"Our God of life. Dear Legislators, today commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust, we recall the destruction of European Jewry along with millions of innocent lives at the hands of Nazi Germany. Faced with the devastating specter of man's inhumanity toward man, we are compelled to ask with profound pain: 'How could man, created in God's own image, sink to a level lower than the beast, desecrating in his descent all that we hold sacred and precious?' Our sorrow is compounded for is not man, the child of dust and heaven, the most gifted creature in the universe, also capable of ascending the heights of love and compassion, justice and truth? May we ever cherish the divine substance in the human being, allowing him to be a humane being, rather than the most dangerous destroyer of life who diminishes God's own presence. With heartfelt gratitude, we recall the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the death camps. While victory came too late for too many, it offered hope and faith to a remnant, saved to be a living witness to man's eternal shame as well as lasting glory. Let us pledge, more than ever, to remember and through the gift of memory to act on behalf of man and God, always, as we say, Amen."

"If I could have your attention, please. We have some young people filing in here, and it's rather unique, certainly in my experience, that east central Illinois came up with two of the best basketball teams in the State of Illinois in the Class A Tournament this year. I brought the team from my hometown over last week and this week it's the other team that finished third in the state and quite frankly, I think is the best team in the state. And, I hate to say this, but they could have beaten the team from my hometown. They've played Providence St. Mel - just a super ball game and we felt, over in east central Illinois, that these young people and their coach were the outstanding team in the entire state. And I wish you would join with me in welcoming the Hoopeston-East Lynn 'Cornjerkers' and their Coach, Randy Feller. And, Tony, can you read the Resolution? We have a Resolution congratulating the team.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Amendment was suggested in Committee. And I've drafted it to accommodate the Members in the Committee who suggested a change. The Bill says simply that no interest may be computed and charged on a loan that's been paid off. And what the Amendment does, at the request of Representative McCracken, we limit it to residential real estate only. It doesn't cover commercial loans. And at the request of Representative Greiman who had a question about the applicability of it, it says that... it applies to contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the Bill or to contracts where there is... where the existing contracts are silent as to an arrangement where 9 27th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 18, 1985 the money can be charged. So, that way if there was... agreement that they could be charged on an old contract, then the Bill wouldn't apply. If they were silent on the issue, the Bill would apply and it's limited to residential real estate. I move for the adoption of Amendment #2. I'll be happy to answer any questions."

"Thank you. We've looked at the Amendment. Thank you, Representative Cullerton. I agree it applies to non-residential mortgages, but what is the point of the reference to silent contracts, I mean, if they're silent, how can you charge interest? What is the point of that?"
"Okay. The way they can charge interest now, is if the contract specifically says that they can charge interest. Okay? And so, we put the Bill in and we said, it only affects contracts entered into, you know, after the effective date. And so we thought the problem there was that there wouldn't be any applicability of this section for, you know, a good number of years when purchasers of real estate were paying off their loans. In other words, it would be like, you know, five or six, seven years. So we wanted to make sure it went back and applied to other loans that have been entered into. Okay?"
"So it's retroactive to contracts that are silent on the issue."
"Right. Right. That's what it is. That's what..."

I guess like water it'll have to seek its own level as for as support is concern, so I'll let it rest at that." 16 27th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 18, 1985
"The Gentleman moves for the passage of Senate Bill 262. Is there any discussion? Lady from Marshall, Representative Koehler."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I share with Representative Richmond the dismay that this Bill has been encumbered with many other things other than the farm Bill itself. And I assure you that I recognize the pain in the Illinois farm economy. I myself grew up on a farm. My father was a vocational agriculture teacher. I am a Member of the Farm Bureau and the Illinois Angus Cattle Association. So, I certainly do recognize what farmers are going through at this time. I also represent a largely rural district. However, this Bill has taken advantage of the desperate straits of the Illinois farmers and used their plight to pass pay raises. This is not a farm Bill. It's a pay raise Bill with a farm Bill attached. Every person in this room knows that this Bill could be stripped of the pay raise appropriation and we could get on with the business of helping farmers, but instead, we have a pay raise being passed on the backs of Illinois farmers. Farmers will resent and be embarrassed by the Legislature's blatant exploitation of their problem. I urge you to reject this matter and come back with a straight forward Bill to help Illinois farmers. Thank you."
"Further discussion? Gentleman from Bureau, Representative Mautino."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we are all placed in a very unique position. And that position is to evaluate for our constituents whether or not, with this legislation and with the support of the Governor, that those individuals in this state who are looking for and are deserving of an income tax return 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 27th Legislative Day April 18, 1985 if those individuals will be receiving that money. I don't know if your district offices are like mine; but, in most cases over the last month and a half, individuals have been contacting my office to find out where their 1983 income tax return refunds are. Currently, the Federal Government has put the citizens of this state on notice that there will be 12 to 16 weeks before their refunds will be coming back to them. I think it's a disservice if, in fact, ve don't pass this supplemental, that those people will not be able to at least receive their Illinois return. But, I guess there is one other main issue. We, in this General Assembly, have to look in the mirror sometimes and when we look in the mirror we make tough decisions. I'm sure you can't say to a lottery winner that you can't get your money because we did not support the appropriation to make the money available to you. And the Governor said, I believe, in the statement today, that he wants everything that's in the Bill, and it's up to the Legislature to provide the funds according to the statutory regulation as it pertains to department heads, Judicial as well as legislative branches of government. As one of those individuals who have been taken to task for my position on pay raise provisions in prior years, I point out to you that there comes a time to be counted. If, in fact, the substantive legislation did not pass and that was the will of the majority of this House, then I can see the reason for trying to stop this appropriation which affects every citizen in this state, including us. But most importantly, if the prior speaker had wanted to eliminate from this supplemental appropriation the appropriation that pays for the statutory authority for our pay raise, that Amendment should have been presented yesterday for the full votes of this House. That was not the case. The case was whether 18 27th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 18, 1985 or not we accept Amendment #3 to Senate Bill 262. In all consciousness, I think the right thing to do is to pass this supplemental to make sure that the rest of the citizens of this state get what's deserving to them and to abide by the wishes of the majority in this House."
"No further discussion, Representative Richmond, to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. It is true that there is a lot at stake here and certainly, many of us have worked all spring trying to present a Bill to this Legislature that would address the immediate problem of the farmer, and I don't view this as a pay raise Bill with a farm Bill attached. I think it's the other way around and it's unfortunate that happened, but I do hope that we won't forget the farmers when you vote in this situation because that was the original intent of Senate Bill 262.

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, if it's appropriate this time, I ask leave to waive the posting requirements so that House Bill 2088 can be posted for the Committee on Registration and Regulation for next Wednesday and also leave for the Subcommittee on Aeronautics Procurement to meet next Tuesday. That's 4:30 p.m."
"Representative, have you cleared this with the Minority Spokesman?"
"Yes, I have."
"Representative Nash, this is a subject matter and not a Bill. Representative McCracken, for what reason do you rise?"
"We're trying to confirm that. I'm told tentatively that we hadn't been consulted. Can you give us just a second?"
"Yes. Representative McCracken, has it been cleared now? The Gentleman has moved to waive the posting requirements so that the Committee on State Government, a Subcommittee on Aviation Procurement can meet next Wednesday. All those in favor... Next Tuesday, I'm sorry. He asked permission to use the Attendance Roll Call. Are there any objections? Hearing none, leave is granted. The Attendance Roll Call will be used, and the Motion carries. Representative Greiman, on a Motion."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would move to suspend that part of House Rule 20 (i), which reads, quote, 'No Bill or Resolution may be posted for hearing in Committee until printed copies are available in the Bill Room.' Unquote. Until the 26th day of April, 1985, I further move that no Bill or Resolution, which is posted, shall be heard in 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 27th Legislative Day April 18, 1985 Committee unless the printed copies are available in the House Bill Room. What that means, precisely, is that the posting may take place although the copies have not been printed. However, the Bills will not be heard in Committee unless the Bills have, in fact, been printed which will allow us to have Bills heard next week. I would move adoption of the Motion."
"Gentleman moves the adoption of the Motion. Representative Piel."
"I don't have an objection to the Motion, but the one question I would have because this has been brought up in the past week, how much lag time will the people have, in other words, the public, you know, the Committee Members, et cetera, have to see these Bills before they are called in Committee? I have no problem as far as the posting, but as far as the time lag on the post... being able to see the Bills."
"Fine."
"No. No. That was a question, Mr. Speaker."
"Well, I can't give you an exact time. The Motion is that the Bills will not be heard in Committee unless printed copies are available in the Bill Room."
"No. You... His Motion was for posting. I have no problems as far as posting. You know, if they end up seeing the Bills two minutes before the Bill is called in Committee, it doesn't give the staff people on either side a chance to analyze the Bill or one thing or another. And I was just wondering can you give us an idea on approximately how long, you know, we will have to read the Bills and analyze them before hand."
"Representative Piel, staff has copies of all the Bills right now, and the chief of staff says that he will be glad to deliver all 2500 Bills to your office, if you 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 27th Legislative Day April 18, 1985 would like.

So, with this Amendment, we would be telling feduciaries that they need not report to the state all of the detailed information that is required in the Act for unclaimed Property below the value of $50.

"Gentleman from Edgar, Representative Woodyard."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm beginning to wonder what kind of Bill this is. Thank you, Mr. Clerk. House Bill 81 is a Bill that was developed at the request of the Illinois Pork Producers Association, in an attempt to eliminate trichinosis in this state. There are very few cases of this disease at this particular time, and it was felt by them, by the University of Illinois and other farm organizations, that this is the time to really make the State of Illinois trichinosis free. That's what the Bill does. It allows testing on farms and certainly, sampling would be taken in slaughter houses. It allows quarantine by the Department of Agriculture on herds that are found to contain trichinosis. It allows, if trichinosis is found in 26 27th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 18, 1985 these herds, destroying the herds very similar to what we do in brucellosis, and it also... There will be a companion Bill for an appropriation that would indemnify the owners if the herds do have to be destroyed. Very briefly, the pork industry in the entire United States indicates that with this type of legislation, and by the way, U.S Department of Agriculture is looking at this state with this particular Bill as being a pilot Bill in a pilot state. We would be the first one to pass this type of legislation. If it is passed, we anticipate it will also be passed in the Federal Congress, and we anticipate that this will create about $450,000,000 in the entire United States in additional exports of pork. Presently, the European common market and Canada are exporting pork into the United States that is billed as trichinosis free. And we feel very strongly that to be able to compete in the pork industry that this Bill is necessary for the Illinois Pork Producers. And I would urge your support for it."

This Bill changes the name from 'administrative secretary' to 'administrative assistant' that each Chief Judge of each circuit has and also says that their salary level shall be set by the Supreme Court the way they set the level of most of their employees. The salary schedule will reflect the experience and education, the population of the circuit, nature and the complexity of the duties and other factors relevant to the director. Right now, they're being paid $18,000 a year and $50 per diem. This may result in some being increased and some being decreased. This was requested by Judge Gulley.

"The Gentleman from Edgar, Representative Woodyard."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Thank you, Mr. Clerk, again. We've gone from pigs to bees. About three years ago this state, again, passed some landmark legislation on honeybees, and it involved a particular problem that has now become much more prevalent in the southern part of the United States. There is certainly a very strong reason for trying to control... and now, I don't want to be the person that has to dig into the throat of a honeybee to pull out a mite, but the Department of Agriculture had requested that we introduce this Bill to be able to quarantine the queen bee and her attendants so that the immigration of this southern mite would not be infecting all of the hives of honeybees in the State of Illinois. You might be interested to know that this sounds like a very small Bill and a very small industry. Honeybees produce about $2,000,000 worth of honey in this state per year. But you know what, they pollinate about $60,000,000 worth of crops in this state, and so it's a very important industry. In addition, the Bill has been amended to allow the Department of Agriculture to quarantine or to destroy what we call 'killer bees' or 'African Bees'. There was a ship that came into Chicago several months ago and the Department of Agriculture found that they had no mechanism for actually being able to control that hive of 'African Bees' or 'killer bees' that were on that ship. And that's basically what the Bill allows the Department to quarantine the queen bee and her attendants as well as be able to destroy the killer bee. I would be glad to answer... I'm afraid to answer a question."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, House Bill 366 makes a minor modification to the State Property Control Act. It sets up a clearing house for laboratory equipment that might be surplus to a state agency. My intent is really to facilitate the transfer of what may be obsolete equipment usually at university settings and make it available for high school programs. As we try to increase the science classes and upgrade them, it would be advantageous for us to transfer this property at a minimum cost to our high school districts. The Department of Central Management Services has worked with me and by Amendment in Committee, we have made it comply with the rest of the Act. And so, other state agencies, as well as colleges, universities, local school districts and community colleges, would all have access to this excess equipment.
