"The late Peter Marshall, who served the United States Senate as Chaplain, once said, 'If God exists at all, then He is the most important of all that does exist. In the spirit of that truth, let us pray. O God, we pray that this day, all our motivation and activity shall be in harmony with Your own character. God of mercy, make us compassionate. God of righteousness, may we always be equitable. God of holiness, cause us to be aware of Your nearness. God of justice, give us the sense of our own accountability. God of love, grant us the courage of self-sacrifice. In our weakness, we ask Your help. Where we lack knowledge, we seek Your wisdom. In our human limitations, assist us from Your own limitlessness. And because, as the Psalmist testified in Your presence as fullness of joy, make this Assembly a joyful gathering, resulting from Your presence to sanctify it. We offer our prayer in the name of Your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen."

About a month ago, I had proposed legislation that would have cut funds for Governor's State University and two law schools, and I know there is several Members here that have heard various reports from the media on what I had intended 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day to do with that Bill. April 15, 1983 After talking with former Majority Leader Clyde Choate and several other higher officials...in higher education, I would like to... I have agreed to table that Bill, because I am convinced that they have seen the need for reviewing spending and educational priorities in this state. So, I would ask leave at this time to table House Bill 672."

"Mr. Speaker, on a slightly more serious note. Several of our Members have expressed serious concern in regard to the proposed new schedule of the House Judiciary Committee. I understand that the Chairman announced that the Committee would begin meeting during time slots assigned to other Committees. And as you know when you sent out that form earlier in the spring, we carefully worked on Member assignments to Committees to try to avoid duplications. Now I understand the workload that that Committee has to deal with. It is probably the worst workload in the House. But it would seem to me that rather than meet at times when - for instance, Representative Topinka, a Member of the Judiciary Committee, has to serve as Spokesman of the Human Services Committee - that the Judiciary Committee might conduct its additional time in the evening, for instance, and be able to dispatch with this workload then, rather than to create conflicts for Members in that fashion."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, just to make a...a slight correction in that. It's the House Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee that meets at that time, normally, on Wednesday afternoons, and it will be in direct conflict to any future Judiciary load. So, it would be rather difficult hitting two Committees at the same time."

"Representative Piel, this is not a new program. It has been funded priorly by this General Assembly. At the present time, however, there is a no line item with regards to this subject matter. The cost of this package - there are some variations regarding the cost. I do have the figures from the Chicago Police Department, who will be in conjunction with the Department of Law Enforcement that gives me figures from Chicago for 1982, that they spent $26,000. And in 1983, the year we're talking about, they are projecting that $24,000 might have to be allotted, that the cost per kit is $5.25. As to the fiscal note filed by the Department of Law Enforcement, they have given me a rough estimate of $61,000 for this program. However, in prior years when this Bill has been funded by private organizations and by this General Assembly, the cost factor was somewhere in the range of $10 to $12,000 yearly."

"Alright, we, the State of Illinois through the Auditor General's Office, pay for two audits of the RTA. One is the RTA audit itself, the audit the Auditor General goes in and has of the RTA itself, and we also go and we audit all of the little carries in the suburb...in the suburban area, like the West Town bus, various other things. We pay for that now. What we're saying is is that that is really an obligation of the RTA. It should come out of RTA funds, and we're talking about $3,000,000...or $300,000 a year that we're spending, and we want to quit spending that money and make them do it."

"You said that you wanted to delete the state having to pay for these audits of the various carriers and make the RTA do it instead. Is there anything in this Bill or in any other law that does make the BTA do that?"

"Yes. They are responsible to provide an audit. In fact, my own personal feeling is that we should not have the Auditor General even audit the RTA, because that costs us approximately $400,000 a year. They, under their charter, are responsible for doing an audit. So what they do is they don't do an audit. They use our audit as the one that's mandated that they should do."

"But they are required to audit the individual carriers?"

"That's correct." 35  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983

"Are they required to file that audit anywhere?"

"No, it's in their records, and if we need them, we could get them. We have found - I think I can speak for the Auditor General - we have found that in these audits there has been very, very few exceptions and very few problems with the suburban transit lines."

"But there's no requirement that the RTA publish the audit that they are supposedly required to make."

"No, but they are available to the Auditor General through the RTA."

"Is there anything in the law that requires them to make that available?"

"Yes, there is."

"Thank you."

Hearing no objections, leave is granted. Representative Reilly on Senate Joint Resolution 22."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Senate Joint Resolution 22 is consistent with the action which I hope and believe we are about to take on Senate Bill 177, in that it puts us firmly on record, together with the Senate which has already passed this, as indicating that while, because of the Federal Internal Revenue Code and provisions of it, while we cannot take back the contribution already put into the General Assembly and Judicial Retirement Systems for this fiscal year, puts us firmly on record that we will do that the first time we can, which is in the appropriation Bill which we will be considering soon for next fiscal year. It seems to me that that's appropriate that we treat ourselves equally with everyone and; therefore, I would move adoption of Senate Joint Resolution 22."

"House Bill 177, a Bill for an Act making an appropriation for the ordinary and contingent expense of the Department of Public Aid. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Gentleman from Morgan, Representative Reilly, on the Bill."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is only the first of a series of tough questions that we're going to face in the General Assembly this year, for those of you who find this tough, as I certainly do. My only consolation is that much tougher things are coming if we're going to survive this year and not bankrupt the state and get through next year with some semblance of order. We have made cuts in every single area of state spending. All this does, again I reiterate, is cut back the amount we will contribute. We will still contribute. The pension fund will still take in almost 500 million dollars more this year than it will pay out. The fund is in good shape. In a good year, I would never think of recommending this, but given all the other cuts we've made, given the alternatives which none of us want to face, I would urge adoption of this Bill, which I might remind also deals with the Public Aid WIN Program which we need to get going on and deals with Representative McGann's Amendment to add money for community mental health and deals with the transfers and supplemental for the Department of Mental Health. I would urge passage of Senate Bill 177."

"The Gentleman has moved for passage of Senate Bill 177. On that question, the Gentleman from Bureau, Representative Mautino."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I spoke in opposition to the original Amendment ... it was presented, and I now stand in opposition to the 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 Bill, even though it has been amended so that some sweeteners are thrown in. I guess my concern comes in the area of the 3.8 million dollars that's a supplemental under the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities; and, for the information of the rest of the Members of the House, my concern is very basic. The Department, in asking for this supplemental, I believe, has carried off probably the largest miscarriage of justice as it pertains to laying people off, direct-care people, in the area of mental health and developmental disabilities. What they've done is they've laid off and fired all of the diet... dietary people and closed the kitchen, and now they're asking for money for contractual services to contract food into that facility. They have, as well, eliminated and fired the maintenance employees thinking that the Department of Corrections would pick up that appropriation. They did not do that. So, now they're asking for additional funds to contract out for maintenance at that facility. They have a total mismanagement provision under that conversion program that is supposedly ongoing at the Dixon Developmental Center - a total boondoggle. Those that are responsible, in my estimation, should not have the authority to come into this General Assembly and say, "Give us 3.8 million dollars". And that facility is in my district. It is so mismanaged within that Department that contractual service line items for employees have been increased, while as well the direct-care employees for those clients that need the help have been decreased. There are no beds in many of the other facilities for the transfer ability, no viable program, as we know it, that was started approximately 15 years ago for those that cannot help themselves. Although I disagree with the provisions to cut the state's 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 allocation to the pension program, it is secondary to the mental health issue, I believe. As a person who has tried to address the financial question as it pertains to pensions, I'd like to point out that any accountant will tell you that whenever the formula for provisions for two annuitants are 51% or less, you've got a very large problem, a problem that within 60 to 90 days will probably occur to less than 51% of actual funding, which means that the system will probably be broke. This is a short, band-aid proposal for gross mismanagement by the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, Governor Thompson and the administration, which includes as well, Mr. Ryan, who I am hopeful is a part of the administration. But I believe, most importantly, there should be an in depth look at the rationale for a supplemental appropriation and the ridiculous posture of taking money from pension annuitants that we have promised them and reduced it by 19%. It's no better today than it was two days ago. I still vote 'no'."

"Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bowman."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I reluctantly rise in support of this legislation - I say, reluctantly. I hope we would be able to resolve our fiscal crisis by this time, and I think we have, unfortunately, postponed the fiscal crisis. There have been a number of steps that have been taken to postpone it. There is no question that we have one. It's only a question of when we deal with it, but let me tell you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, if this Bill is defeated, we will have a full-blown fiscal crisis on our hands of monumental proportions right at the moment of the General Assembly's schedule when we're least able to deal with it, at a time when Committee workloads and the 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 workload on the floor will be at their peak. And so, I think that we need to expedite the work of the House. I think we need to consider, very thoughtfully and carefully, a long-term solution to our fiscal problem, and I think that a thoughtful, careful process will be ill-served if we were to defeat this Bill. So, I think it is necessary to pass the legislation. I would point out to those people who are concerned about the pensioners - and I am concerned as well - they do have a constitutional protection of their benefits. So, their benefits are not jeapordized. What we are doing here is... is simply, you know, rearranging the... the... the problem, shifting the time in which we have to make critical decisions, and part of the long-term fiscal solution, I think, must be adequate pension funding. And I'm prepared to support that in the long term, but again, this is a short-term solution. And we must get through the next couple of months, or we will not be able to survive or avoid bankruptcy. Lastly, I would point out to, especially to my colleagues on this side of the aisle who have been so supportive of Representative McGann, I'd just like to remind everybody that while there is an increased appropriation in the... the Bill for funding for state mental health facilities, Representative McGann offered an Amendment which was accepted by Representative Reilly, the Sponsor of the Bill, that would provide an equal increase for community funding. And I think all of us have a deep commitment to community mental health facilities and programs and that we have treated both of the institutions and the facilities evenhandedly through Representative McGann's Amendment. And so, I think that for those of you who are concerned about the Governor's impoundment of monies for community mental health programs, that you really ought to vote for this Bill, because this 43  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 provides an additional 4 million dollars for community mental health programs. That's money that they very dearly need, and I'm sure that everyone here can... can understand that. So, I simply rise and support Representative Reilly in trying to pass this piece of legislation. I hope that we will be... then be able to deal with the long-term problem in a very thoughtful, deliberate manner and reach a true solution which will restore the pension funds and make them whole. Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Sangamon, Representative Curran."

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an important vote. Of the several thousand times we're going to have the opportunity to vote in the next couple years, in my opinion, this is one of fifty or so votes that many groups and publications are going to look upon when they analyze our performance here. I offer this caution especially to my fellow Members of the freshman class, on both sides of the aisle, as well as to those of us who are representing so-called marginal districts, and marginal districts can take in a lot of turf when you consider what Bob Blair went through in... it was in 1976 or '78. When you reach over and you push that red button or that green button, you will, if you are a freshman, be writing in indelible ink on the first page of your legislative resume and whether you're a freshman or not, the ink will be indelible and the resume will have your name on it. Now, obviously, I think it's really clear here that what we're talking about is not Senate Bill 177, but the Amendment of yesterday which attempts to cover up the mistakes of the past several years with one more shell game of sloppy governmental bookkeeping. We've got to be honest with ourselves. What we're talking about is stealing 85 million dollars from 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 teachers and state employee pension funds, and we're talking about stealing this money from these pension funds at a time when teachers and state employees are being asked to make it from year to year with little or no salary increases. We're being told by the Governor that stealing 85 million dollars from the pension funds isn't really stealing, because either: a) The Governor has done this so often before that nobody's going to protest, or b) Because this stealing is just really a way of paying about one-half of what we owe. And we have a precedent for calling that kind of stealing 'underfunding'. It's a nice... nice euphemism. Or see, because these are troubled times and golly, gee-whiz, we'll just make it up to them next year when the economy turns around, and we all live happily ever after. This is a fairy tale. This is the same kind of fairy tale they got mixed up in in Washington when they let the Social Security System hang out, because they refused to face up to the real challenges before them. And they took the easy, politically, convenient way out. As a result, the Social Security System is a disgrace. Now, if you take a look at this from the overview, you'll see what we're being asked to do is to shortchange state employees and shortchange teachers and use the same kind of careless fiscal practices that put the Social Security System in the mess it's in now. We're asked to break our word to ten of thousands of state employees and teachers, constituents in our districts for the temporary, political advantage of somebody who came here last year and asked for the same kind of advantages, the same kind of request. But last year the claim was made that we'd be paying more this year. Senate Bill 177 proves that last year that wasn't true. It's not true now. And because of the broken promises, and because of the almost embarrassingly careless 45  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day fiscal posture of this Amendment, I vote your conscience, to vote 'no'.

April 15, 1983 urge the Members to Thank you." "Gentleman from Marion, Representative Friedrich."

"Would the Sponsor yield?"

"The Sponsor indicates he will yield."

"Representative Reilly, do you know of any annuitant that ever failed to get the pension check as proposed or as provided for by law?"

"Representative Reilly."

"No, Representative Friedrich. The... As you know, the benefits are set by law and are paid on that basis. Furthermore, the Constitution that you took part in writing makes that a contractual obligation we can't get out of even if we wanted, which we don't." Friedrich:

"Isn't it a fact that this does not take money out of the fund? It just does not put as much money in as had been originally proposed." "That is correct."

"There is money being put in over and above this."

"Two hundred and sixty million dollars."

"And what were the earnings on these pension funds Reilly: last year in... that went into funds also?" "Each fund... Each fund was slightly different; but, for example, I believe it was the Teachers' Fund that gained 33 1/3, a full third in value just since December 1st because of the high rate of return they've been able to produce this year."

"So, the pension funds are really backed up by the full faith and credit of the State of Illinois."

"That's correct."

"Gentleman from Cook, Representative Taylor."

"Ar. Speaker, I move the previous question." 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day Speaker McPike: question

"Gentleman has moved the previous question. is, 'Shall the previous question be put?'. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Motion carries. Previous question is put. Representative Reilly to close." "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Enough has been said here. We had one really silly speech about stealing, which I think we all know is really April 15, 1983 The silly. Beyond that, the fact is that we are not only not stealing, we are also not taking, as Representative Friedrich has pointed out and as Representative Bowman has pointed out. We are simply reluctantly taking a step to curtail spending here, as we have in every other area of the budget. Nobody wants to do this, and nobody wants to vote for a tax increase. Nobody wants to vote for other spending cuts, least of all the groups that are conducting this fight. It's the only choice that we have to go through the rest of this year in some reasonable fashion without bankrupting the State of Illinois. Everybody in their heart of hearts knows that's true, no matter what speech they may give. I, therefore, urge the House to adopt and pass Senate Bill 177."

"The question is, 'Shall Senate Bill 177 pass?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. The Gentleman from Coles to explain his vote, Representative Stuffle."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members, I think Representative Mautino and Curran were right. For Representative Reilly to suggest that opposition is silly is to merely suggest that we should advocate everything we were elected to do, not be responsible on the other hand. I think this is a terrible, terrible Bill. It's worse than borrowing. It's worse than stealing. It's raping a pension system that's 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 31st Legislative Day already been raped three times after it's been promised twice before that it wouldn't happen again, and this won't be the last time that it happens. We only seem to be able to find one spot to get the money. And somehow we're suppose to vote for the Bill now, because we've done one lauditory thing, which is right for Representative McGann. That is true, but everything else in the Bill smells just as bad today as it did three days ago."

"Gentleman from NcLean, Representative Ropp."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I ... interested at some of the comments that some of the people mention here. I think we're actually also elected here to show some leadership, in terms of how we spend our money, in terms of how we actually go out and get it, and I don't see anyone, at this point, who's excited about generating new monies. If this Bill isn't passed, we're going to start next year with a heck of a lot less than we will be starting with. It's not stealing from anybody. We have already contributed something like 260 million dollars into the Retirement Pension Fund. I think, if all of our own pocketbooks showed as much growth as this current pension fund with the legislation that we passed last year, we'd all be happier. This is an important piece of legislation that needs passing so that we, in fact, can stay that the state is in the black. It's needed. It's time to show your leadership in a fiscal way, and a green vote is certainly urgently needed."

"One minute to explain your vote, the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bullock."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Once again, I guess earlier in the Session we find that we're all served up a nice menu. We're all served up a placebo once again, and we're told that we're to take it 48  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 and like it. I certainly am sympathetic to the problems of poor people, but I'm egually sympathetic to the problems of the aged and pensioners. They do not want us to expose them to unnecessary risk. They don't want us to provide to them a hopeless pipe dream, and I think we're going an awful long way in that direction when we start spending the pensioners money. I can't support it, and I certainly, at this time, will cast a 'no' vote."

"Gentleman from DuPage, Representative Hoffman, to explain your vote."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise today to explain my 'aye' vote. This is not a choice between what is good and what is bad. It's a choice between alternatives neither of which are good. And in my judgement, in terms of the... the options and the alternatives that we have available to us this time, that given the givings, for all practical purposes, ve have nowhere to go but to support this proposal. As a member of one of the systems which is directly effected by this, I fear not. No benefits have been reduced nor will they, and I would encourage an 'aye vote."

"Gentleman from Cook, Representative Terzich, to explain your vote."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, to say that this is not raping the pension system is just as funny as a statement that could be made anywhere today; that over the last three years we've come to the tune of close to 600 million dollars that has been shortchanging the pension system, and that's just the State Pension System. And to come up and say that it doesn't affect at their meeting pay outs, there's not pay outs being met. If the State Board of Investments lost 600 million dollars, Jesus Christ would come down here and strike them with a 49  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 bolt of lightening, let alone the General Assembly. So don't say it's short - the fact that you're shortchanging the pension systems by 600 million dollars doesn't mean anything. Our pensioners are concerned about their benefits. They're concerned about their fund, and they're concerned about the performance. The mere fact that the system went and had a good year on their investments doesn't mean it belongs to the state. It also belongs to the pensioners, and we should also... We should reduce their contribution in the same manner that the state is reducing their contribution into the pension system. And if the state wants to assume the responsibility, then let them pick up all the cost, but don't say... At least you could say thank you to the pensioners to help finance State Government. That's the least you can do, Representative Reilly. And I vote "no"."

"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Clerk will take the record. On this Bill there are 61 'ayes', 47 'nos', none voting 'present', and Senate Bill 177, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed.

"Representative Bowman, why do you want to have a special rule for your Bills? Why can't they go through the Committee process like every other Bill?"

Third Nelson: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. House Bill 266 has to do with the protection of property values. What it does is amend the Environmental Protection Act to prohibit the emission of odors from any regional pollution control facility in quantities sufficient to be detected by persons of normal sensitivity for a continuous period equal to or exceeding two hours, which would interfere with a per... such person's enjoyment of life or property. The second point I'd like to make is that it only refers to facilities that are in areas zoned primarily for residential use; and, thirdly, that this is not a radical change in the law. Under present law, odor is defined as a contaminant; and, under present law, it is illegal to discharge a contaminant into the air. I'd be glad to answer any questions that you have about House Bill 266."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Leverenz."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, to the Bill. House Bill 266 is a Bill that sounds good. Somedays it doesn't even smell good. I have discussed the Bill with constituents of mine and people in the adjacent Legislative District, specifically, people that are interested in curing the problem of the Hillside landfill. The fact is, House Bill 266 could effectively shut down every landfill in the state. The people in Hillside understand that they have no desire to have an impact on the entire state simply ask that they get some relief for their problem in Hillside for them, for me. If you cannot vote 'no', vote 'present'." 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 31st Legislative Day

"Representative Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield? Yes, as I understand it, the Environmental... Illinois Environmental Protection Act right now defines odor as... is considered to be an air contaminant."

"That is correct. I said that in my opening statement."

"And the Pollution Control Board has adopted regulations covering those standards. Now, how would..."

"That's right."

"... those standards that the Pollution Control Board has adopted. How would they compare with your broad definition as indicated in Amendment #1? You... You define..."

"Under present law, the Pollution Control Board has the power to adopt or modify or change standards. They would be able, under my Bill, to do the same thing. I do not think that it's so loosely defined. What it says that, 'emissions of offensive odorous air contaminants'."

"Well, what... what... Could you further define your legislative intent, at least what offensive odorous air contaminants are? I mean, if it smells, you want to shut it down."

"It's not quite that simple, Representative Cullerton. In other states, there are restrictions on the emission of odor into the air; and, in those other states, there are regulations that are written SO as to define different types of odor and different intensities of odor. Sometimes that judgement is made with an instrument. There is such a thing as a 'sentometer' that can make a determination of the intensity of an odor, and in some states there are persons who are trained observers, so to speak, who make that judgement."

"But your Bill says, 'detectable by persons of normal 55  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 Nelson: sensitivity, and you don't indicate in your Bill what those standards might be. You just say "offensive. That's all the Bill says." "That's right."

"So, you want it to be very, very broad so that if it Nelson: smells, it shuts down." "I do not want to shut down every landfill in the state. What I would like to do is ensure that when a pollution control facility is within an area zoned 'residential', those people who live in that area have their property values protected."

"So, if it... If it smells, a good question is raised. If it smells nice like perfume, then there wouldn't be any problem. There would only be 'offensive'. Right?"

"Right."

"By a person of normal sensitivity."

"Say you lived next door to a bakery. That doesn't smell bad. It's not going to affect your property values."

"Chocolate factory."

"Chocolate factory, whatever."

"Now, of course, would you have to take a vote to determine whether it was sensi... whether it was approved by a person of... whether it was offensive to one and not offensive to another? How would that work? In other words, how is this enforced?"

"That's a judgement call, of course."

"Who... who..."

"And it is enforced through the rules and regulations that are promulgated by the Pollution Control Board and the Agency, which of course is the Environmental Protection Agency."

Would this affect things like a refinery that refines oil? Is that a foul odor? Is that a good odor? I kind of like the smell of oil or money, but how would you define this?"

"Representative Dunn, it does not refer to oil refineries or industries such as that. What it does refer to specifically are regional pollution control facilities."

"Which is a landfill. Is that what it is?"

"Yes. Under Senate Bill... Excuse me. Under House Bill... or Public Act 82-0682, regional pollution control facility is any waste storage site, sanitary landfill, waste disposal site, waste transfer station or waste incinerator."

"The industries use those facilities to get rid of their waste from their plants, and then it becomes part of this Bill. Wouldn't it? If the industry were to take their waste material out to a landfill and it had any odor at all, then that would put them out of business. Is that not right? That's what worries me about the Bill."

"I suppose that if an industry has a waste disposal site on their property, yes, then it would. And it would have to be in an area zoned 'residential'. What I do not understand is, you know, how it would be very likely that an industry would be that close to an area zoned primarily residential."

"Residential wouldn't mean farmland where there are farm houses in the area. That wouldn't be classed as 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENEBAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 residential, if a farmer smelled an odor from a landfill."

"NO. No. I worked with the Farm Bureau on exactly that point, and feed lots, for instance, are not included in this Bill."

"Thank you. And if I may, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to address the Bill briefly. I would urge that we use caution in passing this Bill till it's further defined or till we get word from our manufacturing people that it's not going to bother them. I'm concerned about the fact that it may put... We have a bad business climate in Illinois now, and this шау make it smell worse than it really is and it has been. So, I'd urge a 'no vote."

"Representative Marzuki."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would urge you to support this Bill. It is very limited in its application, and I belive that there are enough safeguards SO that it is not going to close down every landfill in the State of Illinois. Most certainly, some landfills would qualify for this closure. It at least gives homeowners an opportunity to live in some kind of peace and to have their property be worth something. Therefore, I would urge support of this Bill."

"Any further discussion? ... recognizes the Sponsor, Mrs. Nelson, to close."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I believe that House Bill 266 is a reasonable attempt on my part to deal with a problem that was in part of my old district that does have application statewide, but is one that property owners statewide care about. And I would urge an aye vote. Thank you."

"The question is, Shall House Bill 266 pass?'. All in favor say aye, opposed 'nay". Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Clerk, take the 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 Roll. Mr. Clerk, there's an error. Let's dump that Roll Call and take another Roll Call. There's an error up here. All in favor say 'aye', opposed 'nay'. All in favor vote 'aye', those voting 'no' vote 'nay'. Have all voted who wish? Clerk, take the call. No error on this one. On this question there are 15 'ayes', 51 'nos', 44 'present' and 13 voting 'absent'. This Bill, not getting the Constitutional Majority, has failed. Add ten 'ayes'. House Bill 300. Berrios in the chair? I don't see him. Take it out of the record. He's out of the record. House Bill 319, Representative Jaffe. Myron Kulas, what purpose do you rise?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On a point of inquiry, some of the mushrooms here have been getting restless, and they'd like to know what the schedule is for the rest of the day."

"At the present time, I can't tell you... answer that question. I'll ask the Speaker and advise you at a later time. Thank you. Representative Jaffe."

"Mr. Speaker, with reference to House Bill 319. This Bill has been debated a number of times on the floor, and I think everybody understands it at the present time. There has been no industry that has been harder hit... hit harder in the State of Illinois than has the garment industry. At the present time, factories are closing and unemployment in that industry stands at about 35%, and the reasons for those industries being hit hard are basically two reasons: One, foreign imports, and the second..."

"Representative Jaffe, can I interrupt you and have the Clerk read the Bill first? Thank you."

"House Bill 319, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of an Act to revise the law relating to industrial home work. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Continue, Representative Jaffe." 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983

"And the reasons that this industry has been so hit hard is, number one, because of foreign imports, and secondly, because of illegal sweatshops or illegal home work. And at the present time, legitimate businesses in this state cannot compete, because they do not pay taxes, or they do not pay the minimum vage, and they do not comply with health standards. Illegal operators prey on helpless people, and they put good businesses out of... out of... out of business. I would say to you that there has been a lot of misunderstanding with reference to who this Bill applies to and who it doesn't apply to. Let me say to you that, first of all, it does not apply to individuals who sell their goods to stores. Secondly, it doesn't apply to people who are employed doing types of work like taylors who are working at home for other individuals. It doesn't apply to handicapped workers. It doesn't apply to repair work and alterations, and it does not apply to producer cooperatives. I think there have been a lot of speeches, arguments raised to this Bill, and I think that if you look at who it does not apply to, you'll see most of the legitimate operators are taken care of. Amendment #4 contains the language that was asked for - it vas 14 - contains the language that was asked for. It was asked for by the Illinois Retail Merchants. We put that language on. Representative Hastert asked for some language. We put that on. Representative Bowman asked for some language. We put that on. Representative Younge asked for some language. We put that down. And Representative Taylor asked for some language, and we put that on. I think the Bill, at the present time, is really in excellent shape. If you're against it on the basis of philosophy, that's one thing, but I think that if you look at the people that are exempted, you really have no reason to vote against this 60  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 particular Bill. And it is not a labor Bill. It is... I must tell you it is a business Bill. And let me tell you some of the businesses that are supporting this Bill. "Al Kleinan Company Manufacturing Company", Wilson Garment Company, Clevermade Uniform Company', ... Manufacturing Company', 'Borris... on Johnny Manufacturing Company. All these companies have sent out letters endorsing this concept. It's a good Bill, Mr. Speaker, and I would urge an affirmative vote."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Birkinbine."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield for a question?"

"Sponsor yield?"

"Yeah."

"Says he will."

"Mr. Jaffe, how do you define sweatshops? You keep saying this Bill deals with sweatshops. Do you have a definition?"

"Well, I think that you'll find that sweatshops are places where illegal operators - if you're talking about, is it defined in the Bill?"

"I'm sorry."

"Are you talking about is it defined in the Bill? Is that what you're asking, or do you want to know what a sweatshop is?"

"I'm asking you if you have a definition of what constitutes a sweatshop?"

"Oh. There is no sweatshop definition in the Bill; however, a sweatshop is really an illegal operator that, basically, dumps his products on an individual who then is hired as an employee, but this individual does not work under conditions which are safe or sanitary. They work for 61  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 under the minimum wage, and they don't comply with any of the laws of the State of Illinois."

"So, you're just trying to stop the illegal operation."

"What we're trying to do is we're trying to stop illegal home work. That's correct, Sir."

"Okay. I understand that. A year ago you put in a Resolution asking the Department of Labor to do a study on the sweatshop problem in Illinois. Do you remember that?"

"I certainly do remember it, and the Department of Labor hasn't done it. That's one of the reasons that we're..."

"I beg to differ with you."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"On April 1st, they put out their report."

"Yeah."

"Have you had a chance to look at this report that you requested?"

"They have not sent it to me. I will tell you that they have not sent it to me."

"Well, let me fill you in a bit on this report. They made 1140 total inspections looking into the sweatshop problem in... specifically in the garment industry. They found that there was a grand total of 1.15 of violations out of 1140 inspections made."

"Okay. Now, let me say to you that what you're quoting is sweatshops, and it's not home work."

"That is, I'm sorry, that is under the category of Industrial Home Work Law. They break down the violations they cited. There were 20 violations in the Six-Day Week Law. There were 57 violations of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, and 13 violations of the Industrial Home Work Law. Thirteen violations out of a 1140 inspections made. That works out to 1.1%." 62  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983

"Well, as you know, the Department of Labor has a tiny staff, and one of the problems that we have had is that we feel that the Department of Labor has not really adequately enforced the laws that we have on the book."

"But if..."

"Let me just finish in answering your question. If you'll recall in the last Session of the Legislature, I also put in a Bill that also gave them more people to be employed doing the investigation. I don't know if they've ever hired those people. Do you know if they have?"

"I would say if you're not going to pay any attention to the results of the report, I guess we could wonder why you requested it at all."

"Well, I" asking you a question. I mean, you're taking part of it. I want you to take all of it."

"I'm sorry. You asked me a question?"

"Well, evidently, you're not listening to the answeг. So, it doesn't make any difference."

"You say that what you're looking for is putting illegal workers out of work, but your Bill doesn't say that. It says that anyone doing garment work at home. Have you checked with your seatmate, perhaps? I know that Mr. Pierce has, in his district, a woman who manufactures small garments and sells in shops, and she employees 14 different women who work in their homes at their own time, in their own places. And this, again, is in Highland Park. I don't think you'll find too many sweatshops there."

"Are they licensed, Sir?"

"Yes they are, and that is a legal operation. And you would prohibit that."

"I don't know anything about that particular operation."

"Your Bill would prohibit that."

"I know nothing about that operation." 63  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983

"Mr. Jaffe, are you familiar with the court case of 'Figura versus Cummings'?"

"No, I am not, Sir."

"Well, there was something added to this Home Work Law that would prohibit people from processing springs, metal springs, in their home. The court ruled that the valid purpose of the Industrial Home Work Act was to protect people from work in their home that was inherently dangerous. They found that the processing of springs was not, in itself, dangerous. Do you think the manufacturer of clothing?"

"Oh, absolutely, and I can give you study after study with regard to that."

"Singer..."

"Well, wait a second if you want to talk about. There are fibers that people breath as a result of clothing workers; and, if you look at the clothing worker industry, you'll find that breathing fibers and doing all that stuff is, indeed, hazardous."

"I'm sure Singer Sewing Company would be facinated to hear that statement. Mr. Speaker, if I could address the Bill."

"Continue."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we've been told that what we're out after here are those nasty sweatshops. We've been told this isn't a labor Bill. It's funny. I keep getting a lot of mail from the AFofL-CIO and the International Ladies Garment Workers' Union pushing this Bill. Indeed, it is really nothing but an organizing Bill. As a matter of fact, the Illinois Department of Labor, in looking over this Bill, has said that amending this law has no effect on sweatshops. Indeed, it said the reality of the Bill is that the people who work in their own homes are 64  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 not easily organized. The Department of Labor certainly saw through this Bill. Here we have a Sponsor of a Bill who professes concern about illegal sweatshop operations in the state. He asked the Department of Labor to do a study. The study came out two weeks ago. The study found concentrating on garment industry in the homes and looking at the Industrial Home Work Law, that there was a grand total of violations of 1.1%. That is hardly a problem, as far as putting a Bill like this in effect that would throw legal workers out of work, people who wish to work in their home, who set their own times, who are satisfied with the wages they get. You know what this Bill is for and why it was put in. Lastly, I would say, with regard to some of you folks from downstate areas where the Farm Bureau is very active, you might be interested in knowing that the American Farm Bureau Federation has taken a strong stand in opposition to Bills like this, in fact, in favor of industrial home work law encouraging cottage industries and the right of people to be able to work in their home. The Illinois Farm Bureau is going to take this up at their next session. They frequently follow the stance of the American Farm Bureau Federation. This is not a good Bill. It's designed for one special group of people; and, as the court case I referred to showed, it is not following the intent of this law which is designed to protect people from inherently dangerous siutations in their home. I recommend a 'no vote."

"Representative Zwick."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. There's not a whole lot I can say after John just covered that subject just so thoroughly. However, as much as I agree with him on the points that he made, I also look at it from a little bit different view point. I admit that 65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 Representative Jaffe has tried very hard to address the issue that is of such great concern to us, to those of us who have raised objections to this Bill, but the problem is that there is really no way to... to separate, with legal language, the difference between those that are farming work out to people in their homes and those that are willingly working in their homes to create a living for themselves, to stay home with their children, to sew their goods on an individual basis or on a contractual basis. I have had lengthy conversations and studied some of the Amendments that Representative Jaffe's put on with the President of the National Association of Cottage Industry Workers who is in violent opposition to this Bill. Their feeling is also that, even if this Bill is enacted, they are not going to stop working in their homes. They feel so strongly about this. This is a growing viable industry in this state creating jobs for those women who are unable to go out into a factory setting and earn a living. They want to stay home. They can't afford to pay for day care and go into a factory and work, and they desire to stay home. And they're not going to stop doing what they do. So what you are going to do by passage of this Bill is make those women criminals. You are going to force someone to take them to court, which is going to be a very unfortunate situation, and I don't think that these people who are working in their homes deserve that kind of treatment. Many other states are passing laws today that encourage work in the home, that encourage the growth of the cottage industry - states like California, Oregon, states which have a great amount of foresight, traditionally, as to where economic development is going, and this isn't in a 'grow part of our redevelopment of this state as far as the economy is concerned. I would urge your to oppose this Bill. I am 66  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 going to oppose it. I wish there were some way, within the framework of this Bill, to solve Representative Jaffe's problem; but, at this point, I just don't see it, and I have to still oppose the Bill. And I would urge you to do the same. Thank you."

"Representative O'Connell."

"Mr. Speaker, I'd just move the previous question."

"Question is the previous question. All in favor say 'aye', opposed. Ayes have it. Representative Jaffe to close."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I think the speakers beforehand just missed one point and that is that, under this Bill, those little old ladies that are working are not going to be liable. It's only the employers, and they understand that very well. But they want to muddy the waters. Only employers are liable under this Bill. That's in Amendment 14. And if they read that Amendment, they would find that out. With regard to what Representative Birkinbine said about that small percentage, he himself lists about a hundred, about a hundred is that correct, Representative Birkinbine violations of the Act at the present time. If you look at the... at the fiscal statement that we have filed, you'll find that all these millions of women are working in the State of Illinois, yet only 70 have applied for permits. Then all the rest of them are in violation of work in... under our statutes at the present time. I say to you again that it's putting people out of work in factories. I have a long list of factories that support this. If you think that it's only a labor Bill, you're totally mistaken, and I can give you that list. And many of you have that list, and I would urge an 'aye vote on this Bill."

"Alright. The question is then, 'Shall House 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 Bill 319 pass?'. All in favor vote 'aye', all opposed ⚫nay. Gentleman from DuPage, Representative Hoffman, to explain his vote. Is there any further explanation of vote? Have you all voted? All who wish voted? Clerk, take the record. On this question there are 63 'ayes', 38 'nays', 3 voting 'present". This Bill, receiving the Constitutional Bajority, is hereby declared passed. Representative Alexander."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise on a point of personal privilege. On the Democratic side in the gallery are the eighth-grade students from the Juliette G. Low School. They... from Representative James Taylor's district, the 31st, and were former members of my district, the old 26. Welcome to Springfield."

"Representative Kulas, I've been informed that we will proceed through Third Reading to approximately 4:00."

"Thank you."

"House Bill 331, Representative Mautino. Clerk, explain the Bill."

"House Bill 331, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of the Illinois Housing Development Act. Third Reading of the Bill1."

"Representative Mautino."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 331, is exactly as presented in your analysis. It authorize... It authorizes, but does not mandate that the Illinois Housing Development Authority invest surplus funds into what are known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly referred to as Freddie Max. We believe that this will aid the Illinois home building industry. It came out of the Committee, I believe, 15 to nothing. There was no 68  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 That's basically what it does it authorize, opposition. but not mandate."

"Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, the question is, 'Shall House Bill 331 pass?". All in favor vote 'aye', all opposed "nay". Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. 332 does exactly what 331 did for the State Treasurer under the State Monies Act.

It also came out 15 to nothing, and there was no seek your opposition to it. affirmative vote." And I respectfully

House Bill 337, Representative Friedrich."

"House Bill 337, a Bill for an Act to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, this Bill, for 69  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 some reason or other, got a lot of attention from the media and some attention from the Secretary of State. My only response to that, to the media, I wish they would stay with reporting the news instead of trying to making news and legislate. And as far as the Secretary of State's concerned, I think it's his job to carry out the laws that we pass and not be lobbying on this floor, as they've been doing in the past. Actually, I don't have a personal interest in this Bill, because the only ticket I ever had was for running 30 miles in a 25 mile zone. And that was one of these little towns around Springfield here. So, it hasn't affected me one way or another. But it was called to my attention that the situation we have now is not fair. I think most people in this state and this country want to obey the laws, but they expect them to be fair and relate to everybody alike. And it was called to my attention that if you're a truck driver, you can have five tickets. If you're a traveling salesman, or one of you, or some little girl try to get to work or anyone else, you get three tickets. Now, I know there are people who say, "Well, what are you worried about? You can get supervision from the Judge. You'll never lose your license anyway.' Well, that may be true in some areas, but down our way, when you get that third ticket, you start walking. The other thing I want to point out, it has been suggested by the press and some other people, "Well, what are you worried about? Because, you can get a restricted license. You can get a limited license, or a provisional license or a probationary license and so on.' I don't know if you've tried that or not, but a month ago the Secretary of State, after a guy had lost his license for a year, the license was approved. I was told yesterday, finally, they mailed it out. So, it isn't that simple. And I don't know if 70  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 you've gone through that or not. You've got to go to hearings and everything else. What I would like to point out, again, because this thing has been misrepresented by the media and some other people, I'll tell you what this Bill does not do. It does not change the law with regard to D.U.I. It does not change the law with regard to wreckless homicide. It does not change the law with regard to an accident where there's personal injury involved, but it could be failure to make... put a turn light on or any of those simple things that... that maybe you don't even think about. And somehow there seems to be a rash of it. You get one ticket, and then all at once, for no reason at all, particularly if you're in some areas where the town in dependent on their fines, that you immediately get a couple more. And I can tell you that losing your license is a pretty serious business, because the people of this state and of this country now are almost dependent on their transportation. The thing that bothers me a little bit again, with regard to fairness, in the last two years I have seen one semi pulled over. I have seen countless numbers of people who appeared to me to be innocent people who were just trying to get somewhere be pulled over and given an ticket. Well, I talked to a state policeman about that the other night when they had their troopers deal over here, and he said, 'I'll tell you why". He said, 'Every truck now is equipped with a fuzz buster, and they can smell us two miles away'. And they also have their... their radio set up where they have this system where it's almost impossible. Now, I'm not... this is not a war against truck drivers, because that's the problem that somebody else has to solve. But I say to you that it's just as important for a person that's trying to get to work, who depends on that car, to have that five tickets as 71  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 the other one. So, I... this Bill, my only interest is at all - I think, if we're going to have laws on the books of this state, they ought to be fair to everybody and deal with everybody alike. That's my only interest in it. I'd just appreciate your support. If you think that they ought to have two sets of standards in this state, then you can vote 'no', and it won't make any difference to me one way or another. I have not attempted to take a Roll Call on this. I can tell you the Secretary of State's Office have. They've worked this House with two people. I have not even solicited your vote. I'm doing it now if you think that law should be fair."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Matijevich."

"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I think passage of House Bill 337 would be a step backwards in traffic safety. Anybody who's dealt with a traffic law enforcement readily realizes that you can often see a pattern when people get numbers of moving violation tickets. And to allow five moving violations within that short time, I think, would do nothing, at this time, when there is great concern for the number of accidents that we are having. Many of them, yes, by drunken drivers, but many of the, yes, by those who are driving wrecklessly and getting too many moving violations. This is a tool for traffic enforcement. It is a tool for traffic safety. And to now to be that liberal, I think, would be definitely a horrible step backwards, and I would urge the Members to oppose House Bill 337."

"Representative Sam Wolf."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. With all due respect - thank you, Van Duyne. With all due respect to the Sponsor, I rise in opposition to this Bill. I think 72  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 it flies in the face of all of the legislation that we have pursued in the Motor Vehicle Laws Commission. It certainly has the incentive to discourage safe driving on the highways. Of the some seven million drivers in 1981, only one-half of one percent had their licenses suspended and, in 1982, less percentage than that. All of us know in this House that any person who receives two violations takes a special care at that point not to get the third. It would seem to me that with a law of this kind, those same people are going to wait until they get that fourth violation and then start being careful. I would certainly urge a 'no' vote."

"Representative Giorgi."

"Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask Representative Friedrich a question. Representative Friedrich, I don't understand the synopsis on the loss. Where... Did you accept this from the fiscal impact statement?"

"I certainly do not. If I... I think it's like letting the cat in with the canary. When you let the people who are over here lobbying against this draw the fiscal analysis, and anybody can look at that. Any eighth-grade kid could tell that that's not a fair analysis on the fiscal impact."

"Mr. Speaker, I'm going to support Representative Friedrich on this Bill for many and varied reasons. It seems that this has nothing to do with the drunken under... or driving under the influence or drunken driving or... that the nation's concerned about, but this does... The reason for a Bill like this, I think, is because the driver's license has now become a valuable passport, and the indifference indicated by the Secretary of State's Office in granting hardship permits, in point system, for example. If you ran around a barricade, that's your third 73  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 offense. You lose your license. If you turned left in a right-turn lane. It's your third offense. You lose a license. Now you've got... Everyone admits that there are quotas all over the state. State troopers are stopping everyone. City police are stopping everyone on any slight provocation. The insurance companies are reaping a tremendous profit because of the reporting system of the Secretary of State. These.... Doesn't realize how difficult it is for people to get around the state that don't have a driver's license. I think this is a good Bill to send a message to the Secretary of State, in that we don't approve of this office administering the restricted driving permit as he does it. And we've done something else to ourself. We've allowed the Secretary of State to become the judge, the jury, the rehabilitation officer on driver's licenses. He's even denying restricted driving permits when the... when the citizen proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he'd be a safe driver on the road, taking defense and driving courses, paying twice the amount for his insurance. I think this is a good Bill to pass to warn and tell the Secretary of State we won't tolerate his... his arbitrary issuances of restricted driving permits, especially in these hard economic times where, if you go present yourself for a job to any trucking firm or to any firm that uses a vehicle in their business, you're not granted a job if you only have one driving infraction. I think this is a very good Bill. I commend Friedrich for introducing it."

"Representative John Dunn."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I, too, rise in support of Mr. Friedrich's legislation. At the present time, we make, as previous speakers have indicated, only patchwork discrimination 74  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEВАТЕ 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 between serious and nonserious offenses. If someone is convicted of D.U.I. at the present time, that results in an automatic revocation of driving privileges for a minimum of one year. We have other offenses for which driving privileges can be revoked; but, when you get down into the category of less serious offenses, we make no distinction between someone who goes 35 miles an hour in a 30-mile-an-hour speed zone and someone who goes 55 in a 30-mile-an-hour speed zone. And I think what Mr. Friedrich is saying is that those of us who drive - and that includes all of us - and those of us who drive to work - and that includes all of us, and those of us who have to have a car are all exposed and succeptible to getting in the car someday when there's a tail light out, when we forget to signal a left turn, when we fail to... when we fail to yield at an intersection, when we don't stop quite long enough for a stop sign, when we get in the intersection when we think it's green, but it turns yellow right away and a police officer disagrees with us and gives us a ticket. In other words, there are lots and lots of violations contained in Chapter 95 1/2 of the Motor Vehicle Code for which there is a good purpose and for the violation of which, when no one is injured, there is not a really serious matter involved. What we should do, at the present time, is adopt Mr. Friedrich's Bill and put the average motorist in a position where, if he or she gets four tickets in one year instead of two with the minimum ticket price being 50 dollars, that's 200 dollars if you get four tickets, paid to the county in which the offense if committed. It's revenue to that county. That's a serious felony to anyone in my family, to consider the thought of paying an absolute minimum of 200 dollars. And you and I both know that the second or third offense that 75  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 the Judge became aware of, the price of the ticket would be higher. The dollar amount of the fine would be very, very significant, and yet no one will be put to the... the excessive burden of having their license suspended so they can't get to work for going 35 miles an hour in a 30-mile-an-hour speed zone three times. We should be more liberal; and, as other speakers have pointed out, in extending the current violation Section from three to five has nothing to do with drunk driving, wreckless driving. Those serious offense can be taken care of under the present... present laws that are on the books. When times are tough, we talk a lot about business climate in Illinois. Well, I don't know anyone who... who either is an employer or an employee who walks to work. There are a few, but not very darn many. All of us have to drive to get to work; and, if we don't have a car, we can't work, and we can't do our job. When unemployment is high and where I come from we're, again, in the top 10 in the nation in unemployment - the few people who are working certainly don't need to have, in addition to the other burdens they have placed upon themselves and their family, to worry about losing their driver's license because they went four miles, or five miles, or six miles over the speed limit three times in one year. Let's adopt Representative Friedrich's Bill. It's a good Bill. It's one that may, possibly, be misinterpreted, but you're sent here to exercise leadership and judgement. He has a good Bill. Let's vote for it and support it."

"Representative Brummer."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"I will. Yes."

"Representative, it's been my observation that the... Apparently, through some policy decision of the Secretary 76  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 of State's Office, they have been issuing very few restricted driver's license during the last six months or twelve months. I'm not sure of the period of time. Do you have any statistics about the number of restricted driver's license issued in relationship to the number applied?"

"I do not, but I can tell you it is not automatic like some people would have you believe. You go through a lot of red tape and then it... and the delay in the paperwork as I told you - it took a month to get this last one, even after it was approved."

"Well, I thought I had seen some statistic that indicated something like 30 or 40 had been approved out of 3000..."

"Representative Tate, please. Oh, excuse me. Brummer was cut off. Representative Brummer."

"I seem to vaguely recall some statistics that I had read in a newspaper some time ago about 30, or 40, or 50 - some very small number that was issued out of, I think, three or four thousand applicants. I know of a number of constituents who had had good driving record, bad had their license suspended or revoked for various reasons. They were older individuals. They had had a prior good driving record for years and years and needed their license to go to work, had been recommended by the local Judge, in the ticket process, that a restricted driving permit be given and have, nevertheless, been denied. And I think, because of the hardship that we are creating on people in not giving restricted driving license, I think it is absolutely imperative that we raise the number of convictions of moving violations necessary in order to protect peoples' ability to go to work and maintain employment, without creating undue inconvenience. So, I would suggest an 'aye' vote on this." 77  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 31st Legislative Day

"Representative Tate."

"Yeah, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I rise in favor of Representative Friedrich's efforts here today. Representative Ronan and myself have... will be offering a Bill later in this Session which will deal with the same type of subject matter in a different way with habitual traffic offenders. And for those of you that are concerned about the welfare and safety of drivers on the streets, this Bill will address the dangerous drivers, the drunk drivers, the wreckless drivers. Representative Johnson will be offering an Amendment to raise the speeding limit for that offense. But to this Bill and why this is so important, as several of the other speakers have mentioned, that there's many people like if you're a teamster, or you're a salesman, a traveling salesman, your livelihood depends on this issue. And just because I don't say... think that you're an irresponsible driver if you're ticketed for going 61 miles an hour, or you stop and go, or occasion like this. And when you're talking about someone's livelihood, this is an area that I think we can allow for latitude and flexibility. We will, in this Session, address the issue of serious, irresponsible drivers on the roads, and I encourage an 'aye' vote for this Bill. Thank you."

"Representative Ropp."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I'd just like to ask you one question. What is the value of your life, your spouse's life, or any of your children's life, or anyone elses life in this state? The State of Illinois has one of the finest records, in terms of reducing traffic fatalities in the country. We are reducing fatalities in access of 200 per year over the last three years. This is a fantastic figure and a tremendous accomplishment that the 78  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 enforcement authorities have been able to give the State of Illinois, as vell as the Legislator and legislation that they have passed. And I think, when we've got such an excellent program going on, it is imperative that we not try to ease up, and to permit further additional violations before major consideration is given about withdrawing one's drive's license. There is talk in the hopper, that we are about to get rid of the mandate..."

"Representative... Representative Ropp, would you hold your..."

"Yes, Sir."

"... for a moment?"

"Could we interrupt proceedings, for just a second? Senator... Senator Vinson. I'm sorry, Mr. Vinson."

"Yes, I think that just after you do what you're about to do, ve ought to proceed with Representative DiPrima's Resolution, on peace through strength."

"On what? Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we have a... an honored guest on the House floor, today, that we'd like to introduce, the distinguished Senator from California, Senator Allen Cranson."

"Thank you for granting me the privilege of simply saying, 'Hello', to you. I'm delighted to be in Illinois, delighted to be in Springfield, delighted to see you doing your work, and I will not intrude upon your deliberations, but thank you for this opportunity to say, 'Hello'. Thank you."

"Representative Ropp, continue."

"Thank you very much. It's a, I'd say a pleasure, I suppose, to be interrupted by a U.S. Senator, and from one of the great State of California, and welcome back anytime. I might even need your support in opposing this Bill, if you'd like to stick around. I would just... further..." 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSENBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day Speaker Capparelli: to April 15, 1983 Representative Ropp. "Just one moment, Anyone who'd wish say, 'Hello', to Senator Cranson, we'll be in McPike's Office. Continue."

"Very briefly, there is legislation, in the hopper, to take away the state mandate for driver's education, which is the... not necessarily here nor there on this particular issue. What we're... we may be offering is a greater opportunity for inexperienced people to get involved with using that machine, that we call an automobile, which is in fact kind of a deadly weapon, and I would urge that you take real consideration before you support this Bill, when in fact we've made such great strides in the last 3 years reduce traffic fatalities. It could be your life. It could be a friend of yours, or a neighbor. The value is really extremely high, and the consideration to opening up, to or releasing, or expanding these tickets is something, I think, we ought not to do. I urge you to vote red."

"Are there any further questions? If not, the Representative Friedrich, to close."

"Well, in closing, Repre... Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, there have, again, been some suggestions here which I don't think are quite accurate. If you're involved in an accident, where there's personal injury, you lose your license, that... that goes right with it, an... and it has nothing to do with this one way or another. You could have one ticket or two ticket, or your first ticket or whatever. I will tell you this, there's another deterrent, and that is this. The judge has the right to impose heavier fines. It's automatically 50 bucks, but there's nothing to keep him from fining you $100.00 if you're going 60 miles in 30 mile zone, so that I can tell you the fine, alone, is a deterant. I would also like to point out to you, that there are some towns, which are very dependent on 80  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 their traffic tickets, and I will tell you quite frankly, that's one of their best sources of revenue. I happen to have one in my district, and they are delighted to catch you going 2 miles over the limit, so they can get a... get a little more revenue for the town, so that... people are trapped into innocent situations. I'm talking about good, honest, hardworking people, who need that car. Now this Bill is, again, I just point out, is introduced in the interest of fairness, and even with 5 tickets, compared to the truck drivers' 5, it is still not fair, because they have their netwo... work of information, their fuzzbusters, and their radios, and they never get caught. So I think that, again, I would point out to you that the laws of this state ought to be fair to everybody. I'm just saying that 5 is all right for truck drivers, it certainly ought to be right for a travelling salesman. And the number of accidents in this state have been reduced. They've been reduced partly because the speed limit is lower. They've been reduced partly because there's fewer cars on the road. I think any... anybody that knows that, they want to throw in one statistic but not all of them, so I think partial, half the truth sometime is worth... worse than no truth at all. If you're going to quote statistics, you better quote them all. So if you want to be fair, this is a fair Bill, and will be fair to every driver in this state alike, and I urge your 'aye vote."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 337 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'nay'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Clerk, take the record. On this question, there are 35 'yes', 69 'no', and 2 voting 'present'. This Bill, not receiving the Constitutional Majority, is here declared not passed. Failed. I'm sorry. House Bill 349. O'Connell. 81  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 Representative O'Connell. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 349, a Bill for an Act to permit officers and full-time employees of corporations to represent such corporations in small claims court. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Representative O'Connell."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Bill 349 is an attempt to address a problem, that currently exists with all corporations, who are faced with small claims. And when I say small claims, I'm referring to money damages that account for less then $2,500. Presently, the cost of attorneys is often exceeded or equal to the amount of the small claim; therefore, the result is that many corporations are waiving legitimate claims that they have to collect debts. The present state of the law is such that, individuals do not have to be represented by attorneys, however, corporations do. We are presenting this Bill, very mindful of the Separation of Powers Doctrine, and... and would not try to impede upon the constitutional domain of the judiciary; however, there are several statutory provisions, which amount to prohibitions in this... on this issue. We are... are, therefore, proposing this legislation to eliminate those statutory prohibitions, and as an expression of intent, to the judiciary that there is a major problem that exists in this area, and that they should consider in their Supreme Court rules. I'll be happy to answer any questions."

"Is there any discussion? Representative McCracken."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of Representative O'Connell's Bill. I think it's a Bill, which is long overdue, and is the first step toward restoring the intent of the legislature in initially 82  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 passing the Small Claims Act. We want to encourage and facilitate, quick, prompt settlement, by a judge, between litigants in a small claims action. The way to do that is to allow them to appear per se, to make sure each of them appears per se, so neither one has an advantage over the other. The judge will see that justice is done on the amount, and will make sure that the parties are treated fairly. As the law currently stands, the spirit of the Small Claims Act is thwarted, because corporations, which make up a large proportion of litigants, in these types of matters, are unable to come into court on their own, and defend. They are forced to hav... retain attorneys for that purpose, and the result is that it is the plaintiff, commonly, the litigant, the little guy, who is at an unfair footing. We want to return justice to the little guy. We want to return justice to the small claimant. We want to facilitate the prompt resolution of these claims. I am in favor of Representative O'Connell's Bill. I urge your support."

"Any further discussion? Representative Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He says he will."

"Representative O'... O'Connell, what type of people would this Bill authorize to represent the corporation, in the small claims court?"

"Well, the... the st... the legislation does not address itself to any type of person, other than a full-time employee of the corporation. Now, what follows is perhaps an argument that anyone, including the janitor, could then represent the corporation. Well, in response to... I'm anticipating a question, I'm sorry."

"Well, you agree then, that a janitor could represent 83  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day the corporation in small claims court."

"That's true." April 15, 1983

"Okay. Is that the... what you intend to do with the Bill?"

"What... what I intend to do with the Bill is to allow the corporation to make that decision as to who it will have represent itself. In many instances, the janitor happens to be the owner of a small store, or a small company, who indeed, would be the one to represent itself, in a small claims court."

"So the... the purpose of this Bill is just to help the little guy out, so that instead of having to go up against a big corporation lawyer, he can go up against a janitor. So that's the purpose of this Bill, to help the little guy out, so that he doesn't have to fight any big corporate lawyer. Is that right?"

"Well, the... the little guy, and the big guy, anyone who is a qualified as a corporation in this state would be considered under this Bill."

"Well, what's... what's happening now? Are the corporations going into court, or are they just letting a judgment be entered against them?"

"Well, often if the jud... if the mon... if the claim for money damages is such that it would cost more to have an attorney go in, they are waiving the opportunity to go in and prosecute the claim."

"Well, can't... can't a court issue an order, requiring the plantiff to pay the cost of the defense if the... if they're not bringing a valid cause of action?"

"I don't believe that, there in a small claims court, that there is any provisions for attorneys' fees."

"Well, can't the court, on its own order..."

"I don't... I'm sorry, but I don't believe unless 84  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 there's any punitive, or willful failure on the part of the plaintiff, to proceed properly that there's any provision for a... a judge to award attorneys' fees, and I think you're referring to the defendant, Mr. Cullerton."

"Well, doesn't this authorize non-lawyers to practice law?"

"No. No. We are very... I'm trying to be very explicit. We are not... not engaging in any interference with the judicial branch of the government. There are several statutory prohibitions, and we are simply expressing a... an elimination of those statutory prohibitions. The right to practice law is founded in the jud... judiciary, and we are not attempting to tell them what to do. We are simply expressing our intent for those statutory prohibitions that allow... require corporations to have attorneys in small claims, and only small claims court."

"Representative Vinson."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of the Gentleman's Bill. I think its commendable that he brought it here. It's a good Bill. Substantially, help lower costs for small business men, and by golly, if a... the person across from them in court isn't represented by a lawyer, there's no reason that they have to represented by a lawyer, so I would join in support of the Gentleman's Bill, and urge a green vote on it."

"Representative Preston"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I disagree with one of the previous Speakers, who indicated that this Bill is for the little guy. Quite to the contrary, this Bill is absolutely against the little guy. The little guy, is the little guy, who files a suit 85  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 for $100.00 against some corporation, that has injured him in some manner, and caused him damages. This Bill says that that corp... one of the pieces of leverage that that little guy, who is suing in small claims a large corporation, one of the pieces of leverage that he has to deal with this large corporation, is that the corporation would have to be represented in court through council, and therefore, to avoid that, and avo... avoid the expense and the notoriety, that large corporation may want to settle the case to avoid any additional cost and problems. If this Bill becomes law, that corporation, that large General Motors Corporation, or that large whatever corporation, we have operating through facilities in Illinois, no long has any cost incentive to settle some small claim, insignificant matter, with some litte Ma or Pa out there, who has a small claim against the corporation. They can send their janitor in. They don't have to get a... an attorney. They don't have to try to settle the matter with the little guy. They can go get some little... send their janitor in, maybe even give him a new job category, instead of being the janitor, he could be the arbitrator of disputes with the corporation. This is a bad Bill. This operates and vitiates against the best interest of the little people of small claims, against large corporations, and I urge your 'no' vote."

"Representative Davis."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Preston, Representative Cullerton speak quite well for the trial lawyers, who are trying to protect their economic turf, I suspect, and... and maybe that's too harsh a judgement, that I'm making, but the truth of the matter is that the last Speaker gave a rather good argument for the Bill. I've had personal knowledge of this situation, on at least 86  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 four or five different occasions, while I was in the business world, and believe me, it... it is a nightmare that you get into, when you go into small claims court. I was successful in two or three of those instances, with favorable judges who allowed me to proceed as the secretary and treasurer of supposedly a soloist corporation, to protect myself and not have to hire attorneys' fees for nuisance claims of $200.00, $300.00, that were ultimately settled when... when attorneys were ordered to be present, and were settled. But I think Representative Preston's argument is somewhat hollow. That if... equity is to be achieved in small claims court, it's to be achieved by the judicial process, and that does not necessary require the presence of an attorney. I think the Ma and Pa, who sued for $100.00 General Motors, would be delighted to see the janitor walked in to represent General Motors, because then the judge and the janitor and Ma and Pa could all work it out to who owes who. It's a very good Bill. It is a good Bill for small business. It's a good Bill for small corporations, and believe me, if you've ever run afoul of this in a corporate activity, you would support this measure. It's a very, very good measured. Representative O'Connell, you're to be congratulated."

"Representative Ronan."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I rise in support of this legislation. I'm amazed. Again we have the diatribe of the attorneys. If... if the lawyers had their way in this General Assembly, we'd have a situation. If you want to go to a doctor, you have to see a lawyer. If you want to get your car fixed, make sure you have an attorney represent you before you bring it in. If you want to get gas for your car, you better have an attorney bring you in, so that they make sure that you don't have any kind 87  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 of litigation afterwards. As far as Representative Cullerton's argument... 'Should a janitor represent a corporation?' What I've seen the Illinois Trial Lawyers do to some of the corporations in this state, they'd be better off with janitors in the courtroom. Let's... let's stop kidding around. Let's go on. Let's support Representative O'Connell. Let's do what's right for the people. Let's get attorneys out of doing what they do to us all day long, and all year long, which is take money out of our pockets. Let's have one attempt to do something for the people. This will be... probably be the only thing we accomplish today. I commend Representative O'Connell."

"Representative Karpiel."

"I move the previous question."

"The question is the previous question. All in favor say 'aye', opposed... 'ayes have it. Representative O'Connell, to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would simply ask for a favorable Roll Call. You've heard the arguments. I think it's clear that there is an injustice in this area, and I think this Bill will go some ways toward remedying that problem. Thank you."

This Bill, receiving a Constitutional Majority, is here regarded passed. House Bill 357. Representative McMaster. Please, read the Bill."

"House Bill 357, a Bill for an Act to create the Conservation Tillage Risk Share Program. Third Reading of the Bill."

"Thank you, Mr..."

"Representative McMaster."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, as the Clerk read, this creates the Conservation Tillage Risk Share Act. It authorizes the Department of Agriculture to contract with and provide grants to soil and water conservation districts, pursuant to Conservation Tillage Demonstration Program. It amends the Soil and Water Conservation District Act, provides that such districts may reimburse participating land owners for losses in yield, resulting from the use of conservation tillage, pursuant to the program. It, also, amends the Horse Racing Act, provides that funds from the Ag Premium Fund, may be used for grants under this Act. The purpose of this Bill is to encourage those involved in agriculture to use minimum tillage practices to conserve the top soil. I don't suppose there are many of us, anymore, in this place involved in farming, but there is a relatively thin layer of top soil in the State of Illinois that provides 89  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day this state, to April 15, 1983 with the ability produce very, very excellent crops, and to be one of the highest agricultural producing states in the nation. experiencing a Nevertheless, we are Something in the neighborhood great deal of erosion, and are in the process of losing that soil. of someone 188 million tons per year. Some of you from the metropolitian area will say, "What difference does that make to us?" Well, certainly, the food that you eat, and our ability to produce food, over the years, to the time of your children, your grandchildrens' ability to eat, I think this is very important to all of you, as it is to me and all of us here, today. This would provide setting aside 1 million dollars, that would be used to pay for the loses of yield for those, who enter into this program, and try it. It does not mean that everyone will get it, in fact, I think it is quite likely that there will be very little pay out of it, because minimum tillage has been used quite extensively in this state, for the last several years, and there seems to be a pretty general maintance of yield from that type of ground. I think it's... it is an excellent program. I think that we, as an agricultural state, should make our position known and should establish this program in the State of Illinois. I will answer any questions." "Is there any discussion? Representative

Klemm."

"Will the Speaker yield for a question?"

"He nods yes." "Representative. It's been asked in my area, is there really a great deal of cost because it seems that so many demonstration pilot programs have shown that the yields have been almost as good as, and sometimes even better than, because some people are concerned about the loss of revenue. Would this really cost as much as some people are 90  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 31st Legislative Day saying?"

"In my opinion, as I said, Mr. Klemm, it will not, because I think that the practices, that have been taking place over the last several years, indicate that there is very little if any lose in yield; therefore, there would probably be very minimal payout, if any."

"May... may I address the Bill, please?"

"I beg your pardon."

"May I address the Bill, then? May I speak..."

"Yes, right."

"I... I think that the Bill has been excellently drafted, and I think certainly, when we're talking about conservation methods, the no-till, or low-till conservation practices, that have been demonstrated, it's certainly excellent, and I certainly commend the Speaker, for... or the Sponsor to try to bring this about. And as long as the cost would be minimal, if anything, I think certainly this would be helping our agricultural industry, and our... all of us, who are using agriculture products. I, certainly, do join with the Sponsor of asking for some green votes on this fine Bill. Thank you."

"Representative McPike"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was... I was very glad to hear that this has got a minimal cost. It's funny, how we talk about money at State Government, sometimes. No one ever laughs about it, but this Bill supposedly has a... a companion appropriation for 1 million dollars. Now I know, 1 millions dollars isn't very much. It's a minimal amount. It's just... it's just a million dollars. That's for the first year of the program. What surprises me is that... is that this new welfare program is a... this is a new welfare program, and I have no idea how it's going to grow, and of course, no one else does. But we'll start with just a tiny 91  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 amount of money. We'll put 1 million dollars into a new welfare program for farmers, and of course, once we give money to the farmers, it's really not welfare, it's... there's another пале it. I don't know what it was called... subsidy, yeah, it's a subsidy, so instead of having a... additional people hired to come out and inspect the farm, right, right, these new people, they shouldn't be called caseworkers, what ever they would be. They would have to somehow inspect, to make sure that the... that the farmer wasn't cheating, you know, because these welfare recipients, you know that quite a few of them cheat on... on the welfare payments, so we would certainly have to have caseworkers to inspect all these welfare recipients to make sure they weren't cheating the system. Who knows, that they might sneak in there in the middle of the night and try to harvest some of the corn, and pretend like... like it didn't exist, and then get more money than what they were entitled to under the welfare program, and... and again cheat the State of Illinois. So I would presume that... that the million dollars that would be used... I would be... presume that the millions dollars are used as direct payments to the recipients, is only the beginning, because certainly, the caseworkers couldn't handle over 20 or 25 farmers in their caseload. So throughout this State of Illinois, I suppose, we'd need at least 100 caseworkers to handle this welfare program. At the federal level, I... I have tried to commend the federal government in the last two years for trying to do away with some welfare performers. We have farmers receiving welfare because they grow tobacco, farmers receiving welfare because they produce milk, or cheese, farmers pro... receiving welfare because they produce sugar, and now we have a new one. We have a new welfare program in the State of Illinois, that's 92  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 going to give farmers welfare simply be... so that they will plow their fields in a different manner, perhaps in a manner, that they plowed the fields in the... in the 1800's. If they would only try a different method, we will provide them with welfare. We don't go into someone that's manufacturing toasters, and suggest that they manufacture toasters differently, change their production line, and manufacture toasters in a way that's more efficient, or more effective. But we guarantee them that if you'll use this new government idea, and produce less toasters under our idea, don't worry about it, because we guarantee you that you will have the same profit. Of course, that would mean additional caseworkers, and we don't want to get into that. But somehow when we have a welfare for farmers, it just doesn't appear that it's the same type of welfare, when we have it for individuals. I think this is wrong. I think it's a bad idea. It's a bad program, and to say that 1 million dollars is just a minor amount of money, and we shouldn't worry about it, is ridiculous. We should kill this Bill."

"Representative Ropp."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to ask a question of the Sponsor, if I might? First..."

"He says he'll yield."

"You've mentioned this million dollars comes out of the Ag Premium Fund. If the Ag Premium Fund isn't used, where does that go?"

"Certainly Gordy, you realize that the Ag Premium com... Fund comes from the parimutuel betting. The money that is not used from the Ag Premium Fund goes into the General Fund. Yes, you realize that."

"Okay, good, thank you. To the previous Speaker, who I'm sure may have visited a farm, at least once, I'd like to 93  31st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983 invite him out to a farm to acquaint him, what corn really looks like, and when to harvest it, and how you go about it. I... I'm in support of his opposition to this Bill, but certainly not for the same reasons. Because I think I have some degree of understanding of the situation, maybe a little bit better. I really would like to make some comparative comments, though. First of all, one of the problems that's going to rise with this is that, since we don't really know how much money we're going to have for next Fiscal Year, we're starting at a zero base, let's say, and so if we put 1 million dollars here, which eventually would go into the General Revenue Fund, if it isn't used from this Ag Premium Fund, you're going to end up having to take 1 million dollars from, maybe, the Teachers' Retirement Pension, or the Public Aid, or you might have to take it from Higher Ed, or Daycare Centers, or any number of other things. So that's, I guess, maybe, immaterial, but you're going to have to take that million dollars from some other program to put it into this one, not that you're going to spend a dime, cause I don't think you'd probably spend a dime, but at least on the overall budget, it's going to be a transfer of 1 million dollars from one project to another. I just happen to have a little news article, here, stating that... which announces the winners of the no-till yield contest of 1982, from Ottawa Dateline. First year, no-till corn winners are Larry Godbread of Vermillion Township, 190 bushel, and second, was a young man from another township, 189, and the third, 188. That was the first year. For those who have grown corn for 2 or more years on no-till practices, 181 bushels, 172 for second, and 171 for third. Soybeans were comparable, 60 bushels per yield, 53 bushels, and 49, for first, second, and third. The question is, I think, is not one as to 94  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 whether or not no-till is a good program because it is. It's been proven. You can... you can do super well. The question is whether or not we ought to have a million dollars go here and just sit there for a full year, or should it be diverted to somewhere else, and I think it ought to stay somewhere else. This is not a welfare program in any way, shape, or form. It's a program that shows by example what can be done in conserving the soil. Farmers aren't in the business of being on welfare. They're in the business of working. We're not like other kinds of businesses, who may be in the toaster business, and feel that they are not getting a fair price, and may want to just strike, for seven months or so, waiting for the price to go up. Or we may say to our exporters, that want to bring commodities in here, "We don't want your product.", and as a result we'd lose our markets. It's important that we have our priorities in this area. The good concept of this Bill is overshadowed by the inability to use a millions dollars wisely. It is not a Bill that you would want to support."

"Representative Oblinger."

"Mr.... Mr. Speaker, and Members of the General Assembly. I don't know if I can match the oratory but I sure an going to try. This is a conservation program, not a welfare program. Farmers don't have the ability to negotiate to get a minimum wage, and a cost of living increase. They're bound by what they can get on the open market. If we went ahead and looked at what we paid for a ton of ammonia, about four years ago, it was $50.00 a ton. Because the workers, who provide that ammonia, were able to get higher wages, we now pay $450.00. If we raise the price of our product 5 times like that, you're going to pay $13.00 or $14.00 for a bushel of corn, and you're going to 95  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 pay about $30.00 for a bushel of soybeans, and if you want to pay $6.00 for a loaf of bread, just keep putting it to the farmers."

"Representative Tate."

"Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of this legislation. It... it is... I've been kind of confused over this debate because I... I thought that House Bill 357 addressed the issue of conservation tillage, and somehow we digressed into a debate over cost of living increases for Public Aid recipients. The issue, here, is an issue that... concerns all of our futures. We have millions and millions of dollars every year that go down the Mississippi River. And unless today, we take the issue on and confront this issue, we'll continue to lose hold of our own direction for the future. The issue, here, is one of increasing and improving productivity. This state is one of the leading states, is the leading state in the country for exports, and unless we continue to encourage conservation methods, we're going to lose grip of that hold. Let me tell you one other thing. There... every Member... all the Members on the other side of the aisle, this isn't an issue that allows the mayor to spend $500,000 for a... a party up in Chicago, last year, that... which came out of the A.P.F. Fund. The issue, here folks, is one of priorities, and how we spend that Agricultural Premium Fund, And this should be a... a priority, and I encourage a 'yes' vote. Thank you."

"Representative Christensen."

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

"The question is, 'Shall the previous question be moved?' All in favor say 'aye', opposed... 'ayes' have it. McMaster, to close. Representative McMaster." 96  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, I guess there's one advantage to being a Sponsor of a Bill. You have the last opportunity to speak. I do not wish to mention any names from the other side of the aisle, but one of the Gentleman, who is a Member of Leadership, called this a welfare program. He attacked the idea of a million dollars being a minimal amount. I don't think he was listening very well. I did not say 1 million dollars was a minimal amount. I said that I thought there would be a minimal expenditure from it, and I still think this is true. Certainly, we are faced with saying this is only for farmers, and I disagree with you on that, because all of us benefit from agriculture, and the ability of agriculture to produce. Good heavens, all of us, every day, three times a day, use agricultural products. You do. I do. Our families do, our children, our grandchildren, and I think that it's very imperative that we perserve the ability of this state and of this country to produce food. And I think that anyone, who is voting against this Bill, would be very shortsighted in the long run, as to what they feel this country should be all about and that is the ability to feed not only ourselves, but many, many other people in this world. I think that's a very good concept. I would urge your support with a 'yes' vote. Thank you."

It's an appropriation of $1,412,450.00. That's all it does, is pay the interest to the schools that we owe to them. I would urge passage of House Bill 541."

All this involves is... the various disasters that have been declared by the President. This 98  STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 31st Legislative Day April 15, 1983 simply passes through the federal funds which have... which have come, or will come from the federal government.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill essentially appropriates the federal money, that we've gotten back from the federal gas tax for highway construction. The urgency of passing it is so that the contracts can be let, and the work begun this spring. It will result in a substantial increase in jobs in Illinois, and a substantial improvement in highway pavement. The total amount is $332,182,000.00, and I would ask for a favorable Roll Call on the Bill."

"Is there any discussion? Representative Sam 99  31st Legislative Day Wolf." STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 15, 1983

"Yes, Sir."

"Federal money?"

"$90,000,000.00."

"How much?"

"$90,000,000.00."

"We were lucky, one time. Representative Vinson, this money, is that specifically earmarked for I-255?"

"The way... the way in which the appropriation Bill is drafted, appropriates the money by highway district. I am advised that under federal law, that money can only be spent on that particular project. In response to that, the concern about that particular project, I have discussed the issue of that project with Secretary Krammer. And he is very willing to meet with you or with anybody else, interested in that project, who might desire changes, and to try to accommodate whatever concerns you might have, to Sir."

"I... well, you're statements are what I understand to be true, Representative Vinson. I just wanted these statements to be made part of the record. Thank you, very much."

"Yes, Sir."

"Any further discussion? Mr. Vinson, to close."
