Illinois House Floor Debate — April 9, 1985

"The House will come to order. Members will be in their seats. The chaplain for today will be the Reverend Helen Cooper, Pastor of West Side Center of Truth for Better Living in Chicago. Reverend Cooper is a guest of Representative Arthur Turner. Will the guests in the gallery please rise for the invocation? Reverend Cooper."

"Thank you and good afternoon. Let us become still and recognize the one presence, the one power in the universe, God, the good omnipotent. And as we still ourselves, we ask, oh God, for an understanding of Thy will, that we can rise above the confusion and fog of our everyday life and be allowed to come into a realization of what is right and what is wrong. Give us Thy wisdom, oh God, that when we know what is right, we may have the courage to carry it through. Let those who are responsible to serve be set on fire with heavenly ambition and spiritual devotion. Let men be redeemed from the littleness of selfishness and lift it up to a greater understanding of the goodness that is inherent in man. Give us a wide and generous outlook upon human affairs and let every man better understand his role, his commitment and his divine appointment. Give strength to those who have hard tasks to perform and power to those who have temptations to face. And as we walk, Father, through the green pastures and by the still waters, may we recognize the presence of the great shepherd. Hallow our experiences and let us all become branches in the vine of our Lord, branches that reach out to make our world a better place to live. And as we serve, let every man, woman and child regardless of race, creed, or color, benefit from the fruits of our labor through the establishment of peace, freedom and equality for all. These things we ask in the 1  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 name of our God the Father and the Creator of us all. And so it is we thank You Father, God. Amen. Amen and amen."

"House Bill 336, a Bill for an Act to amend the Soil and Water Conservation Districts Act. Third Reading of the 7  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 Bill."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Livingston, Representative Ewing."

"Yes, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, 336 is a Bill which passed out of Committee overwhelmingly and deals with the soil and water conservation districts in this state and their tort immunity. What we actually say in this Bill is what is already the law in this state that these districts are covered by the Tort Immunity Act. Many of the members on the boards of the soil water conservation districts... They all serve without pay and they are very anxious to have this stated in the Soil and Water Conservation Act. So, actually it's a restatement of the law that's already in effect and will help protect these people, many of whom are property owners, from the possibility that they might, at some time, be held responsible and their property be taken because of some legal action against them for their voluntary work."

"Is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton."

"Yes, Representative, would you yield for a question, please?"

"He indicates he will."

"Why are you supporting this new property tax increase?"

"Well, it is not a new property tax increase. The Attorney General, I think you know him well, has said that the Tort Immunity Act applies to soil and water conservation districts now. So, there is absolutely no new tax increase. If there is any power in here for a tax to be levied to pay for tort immunity actions, it's already the law of the state."

"Well, do you... What does the Bill do, then?" 8  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985

"The Bill merely states in the Soil and Water Conservation Act what the Attorney General says is the law of the State of Illinois now."

"Okay and..."

"It would be like a codification."

"Well, wouldn't bringing these districts under the Act give them new taxing powers?"

"No."

"Currently, they rely upon state appropriations to fund their operations. Correct?"

"Absolutely. Yes."

"And if they became districts subject to the local government and governmental employees Tort Immunity Act, then they would be... have the authority to levy a property tax to pay for PI claims and settlements, wouldn't they?"

"Representative Cullerton, that is... they already had that power, if we believe what the Attorney General says the law of Illinois is now."

"You felt that they should have already had that property taxation power."

"No. I say they already have it."

"And the Attorney General says it's not clear."

"No. The Attorney General says it's clear. I'm just saying that soil and water conservation people would like to have it stated explicitly in their Act what the Attorney General says is the law of the State of Illinois."

"Well, is there some question in their mind as to whether or not the Attorney General's opinion is enough..."

"Well, I think generally the members of the boards of soil and water conservation districts are farm people, and they like to see it in writing. They don't like to take anything by guess or by golly or just on a letter from the Attorney General. They like to really see it printed in 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 stone."

"They don't take his word. They don't think his word is enough to have the weight of law."

"No, I didn't say that."

"Alright. Now, let's get back to this property tax question again. Do these districts rely upon state appropriations right now to pay for their operations?"

"There is some state appropriation. There's also county appropriations and there are funds that come in from rental of equipment and things like this. They have no taxing power for operating expenses nor would they have one under this Bill."

"And so it's your position that this Bill does not in any way change the law, that this does not give these districts any new property taxation powers."

"It is my opinion that it does not give them any power they don't already have."

"Well, that's a compelling closing argument for the need for the Bill, but I just want to make sure that it's clear, because it appears to me that there's some possibility of this being construed so as to give them new additional property taxation power."

"In what regard, Representative?"

"To pay for claims and settlements. To pay for personal injury claims and settlements."

"I would hope that I've answered that."

"Are you sure that they cannot impose a property tax to pay for personal injury claims and settlements?"

"If they can do it now, they can do it under this Bill."

"Okay."

"The Attorney General has said they can do it now. So, this Bill gives them no new taxing power."

"Okay. Thank you." 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985

"Is there further discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he will."

"How are current judgments covered, by appropriation by this Body?"

"Representative, to the best of my knowledge there has never been any."

"But if... In any event, this limits liability. Is that correct?"

"Limits the liability on the directors, yes, and employees."

"It would limit the liability to cases of willful or wanton negligence as opposed to simple negligence."

"Yes. Yes, that's right."

"So, regardless of what the law is now relative to the satisfaction of judgments, those judgments, if they ever existed, you would expect to decrease in the future under this Bill. The number or type of judgement."

"Well, there hasn't been any, so I don't how we could decrease them."

"Okay. To the Bill, all this does is bring these employees in soil and water conservation districts within the Act, the Act which covers park district employees, fire protection district employees, forest preserve district employees, all types of employees of units of local government. And the theory has been that because of their public responsibilities, their liability in the provision of those public facilities and services should be limited. This is merely to bring the soil and water conservation districts within the amid of all other local governmental units and it would result in no taxing authority and no tax 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 increase. I urge its passage."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Livingston, Representative Ewing, to close."

"Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I think this is good legislation. It extends to people who are volunteering their services, the protection of the law, or restates the protection of the law that they already have, and I would ask for a favorable vote."

"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 378... Shall House Bill 336 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye', all opposed vote 'nay'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? This is final action. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. 107 voting 'aye', none voting 'no', none voting 'present'. This Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. For what purpose does the Gentleman from St. Clair, Representative Flinn, rise?"

"Well, Madam Speaker, I would like to announce that if you have any problems with Bills after this that's going to be discussed this much and they're going to pass 107 to nothing, if you'd call on me, I'd be glad to move the previous question."

"Thank you, Representative. House Bill 378, Representative Cullerton. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 378, a Bill for an Act to amend the Code of Civil Procedure. Third Reading of the Bill. The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton, on House Bill 378."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill deals with the statute of limitations for two parties bringing a lawsuit in Illinois who are not residents of Illinois. And the current law says that we shall borrow the statute of limitations of the state in 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 which the accident or the cause of action occurred. And what this law says is that we shall use the Illinois statute of limitations. The best way to explain it is to perhaps use an example. There was a recent... recent case where a resident of Hammond, Indiana filed a suit against a trucking company in an action that occurred in Hammond and the trucking company did extensive business in Illinois and the plaintiff's attorney assumed that it was sufficient to make it an Illinois resident, but it turned out it really wasn't an Illinois resident. Because the court held it under the borrowing statute only the place of incorporation determines the residents of a corporation. So, the law suit was brought over a year after the injury occurred which was within the Illinois statute of limitations of two years, but Indiana only has a one year statute. In applying this borrowing act, the case was dismissed and the injured persons claim was barred. It... It's really a clean up of a... or an attempt to help out a situation where an injustice could occur when the plaintiff doesn't realize that there's a different statute of limitation in another state. But for whatever reasons... jurisdictional reasons the case was brought in Illinois, and it only applies when both parties are deemed to be nonresidents. I'd be happy to try to answer any questions and ask for your support."

"Is there any discussion? The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Jersey, Representative Ryder."

"Would the Sponsor yield for questions?"

"Indicates he will."

"Representative, I guess I don't quite understand this, despite your explanation and also your explanation during Committee. Why is it that the Illinois statute of limitations does not apply now?" 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985

"Because the statute says that we shall borrow the statute of limitations in the state where the action arose."

"So, as I... the action did not arise in the State of Illinois."

"Right. You're talking about situations where the cause of action did not arise in the State of Illinois and the residents are not from Illinois, but nonetheless the lawsuit is brought in Illinois. And so, take for example Indiana, a bordering state, many of the Indiana plaintiffs have attorneys in Chicago. So, the Chicago attorneys, you know, file a lawsuit in Illinois claiming that... you know, because there's jurisdiction. But unfortunately, the statute of limitations that's used is the Indiana statute which is half of the Illinois statute. So, that's the best example. Or you could... I could give you another example, let's say somebody driving down to Florida who lives in Hammond, Indiana and they get in an accident in Tennessee with a... you know, a truck, let's say, hits them. Let's say that truck does business in Illinois and their attorney, the plaintiff's attorney, is in Illinois, so they file the lawsuit in Chicago because it's more convenient for the parties to do that. Unfortunately, they file it a year after the cause... occurrence... cause of action occurred and as you know, that's a frequent occurrence cause you try to settle it before you file the law suit. Let's say you don't settle it. You file it a year and a day after the incident occurred. Well, then you used... the law... under the current law you'd use the Tennessee cause of... statute of limitations which is a year and not the Illinois statute of limitations which is two years and as a result you would be barred. So, this tends to correct that situation." 14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985

"Was this proposed legislation brought as a result of the specific case that you sited in Indiana or was it brought as a more general way of shopping for a better forum?"

"Well, the need for the legislation... Is that what you're asking about? The need for the legislation or the idea of the legislation."

"The reason that you're... brought the legislation before us."

"It was brought to my attention by an attorney, Kevin Ford, in Chicago, who's the former president of the Chicago Bar Association, who apparently heard of these situations because of the different statute of limitation in Indiana and the proximity of Chicago to Indiana and that's the background for the legislation. It's supported by the Illinois Trial Lawyers' Association."

"I've heard the term 'forum shopping' and I'm wondering if that would apply to this piece of legislation."

"Oh no. No. This has nothing to do with forum shopping, because this does not in any way change the law with regard to jurisdiction. You have to have jurisdiction to file in Illinois in the first place before this... this law would have any affect. This only talks about the statute of limitations. Only. It doesn't make it easier for anyone to sue in Illinois as a forum. It doesn't make it any easier from the pick the forum. It just says that if they do pick the forum, we're going to use the Illinois statute of limitations rather than a more restrictive statute in another state."

"It does make it easier to file in Illinois, does it not, if you're after the one year statute of limitations in the other state."

"Right. In the circumstances where both residents are not... both parties are not Illinois residents and the 15  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 more restrictive state statute has run, it would allow for that person to file in Illinois, and that's what the purpose of the Bill is. It's to correct perhaps an unjustice that would occur when the Illinois lawyers who are preparing the case assume that they can use the Illinois statute of limitations and then they find out that there's a more restrictive statute that applies. It's only designed to correct that situation under those limited circumstances."

"Just one more question because I didn't understand when the jurisdiction attaches. If both the defendant and the plaintiff are out of the State of Illinois?"

"That's right."

"And the cause of action occurs out of the State of Illinois?"

"That's correct."

"Then how is it that the State of Illinois becomes jurisdiction attaches?"

"You have jurisdiction... jurisdiction is broad. You could have a... You could have a situation where a trucking industry... let's say a truck hits a person that... as long as that trucking company does a substantial amount of business in the State of Illinois or that company owned truck does business in the State of Illinois then you have jurisdiction. That's the current law."

"Thank you. To the Bill, please."

"Yes, Representative Ryder."

"Thank you. I stand in opposition to the Bill for a couple of reasons even though in presentation during the Committee the explanation, I believe, was as clear, but I was confused at that time as well. It appears that what we're having here is not a clean up or a technical provision but an absolute change of the Illinois law which 16  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 will allow Illinois to have its own statute of limitations on actions that otherwise do not come from the State of Illinois. We're allowing folks through whatever error have decided not to prosecute in other jurisdictions believing that Illinois' two year statute of limitation applies to correct that error when they discover that it was indeed the one year or shorter statute of limitations in another state. The need is not present. I would urge a 'no' vote."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Greiman."

"Yes, thank you, Speaker. Would the Gentleman yield for a question? He indicates he will. Alright. Thank you. Mr. Cullerton, did I understand that the... there's a different rule for... where one party is an Illinois resident, than where parties are both nonresident?"

"Yes, the Illinois Supreme Court in a case of 'Cohn vs. Cessna Aircraft', 1973 case, held that the borrowing provision only applies to situations where both plaintiff and defendant are nonresidents."

"So, what's the rule, then, if one of the parties is a resident? Ddo they look to the state of occurrence or do they look to the forum state?"

"They look to Illinois as the..."

"Our conflicts law now looks to Illinois if one party is a resident, even though it's a transiatory cause of action?"

"Could you ask me that again? I'm sorry. I was reading while you were asking."

"Does our conflicts law look to the state of the forum, that's Illinois, if one of the parties is a resident of Illinois even though the cause of action arose out of... in another state?" 17  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985

"Yes, there's a preference given when one of the... one or more of the parties is an Illinois resident. If one of the parties is an Illinois resident, the shorter... the shorter non-Illinois statute of limitation is not borrowed and the longer Illinois statute is applied. But if both parties are nonresidents..."

"Then the state of the occurrence."

"Right. The shorter, non-Illinois statute."

"And that doesn't... You don't believe that the current situation has any issues of, you know, say equal protection and things like that?"

"This has been litigated in another case, a 1983 case, 'Miller versus Lockett' 457 northeast second 14, found that that does not deny equal protection."

"I see."

"So, I'm just trying to..."

"Well actually this may... this may then equalize it, right?"

"That's the purpose of the Bill."

"This may now give them equal protection, right?"

"That's the purpose of the Bill."

"Okay. Thanks, Mr. Cullerton."

"Any further discussion? The Gentleman from DeWitt, Representative Vinson."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Madam Speaker, I believe you ought to initially restore order in the chamber because this a most important Bill."

"Thank you, Representative Vinson. I'm sure your cogent comments will have that same effect."

"This Bill is one of the more bizarre pieces of legislation this Assembly will have the honor of dealing with in this legislative Session. Beyond bizarre, it's 18  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 almost weird. What this Bill basically says, for those of you who are not trial lawyers, is that in any particular instance where you can't find some other state where you can bring your lawsuit because the substantive law is unfavorable to it, we'll open our doors and let you file that lawsuit in the State of Illinois. This Bill does for lawsuits what Illinois is proposing to do for the Saturn Plant. It would suggest that the way to solve the problems of justice and unemployment and economic sloth in the country are to open up the State of Illinois to massive litigation that no other court in the country would consider. For all of those reasons this is the premier Bill of the Session to have a reason to vote 'no' on. It'll raise your insurance rates. It'll clog the courts. It'll clog the courts with litigation that does not affect any Illinois citizen. And for those reasons, I would urge a 'no' vote on the Bill."

"Is there further discussion? There being none, the Chair recognizes... Representative McCracken, you already spoke in debate. You did not. The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."

"Thank you. You know, and this Bill is not one that's going to be used only once in a while. You know, there are a lot of nationwide companies based in Illinois and this would open up the Illinois statute of limitations to those nationwide companies on a nationwide basis. Everywhere where an accident occurs and nonresidents are involved but the company happens to transact or conduct business in Illinois opens up the Illinois forum. There's no reason that the statute of limitations of Illinois, essentially a substantive Bill or law should be considered as appropriate where none of the contacts occur in Illinois. 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 The residents are not from Illinois. The cause of action did not occur in Illinois. It's a bad Bill. Thank you, Madam Speaker."

"Thank you. There being no further discussion, the Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton, to close."

"Yes. Madam Speaker, the baseball season doesn't open until 1:30 in Chicago so we're really in spring training and for the... particularly for the freshmen, so you'll recognize this, Representative Vinson has about five speeches that he has in his repertoire and he likes to get up every once in awhile and practice them, especially early on in the Session. If he can find a Bill where the speeches apply, then he gives the speech. However, if there aren't any Bills where the speech applies, he gives it anyway. So, his particular speech has nothing to do with this Bill, but nonetheless gives him an opportunity to get up and stretch his vocal cords and get him in shape for the oncoming political season ahead of us. I recall now that he gave the same type of a speech on this Bill last year and it was just as confusing to me then as it is now until I've just realized that this is just practice. This Bill has nothing to do with opening up any forums. As I indicated, they have to have jurisdiction already. So, if you can file the lawsuit in Illinois now, and you can file it right now within the time frame of the non-Illinois statute of limitations, you can still file it in Illinois. This only says that in the rare circumstance for two parties who are not Illinois residents and the non-Illinois statute of limitation has run, you can file the lawsuit in Illinois. It's always been the policy of our state to have equal access to our court system for residents of sister states and the application of the borrowing statute causes 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 21st Legislative Day April 9, 1985 injustices. This Bill is designed to correct it. I would appreciate an 'aye' vote."

"There being no further discussion... The Chair recognizes... For what purpose does the Gentleman from DeWitt, Representative Vinson, rise?"

"Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of personal privilege, insofar as the Gentleman mentioned my name in debate. And I just wonder if what he's planning to do is to use Wrigley Field after he makes the Cubs move out to be the home for all these lawsuits he's trying to bring from other states."

"The Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Winnebago, Representative Mulcahey."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, House Bill 456 is a cleanup Bill. Presently, offenders who are employed who are sentenced to periodic imprisonment for liability and are liable for their cost of their board, and so on and so forth, or weekends, only pay a $12 fee. This has caused a great deal of concern in a lot of counties throughout the state whereby these people maybe cannot afford that $12 a day. Therefore, this Bill simply says that they would be liable for the allowable per diem which is either $12 a day or 50 percent of their daily earnings whichever is less. I know of no opposition and I ask for your favorable support."

"Is there any discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall House Bill 456 pass?' All in favor vote 'aye', opposed vote 'nay'. Voting is open. This is final action. Have all voted who wish?

As soon as a vacancy occurred in the Office of Judge or will occur within six months of the day certain, the Administrative Director of the Illinois Courts shall promptly notify the Chairman of the appropriate Judicial Nominating Commission who shall immediately convene the Commission. Within 24 days after the receipt of such notice of a vacancy, the Commission shall submit to the Governor a list of three nominees, in alphabetical order, who are qualified to review... for review by the Commission.
