"Representative Currie."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. House Bill 233 is a permissive Bill, providing for full state reimbursement for school districts that operate kindergartens on a full time basis. Increasingly the educational research shows that efforts put into education when children are very young, particularly children from disadvantaged families, pays off in the long run. A study in Ypsilanti, Michigan, over a 19 year period, showed that disadvantaged opportunities, children, with early educational were by the time they were grown-ups, much more likely to hold jobs, much less likely to be on welfare, and were during the course of their school years on half as likely to need the resources of special education, as children without those early experiences. School districts, across the state, are increasingly finding that full day kindergarten is the choice, the choice for children, who are educationally disadvantaged, and the choice for children of the middle-class. But presently, our state statutes make a disincentive for those school districts that would like to provide the full day program, because state reimbursement is only available for the first half day. House Bill 233 would correct that error by entitling those school districts that operate full day kindergartens, not requiring any school district to do so, but entitling those districts that do make that chose, to the second half day reimbursement. I think it makes educational sense. I think it establishes our state priorities with early education, which is where education is most effective, and it ent... enables those local school communities to make their own choices, their priorities, the ones that count. I urge your support for House Bill 33  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 233, and I'm happy to answer any questions."

"Is there any discussion? Hoffman." April 14, 1983

Representative Hoffman: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Rather than ask questions of the Sponsor, let me just make a number of observations, which are... I believe are pertinent to this Bill. At the present time, and has been true for many years, we support half day kindergarten, and it's accountable into the General Distributive Fund. At the present time, we have had to reduce, this fiscal Year, the General Distributive Fund by a significant amount because the resources were not available. Also as many of you know, and have heard from your school people, our catigorical funding for Special Ed, and transportation, and other programs has been fractionalized significantly, so whereas they may qualify for 'X' amount of money, we will give them 85, 70, 68% of the resources for which they qualify. The reason for this, of course, say... is the fact that the state does not have the resources. I would suggest to the Members of the House, it is not wise ΟΓ it is not prudent or probably fair for us to extend the programs for which we will pay, when we are unable to pay for the programs that we presently have on the books. I also would suggest to you that if we make this... if this program becomes optional then it will work to the disadvantage of those who chose not have a full day kindergarten, because the bottom line of the General Distributive Fund being finite as is, will be redistributed across those districts that have full day kindergarten to the detriment of those who chose for whatever the reason, to have it for half day, and for these tro reasons, Μr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the it House, I rise in opposition to this particular program. 34  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 Until the state is in a financial position to not only fund the programs that we have on the books, and then put us in the position to make some decisions about what kind of additional program ve would like to fund, including half day kindergarten, I think it... it behooves us to do the moderate and prudent thing and not support this program until we see if we're going to be at some point in time in a financial position to support additional programming."

"Representative Marzuki."

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of this Bill. I think it's a good Bill. Host everyone would agree that education is one of Illinois' best investments, regardless of whether it comes in early childhood or late in life. One of the things that vas proven by the federal programs in education, and one of the few that was most successful was Project Headstart. I think most every educator, most everyone associated with education would agree that the earlier we start with our youngsters, the better chance they have to learn. The more experiences they have, the better chance they have to make it, in an educational way. We need, in this state, to pay attention to our educational expenditures. If it's going to cost us more, so be it. It's an important program, and to allow this program to go down, because we may not have the funds, would be a criminal act in my opinion. I urge everyone to support this Bill, which allows and encourages school districts to begin educationing our youngsters at an early age. Thank you."

"Representative Piel."

"Thank you, Nr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I stand in support of House Bill 233. I think the things that we should sort of keep in... light year, as far as House Bill 233 goes, first of all, it is a completely 35  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 30th Legislative Day permissive Bill. If a school district wants to opt into the... the program, fine, it's a permissive situation. Our analysis here gives us a figure that it's going to cost so many million dollars. Well, that's if every single school district if the State of Illinois opted to go into this program. I think what you've got ot do, you've got to look at the situation of what it's also costing the taxpayers as far as parents. If you have a situation, where both parents are working, what are they going to have to do? They're going to have to go into a situation where their children are not going into the pu... pr... public kindergarten. They're going to have to put them into an all day kindergarten. I know guite a few of By constituants have had this problem, to where it was a mother and father both working, and it was a situation to where they had to go into a private school for an all day situation because they were both working and they could not, you know, afford to have them half day and then come home and then take them to the private school, so I would ask for support of House Bill 233."

"The Lady from DuPage, Representative Nelson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I rise in opposition to this Bill for a number of reasons. I think it is a very important leg... piece of legislation, but a piece of legislation that is probably ill-timed. I agree with Representative Hoffman in his assessment of the financial impact of this Bill on the state, and on our schools. There is only so much money in the pot, and this is a radical shifting of that money. A previous Speaker said that the schools under this Bill will be able educate children at an earlier age. That is not precisely an accurate statement. Children will still begin school at age 5. Children begin school presently at age 5. That has to 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 nothing to do with it. This Bill has to do with how long 5 year old kids will sit in the classroom, and I ask yourself to think of those 5 year olds that you know presently, either your children, or grandchildren, or children down the block from where you live. Are 5 year olds, emotionally and physically, ready to sit there all day, every day? I think not. I think they need other kinds of opportunities for learning, and if those opportunities are at a day-care center, so be it. The schools in the State of Illinois are not in the business of providing day-care, and it is my opinion that that is what this Bill does. I would ask you to vote 'no'."

"Representative Hastert."

"Question of the Sponsor."

"The Lady indicates she'll yield for a question."

"I just need something clarified, here. I understand that there already are full day kindergartens. Is that correct?"

"Some districts do operate full day kindergarten. I have a list of those that presently provide..."

"They don't need a statute to permit them to do that, do they?"

"That's absolutely right. What this Bill would do, however, is make them eligible for the same level of state reimbursement, if they provide a 9 to 3 kindergarten that they presently get for the 9 to 3 first grade."

"I see."

"Presently, they only are entitled to a half day kindergarten stat... half day reimbursement for half day kindergarten, if they provide a full day program, they do so entirely at their own expense."

"I have one other question." 37 1  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day

"Local taxpayer expense."

"I have one other question, then. There April 14, 1983 are full day kindergartens that go every other day or like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or something like that."

"In fact, large numbers of school districts in the state, presently, operate that alternate day kindergarten program. Under the provisions of House Bill 233, their state reimbursement would not be increased, if they continued to provide alternate day programs."

"All right, so what you're saying then in essence is this allows schools to do that full day for five days a week."

"If the school district chooses, remembering too, that the whole kindergarten program in the state is permissive with respect to parents. That is no child has to be enrolled in kindergarten."

"Thank you."

"Representative Steczo."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I rise in support of House Bill 233, and would like to for a moment expand on what the Sponsor has indicated in her responses to the previous questioner, and that's to say that, in the State of Illinois presently, there are appoximately only 70 districts that provide for that type of full day kindergarten, most of which, according to my best recollections, are located downstate, and not in Cook County, not in the City of Chicago, so this piece of legislation definitely would affect and benefit schools... many school districts in the southern... in... downstate Illinois. In addition to that, let me make it clear that presently, these programs and these school districts currently receive funding for one half day, so the purpose 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 of House Bill 233, is to give those 70 districts the opportunity to collect funding for one full day for those students, but there is currently reimbursement provided for half day kindergartens. Finally, let me mention that this Bill will not have any fiscal impact until Fiscal Year 1985. Kindergarten is reimbursable, therefore, the schools receive their money after they have already expended their own, as part of the reimbursement program, therefore, this upcoming fiscal year will have no impact as far as this program goes. It will simply be reimbursed to them in Fiscal Year 1985. For all those reasons, I think the legislation for this Session if fiscally sound. It will not have an impact until next year. It's something that I think is very viable and something that should be done, something that's exremely important, and I would urge everybody in the House to accept House Bill 233."

"Representative Vinson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I wonder if the Sponsor may yield for a question."

"Lady indicates that she will."

"How many other states have a program of this nature?"

"I'm not sure of the exact number, Representative Vinson, but I do think that there are a substantial number."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. To the Bill. I am advised by Staff that the large number of states which have a similar program to this is. exactly zero."

"Is there further discussion? There being none, Representative Currie, to close."

"I guess my information was wrong. This is the opportunity for Illinois to be first off the mark when it comes to establishing the right priorities for our children. I think the issues have been pretty well 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 discussed. This Bill would have no fiscal impact for this year, Fiscal '83, for Fiscal '84. It would have no effect, no impact on the state aid formula, until 19... Fiscal Year 1985, but the real issue in this Bill is not dollars. There is nothing in this Bill that would require us to spend one extra red cent on the education of our school kids. What this Bill does is to say that our priorities go with early childhood education. The research makes it clear that's where the impact will be felt. The research makes it clear that you can save dollars in your categorical programs like special education if you put your money in when the children are young. The Illinois Federation of Teachers, the Illinois Education Association, both these groups support House Bill 233. Professional educators, those people who understand where money spent is well spent, support the concept of House Bill 233 as well. I hope this House will. I urge a 'yes' vote on House Bill 233."

"The question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is now open. Former Representative Corneal Davis is with us on the floor of the House, a great man and a great Representative, always the Dean of the House of Representatives. Representative Satterthwaite to explain her vote."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I think we do need to be emphasizing with this vote that it is for the educational benefit of young children to be able to enroll them for a full-day program on an optional basis if the school district desires to do that. We're finding that in many instances, by a... by the time a child gets into first grade, for instance, that they have already learned to have an adverse reaction to education. By getting them into the 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 programs early, getting them to share the excitement of learning, we're finding a lasting impact over years and years to come within that educational system. I think we are disadvantaging our children across the board if we do not provide them with this opportunity. Certainly, if a local school board does not feel that this is a benefit to their children, they need not initiate the program. For those school districts who do recognize the benefit, for those school districts who are, in many cases, already providing the program, I believe that they deserve to have the full-day reimbursement, and I urge some more votes up there."

"Representative Oblinger."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I only have one comment to make. Not very long ago we were called upon to vote on a Bill that was going to put the age back for when young children could go to first grade, because they aren't ready yet for all-day school. Now, in this one we're saying, 'Oh yeah, but now they are ready at age three, four or five.' I can't understand how people can be inconsistent. We either should say, 'Let them go to school when they're ready and can stand the whole day', or else we should say, 'No, they can't have this kind of education that requires a whole-day school'. We are very inconsistent in our voting."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Representative... Representative Bullock? Representative Barger, Gentleman from DuPage."

"Mr. Speaker, thank you. I rise to explain my vote. The only advantage that I can see to this - all of us who are here either had half-day kindergartens or no kindergarten at all, and we turned out reasonably well. All I can see that this Bill is going to do is to increase the number of 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 members of the faculty for elementary education by twenty percent which will put a heavy burden, not only upon us, but also upon the taxpayers in all of the local school districts. I thank you."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all vote... Representative Pullen, yes, to explain her vote."

"Thank you. This Bill may be permissive on the part of school districts, but it's not permissive on the part of the state's... of the state and could cost as much as 40 million dollars. This is building toward the income tax, and those people who are voting for this had better be willing to vote for a whopping tax increase because this is one of those programs that they're going to have to vote to help fund once they vote to create it. It is a... It is a problem that you should not be creating for yourself for later in this Session, and it's a problem you should not be creating for the taxpayers of Illinois. I urge 'no' votes."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk. Mr. Vinson. Mr. Vinson, to explain your vote. Mr. Vinson, didn't you speak in debate?"

"Well, Mr. Vinson is practicing to be a Clerk someday. Do you want to continue to call these names or what?"

"No, I don't think I have any more."

"Alright, fine. On this Bill there are 62 'ayes', 45 voting 'no', 5 voting 'present', and this Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. And on the Order... No. On the Order of House Bills Third Reading appears House Bill 522... I'm sorry. House Bill 255, Representative Terzich. Read the... Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."

"House Bill 255, a Bill for an Act to amend an Act concerning fees and salaries. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative Terzich."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, House Bill 255 amends the salaries and fees for the regional superintendent of schools and assistant regional superintendent of schools. The salaries of regional superintendent of schools ans assistant regional superintendent of schools are set by state statute, and these salaries are paid from the Common School Fund as part of the State Board of Education appropriation. The last adjustment that the regional superintendents received was 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 in 1979. During their tenure in office that their salary cannot be adjusted, if there is no salary increase; that this will be eight years without any type of a salary adjustment for the regional superintendents. After hearing the Bill and realizing the finanicial crisis the state is in, and it always appears to be in that same state, that the Bill was amended to provide a salary adjustment of 5,000 dollars for the first year and then approximately... Well, it is 1500 dollars for the next three years, which amounts to approximately a 3% salary adjustment. These individuals have done a very, very commendable job in the State of Illinois. Unfortunately, they have to come to the General Assembly for a salary adjustment. There's no other place to go. I feel that this is a well-deserved rate adjustment. It is an economical one and justifiable in relation to today's costs; that they do have bills and expenses like every other employee in the State of Illinois who has received their annual rate adjustments, but they are substantially behind - for example - superintendents of schools, by a substantial amount of money from 10 to 15 thousand dollars. And I would urge your support of House Bill 255."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Johnson."

"Our fiscal note indicates, Representative, that we have in the file, Representative Terzich, that the fiscal impact of this Bill as amended is five million dollars. Now, you've indicated to me off the record that that's incorrect. Can you tell me what the fiscal impact will be?"

"The fiscal impact, according with the fiscal note filed, is the first year cost is 736,000 dollars and each subsequent year would be approximately 223,000 dollars." 47  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983

"That's not what our fiscal note says that's in our file."

"Well, that's the one that was filed from the..."

"We have the one that was filed. It's right here in front of me. I won't debate that. I guess I'll debate the Bill."

"Alright. On the Bill, Mr. Johnson."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I think how we vote on this Bill is an extremely important message to send to your constituents and to the taxpayers of the State of Illinois. As everybody is aware, the Governor and a variety of individuals and groups in this state have debated and will debate until June 30th or past the question of whether we ought to imposes new taxes on the people of Illinois. There's... Some people support that and some don't; but, in any event, nobody's happy with new taxes no matter what the ultimate posture of that is. In addition to that in districts throughout the state, in the Champaign and urbana districts that I represent in part and other districts throughout... school districts throughout my Legislative District, and throughout Illinois, and the Chicago area and downstate we're laying off teachers. We're increasing the size of classes. We're cutting back on, in many cases, essential services to the school children and to the... really the whole body politic, in terms of what we're doing with education. And at the same time, in this Bill, in an absolutely outrageous manner, we're turning around and indicating to the people of Illinois that that notwithstanding we're going to give substantial percentage increases, pay increases, salary increases to Regional Superintendents. When teachers are losing their jobs, when teachers aren't being paid funds commencerate with what they're doing and when school 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 children of Illinois are suffering at the same time, business and taxpayers individually are facing the prospect of tax increases that cut into their ability to live from day to day. While I respect and really, deeply respect the Sponsors of this legislation, I can't think of any single piece of legislation that's more ill-timed than this one. It's bad politics. It's bad government, and it really strikes at the whole heart of what we're down here for. And, if you vote for this legislation and you go back to your individual constituencies and your individual districts and look at all the problems in education and look at the revenue picture of the state and tell them at the same time you voted to increase, in a substantial percentage way, the salaries of a... of a high elected official on the county level, whether they do or don't deserve it, you're not going to be able to come back and be fiscally responsible here on other issues and neither are you going to be able to speak for education and those vital services that are being cut back. I strongly urge a 'no' vote on this legislation. Perhaps in the future when the economy is different, when we can afford it or when revenue increment measures have gone into effect, that's something we can consider or deal with. But we absolutely can't deal with it right now. I've gotten a good many unsolicited letters and calls on this issue, and I can tell you the vast, vast, vast majority of your constituencies and the people of Illinois are absolutely opposed to this Bill."

"Representative Preston."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Gentleman yield for a question?"

"The Gentleman indicates that he will."

"Representative Terzich, I certainly agree that if a person has a job that they should be adequately paid and 49  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 that their salaries should be increased from time to time. But with the State Superintendent of Instruction and with district superintendents and with principals of schools, why do we need this job in the first place?"

"Well, you're not addressing the issue of the salary adjustment. You're discussing the issue of the... of the office, and I, personally... I'm very, very satisfied with the job that the superintendents perform. Now, that... Me, I don't know what that has to do with the salary adjustment. Whether or not we should have regional superintendents?"

"Well, I... I think..."

"I'm happy with ours. I don't if you're not, but I'm happy with our regional superintendent."

"Who's your regional superintendent? Mr. Terzich, who's your regional superintendent?"

"Who's the regional superintendent? Well, you should know. He's yours also. It's Richard Martwood'."

"Richard Martwood'."

"That's correct."

"I... what I've... A lot of constituents and even one Representative that I know myself really doesn't know what the job of a regional superintendent is or why it's required. I'm not picking on you. I just thought perhaps you could tell us what they do that the district superintendents don't do or that the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state doesn't do."

"They supervise the educational service region that they represent."

"I see. Thank you."

"Representative Stuffle."

"Just for the record and Members of the House, the Amendment that I put on the Bill with a colleague on the 50  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 Republican side reduced the first year cost of the salary increase by 55% from where it would have been in the Bill, by about 42% the second year, 38% the third, 24% the fourth. The actual cost that Representative Terzich referred to of 700,000 was accurate. The five million dollar cost that Representative Johnson referred to is the cost calculated by taking existing salaries and adding all the new costs to it. The real increase is as Representative Terzich said. And, as I indicated, that's been cut, virtually, in half, more than half the first year, substantially the rest of the years. I really want to indicate that for the record. And, as Representative Terzich said, it is a touchy point. I don't, obviously, this Bill's going to move anywhere in the scheme of things unless there is new revenue. We're all aware of that. No one wants to hurt education. I think we have to be realistic though. If this office is going to be there, these people, without any raise at this time before August of 1983, would go eight years without any increase at all in salary. So, it's not as easy and simple a political things as possible. I guess you could make a lot of hay out of banging the drum against the Bill. And I know in my area the media... the media was quick to point out what the Bill did originally. Even in attempting to point out to them we're going to cut it substantially, spread the salaries out and the fact that there's an eight year/no pay increase potential alternative without it, they didn't bother to point that out. In fact, they refused, in some cases, even to talk about that, even after we attempted to tell them this was the case. I guess, if you're out to make media points, that's fine, but sometimes you have to make realistic points with what's happening. And I think Representative Terzich has done as best he can with a tough 51  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 Bill in the face of some tough criticism that may not be totally well put. And simply put, too, I think that there comes a time when you have to look at the real situation instead of one that's created by a media hyp, and that's the case here."

"Representative Ropp."

"Yeah, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I guess we are getting very much concerned about costs of State Government, and I'm as concerned as anybody. But I'm equally concerned about the quality of education, and I question whether or not, if we withhold money here, we're going to not improve the quality of education. I'm not sure really, if we don't increase the salaries to teachers, that, individually, the quality of education will be reduced per se. I'm not sure that if we do not give additional scholarships to students, that we will affect the quality of education. But, what I really think is that the quality of education is the sum total of a number of different things, including administrators, including instructors. And if you don't have students to go to school, you really can't determine a real good, quality education. I'm saying it's a sum total of everything, and that it is a bit long, in my opinion, even though we are a bit short of dollars, to say that people in this position should not be given consideration for salary increases at least in an eight-year period. I think the 10,000 dollars that initially was requested was too high. They have come back and amended that down. I'm in the position that I think I can support an Amendment downed from the previous 10,000 dollars. In my opinion, this is going to help the quality of education a piece; and, certainly if you're talking about dollars, we're talking about fewer dollars than the 15,000 dollar increase we gave to each of the 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 Judges throughout the State of Illinois."

"Is there further discussion? There being none, Representative Terzich to close."

"Well, yes again, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, it's not an easy Bill to come up and ask for a salary adjustment, but again, this is the only place that the superintendents can request a salary adjustment. And eight years is really ridiculously too long. All the other state employees that come under a personnel code or the teachers under a union contract have always gotten their annual salary adjustments. We can't expect these people to survive. This is not going to affect the educational system one way or another about the quality of education, because in the same token that they have to be adequately reimbursed for their talents in providing the educational needs of the children of the State of Illinois. Like I say, we reviewed this. I... And it's a very minimal type of a salary adjustment of 5,000 dollars, 1500 dollars for each year, thereafter, for the next four years which amounts to approximately 3%. And I'm sure that everyone else is going to get a more substantial salary adjustment than that. I wish there was somewhere else they could go, but they do have their needs, their families and things to provide for. And this is certainly a minimal adjustment, and I would certainly appreciate your consideration in voting 'aye' for House Bill 255."

"The question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open. Have all voted... Have all voted who wish? Representative Terzich to explain his vote."

"Well, again, Mr. Speaker, I'm really disappointed in seeing the red lights up there. You know, I don't 53  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 necessarily like to Sponsor any pay raise Bills, but you also have to stand up to be counted as vell. If these people had some other place to go for a salary adjustment or if someone can tell me what a reasonable amount is, I would have certainly listened. Now, we did negotiate and cut the Bill in half. It's only a 5,000 dollar salary adjustment, which they haven't had an adjustment in four years. They cannot get another one for another four years, or a total of eight years, and there's only a 1500 dollar annual adjustment on that. The amount is only 700,000 dollars, and certainly they have needs. And, you know, when it comes to other peoples' adjustment, you're going to say the same thing to the teachers? Are you going to say the same thing to the State Police? Are you going to say the same thing to the state employees, in this economical crunch, that you are not allowed to have a livable wage, that you cannot provide for your family, that you cannot do all of the things that are required because you are inadequately paid and saying that you have to bite the bullet? Well, these people have been biting the bullet for the last four years."

"Bring your remarks to a close, Sir."

"So, you know, let's give some serious consideration. I don't think that a 'no' vote is a proper vote. I think that a red... or an 'aye' vote is certainly a well-considered vote, and certainly these people definitely deserve this salary adjustment and need your support as well."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Bill there are 48 voting 'aye', 48 voting 'no', 14 voting 'present'. Representative Terzich."

"May I please have the Poll of the Absentees, please?" 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 30th Legislative Day

"Gentleman requests a Poll of the Absentees. Representative Johnson, for what purpose do you rise?"

"Just on the outside chance that the poll of absentees would... would allow these impoverished 41,000 dollar-a-year public citizens to get their 60 votes, I'd ask to verify that."

"If he can make eight into twelve, okay. Representative... Mr. Clerk, would you poll the absentees?"

"Poll of the Absentees. Barnes. Domico. Ralph Dunn. Henry. Huff. Rhem. Vitek and Winchester. No further."

"Gentleman requests Postponed Consideration. Postponed Consideration. On the Order of House Bills Third Reading appears House Bill 266. Out of the record. On the Order of House Bills Third Reading appears House Bill 267. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 267, a Bill for an Act to amend certain Acts in relationship to the performance of bonds for certain landfills. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative Nelson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 267 provides for the posting of performance bonds for sanitary landfills. Under present law, there must be a financial responsibility for hazardous waste disposal sites, but we have no similar kind of law or rule regarding a regular landfill. And yet, a regular landfill can develop problems after closure. What the Bill does is amend the Environmental Protection Act to require persons who dispose of nonhazardous waste to post a 55  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 performance bond, which is a kind of form of insurance, so that if problems develop with the landfill after it is closed - and let's say for instance the operator of the landfill has declared bankruptcy or, for some other reason, has gone out of business. There is created a fund that will be available in that case to protect the environment. I'd be glad to answer any questions that you have about House Bill 267."

"Is there any discusson? Representative Friedrich."

"Would the Sponsor yield? Is the bond..."

"Indicates that she will, Sir."

"Is the bond for an indefinite period or for a specific period?"

"The... The bond is posted for an indefinite period."

"Representative Nelson."

"Did you hear me?"

"No."

"Excuse me. The bond is posted for an indefinite period. It says, 'There is hereby created within the State Treasury a special fund to be known as the Landfill Closure and Post-Closure Fund. Monies collected by the State of Illinois from any performance bond shall be placed in this Fund and shall, on approval of the Governor and the Director, be used by and under the direction of the Agency for the purposes that the bond was issued.' So, the answer is indefinite."

"Well, my only comment that would be, I think if you go to get a bond like that for an indefinite period probably costs will be prohibitive, and I doubt if you'll be able to get it. But I just want to point that out. I think you're really, by making this requirement, probably procluding the ability to get the bond to perform in the 56  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day first place. I think the cost of the prohibitive if it's indefinite." April 14, 1983 bond would be to me and

"Well, I appreciate your pointing that out perhaps, if the Bill moves over to the Senate, I should address that problem, Representative."

Voting is now open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk. Mr. Clerk, take the record.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would ask leave to move this Bill back to Second Reading for a technical Amendment, please."

"The Lady asks for leave to remove the Bill to Second Reading for the purpose of Amendment. Leave is hereby granted. Are there any Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #5, Breslin, amends House Bill 291 as amended."

"Representative Breslin."

"Yes. Ladies and Gentlemen, in Committee, the Committee asked that this Bill be amended so that seniority would be accorded to employees in shared positions under the same terms as all other employees. We adopted that Amendment in 57  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 Committee; however, the Reference Bureau failed to take out the other language dealing with seniority in shared positions. Amendment #5 eliminates that language and puts the Bill in the form that the Committee desired it. I would appreciate a favorable Roll Call."

"Is there any discussion? There being none, all those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendment?"

"No further Amendments."

"Third Reading. Representative Breslin, for what purpose do you rise?"

"I would ask to suspend Rule 37 (c) at this time to have the Bill immediately heard on Third Reading."

"The Lady asks leave to suspend the appropriate rule for... in order to consider this Bill on the Order of Third Reading. It takes 71 votes. All... Is there any discussion? Is there leave? The Lady have leave for the Attendance Roll Call? Lady has leave for the Attendance Roll Call. And the Attendance Roll Call be journalized for the vote on suspension of the rule for House Bill 291. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill a third time."

"House Bill 291, a Bill for an Act in relationship to job sharing by state employees. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative Breslin."

"Thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen, this Bill creates an Act that allows all of state employment to engage in what is called job sharing. At the present time, all of the offices under the Personnel Code are allowed to engage in job sharing. That has taken place since 1979. However, the Clerks of the Appellate Court, the several courts of this state and the Legislature are not presently allowed to 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 engage in job sharing. The advantage of job sharing is that two individuals may share one position. When ve discussed the whole issue of making jobs more flexible in State Government in 1979, we went to flex time, and we also allowed the shared position. You should know that it is not engaged in in a large number in state employment. At the present time, there are only 10 employees in State Government that are job sharing. However, at... whenever people desire to share jobs, they go to the... the administrative offices and request that position. It is entirely permissive in the state and, under this Bill, would be permissive in all other State Government positions that the employer grant job sharing. In addition to that, the Committee requested three changes in the Bill. The first is that we make it very clear that job sharing, or entry into shared positions be voluntary on the part of the employee. That also is intended. As a matter of fact, the head of employment for this state indicates that he has never, ever even considered granting shared positions unless it is specifically requested by the employees. In addition to that, there is language in the Bill that says that where the employees of the state agency form a recognized collective bargaining unit or are presently subject to an existing bargaining unit, then those shared positions shall be subject to negotiations. The third Amendment requested by the Committee deals with the issue of seniority. The State Government treats seniority in shared positions and in part-time positions the same as all other employees, and they wanted that language specifically in the Bill. In this form, I believe that the Bill is advantageous. It grants greater flexibility to the... to a management, to employers, and I think it is ... should be understood that women employees are expected to be the 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 primary beneficiaries of the Bill so that those people who want to take time off to raise families can remain as participants in the work force. And this makes it for more easy and more flexible for them to do so, if the employers are interested in that kind of positions also. I'd be happy to answer any questions."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Matijevich."

"Would the Lady yield to a question?"

"Lady indicates that she will."

"Peg, would you make it clear to this Body - let's say that an employee says, 'I want to share a job'. Is it explicit - I'm sure I know your intent - but is it explicit that it is the... within the purview of the state agency that... For example, I want to share a job. Say I work with my wife, although I don't, in a position of State Government, and I'd like to share with her. Is it explicit that it's within the State Government that they determine who you share the job with?"

"Representative Breslin."

"That is certainly the intent of the legislation. It is to be completely permissive on the part of the employer, the state governing agency. This language that we have used uses the word 'may share', and that is the same language presently used under 127 1/2 governing State Governments. That's why we used that; however, for purposes of legislative intent, it is certainly within the purview of management to make that determination as to whether or not they want to allow job sharing and as to who can participate in job sharing."

"I just wonder if... I wouldn't want to hold a good Bill up, but I just wonder if maybe in the Senate they shouldn't have a provision to make that very clear. I know 60  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 your legislative intent, and I don't know if our discussion on the floor is good enough. I just think you ought to make it more explicit."

"I will certainly have the Senate Committee discuss that."

"Representative.... Representative Olson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of this Bill. In a Work-Sharing Subcommittee which we held last fall in Springfield, the subject vas given to us by some court reporters in the Peoria area. This is not to be confused with work sharing. It does not put into place mechanism that ve can't deal with the unemployment trust area. So, I would urge the support of this Bill. As Representative Breslin has pointed out, it deals with those people in this agency or agencies who might be able to make use of the mechanism which we offer them and is cost-effective and is not detrimental to the fundamental financial structure."

"Representative McGann."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield for a point of clarification?"

"She indicates that she will."

"Thank you. Peg, given a 40 hour week, would this Bill be interpreted that two people could share 20 hours or two people could share 30 and 10 hours or...?"

"The Bill allows that flexibility to the employer to make that decision. They are not required, under the statute, to go exactly half and half, and that, by the way, vas also the request of management. They prefer to have that flexibility. For instance, if someone got sick, they wanted to be sure that the person that they were sharing the job with could come in and do the job full time while that person was recovering. So, they wanted that 61  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day flexibility."

"I see. Thank you." April 14, 1983

"Is there... Is there further discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Harris."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield for a question?" Speaker Greiman; "Indicates that she will."

"Representative Breslin, many people throughout the state now sometimes feel that the State Government... State Government employees are not working as effeciently and as productively as they might. That might be an unjustified belief, but do you think that if someone works a position or two people share a position for a week, let's say somebody works 30 hours, another person works 10 hours, or conceivably, someone works 35 hours and another person works 5 hours that that position is going to be effectively filled in State Government?"

"I would say it probably wouldn't be in the sample that you give; however, it would be up to the employer to make that decision. I would think that the... traditionally, the employer would make a decision to say one person works one week and another persons works the other week. The... One of the situations cited was of court reporters, and that's exactly what those court reporters wanted to do. They wanted to share a position so that one works six months and the other works six months. So, it would be up to the employer to make the decision as to how his office or her office is best served in granting shared employment."

"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Is there further discussion? Representative Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield?" 62  STATE OP ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983

"She indicates that she will."

"Representative Breslin, have you addressed the issue of seniority? How does this Bill affect seniority?"

"Seniority is to be given to all people under this Bill in the same provisions that are provided for all full-time employees. That vas discussed in Committee, and it vas specifically requested by the Committee that that be allowed. The head of the Employee and Labor Relations Division of the Department of Administrative Services says that that's how it operates presently in State Government, and that's how he prefers that it continue to operate."

"And seniority is significant for what purpose? Layoffs?"

"Seniority can be significant for layoffs. It can be significant for accumulating vacation time, for instance. He pointed out quite appropriately that if you worked five years, and you thus acquired two weeks vacation time you should get that two weeks whether or not you are working in a part-time position, a flex-time position, a compacted-time position, whatever position it was. Because in a shared position, you would still only receiving... be receiving your shared-time salary, although it would be for two weeks."

"Alright, thank you."

"Is there further discussion? There being none, the Lady from LaSalle to close."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would appreciate your favorable vote on this legislation. I think it gives employers and employees a lot more flexibility in jobs available in State Government."

"The question is, 'Shall this Bill pass?". All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those... by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open.

"Floor Amendment #1, Reilly, amends Senate Bill 177 on page one and so forth."

"Representative Reilly on Amendment #1."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and this is the Amendment that we were on yesterday. We have attempted to, through various individual conferences, to clarify the issue. It's 64  30th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 14, 1983 no different, in a sense, than it was yesterday. I would hope on both sides, mine and the other, that we would not have to repeat all the speeches that ve gave yesterday. The issue hasn't, in that sense, changed. I would urge adoption of Amendment #1 and be glad to answer any questions."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Terzich."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. With regard to Amendment #1, it's still they're raping the pension system, and that should not be used to support State Government. And, if the... if the Amendment is adopted, then I'm certain that everyone who is supporting the Amendment will support my Bill that will reduce the employees' contribution for the same amount that the Governor feels that he wants to reduce the pension contribution. And it's about time that the state stop raiding the pension systems which desperately need the money and start providing benefits for the participants, rather than denying them benefits because of their unfunded liability on account of the employer not wanting to make his contribution into the pension system. And therefore, I would oppose this Amendment and any other additional Amendments of this nature."

"Representative Stuffle."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I dispense with the remarks of yesterday simply to say briefly, however, that the same problems exist that existed yesterday. Representative Terzich clearly outlined them. We're once again deciding to put on the backs of the annuitants in the pension systems the brunt of an 85 million dollar cut. This is the third such reduction in pay out. The third time, after the Governor said it would only occur once, 65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 that it's been done. We're continuing to take money from the same people over, and over and over again. On the other hand, then we come back and put them in the catch-22 and say, 'That's why we can't give you any new benefits. That's why the fund is underfunded. That's why we have a problem.' You can't cut it both ways and win. I think the Governor's created a situation. He created it right up to election day. Now he's trying to take it out of the hides of these people in one fell, unfair swoop, taking it from the same people over and over again. There are alternatives. They have to be looked at, as indicated yesterday. I don't think this is a fair approach to these people; and, for that reason as Representative Terzich said, it ought to be defeated."

"Representative Curran."

"Mr. Speaker, yesterday Representative Stuffle noted that Representative Reilly had used the word 'take' when referring to this 85 million dollars, rather than the word 'borrow'. With all due respect to my friends, Representative Reilly and Representative Stuffle, I want to suggest to the Members that the more appropriate word here is 'steal'. If you reach down and vote 'yes' on this Bill, you're voting to make a mockery of the promise of sound retirement system. You're voting to allow the Governor to steal 85 million dollars, mostly from teachers and state employees. It's high time that this Body had enough courage to say no to this kind of process of trying to force teachers and state employees to pick up the tab for the sloppy bookkeeping that's been done in the last several years by the Governor. I strongly encourage a 'no' vote on this very bad Amendment."

"Representative Vinson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 House. What we are really faced here with this spring is the question of whether we are going to cut some 80 million dollars here for this purpose or whether we're going to cut some 300 million dollars from ongoing programs - programs like education, like mental health - direct service care. Now the simple fact is that if you cut this 80 or 85 million dollars that's proposed in this Amendment, you're not going to affect the provision of any service that's important to the people of this state. You're not going to affect the provision of any service. Beyond that, you're not going to deny a check to anyone, either an existing employee or a retired employee. But if you make the option ... If you choose to reject this option of making this cut, then you're going to be forced to deal with the situation where you have to take checks away from employees who are currently working for the state or local school districts. You're going to have to cut existing teaching jobs, existing mental health jobs, or you're going to make the option for the Treasurer of this state of not being able to send out the voucher to the employee or to the school district. The money simply is not there. There are two choices. You can make a cut which will hurt no one in the short term, or you can make a cut later that's going to hurt an awful lot of people very, very painfully and very immediately. And for those reasons, I urge support of Mr. Reilly's Amendment."

"Representative Flinn."

"Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question."

"Gentleman from St. Clair has moved the previous question. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it and Representative Reilly to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is one of those issues 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 that's easy to demagogue on. It's easy to campaign on. There... You can present a very simplistic arguement that means absolutely nothing. Everybody here in their heart of hearts know those arguements don't mean anything. 'Steal', all that kind of PR poppycock, is just nonsense. We all know that. The pension fund, even with this cut, will take in 950 million dollars this year and pay out 450 million dollars less than that. There will be... What we're dealing with here is the question of how much we're putting in. We're not taking anything out. No beneficiary will lose anything under the Prudent Person Rule that Representative Karpiel passed through the Legislature last year. We were successful; and, as a result of that, for example, just in the Teacher Retirement Fund alone there's been something like a one-third growth in the value of the assets held by that Fund, just since the first of December which is an amazing growth and an amazing record. And all the talk that somehow this endangers pensions, you know, maybe you can campaign. Maybe by making all those people feel as if they're going to lose something, maybe you'll gain something. I hope you can live with your conscience when you mislead them in that way. It is not true. The fund is in good shape. It will be in good shape. It will continue to be in good shape after this Amendment. The alternative is either a big tax increase or big cuts. None of you who are opposing this on the grounds that one union or one kind of group or another is against it will vote for those cuts. You know that. You ought to be honest with us about that. The fact is that this is a reasonable proposal to get through a very trying period in this state's history. I urge adoption of Amendment #1.

"The question here is, 'Shall Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 177 be adopted?'. All those in favor signify 68  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 30th Legislative Day April 14, 1983 by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'.

To explain your vote, Representative Hoffman. Have all voted who wish? Voting... Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this... On this Amendment there are 54 voting 'aye', 49 voting 'no', 1 voting 'present', and this Amendment is hereby adopted. Further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #2, McGann, amends Senate Bill 117 (sic - 177) as amended."

"Representative McGann."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker..."

"Mr. McGann, go ahead. Proceed."

"... colleagues in this Assembly, I'm offering this Amendment to Senate Bill 177 inasmuch as House Amendment #1 covers an area of 4 million dollars to restore partially funds which were cut under the Emergency Budget Act to allow the reserve of funds from FY '83. The total cut to the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities amounted to 16 million dollars. Institutions were cut 8 million. Grant and aid to the centers were cut 8 million. The funds cut from grants and aid were equally important to the five regions of our state. We should support this Amendment to provide funds; that is, to restore funds need to continue their most needed programs. The handicapped people jeopardized by these cuts have no options. They are limited for all their lives by the painful burdens and agonizing restrictions of their handicap. I ask all of you to please give a 'yes' vote on this Amendment."
