"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. Mr. Speaker, we're delighted for your pleasure in letting us introduce once again the report team from the 4-H clubs of the State of Illinois. We have, as you might say, the cream of the crop - eight of the top 4-Hers in the State of Illinois are here for three days learning about government. Many of them have visited with you, and they are certainly appreciative of that. May I introduce them to you? David Bruckhauser from Union County, Lori Butler from Vermilion County, Randy Crumpen from Cook County, Deborah Huber from Montgomery County, Kara Schlieder from McLean County, Kim Skibby from Whiteside County, Todd Smith from Morgan County, and David Weber from Madison County. And now to represent the group briefly is Lori Butler from Vermilion. Lori."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and the Members of the House of Representatives. We, the 1982-83 Illinois 4-H Report to State Team would especially like to thank you for your continuing support of the Illinois 4-H program. 180,000 youth members and 30,000 adult volunteers participate in the 4-H program annually. Through your support, these individuals have been able to receive leadership and public speaking skills, and can learn by doing through special interests and projects. Of these 200,000 participants, our lives have been enriched, and by your support, we can go forth knowing that we can, as the 4-H motto says, 'To make the best better'."
"Thank you. Now, Mr. Clerk, do you have a Resolution, 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 please?"
"House Resolution 357, by Representative Ropp. Whereas, the Illinois 4-H program assists in the development of the young people of this state and helps them to become self-directing, productive, contributing members of our society; and whereas, the 4-H program provides leadership for our young citizens of all races, colors and creeds, urban as well as rural, handicapped as well as able-bodied, and of all social and economic classes, in the teaching of important life skills; and whereas, through 4-H the young people of Illinois learn to apply knowledge to real life situations, respect others, practice leadership skills, evaluate job and career opportunities, acquire a positive self-concept, use accepted practices for mental, physical, emotional and social help, establish positive attitudes towards the productive use of literature and participate in community action; and whereas, the 4-H opens the door for youth in Illinois through the educational programs of the Illinois Cooperative Extension Service and the cooperation with the University of Illinois in the United States Department of Agriculture. Therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the 83rd General Assembly of the State of Illinois, that we congratulate the 150,000 youth and 30,000 adult volunteers of the Illinois 4-H program upon their many contributions towards the betterment of their communities and the state, and we recognize and commend this organization for its many activities in the development of young citizens of sound character and responsible nature; and be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this Preamble and Resolution be presented to the youth representatives of the Illinois 4-H program."

"Yes, Senate Bill 97 revises several provisions regarding the assessment notice and the calculation of the multiplier. One of those provisions is that there be a weighing by classes of property. Senate Bill 84 also deals with that topic with the weighing provision. It was decided that because the weighing provision was an item 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 that the Department of Revenue had a little problem with, what we would do is totally eliminate that provision from Senate Bill 97 and leave the rest of it intact. That's what Amendment #1 does. It's been agreed by staff and personnel on both sides of the aisle, and I would move for its adoption."
"The Gentleman has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 97. All in favor say 'aye', opposed 'nay', and Amendment #1 is adopted. Representative Brummer, for what purpose do you rise?"

"Representative Olson has moved the adoption of Amendment #1. Is there any discussion? Representative Cullerton."
"Yes, could you please, if you could, tell me about Amendment #1?"
"Yes, Amendment #1 strikes everything on page 11 after line five. That is a new chapter, par... Section 29-19 and 46, which reduces the penalty for perjury from a felony to a B misdemeanor, and we have moved to strike that. That... This is an Agreed Amendment."

"Representative Terzich, on Amendment #2. Terzich." 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Sen... Amendment #2 provides that any county officer required by the Illinois Constitution to be elected may receive an opinion from the State's Attorneys... of the State's Attorney and request the matter in question be submitted to the Attorney General for the opinion. All the problems that we had on the previous Bill of a similar nature have been resolved, and I would move for its adoption."
"Representative Terzin... Terzich... Representative Homer, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen, I rise in opposition to this Amendment, and I would like to address the chamber at this time."
"Proceed."
"This Bill... this Amendment first was presented to this chamber in the form of a House Bill. The Bill was soundly defeated by this chamber a month ago, and now it reappears as an Amendment to an unrelated Senate Bill. The arguments made then are particularly appropriate now. The Bill... the Amendment would have the effect of requiring the State's Attorney in each county to forward to the Attorney General..."
"Representative Homer, one moment. Could we have your attention? Representative Homer is addressing the Assembly, and there's a... the noise level is real high, so please pay attention. Alright, continue."
"Alright, and I'll be brief. The present law dictates that the State's Attorney of each county is the official legal officer for all the county officials. We would be creating, by this Amendment, a provision whereby county officers could circumvent the opinion of the State's Attorney and go directly to the Attorney General, who could offer an opinion contrary to the legal opinion of the 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 State's Attorney; in which case, if litigation were to follow, the county officer would be effectively left unrepresented by counsel. Secondly, legal... Attorney General opinions require a formulation of a legal issue. It isn't sufficient that just any ambiguous question be forwarded to the Attorney General. Requires some legal training to formulate that issue. The attorney... The State's Attorney of each county has been schooled and trained in this field in order to formulate the legal issue, so that we do not have nonsensical answers to non-questions. And finally, and extremely importantly, if you adopt this Amendment and this Bill becomes law, then we're going to have to provide additional staff for the Attorney General's office, because there is no way that the Attorney General, with his present opinions division - his present staff - could meet the deluge of additional requirements that would be imposed and mandated upon that office by the adoption of this Amendment. This is a... a poor Amendment. It's ill-advised. It would be expensive, wasteful, unnecessary, and I would urge your opposition to Amendment #2."
"Representative Terzich, to close."
"Well, I don't know where the Sponsor got his information about all of the additional... the big defeat of the Bill - which it wasn't substantially defeated, it was only a few votes short of passage, and it was on Postponed Consideration. The Attorney General's office stipulated that they could easily handle any... if any, opinions that may be requested. It would not add any additional staff, and there's no opposition by the Attorney General's office. And it would provide constitutional officers to request a... a second opinion from the Attorney General. It's a very good people, good government 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 Amendment, and I would appreciate your support."
"Representative Terzich has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2 to House Bill... Senate Bill 736. Those in favor say 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. The Amendment fails. Further Amendments? Representative Terzich, for what purpose do you rise?"
"I would like a Roll Call on that Amendment, Mr. Speaker. We don't have to have a fast gavel."
"Are you... Well, I thought it was pretty obvious, but... are there any who support his request for a Roll Call? One, two, three... don't have enough... four, five, six. Alright, those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted... Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 16 'ayes' and 77 'nos', and with Slape, there's 78 'nos', 1 voting 'present', and the Amendment #2 fails. Further Amendments, Mr. Clerk?"
"Floor Amendment #3, Zwick."
"Representative Zwick, on Amendment #3."
"I'm sorry... yea, Zwick."
"Representative Cullerton, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would question the germaneness of Amendment #3."
"We'll be at ease while the Parliamentarian looks at the Amendment, and we'll rule on that. The Chair rules that the Amendment #3 is nongermane. Are there further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment..."
"Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you... Ed Webb smiles... for what purpose do you..."
"Would you explain why the Amendment is non-germane?"
"No. Further Amendments? Webb is still 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 laughing."
"Floor Amendment #4, Zwick."
"Representative Zwick, on Amendment #4. Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Making frivolous rulings of that nature is not going to expedite anything in this chamber in the next week. Now, you can do that. You've got the Chair and you've got the gavel. You've got Mr. Justice Getty up there, and you can make all the frivolous rulings you want to on those things, but it is not going to expedite things and it is going to cause a lot of very serious problems. And you ought to think about that before you do those things."
"We'll think about that. Representative Zwick, on Amendment #4. Representative Cullerton, here we go again. Representative Cullerton, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, I do not know whether or not this Amendment is germane, because I don't believe it's been distributed."
"Has this Amendment been distributed? No, it has not."
"Mr. Speaker, the Sponsor of the Bill may wish to move the Bill to Third Reading, as would be his or her right."
"Are there further Amendments? #4, what's the will of the Sponsor? Representative Homer."
"Mr. Speaker, I haven't seen Amendment #4. I have talked to Representative Zwick, and I think I understand basically what it provides, but I think the same issue would be presented with regard to germaneness. It... It's identical, in many respects, to the last Amendment, so there would be no reason to hold the Bill, if the Chair is going to rule it's not germane."
"Well, we've got the issue that it hasn't 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 been distributed, and that... I think the next move is yours, but we'll go to Representative Vinson. Proceed."
"Mr. Speaker, you can't rule on germaneness or do anything with the Amendment until it's printed and distributed."
"Alright. There has been a request for a fiscal note. Maybe we ought to hold the Bill, because of that request, Representative Holz... Homer. Representative Homer, for what purpose do you rise? Out of the record? Out of the record? Is that what you're saying?"
"Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure if this will be appropriate, but I cannot see how a fical note could possibly apply. We're not talking about the... We're not talking about the use of any public monies whatsoever. I... It's just beyond me as to how a fiscal note could apply."
"Alright."
"I move that the fiscal note does not apply to this Bill."
"Well, one moment, please. One second. We'll be at ease for one second, till my Parliamentarian gets off the phone. Alright, on the matter of... One moment. Representative Homer, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker, at this time I would move to table Amendment #4."
Speaker Matijevich: "Representative Homer moves to table Amendment #4. On that, Representative Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose the Gentleman's Motion to table the Amendment. The Lady has... The Lady has filed her Amendment. The Bill's on Second Reading. We're not up against a deadline. The Amendment can easily be printed and distributed later this afternoon, and we can go back to consideration of this Bill. She has the right to have her concept heard, and I would strongly urge that Members vote 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 against the Motion to table. And I request a verification of the Motion if it appears to get the requisite number of votes."
"Representative Homer, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"A point of parliamentary order. Is this a debatable Motion?"
"Well, we've used the latitude that we can, on a Motion to table an Amendment, that we would allow some debate on it. Representative Johnson, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"Well, first of all, are we in order to move to table an Amendment?"
"Yes, we are."
"That's not been printed and distributed?"
"Yes, we are."
"What... What rule are we... is Representative Homer's Motion made pursuant to?"
"That... The Chair will rule that I do not have to, as a Chair, cite a rule to you. If you have a point of order, you make it."
"Okay."
"But the Chair does not have to cite any rule on which a person makes a Motion."
"Rule 75-d seems to provide a procedure for tabling a... an Amendment adopted by the House on a voice vote or by a Committee. Further, a Motion to Table a Committee Amendment having priority and so forth, I don't... I don't know where our rules, if they do, provide the basis for Representative Homer's Motion."
"That rule does not preclude a Member from making a Motion to Table an Amendment which has not been distributed. Further discussion on the Motion? None." 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 Representative Homer, to close on the tabling Motion."

"Yes, it is."
"Where is it?"
"Goes... it's right here."

"Verification of the Affirmative."

"There's been a request for a fiscal note. Representative Homer, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, I would move at this time that the fiscal note request is inapplicable."
"Representative Homer moves that the fiscal note is inapplicable. All in favor say 'aye'. Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Request a Roll Call."
"Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted... Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 67 'ayes', 44 'nays', and the Motion prevails. Third Reading. House (sic - Senate) Bill 808, Oblinger. Read the Bill. Senate Bill 808."

"Amendments from the floor?"
"Floor Amendment #1, Currie - Bowman, amends Senate Bill 942 on page three, line three, and so forth."
"Representative Currie, on Amendment #1."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. The Bill, itself, creates an Illinois Corporation for Science and Technology. The Amendment, Amendment 1, would add to the authority's permissive powers the opportunity to support exchange programs between universities and private technology-related businesses. I urge support of the Amendment."
"Representative Currie has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1. Those in favor say 'aye', opposed, 'nay', and Amendment #1 is adopted. Further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"No further Amendments. Is there a request for a fiscal note?"
"Not yet. It's on its way. Apparently DCCA's about to bring the fiscal note. Can we come back to it if it comes in the next five minutes?"
"Representative Currie, you're very quiet 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 today. We can't hear you. Sneak up to that mike."
"I think there is... There is a request for a fiscal note. My understanding is that the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs is bringing it over at this very moment. I wonder if the Chair would permit us to come back to this Bill if the fiscal note does turn up within the next several minutes so that we can move it to Third."
"Alright. Well, we'll hold it and see if the Department complies."
"Thank you."
"Thank you. The next Bill is Senate Bill 972, Representative Giorgi. Are you on the floor, Representative Giorgi? Take it out of the record for a moment. Run it. Call the Bill."

"Has the Amendment been... No. Out of the record. Senate Bill 991. I understand the Sponsor wants this out of the record. Out of the record. Senate Bill 995. The Sponsor requests out of the record. Senate Bill 1056, Klemm. Read the Bill."

"None."
"Third Reading. Senate Bill 1070. Out of the record, request of the Sponsor. Senate Bill 133. I understand a fiscal note has been filed. Senate Bill 133."
"Senate Bill 133. This Bill has been read a second time previously. A fiscal note is filed."
"Third Reading. Representative Johnson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Well, you went over both 991 and 995, the principle and only House Sponsor which are Representative Tate, and indicated in both cases that he wanted them out of the record, and he's indicated to me that he wanted the Bills called."
"Well, I'm going by what my Parliamentarian told me."
"Well, it would be nice to go by what the Sponsor tells you. They control the Bills."
"We'll hold for a second while the Parliamentarian communicates to your counsel. With the leave of the House, we're going to return back to Senate Bill 133, because there were Amendments... further Amendments offered, unbeknownst to the Chair. On Senate Bill 133, further Amendments? Mr... Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, as I understand the situation, you skipped 991 and 995, which are on the Calendar. You're going down the Calendar in numerical order. You... You are obligated under the rules to call those Bills. Now, apparently you're skipping that because it's a Republican Sponsor, just like you rule an Amendment's nongermane because they're offered by a Republican Sponsor. Now, why are you doing this? The Chair's operated reasonably well so far in this Session, and now today, you're chosing to operate it 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 in a totally partisan fashion. And that's not right, and you know it's not right."
"Representative Vinson, I can't tell you in any more clear terms. My information was that the Sponsor had communicated to Representative Cullerton that he wished the Bill out of the record. That's what I said. Secondly, he was not on the floor, so I think the Chair was... Oh, I didn't see him in back... in all those books. Well, let me... let me proceed. When I said 'The Sponsor wishes the Bill out of the record.', he did not jump up or anything, so I thought my information was correct. That's all I can say. Let's do this. If the Sponsor wishes the Bill called, we're going to call it. Let's proceed, in order, back to Senate Bill 133, because we mistakenly moved that Bill to Third, and I'll get back to 991. Alright? Senate Bill 133, further Amendments."
"Floor Amendment #2, Tuerk, amends Senate Bill 133 as amended, by deleting Section 8 of the Bill and by renumbering Section 9 as Section 8."
"Representative Tuerk, on Amendment #2."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, what this Amendment does is makes the State's Mandate Act applicable to the Bill. As you know, the 'Buy America' concept is going to be one that costs local government considerable money, and we're mandating at this level what local government's burden would be, relative to the enactment of the law. So, really, what I'm attempting to do here, is saying as long as the state does mandate such action, that it pays for it, and that's what this Amendment does. And I would move for the adoption."
"Representative Tuerk moves for the adoption. Representative Cullerton, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, has the Amendment been printed and 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 distributed?"
"Has the Amendment been printed and distributed? It has not. What's the Sponsor's wish? Representative Panayotovich."
"I'd like this Amendment tabled if it hasn't been printed and distributed."
"Representative Panayotovich moves' to table Amendment #2. Those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'nay'. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted... Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 59 voting... Representative Tuerk, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Well, Mr. Speaker, I would ask you to inquire of the Clerk's Office what the delay is in getting Amendments printed and distributed, for the simple reason that this was filed about an hour ago, and it would seem to me that that's ample time to have a simple Amendment printed and distributed."
"Vitek, 'aye'. My information is that the Amendment was filed about 15 minutes ago with about 20 other Amendments. Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"I don't."
"Alright. The Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 59 'ayes', 48 'nays', and the Motion prevails. And the Amendment #2 is tabled. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #3, Ropp."
"Representative Ropp, on Amendment #3. Representative Cullerton, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, I would ask the Clerk if it's been printed." 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983
"No, it has not, and Representative Panayotovich moves to table Amendment #3. Those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those... Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"I'd like to have a Roll Call on this."
"Those in favor of the Motion to table Amendment #3 signify by voting 'aye', those opposed, by voting 'no'. Representative Tuerk - his light is on, but I don't think he's seeking recognition. All in favor... the Clerk will take the record. On this question, there are 64 'ayes', 46 'nays', and the Motion prevails. And Amendment #3 is tabled. Representative Ropp, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, just as a Point of Order, this is my Amendment and everything's happening and I haven't been able to say one word. I mean, do I not even get to say 'Mr. Speaker'?"
"You said it, and you did it in a nice way, too, Gordy. You want any more to say, you can explain your vote, Representative."
"Well, yes, I'll be happy to explain my vote."
"Go ahead."
"We've talked about this issue a number of times, and I've been able to glean some very important facts about what we're attempting to do here. We're attempting to prevent the furtherance of other states saying that we will not purchase foreign commodities, because what's going to happen one of these days is that this foreign entity is going to say, 'Okay, that's all, United States. We don't need your corn, we don't need your Caterpillar tractors.' For those who think this is a Bill that is helping put jobs back to work, let me just assure you that every time we export one billion dollars - one billion dollars of any 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 commodity that we produce in this country or in Illinois - we are providing jobs for 40,000 people - 40,000 people - and I'm saying to you that every time we eliminate the potential exports of a billion, you're cutting 40,000 jobs, 40,000 voters, 40,000 families, 40,000 breadwinners. And I say to you, this Amendment would help to prevent the loss of 40,000 jobs in this country."
"Representative Tuerk, one minute to explain his vote."
"No, I don't want to explain my vote. I just want to make a Point of Order and make it clear to the House that I have no aspersions to cast toward the Clerk's Office; however, when it says that it... the Amendments were filed 15 minutes ago, that's totally in error. And I want the record to show that these Amendments were filed approximately 12:15 and there was ample time to have the Amendments printed and distributed."
"Representative Friedrich... Friedrich, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, would you..."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see the Minority Leader's light was on. Representative Daniels, you want to... I'll call on you right after this. Representative Daniels."
"Mr. Speaker, I would make the following request, that you hold the House in recess until such time as all Amendments that have been filed are printed and distributed. You have tabled four Republican Amendments. We don't think this is the way to go, and if you want us to take appropriate action, we'll be prepared to do so. So, either recess the House, hold it until the Amendments are ready to be acted upon by this House."
"Are there any more Amendments on this Bill, 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983 Mr. Clerk?"
"Do you want to respond to me, Mr. Speaker?"
"I want to find something out, first."
"No further Amendments."
"In response to you, Representative Daniels, we only have a little more business. We're going to try to comply with Senate Bill 991 for your Member, Representative Tate, and then there's one other Bill where a fiscal note has been filed. And then I believe we're going to be adjourning; so, we're going to do better than recess. We're going to adjourn. Representative Vinson, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Would you recognize Mr. Friedrich, please."
"Sure will, I was going to. Representative Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, I would last... like to ask for an immediate recess for the purpose of a Republican Conference in room 118."
"As soon as this Roll Call's finished, we can do that. On this, there are 64 'ayes', 46 'nays', and the Motion prevails. And Amendment #3 is tabled. Further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"Third Reading. Now, Representative Friedrich, is your request for the Conference now, because your Member has a Bill coming up. Do you want to do that now, or...?"
"Yes, Sir. Yes, Sir."
"Alright. There's been a request for a... one... one moment. Will you hold that? Representative McPike, would you come up here for a moment. I'll be right with you. The Majority Leader, Representative McPike. He needs five minutes, Representative." 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Allowing the Clerk five minute Perfunctory, I move the House stands adjourned until tomorrow at the hour of 1:00 p.m."
"Alright. There's going to be, before we do that, the Republicans, after adjournment, have a Conference in room... Where do you want to meet? 118. Are there any quick announcements? Representative Giglio."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'd like leave of the House to hear Senate Bills 864 tomorrow. We have a meeting at 12:00, Cities and Villages, in room 118. Inadvertently, 1313 - Senate Bill - was not heard the other day and 864. These two Bills are going to be heard tomorrow, with leave of the House."
"Have you cleared that with the Minority Spokesman?"
"Yes."
"Alright. The Gentleman asks leaves for those two Bills to be heard in..."
"Cities and Villages."
"Cities and Villages. Leave... Leave is so granted. Further announcements? Yes, Representative Mulcahey?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, just to announce that the Elementary and Secondary Education Committee, which now is in recess, will reconvene tomorrow morning at 10:00."
"Representative Leverenz."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Democratic Members of the Appropriations I Committee - if I can meet with you for three or four minutes in the conference room by the Majority Leader's Office. We'll be done in about four or five minutes. Thank you."
"Representative Kulas." 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Chief House Sponsor on Senate Bill 1317, I had a meeting yesterday morning with the State Treasurer Donnenwald and with the Governor's Housing Development Authority to discuss this Bill, and since there is some apparent conflict in the federal rules, the Treasurer has agreed to table Senate Bill 1317 so that the Governor's Housing Authority can issue bonds in August to begin the construction of new homes in Illinois. I have talked with the Senate Sponsor, and at this time, I would ask leave to table Senate Bill 1317."
"Representative Kulas asks leave to... to table Senate Bill 1317, of which he is a Principal Sponsor. Leave, and the Bill is so tabled. Representative DiPrima."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, just to announce that the Committee on Veterans Affairs are going to meet in room 122B. That's downstairs in the Capitol. Ten minutes, and I'll have you out of there. You know me."
"Representative Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, the concerns on this side of the aisle have been resolved, and the... the Conference has been cancelled."
"Thank you. I had a feeling that's what you wanted to say. Representative Younge."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, just to reaffirm that the Select Committee on Urban Redevelopment will be meeting tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. in room 114, and we will hear Senate Bill 1030 and 1031."
"Representative Ropp."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For those people who are going to address the group that was in the gallery, if they'll stick around here for a few minutes, they'll be right in, and we'll just take care of that group momentarily."
"Representative Pierce." 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 60th Legislative Day June 9, 1983
"Mr. Speaker, the Revenue Committee will meet at 2:00. We hope to finish up within an hour or two and not have to meet tomorrow morning, so if everyone gets here at two, we can finish our work for the entire Spring Session today. House Revenue Committee, room 118, 2:00 p.m."
"Representative Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'd like to waive the posting requirements so that House Resolution 288 could be heard in Executive Committee tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. We discussed it with the Minority Spokesman and there's no objection, and..."
"Representative Terzich has moved that the posting requirements be suspended for House Resolution 288. Does he have leave? Leave, and the Attendance Roll Call will be journalized for that purpose. Representative Van Duyne."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to notify all the Members of the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee that, having finished all of our business yesterday afternoon, that there will be no necessity for us meeting tomorrow morning. So, that meeting of the Energy Committee will be cancelled at 8:00 tomorrow. We will not have one."
"Representative White - Jesse White."
"Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'd like to remind the Members on the Human Services Committee that we'll... we will meet at 2:00 in C1. 2:00 today in C1."
"Alright. Representative Christensen."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I'd like to remind the... the members of the Committee on Aging that we'll meet at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning in room 114.

We've got the Calendar saying one thing and the notice that was sent out said 10:00 on the floor, and the Calendar says 8:00 in room 114. All I'm trying to do is find out for sure which time we're going to meet."
"The Calendar is correct."
"The Calendar is correct. Thank you."
