"The House shall come to order. The House shall come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by the Reverend Terry Rebert, Pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Broadview, Illinois. Reverend Rebert is a guest of Representative Judy Topinka. Will the guests in the gallery please rise and join us in the invocation?"
"Let us pray. Dear Lord, heavenly Father, there is a vanishing villain in our world today. It is sin. Heavenly Father, ever since sin existed, there has been great problems, wars between nations, between parties, between individuals. But You have not forgotten us, heavenly Father. History is a testimony of Your presence. The ultimate act of Your presence was the sending of Your Son, Jesus Christ, to vindicate us from the ultimate power of sin, death itself. Heavenly Father, through our baptism in the presence of Thy Holy Spirit, help us to solve the problems within the State of Illinois and within ourselves, which give witness to our love and care for others, as You have loved and cared for us. We ask all this in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray, 'Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us, this day, our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And led us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.. "
"We shall be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Representative Ropp."
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one 1 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
"Roll Call for Attendance. Mr. Greiman, are there any excused absences?"
"Mr. Speaker, we are in fine fiddle, and there do not appear to be any excused absences."
"Thank you, Mr. Greiman. Mr. Vinson, are there any excused absences?"
"Yes, Sir, Mr. Speaker. Representative McMaster, and I might add that Mr. McMaster is doing well and expects to be back with us tomorrow... or next week."
"Let the record show that Representative Master (sic McMaster) is excused. Mr. Clerk, take the record. There being 116 Members responding to the Attendance Roll Call, there is a quorum present. Mr. Clerk, what business do we have? The Chair recognizes Mr. Greiman, for the purpose of moving the Adjournment Resolution. Mr. Clerk, read the Resolution "
"Senate Joint Resolution 39. Resolved by the Senate, of the 83rd General Assembly, of the State of Illinois, the House of Representatives concurring herein, that when the Senate adjourns on Thursday, May 5, 1983, it stands adjourned until Tuesday May 10, 1983, at 12:00 noon. And when the House of Representatives adjourns on Friday May 6, 1983, it stands adjourned until Tuesday, May 10, 1983 at 12:00 noon."
"Mr. Greiman."
"Mr. Speaker, I move for the adoption of the Adjournment Resolution."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of the Adjournment Resolution. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', all those opposed by saying "no". The 'ayes' have it. The Motion carries. The Adjournment Resolution is 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 adopted. Mr. Clerk. For what purpose does Mr. McCracken seek recognition?"
"Mr... Mr. Speaker, just for the purpose of moving for the assignment to Interim Study of two Bills from Judiciary Committee, 658 and 6..."
"Mr. McCracken, let me inquire of the Chair if we have a form to be used for that purpose. Mr. Clerk, do we have a form that can be used for assignment of Bills to the Interim Study Calendar? Well, Mr. McCracken, if you'd come down to the well, complete the form, we can do that a bit more expeditiously than we have been in the past. For what purpose does Mr. Rea seek recognition? Mr. Rea."
"Yes. As principle Sponsor of House Bills 1517, 1518, and 1519, I would ask leave to table those Bills."
"Is there leave? Leave is granted to table those Bills. Pursuant to previous notification, the first Order of Business will be Motions to discharge Committee on nonappropriation Bills. Therefore, on page thirty-three, of the Calendar, there appears House Bill 2. Mr. Levin. Mr. Levin. Is Mr. Levin in the chamber? Out of the record. House Bill 425 is a Bill assigned to an Appropriation Committee, so we shall not call that Bill. House Bill 621. Mr. Terzich. Do you wish to call that Motion? The Chair recognizes Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I believe I filed a Motion on House Bill 621, 666, and 720, and I understand that House Bill 666 was passed out of Committee. Do I need to..."
"Mr. Terzich, apparently Representative Pullen would like to speak with you."
"And also 1399."
"Mr. Terzich, could you recite those numbers again?"
"House Bill 621, 666, 720 and 1399, Mr. Speaker. I 3 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 filed a Motion on all four Bills."
"Mr. Terzich, do these Bills relate to a similar subject matter?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, they all relate to the same subject matter."
"Fine. Mr. Terzich, if we consider your Motion on House Bill 621, and then your Motion on House Bill 666, can I presume that we will not call the Piel Motion on House Bill 666?"
"That's correct, Mr. Speaker; however, House Bill 666 is now on the House floor on Second Reading, so I would like to withdraw that Motion on, specifically, on 666."
"Mr. Terzich withdraws his Motion on House Bill 666. And let the record show that Mr. Piel has withdrawn his Motion on House Bill 666. Mr. G'Connell has withdrawn his Motion on House Bill 720. Representative Pullen, will you withdraw your Motion on House Bill 1399? Mr... Mr. Terzich has filed a Motion. Representative Pullen."
"Is it my understanding that my Bill is included in Representative Terzich's Motion?"
"Yes."
"And that that's why you're asking to... me to withdraw my individual Motion?"
"Yes. It's a duplicative Motion."
"Well, it might or it might not be."
"We can wait. Would you like to wait? Would you feel more secure if we waited?"
"I would appreciate that Mr. Speaker. Thank you very much."
"Okay, good. We want you to feel secure and comfortable. Mr. Terzich has moved Motions to discharge the Judiciary Committee on House Bills 621, House Bill 720, and House Bill 1399. And on that Motion, Mr. Jaffe seeks 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day recognition."
May 6, 1983 "Yes, Mr. Speaker, I think it's really rather ironic that Mr. Terzich would make this Motion. As the Members of this House know, the House Judiciary Committee posted special Orders of Business on two occasions asking for only abortion Bills. On those occasions, ve were ready, willing, and able to hear the Bills. I might say that the maker of this Motion, who has appeared before the Judiciary Committee MOZE than any Member of the House, never showed up for either one of those occurrences. I will say further that on the last appearance Representative O'Connell had permission go ahead with all the abortion Bills. I think that there were four of them in the package, if I'm mistaken, four or five. On those four or five, one of them did get out of Committee, and the other three did not. These Bills really have had a thorough hearing in the Judiciary Committee. I think in addition to that, it should be noted, that what has happened is that these Motions were filed long before the time that they were suppose to be posted in Committee. not to They were filed, I don't know, three, four, five weeks ago, and since that time, they've been posted in the Committee at least on two occasions and sometimes on three occasions. I think that Representative O'Connell, by withdrawing his Motion, has indicated that these Bills have always received a good and fair hearing. The fact that they were not able to pass four Bills, which were really totally unconstitutional, and were able to pass one, which I'm in opposition to, but none the less is a constitutional Bill, I think indicates that the Committee did its work. There are people on the Committee who were prolife, who voted against those Bills or who refused to vote on those Bills, because of the fact that... because of the fact that the Committee got such 5 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 rotten treatment from the Sponsors of those Bills. I think if we want to value the Committee system, we ought to go ahead and defeat these Motions. There is one abortion Bill that passed out on a call. If they want to use that as a vehicle, they can use it as a vehicle, but these Bills certainly got a fair hearing. And for Mr. Terzich to appear on these Motions, when in fact he never appeared before the Committee, although they were posted, I think just underlines the fact how ludicrous this particular Motion is. But again, I say, the important thing is the Committee structure, and if you value the Committee structure, you ought to vote 'no' on these Motions."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, two points. First, I'm advised that Representative Oblinger should also be an excused, absence, and would the record so note that, please?"
"Let the record show that Representative Oblinger is excused."
"And second, would you repeat the Bill numbers that this Motion applies to? I think there are three Bills that it applies to. Aren't there? And I... There are two that I'm sure of and the third one, I'm not sure of."
"House Bill 621. House Bill 720. House Bill 1399. Representative Pullen."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I was amused to hear from the Chairman about how fair the treatment was that the Committee gave these Bills. I appeared before the Judiciary Committee on a totally noncontroversial matter, on the same day that one of... that my Bill in the package was posted without my request, and had to ask leave that another Member hold my noncontroversial Bill for a Roll Call til later, because there were not enough votes there to pass even a 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 noncontroversial Bill, that ended up with no negative votes. And yet, the Chairman invited me, at that time, to please either call my prolife Bill right then, or leave it in his hands, so that he could handle my prolife Bill for me, if you can imagine that. That's one example of the treatment. I asked another Gentleman, who was sitting on the Committee, to call my Bill later that morning, after I had, as I explained to the Chairman, worked some things out with some witnesses, because I was not prepared to go forward at that moment. And certainly, the Gentleman, that I asked to have handle the Bill, will have to speak for himself to this point, but he did inform me later that he asked the Chairman to call the Bill later on, and the Chairman, somehow, I guess, didn't hear him, or somehow shrugged off his request. I think that the Members of this House know enough about the House Judiciary Committee to understand what's going on here, and I would urge and 'aye' vote on Representative Terzich's Motion."
"Representative O'Connell."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I think I fir.. should first of all clarify something that was mentioned by my respected colleague, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. The only reason I withdrew my Motion to discharge is because Representative Terzich is considering all three in his Motion, and rather than take up the time of the House, I withdrew my Motion to discharge. I think I should also address, as a Member of the Judiciary Committee, that the issue really isn't whether we receive a fair hearing in a Judiciary Committee or not. As to that point, I must say, that I do believe that we received a fair hearing on the Judiciary Committee. The Bills were... we were notified as to when the Bills were to be heard, and they were heard. We did not receive 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 the favorable vote that we would have wanted; therefore, we are entitled to this Motion to discharge, regardless of when we file the Motion, and regardless as to the arguments as to whether one considers a fair hearing or not. As a Member of the Judiciary Committee, we were afforded the courtesies to be heard on two separate occasions, and I think that should be stated for the record. I also think it should be stated for the record that we have every legitimate procedural right to proceed with this Motion to discharge. I feel that these Bills are substantive. They're very complex, and they're very deserving of the entire floor debate. And I do not think that the issue should be the makeup of the Judiciary Committee. I think the issue should be the makeup of these Bills, which I feel warrant the entire and clear debate that should be presented on this Body. Thank you.""
"Representative John Dunn. John Dunn."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. At the time the Bills in question, on the Motion before us, were considered in the Judiciary Committee, of which I am a Member, I asked the Sponsor, the acting Sponsor presenting those Bills, approximately how long these particular Motions to discharge had been on the Calendar. I don't know the exact date the Motions were filed, but he did concede to me that they had been on the Calendar in excess of two weeks. And that means, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the mover of these Motions decided more than two weeks ago, that one of the duly appointed standing Committees of this General Assembly, in the House of Representatives, duly appointed and constituted by the Speaker of this House, was presumed in advance to be so prejudiced on the issues that he was advancing, that he knew he could not get a fair hearing. He filed these Motions in anticipation of any 8 41st Legislative Day STATE OP ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 action the Committee might take to pass the Bills, τα reject the Bills, to hear the Bills, not to hear the Bills. And you have just heard the last Speaker indicate that the Bills were heard at a time certain, set for the convenience of those who are interested in this legislation, and that the Bills were given a fair hearing in Committee. Those of us, who respect the Committee system, in the Illincis General Assembly, know that if we are to pass good legislation, and reject legislation, which should not be passed, the great bulk of that work should be done in the Committees. The Committees should be given wholehearted support. And those Members, who take the time to attend Committee hearings, to sit in Committee hearings, to stay there, when they would rather be in some other Committee, presenting one of their own Bills, deserve to have some degree of cooperation from the Sponsors presenting Bills before their Committees. They do not deserve the kind of consideration they get when a Motion to discharge is filed more than two weeks before the end... the deadline for hearing Committee Bills, and before any action has been taken on the Bills. If these Bills had been presented in Committee two, three, or four weeks ago, and the Sponsor got a Roll Call that the didn't like, and he chose to come before the House of Representatives after the Roll Call and file his Motion, that is something that all of us understand. But to... to brand the Committee as prejudice, in advance, is something that a Committee Member should not tolerate. I am a Member of that Committee. I'm an endorsed prolife candidate, but I refuse to be intimidated into voting any way on any issue. I voted 'present' on all the Bills in Committee, because of the posture taken by the Sponsor of this Motion, filing these Motions two and three weeks in advance of Committee consideration, and I would 9 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSENELY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 urge defeat of this Motion today."
"Representative Sam Wolf. Sam Wolf."
"Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question."
"The Gentleman moves the previous question. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', all those opposed by saying 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The previous question has been moved. The Chair recognizes Mr. Terzich to close."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Unfortunately, I've been before the Judiciary Committee just about every week since the Committees began, and I think I've been their most frequent visitor, and one of the longest waiters at the Committee to hear some of the Bills being called. But in any event, I would say that it's within my right to present this type of a Motion on a subject matter, which I feel is very, very important to the people of the General Assembly and also the State of Illinois. This has to deal with the child's life, the unborn child, and the prolife movement... movement in the State of Illinois. And I think that we should ri... rise above the fact of whether or not the Motion was filed before the Judiciary hearing. Previously, all of these Bills normally went to the Executive Committee. It just so happens that it didn't go there this year; and therefore, I felt that this type of a Motion was necessary, so that the General Assembly would be afforded an opportunity to express their feelings for the unborn child in the State of Illinois. And I would hopefully and respectfully request that all of the Members support me in this Motion to move these Bills."
"The question is, 'Shall this Motion be adopted?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Representative Karpiel to 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 explain her vote. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 78 'ayes', 23 'nos'. The Motion is adopted, and House Bills 621, 720, and 1399 have been discharged from the Judiciary Committee. Is Representative Pullen in the chamber? Penny, we want to clear the Calendar. How about your Motion? Shall we withdraw that? Representative Pullen's Motion on House Bill 1399 is withdrawn. House Bill 1725. Representative Karpiel.

"Proceed."

"The Lady has moved to discharge House Bill 1725 from the Committee on Cities and Villages. The Chair recognizes the Chairman of the Committee, Representative Giglio. Mr. Giglio."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise to support Representative Karpiel's request. We got someway fouled up in the Committee yesterday, and something happened to this Bill, and I told her I have no problem supporting her and would ask the House also do it."
"Representative Karpiel moves to discharge the Committee on Cities and Villages from further consideration 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 of House Bill 1725.

"The Chair recognizes Mr. Brunsvold. Mr. Brunsvold, this Bill is now on the Order of Consideration Postponed, and if you wish to move an Amendment then you must request that the Bill be place on the Order of Second Reading."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 18 would raise the... all right... request this to be moved back to Second Reading for an Amendment."
"All right. Is there leave? Leave is granted. The Bill is placed on the Order of Second Reading for the purpose of Amendment. Mr. Brunsvold. Mr. Clerk, read the Amendment."
"Amendment #2, by Brunsvold, amend House Bill 18 on page one, by deleting line one and two and so forth."
"Mr. Brunsvold."
"Amendment #1(sic - #2)... Amendment #1(sic - #2) on House Bill 18 would include downstate in the raising of the... of the Homestead Exemption from $25,000.00 to $3,000.00... $30,000.00 or $25,000.00 to $30,000.00 on home improvements. All this Amendment does is to include the downstate. Excuse me, this is Amendment #2."
"The Chair would like to correct the record to show that House Bill 18 was moved to the Order of Second Reading at the request of the Sponsor of the Bill, Mr. 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 Capparelli. So now Mr. Brunsvold has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2, and on that question, does anyone seek recognition? Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Sponsor might take the Bill out of the record at this time, so that we can examine the Amendment."
"The Gentleman agrees to take the Bill out of the record. And Mr. Brunsvold, would you share that Amendment with Mr. Vinson?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"On the Order of Postponed Consideration, there appears House Bill 230. Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. I would like to have House Bill 230 brought back to Second Reading for the purposes of an Amendment."
"The Gentleman requests leave to take this Bill back to the Order of Second Reading for the purpose of an Amendment. Is there leave? Leave is granted. The Bill is placed on the Order of Second Reading for the purpose of Amendment. Mr. Terzich."
"Amendment #3, Vinson, amends House Bill 230 as amended in Sections..."
"On the Amendment, Mr. Vinson."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Bill, as it currently stands, permits any county officer to request a... an opinion of the Attorney General. We opposed that Bill as it stood, because of the tremendous number of people that would be requesting those opinions, and because of the potential cost impact. The Sponsor has discussed the Bill with us, and we have worked out what we believe is a reasonable alternative. Under that alternative, only those county officers, who are created by the Constitution, would be able to request such 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 an opinion. And because the Attorney General is also created by the Constitution, those county officers are.... there is some meaningful theory for doing that. The cost should be substantially reduced, and for those reasons, I would ask for adoption of the Amendment."
"Mr. Vinson moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 (sic 3). Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, all those in favor of the Amendment say 'aye', all those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Are there further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"This Bill shall be placed on the Order of Consideration Postponed. For what purpose does Mr. Cullerton seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker, on this last Bill, House Bill 230. Was that Amendment #1 that we just adopted?"
"Mr. Clerk can you respond to Mr. Cullerton's inquiry?"
"I'm sorry. It was Amendment #3. 1 and 2 were adopted previously."
"Let the record show that the Amendment just adopted was Amendment #3. Thank you, Mr. Cullerton. For what purpose does Mr. Panayotovich seek recognition?"

"Proceed."

"Yes, Sir." 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983
"All right. The Order of Business shall be House Bill 18, on the Order of Second Reading. Mr. Brunsvold has moved an Amendment, and Mr. Clerk, would you confirm that this is Amendment #1?"
"Amendment #2, Brunsvold."
"All right. Mr. Brunsvold has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2. On that question, the Chair recognizes Mr. Hastert."
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Would the Sponsor yield for questions?"
"Sponsor indicates that he will yield."
"Well, Mr. Sponsor, Representative Brunsvold. What is the fiscal impact on downstate taxing districts? Do you know for this Amendment?"
"Mr. Brunsvold."
"I'm informed there is no impact."
"Why?"
"The... I would yield to... to Mr. Carpelli to answer that... Capparelli."
"The Chair recognizes Mr. Capparelli."
"This is on renovation and remodeling of new homes, and we don't just know how many permits will be taken out. And eventually they will get the money on this after four years. So the impact, would be that... would be that to be some growth and not loss."
"Representative Capparelli, thank you. To the Amendment, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Brunsvold."
"I think it's Mr. Hastert."
"Mr. Hastert."
"Right."
"Mr. Hastert."
"We're at a time when we've... the State of Illinois is 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 in some fiscal problems, but our local taxing disticts in downstate Illincis also are really strapped, and what we're doing here is strapping them even more for a period of the next four years, in taking away their tax base. We've talked about this time and time again on the the House floor. And we start destroying the tax bac... base of local governments, they come right back to State Government for that money, the money that their losing in school districts, and municipalities, and park districts, and if you sat in Revenue Committee through all the 100 and some Bills, you see this is a concurring problem, They're coming back to the state for reimbursement. I... I think this Bill, if it was a serious concern of the Sponsor of this Amendment, he should have been in Revenue Committee and presented that Bill there. I just can't see tagging this type of... of destruction on the property tax base for local governments on... on a Bill. I ask that you oppose it."
"Mr. Mautino."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I stand in support of Amendment #2 to House Bill 18, because this legislation allows the home owners to make improvements in their property without having their tax increase for that first guadrennial. It seems to me, rather ridiculous, since the original Bill only allows those in Cook County, in the City of Chicago, to have improvements completed on their homesteads and receive the provisions that are not in the sate posture of those individuals living downstate. In... included in that Amendment, of course, is the fact that it costs more to improve your home now than it did a year or two... two ago, but it allows people to put that extra H〇〇日 on, ΟΣ extend for an area between a garage and a home for another to 16 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 usable piece of proper... usable area within their property. I think it's a good piece of legislation that will put people to work, first of all adding on. And number two, it will not penalize them for fixing up their homes. It's been said to all of us in the General Assembly, the homeowners are getting rather tired of being taxed, when in fact they put no new improvements on their home. This, in fact, allows them to improve their homes, without having that large tax increase for that four year period. It's a good Amendment. It treats Chicago just like downstate, and it should be adopted."
"Mr. Ewing."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. We continue to take away from local government. Now certainly, this is a laudable approach to those people who's assessments are going up because of improvements. But let's face it. Who is the Representative improving... who is he helping? Those who can afford to improve their home by $30,000.00. I would think that $25,000.00 was an ample sum to delete from the tax Bills. How many of the working men and women, the farmers, those people with smaller incomes can afford to put over $25,000.00 in home improvements? We've already done that. And now we want to make it $30,000.00. Well, I think all of those with higher incomes should thank Representative Mautino for this nice little break that they're going to get on their homes, and local governments and schools can go without. I would suggest a 'no' vote."
"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #2 be adopted to House Bill 18?' All those in favor of the Amendment signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Sam, would you vote Mr. Fierce 'aye'?" 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 41st Legislative Day Mr. Daniels."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I think it's perhaps time that we realize exactly what we're doing by this Amendment. Now if you're prepared to vote for a tax increase, if you're prepared to turn your back in a cruel manner, on the taxpayers of this state, then you'll support an Amendment like this, which really erodes the local tax base back home, when you're telling people back home, *We're trying to hold the line on spending." Now I, for one, do not like getting up and voting against an Amendment like this, because like many of you, I also pay real estate taxes, and I also have the same kind of liability that you face. But I am not prepared, at this time, to say our taxpayers that I got all the information available to me, to support an income tax or for that matter, to be against an income tax, at this point. Be careful on these Amendments. Be careful on the things that you're doing right now, and be careful when you're telling your people back hose that you're for holding the line on governmental spending, but then turning around and eroding the local tax base, the local real estate tax that supports your schools and your local form of government, before you turn around and support Amendments like this."
"Have all voted who wish? The... Mr. Brunsvold to explain his vote."
"This Amendment... I introduced this Amendment to try to equalize the Cook County area and downstate, and that was the purpose of the Amendment. If you wish to vote against the Bill, that's fine, but I think we should treat both entities in the same... in the same manner. The Amendment simply puts them equal. Then, if... if you wish to vote against the Bill, when it's presented, that's fine. 18 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 But I think it should be... both areas should be treated equally. Thank you."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I would request a verification."
"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On the question of the Amendment, Mr. Vinson... Mr. Vinson... on the question of the Amendment, there are 64 'ayes', and 49 'nos'."
"That's why I want to verify it."
"Mr. Clerk, proceed to a verification of the affirmative Roll Call, and before you do that poll the absentees."

"Mr. Speaker, I believe the Clerk could inform you that a fiscal note has been filed on that Bill, as it was just amended; and therefore, it has to remain on Second Reading, pursuant to our Rules."
"Mr. Clerk. Mr. Clerk was there a regu... request for a fiscal note. The fiscal note request has been properly filed, Mr. Capparelli, so that you will be required to file an amended fiscal note, before the Bill can move from Second to Third Reading. The Bill shall now remain on the Order of Second Reading, because a fiscal note request has been filed. So the Bill shall remain on the Order of Second Reading. On page thirty-six of the Calendar, there appears a Motion relative to House Bill 1349. Mr. DiPrima, do you wish to call your Motion? Is Mr. DiPrima in the chamber? You have filed a Motion 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 relative to House Bill 1349 to discharge the Committee. Do you wish to move your Motion? It concerns the Selective Service System. Would you return to your chair to speak to the Motion? Mr. Clerk, read the Motion."
"Motion pursuant to Rule 35 (b) I move to take House Bill 1349 from the Speaker's table, which was reported out of Committee unfavorably, and placed on the Calendar, under the Order of House Bills Second Reading, first legislative day. Representative DiPrima."
"For what purpose does... for what purpose does Mr. Matijevich seek recognition?"
"I have a parla... parliamentary intr... inquiry, Mr. Speaker. With regards to the Bill that Brunsvold amended, under Rule 37(b), 'A Bill returned to the Order of Second Reading, to which amendments have been adopted, shall not again be taken up on the Order of Third Reading, that same legislative day and shall... shall be readvanced to the Order of Business on the Calendar from which it was returned to Second Reading... to Second Reading.' That means that Bill has to go back to the Order of Postponed Consideration. It doesn't say 'may'. It says 'shall'. And my inquiry is that Bill belongs on the Order of Postponed Consideration... Third... on Third Reading Postponed Consideration. I think it's Postponed... the word is."
"On behalf of the Speaker, who had ruled that the Bill would be replaced to the Order of Postponed Consideration; however, it would stay in the status of Second Reading, on Postponed Consideration, because of the fiscal note having been required."
"Mr. DiPrima on a Motion on House Bill 1349."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I would like to move to take from the Speaker's table, which House Bill 1349, which was reported 22 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENEBAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 out of Committee unfavorably, and place it on the Order of Second Reading. At the time, there was just a handful of people, the minimal amount that could possibly hear the Bill, but I know I won't have any problem once I get it on the flooΣ. This..."
"Mr. Clerk."
"... intelligent Body..."
"Mr. Clerk, what did the Committee report relative to this Bill?"
"The Committee report was, 'do not pass'."
"Which Committee?"
"Higher Education."
"Higher Education Committee."
"Mr. DiPrima has... has moved to take House Bill 1349 from the table because there was a 'do not pass' Motion adopted in the Committee on Righer Education. And on that Motion, the Chair recognizes the Chairperson of Higher Education, Representative Satterthwaite."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, the Bill in question here did have a fair hearing in Committee. There were witnesses there in opposition to the Bill. The matter of the constitutionality of the Bill, before us, was placed in question. There was adequate discussion on the measure in the Committee, and in the normal course of events the 'do not pass' Motion was made and seconded, and the Motion prevailed. I think that if we have any regard for the action of the Committee process in our deliberations here, that we should not honor this Sponsor's request for his Motion to take this Bill from the table, and I urge you to vote 'no' on the Motion."
"Mr. Bowman." owman: "Inquiry of the Chair, Mr. Speaker."
"Proceed." 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 41st Legislative Day
"I seem to recall a Rule that I... I can't find the relevant Section right now. A Rule that indicates that if a Committee recommendation is, 'do not pass', that that tables the Bill, and that the Sponsor of the Bill, in order to have the... a Motion like this considered must file the Motion, within I believe, it's 48 hours or two legislative days, perhaps, of the... the Committee action. And I would like to ask first of all, if my recollection of that Rule is correct? And second of all, if it is correct, can the Clerk inform us as to when the Amen... the Motion was filed and was it properly filed?"
"Rule 74 provides, 'A Motion, to take from the table, shall be taken up... shall not be taken up until it appears on the daily Calendar. Motions to take from the table may be filed with the Clerk at any time and shall appear on the daily Calendar on the next legislative day. A Motion to take from the table shall require the affirmative vote of 71 Members.'"
"Mr. Speaker, I think that in order to... the Motion... this Motion is to discharge Committee. Is that... is that correct? Or it's to take from the table? Okay. Was the... the Motion properly filed? Is the question properly before us?"
"Mr. Clerk, the Gentleman has made an inquiry of your office."
"Yes, the Motion was properly filed within two legislative days from the report."
"I see. And this will take 71 votes."
"That is correct."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Johnson."
"I... I'm going to direct this to the mo... movent, but I think probably Representative Satterthwaite could... 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day could respond maybe better than the movent May 6, 1983 because could, the movent has a tendency not to be responsive to questions. How long did... how long... how many witnesses and for what length of time were you allowed to present this Bill Representative DiPrima?"
"There was only one witness, and that witness vas a representative of the A.C.L.U. if you know what I mean."
"No. No. I'm... I'm talking about... Given your past history of the A.C.L.U., I doubt whether you know what they mean. On... on your behalf, and on behalf of the Bill, how long were you allowed to present the... present the legislation? Were you cut off?"
"What are we going to go in, the minutes and seconds? I don't know."
"No. I'm just asking you how long you were allowed to present the Bill."
"I throw in the sponge in a hurry, when I saw there vas just enough there... a minimal amount of Members present. I though possibly I might be able to get it passed out, because that woman from the A.C.L.U. vas there, but I vas stunned at the outcome."
"What vas... what vas the vote? What vas the vote on this Bill?"
"Four to one, again... against me. That vas one of the first votes I ever lost in House Committee. That's right. I want revenge."
"The vote... vell, I have to say as a stand up act that Representative DiPrima does a heck of a job, but realistically in terms of the process, when someone is allowed to present a Bill and the opponents are allowed to present their position, and it's defeated to the extent that this one vas, and I guess I'm not allowed to debate the Bill, but when ve have to debate the Bill, you'll see 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 how patently unconstitutional it is. I certainly don't think this is the kind of thing that we ought to be troubling the House with, and the time of the House with, to vote Bills like this out. As I understand it, talking to the Members of the Committee, and the people who were there, this Bill had an eminently fair hearing. It got beat overwhelmingly, and I think we ought to give it an equally overwhelming defeat on this Motion."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of the Gentleman's Motion to discharge the Committee. I rise in support of the Motion, because the Gentleman has a good Bill. All the Gentleman's Bill does is to ask Illinois citizens to comply with Federal law, and I think that's a good Bill. I think beyond that, the fact, that one Committee happens to view an issue differently than the full House, doesn't give that Committee the right to bottle that Bill up and to kill that Bill. If it's a good idea, this full General Assembly, elected by all the people in this state, ought to consider the Bill and ought to vote the Bill out, pass it, send it to the Governor and have him sign it. I think it's a good Bill, something we all ought to support, and it's... it's as American as apple pie."
"Mr. Krska."
"Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question."
"Mr. Krska, there is no one seeking recognition, so the Motion could be withdrawn and is withdrawn. Mr. DiPrima to close. Mr. DiPrima to close."
"Yes, well, I think if anybody looks up the legislation, it speaks for itself. I don't want to discuss the merits of the Bill until after we get it passed out, and it comes up next week, and I would appreciate your 'aye' vote. 26 41st Legislative Day Thank you." STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983
"The Gentleman moves that the Committee on Higher Education strike that... The Gentleman moves that House Bill 1349 be taken from the Committee on Higher Education. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. The Chair repre... recognizes Representative Satterthwaite."
"Mr. Speaker, just for correction. The Bill is not in Higher Education. The Bill was reported out of Committee with a 'do not pass' Motion. The appropriate Motion is to take from the table."
"Yes. The Chair stands corrected. The appropriate Motion is to take from the table. And the Chair recognizes Representative Shaw."
". Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen, to explain my vote. I serve on the Higher Education Committee, and that was a six, one, and one in Committee, to 'do not pass'. And at that time, I thought it was a bad Bill, and I know that the state of... of... Minnesota, I believe it is, the Supreme Court in that state has just defeated... overturned a Bill like this, and that's... I think the Bill is totally uncon... unconstitutional. I think that it would be.. be denying the citizens of this state their constitutional rights, and that's why I voted against it, and I'm voting against it now. And I urge the Members of this House to vote to kill this Motion."
"The Chair recognizes Mr. Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, in explanation of my vote. I think those who receive the benefits of our scholarship program should not be law violators, and that's the reason I'm voting 'aye', and I think the rest of you ought to do the same thing."
"Have all voted who wish? The Chair recognizes 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 Representative Topinka to explain her vote."
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, and Members of this House. I know we've all been subjected to numerous inquiries and pu... visits by representatives of the various universities here, in the State of Illinois, for at least the last three or four weeks, asking that we are... you know, fund cuts that have been in education, fully fund education, new monies for education. Let's do all we can for the universities and the colleges here in Illinois, and that's all very well and good, but I personally resent the fact that we help fund all of this to whatever extent we can, and then ultimately wind up with draft dodgers, who don't care enough about this country to serve in exchange for that. And I do encourage more 'aye' votes."
"Representative Brookins to explain his vote."
"Mr. Speaker, I serve on the Higher Education Commission, and I have the deepest respect for the Sponsor of this Bill, but I think that it did receive in Committee the proper hearing, and I know that I am a veteran, myself. I have encouraged my young folks, my kids to register, and they have their registration cards, but this Bill is a bad Bill; and therefore, I must vote against it, and I encourage the rest of the Members of this House to do the same."
"Mr. Bowman to explain his vote."
"Just to indicate that should this receive the necessary majority, and I'm happy to see that a lot of people are... are not here today, but if it does get to 71 I will request a verification."
"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 64 'ayes', 25 'nos'. The Motion fails. On Supplemental Calendar #1, on the Order of Motions, there appears House Bill 1288. Mr. 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 41st Legislative Day Davis: Davis." "Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move now to discharge the Transportation and Motor Vehicles Committee and advance to the Order of Second Reading, first legislative day, pursuant to Rule 77 (a), on the subject matter contained in House Bill 1288. In explanation of the Motion, Sir, I should simply say that this morning our attendance was quite light in the Transportation Committee, as they were in all Committees. We had a little problem. The Bill got seven votes, I believe, and one 'no' vote, one 'aye' vote. The votes, that were committed to it, had to be elsewhere in Committee. I don't think we really had the... the fully debated hearing that the Bill deserved, and I simply would offer it to you now for your consideration for the House floor. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"The Gentleman moves to discharge the Committee on Transportation of House Bill 1288. Is there any discussion? Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes. Will the Sponsor yield? Representative Davis."
"The Sponsor indicates that he will yield."
"Representative Davis, with respect to the substance of the Bill, there's... there's a term guote, 'daily demand service'. 'Daily demand service may pertain to a dial-a-ride service. Now my question to you is, 'does the incorporation of this term in the Bill, this Bill allowing for a township to disconnect if they are not receiving regular bus service, does that also cover dial-a-ride service?' In other words, if they're receiving the dial-a-ride service would they be allowed to disconnect?"
"May I respond, Mr. Speaker. Yes, indeed, Mr. Cullerton. The answer to your question is yes, although we're not supposed to debate the subject matter of the Bill. The answer to your question is yes. Dial-a-ride is included as 29 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 a prohibition for disconnect."
"Well, so if they did get dial-a-ride, then they couldn't disconnect."
"That's correct."
"Okay."
"Mr. Davis has moved that... that House Bill 1288 be discharged from the Committee on Transportation. Is there leave? Leave is granted. The Gentleman's Motion is adopted. House Bill 1815. Mr. Levin. The Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call his Motion. House Bill 1869. Representative Zwick. The Lady indicates that she would like to be recognized. That's what she's been telling the Republican Leadership."
"Right, I'm still working on it. I'd like to withdraw the Motion, if I may please."
"The Motion shall be withdrawn."
"Thank you."
"House Bill 1896. Representative Koehler. Representative Koehler. Let the record show that there is no response. House Bill 1908. Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 1908 did not have an opportunity to get any hearing at all, for that matter, in the Public Utilities Commission... Committee this morning, and for that reason, we immediately moved for consideration of a discharge Motion. A Motion I would make at this particular time."
"The Gentleman moves to discharge House Bill 1908 from the Committee on Public Utilities. On that question, the Chair recognizes Mr. Brummer."
"Yes, Mr. Chairman, the Public Utilities Committee met this morning. Representative Davis was not there. We have not had an opportunity to hear this because the Sponsor was not there to call the Bill. I was not informed of the 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 filing of this Motion, and I guess there's no obligation on his part to do SO, but this Bill was not heard. He's absolutely correct. It was not heard because the Sponsor was not there, and I would oppose this Motion at this time."
"Mr. Davis has moved to discharge House Bill 1908 from the Committee on Public Utilities. The Chairman of the Committee, Representative Brummег, has stood in opposition to the Motion. All those in favor of the Motion signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 45 'ayes and 53 'nos', and the Motion fails. House Bill 1971. Representative Karpiel. The Lady indicates that she does not wish to move her Motion. House Bill 2177. Representative Younge. The Chair recognizes Representative Younge."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move to discharge the Committee on Higher Education in reference to House Bill 2177. This Bill would rename a program, the Katherine Dunham Applied Technology Program, and I ask leave to discharge the Committee. I don't believe there's any objections."
"The Lady moves that House Bill 2177 be discharged from the Committee on Higher Education. On that question, the Chair recognizes the Chairperson of the Committee, Representative Satterthwaite."
"Mr. Speaker, I have no objection, if the Sponsor can muster the votes to get this out. There was a fair hearing in Committee, but it was a time when attendance was rather low, and it was difficult to keep a quorum in the room at that time."
"Representative Younge moves to discharge the 31 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 Committee on Higher Education from further consideration of House Bill 2177. The Chairperson indicates that there is no objection. For what purpose does Mr. Johnson seek recognition?"
"Well, it really is a matter of... of consistency in procedure. Just a few minutes ago, we had a Bill and I certainly concurred with the... Representative Satterthwaite in opposition to the Motion to discharge, and the Motion failed. Now we have a different Bill, and apparently a different subject matter, and the Representative indicates she doesn't object, even though it had a fair hearing. I'd just like to know what kind of standards are going to be applicable with respect to Motions to discharge. We're either going to believe in the Committee process, or we're not. I don't know how this differs any, other than setting up some new center that's going to cost several million dollars or billion dollars, so we can increase taxes a little bit this year."
"Representative Satterthwaite."
"Representative Younge had her hearing. I don't know why she can't live with the results like every other Member of this House."
"Representative Satterthwaite."
"Mr. Speaker, the difference between this Motion and the other Motion pertaining to a Bill that had been heard in Higher Education is that this Bill had a 'do pass' Motion, and as I indicated, it came at a time when it was extremely difficult for us to keep a quorum in the room, at that time. The other Bill had a 'do not pass' Motion. There was a quorum present voting on that other Bill. I... I'm simply trying to accommodate the Sponsor, who happened to be there at a time when Committee Members were going off in a number of different directions. It does not set up a 32 41st Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 6, 1983 new agency. It renames an agency that is already in existence, and expands slightly the authority for the kinds of programs that would be held there."
"Mr. Johnson could we proceed the Roll Call on the question? There's been adequate debate and the question is, 'Shall Representative Younge's Motion to discharge the Committee on Higher Education be adopted?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. The Chair recognizes Mr. McGann to explain his vote."
"Yes. Mr. Speaker, I would just like to make this comment. I'm a Member of Higher Education. I voted against this Bill in Committee, because I felt as though we were not following procedure, that this belongs in a procedural area with the Board of Higher Education, and the naming of the new center belongs with the Southern Illinois University. But I've been trying to work out some sort of a Resolution with Representative Younge; and therefore, in the meantime, I would appreciate having this moved from the table; therefore, I'm voting 'aye'."
"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall... Representative Laurino is seeking someone's attention, so he can be voted. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question... have we taken the record, Mr. Clerk? On this question, there are 56 'ayes', and 42 'nos', and this Motion fails. The Chair recognizes Representative Deuchler."
"Speaker. Mr. Speaker, point of personal privilege. I would like to introduce a large group from my district, from Big Rock Elementary Grade School and their teachers."
"On the Supplemental Calendar, there appears House Bill 2224. Representative Currie."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. House 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 Bill 2224 did not have an opportunity to be heard in House Executive Committee, and I would appreciate support for my Motion to discharge that Committee, so the full House can hear this Bill. The Bill, itself, provides for the... Patronage Decree to apply throughout the State of Illinois, instead of only to those governments in the northern district. The prospect of permitting political hirings and firings to go OD in Illinois State Government, in other municipalities, in towns and villages across the state, is, I think, really a purely unactractive one, certainly one, that I think, no other Member of this House would want to support. The... Bill of Decree, as I say, applies only in the northern districts, does apply to the State of Illinois in the northern district and to other local governments in that region, but I don't think E want to support one region that is patronage free. I think the Members of this General Assembly would certainly want to make sure that the provisions of that ruling apply to the full State of Illinois, to Governor Thompson and all of his agencies, as they do apply under that decree to governments in the northern part of the state. I would appreciate your support for this Motion to discharge House Bill 2224 from the Executive Committee, so it can be given the full and adequate consideration it deserves by all the Members of this House."
"The Lady moves to discharge House Bill 2224 from the Committee on Executive. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye, all those opposed 'no". The 'nos' have it。 The Motion fails. For what purpose does Mr. Bowman seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker, I would just like to point out the practical effect of what you just did. The Lady to my right, who made the Motion, is an Ethel Parker Award 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 41st Legislative Day May 6, 1983 Winner of the independent voters of Illinois Independent Precinct Organization, and... and what we need here is Roll Call, Mr. Speaker, so everybody can be recorded, and so she can once again be an 'Ethel Parker Award Winner.' I might add that I tied with her for that privilege, and I would like to be an 'Ethel Parker Award Winner' too."
"I think she failed to read the newspapers, to hear of the change in position up in the City. Mr. Clerk, would you read the list of requests for Interim Study. The Chair would like to explain to the Membership, if I could have your attention for just... for a few moments. Could I have the attention of the Membership. During the last few days, several Members have requested recognition to place Bills on the Order of Interim Study. We have provided a procedure where a Member can file a form with the Clerk. Those Bill numbers are then placed on a list. The Clerk will now read the Bill numbers that are on that list, and then we will take one Motion for Interim Study. So Mr. Clerk, if you would proceed to read the Bill numbers of the Bills, which are proposed to be placed on the Order of Interim Study."
