"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. We're here today with the Caravan, the Mt. Carmel High School Caravan, the group that won the Class AA Boys' Basketball Championship in the State of Illinois. Alright. I'm proud and delighted, because the Mt. Carmel High School is in the 26th Representative District. Though I'm not an alumna of the school, it is, afterall, an all boys' school, nevertheless, the school building is in the good old 26th. I'm sure many of the boys live in other districts across the city and I'm sure the whole House of Representatives is happy to welcome them today. The Clerk is going to read House Resolution #249. #249."

"House Resolution 249, offered by Representative 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 Currie and Madigan. Whereas, the Illinois House of Representatives, in a continuing effort to recognize the excellence of young athletes, wishes to congratulate the Mount Carmel High School basketball team, otherwise known as the Caravan, for capturing the Class AA State Basketball Championship for 1985 and ending the 1984-85 season with a finish that will long be remembered and cherished by Caravan fans; and whereas, the Caravan achieved new highs in impressive dimensions as Coach Ed McQuillan guided the Caravan to win the State Championship and become the first parochial school in the state and first Catholic league school to win the Class AA Illinois High School Basketball Tournament; and whereas, their final victory confirmed the season long expectations that the Caravan is a team of championship caliber, as they captured the State Championship with an impressive display of ability, precision and excellence; and whereas, the Caravan ended the season with a 28-4 record, only one indication of the success attained by the team as a whole. Therefore, be it resolved, by the House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois, that we congratulate the Mount Caramel High School boys' basketball team for capturing the 1985 Class AA State Championship; that we commend the coaches and especially the players for their dedication and ambition; that we extend a sincere wish for continued success for the Caravan and for the individual members of the team that they enjoy success in their futures. And be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this Preamble and Resolution be presented to Coach Ed McQuillan and to each and every member of the Caravan as a formal indication of the deep pride felt by the Members of this House."

"Thank you, Mr. Clerk. I now would like to 11  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 present to the Assembly the Coach of the Caravan, Coach Ed McQuillan. Here is his Resolution."

"Thank you very much. I'd like to take this opportunity in this particular time to talk about taxes. Certainly, I'm only kidding. We at Mount Carmel High School are very happy to have won the State Championship and to have become the first private school that has ever won the State Championship on the AA level. And we would like to thank the House of Representatives for their fine Resolution that they have presented us today. Thank you."

"On page three of the Calendar, on House Bills Second Reading, appears House Bill 94. Mr. White, do you wish to proceed on 94? Mr. Clerk. Out of the record. On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 150. Mr. Flinn? Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 150, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Second Reading of the Bill. No Committee Amendments."

"Is there any Floor Amendment?"

"Floor Amendment #1, offered by Representative Flinn, amends House Bill 150..."

"Gentleman from St. Clair, Mr. Flinn, on Amendment #1."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Amendment #1 is the one that was drawn up with agreement with the Secretary of State's Office in order to modify the Bill so that he could accept it. The Bill itself restricts the sale of a drivers license information from a 15 through 17 year old, and this gives the Secretary more discretion. I move for its adoption."

"Gentleman from St. Clair moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 150. And on that, is there any discussion? Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken." 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 29th Legislative Day

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield for a question."

"Under what circumstances will the Secretary be able to release the information, Representative Flinn?"

"Well, the Amendment pretty well leaves it up to his discretion. The thing that the Amendment also does is it forbids those people from passing the information on to a third party who might be unscrupulous and send all kind of undesirable mail to the young teenagers."

"Okay. And it leaves up to the Secretary to determine whether he is adequately assured that it will not be re-released?"

"No, he forbids them to release it to someone without his permission."

"Without the Secretary's permission?"

"Yes."

"And... But he can do that if, in his discretion, he's assured it will remain confidential, the Secretary."

"That's right. That's right."

"Okay. And if it doesn't specify by age, then the list can be released generally. Is that correct?"

"That's right. Unless there's some way to identify the age, it would be released generally."

"Okay. And the Secretary is in agreement with this Amendment?"

"It's their Amendment."

"Okay. Thank you."

"Further discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall the House adopt Amendment #1 to House Bill 150?' All in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendment?"

"Gentleman from St. Clair, Mr. Plinn, on Amendment #2,"

"Amendment #2 is also a Secretary of State's Amendment and what this does is remove whatever ambiguity there may be in the law which might require farm vehicles crossing the road from not having to have seatbelts on them. There is no seatbelts on them now. I talked to Representative Cullerton and he and I believe that the language is superfluous so far as the statutes are concerned. But in order to get the Bill in the shape that the Secretary of State would not oppose it, I agreed to put this Amendment on also."

"The Gentleman from St. Clair has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2 to House Bill 150. And on that, is there any discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall this Amendment be adopted?'

"Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken, on Amendment #4." 16  STATE OF ILLINCIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies April 24, 1985 and Gentlemen. Amendment #4 would provide an exception to the Bill itself. The Bill, in current form, allows the name of a minor to be changed when it is in the best interest of that child. The Bill was originally sponsored by the State Bar Association and sets forth criteria or standards which the court shall consider in determining the best interests of the child. In Committee there was some concern expressed that this was unnecessarily harsh or unnecessarily prejudicial to the natural father's rights and to the natural father's concerns. Amendment #4 to House Bill 197 seeks to provide an exception that where the father's rights have not been terminated or that he has consented or has predeceased that the name change shall not be granted. I know the Sponsor is opposed to the Amendment. I would ask you to consider, however, the rights of the natural father in deciding this issue. Where there has been an adoption, where the father has been found unfit and his parental rights terminated, where he has consented, where he is predeceased, then the court should consider the best interests of the child. But where you have a father who could be in conformity with court orders, who could be exercising his visitation rights, then you have the possibility, I think, of very harsh and inequitable situation. I'm asking that the rights of the natural father be honored, except in the stated circumstances in Amendment #4. Thank you."

"Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken, has moved for the adoption of Amendment 4 to House Bill 197. On that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Preston."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The intentioned, Sponsor of this Amendment, although well bright, diligent and certainly an able 17  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 Representative, is, in this one  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day Amendment?"

"No, Sir. No, Sir."

"Let me ask a hypothetical question. April 24, 1985 If the child were a 19 years of age, would this Amendment apply to 19 year old child who has appeared before a court seeking a change of name?"

"I think it depends on the definition of minor. The Act applies to name change of minor. I assume, under current law, that's 18. It may be 21. I don't know. But the Name Change Act applies to minors."

"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I wish to speak to the Amendment, especially if the Amendment were to apply to anyone over the age of 17. So, in my judgement, if a child was 18 years of age or older and if they have in their mind good cause to seek a change of name without regard to the attitude of the natural parent, then I don't think that the Legislature should be interfering in the rights of that child to seek that change of name. I can cite one personal experience where a child did not speak to her natural father from approximately age 14 through age 19, and the child was raised by another adult. And at the time that child became 18, she decided to take the name of the second adult. And had she been required to consult with her natural father, he would have... he would have availed himself of whatever legal rights he might have to prevent her from pursuing ahead with that change of name. And because of that personal experience, I'd just suggest that when a child gets to the age of 18, they ought to be able to do what they want to do relative to their last name and their first name, too. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

"Further McCracken, to close." discussion? There being none, Mr. 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day

April 24, 1985 "I would certainly agree that 18 is an appropriate age at which to cut off the application of this Amendment. However, this Amendment has nothing to do with the application of the Name Change Act. All the Name Change Act says is that in the case of a minor, the best interests of that child shall control. Nowhere in the Act is the age cutoff defined. I assume it's 18 because of voting age, but I must confess I don't have an answer to the Speaker's inquiry. But I don't think it's improper for us to consider the importance to a natural father of the name change issue. If a person had not kept up his responsibilities, if he had not visited with the child, if he had not kept up a relationship with the child, some of those grounds would be grounds for termination of parental rights and may be appropriate. I understand the concerns expressed. For purposes of legislative intent, I would agree that 18 should be the cutoff age, and I ask for a favorable Roll Call."

"Question is, 'Shall Amendment #4 to House Bill 197 be adopted?' All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'nos' have it. The Amend... and the Amendment fails. Further Amendment?"

"Mr. Clerk, has the requested fiscal note been filed?"

"A State Mandates Act fiscal note is filed."

"But there's a request for a fiscal note, as well. Ms. Braun, there is a request for a fiscal note on this Bill. Yes... And it will have to stay on the Order of Second Reading. Ms. Braun?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There seems to be some problem. The State Mandates Act fiscal note, which I have, indicates that there's no cost associated with this. I can't, at this point, determine where to get another reiteration of the statement on this piece of paper on another piece of paper pertaining to this Bill."

"Yes, Ms. Braun, the State Mandate Act fiscal note indicates that it's not a mandate. It doesn't reflect whether there's a cost, in fact. And because it is a cost, it might be a cost to local government and a fiscal note has been requested, you'd have to go to DCCA probably or some agency. Ms. Braun."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This did come from DCCA. I have called DCCA. They cannot find anyone to do anymore on this than has been done. Now..."

"Well, Ms. Braun, the Chair, of course, would not be in a position to reflect on its efficiency, but it would be appropriate... it would entertain a Motion, if you wished, that it is sufficient. That's something within the realm of the Body. We do it quite often."

"If there's no... I so move."

"Gentleman from McLean has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2 to House Bill 356. And on that, is there any discussion? There being none, the question is... I'm sorry. Mr. Piel, Gentleman from Cook."

"I'm sorry. With the noise level here, Mr. Speaker, it's very hard to hear the Gentleman's explanation. And if he could give a brief explanation again, I'd appreciate it."

"At what type of a cost? I mean, eligibility cost I'm talking about. Eligibility figures?"

"I'm not sure exactly how much the cost... We, additionally, don't think it's... than a study of 15 or 20,000 dollars. And that will be from... the town is going to cover those costs."

"Under this Amendment, what type of eligibility would it allow the Normal authority?"

"To consider developing a center for exhibitions."

"I'm talking about dollar amount - capital assistance and what dollar amount?"

"I don't have the exact dollar amount."

"Three million dollars."

"Less than three million."

"No, it's three million dollars. It's written... there."

"Less than three million."

"My question would be - you've got the Bloomington authority already. In other words, you're establishing another... everything else is Bloominton-Normal. Are you establishing a second authority now? Because the Bloomington authority is basically dormant..."

"You're absolutely correct. The City of Bloomington does not choose to become involved at this point; whereas, the City of Normal does choose to. Under the current statute, they could not be involved because it says the Bloomington civic authority. This includes the Normal civic authority."

"No further questions. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."

All in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendment?"

"Floor Amendment #3, offered by Representative Homer, amends House Bill 356 on page one..."

"Gentleman from Fulton, Mr. Homer, on Amendment #3."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. Amendment #3 would add the Mason County Community Center to the Bill. The county ranks just under the assessed valuation limit in order to adopt a county board resolution but does have a desire to participate along with the other communities. And I would ask your favorable acceptance of the Amendment."

"The Gentleman from Fulton has moved for the adoption of Amendment #3 to House Bill 356. And on that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from McHenry, Mr. Klemme."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just have a parliamentary guest... inquiry, and I... it appears that Amendment #3 may be out of order because of the passage of Amendment #2. And I would like to make that inquiry."

"We'll check it. Alright, the House will stand at ease for a moment or so. Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll just stand at ease for a couple of minutes while some technical defects are being repaired in the wiring system. We're okay. We're back in shape. Okay, alright. We are back on the record then. Mr. Brunsvold, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

"Mr. Speaker, would you please take this Bill out of the record 'till we get these problems ironed out?"

"We will take the Bill out of the record. Mr. 24  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 Terzich, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, as a Legislator deeply interested in the ethnic heritage of our great country, I thought you would like to know about the love to Freedom Exhibit which is on the Monroe Street side of the Capitol. The exhibit is a traveling display house in a 48 foot highway Wedge Van designed to recreate the images and impressions arriving immigrants shared of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. The creative display of history and of patriotism includes a multi-media production and historical photograph and film footage of the 1976 bicennial celebration and a three and a half minute audio-visual presentation. This display will be open from 9:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. today, and I think that it would be a great exhibit for our Members to see. It's a great tribute to the ethnic heritage of the United States and it could also use your support for the restoration of our great Statue of Liberty. Thank you."

"Thank you. We will return, as we originally provided, to House Bill 319 for the purposes of a Motion. Ms. Braun. It's on House Bill 319."

"Yes, Sir. I have filed a Motion."

"The Motion that has been filed is whether or not, pursuant to rules and statute, the mandate... State Mandate Act fiscal note is sufficient to satisfy the fiscal note requirements which have been requested. The Lady has made that Motion. On that Motion, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken."

"Initially, point of order. I don't believe the Motion is in order. Rule 34 does not anywhere provide for any exceptions or any substitution of one note for another. All of the language is mandatory. None of the language is directory. Even if the Notion is in writing, it's out of 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 order. It's not proper under Rule 34. There is no opportunity for the Body to vote on the issue of whether one note will suffice for the other. Point of order."

"Thank you. Your point of order is not well taken by reason of Section 42.33 of the Fiscal Note Act which provides that the House can decide whether a fiscal note is necessary, which is precisely what her Motion does, Sir. Is there further discussion on the Motion? Mr. McCracken."

"To the Motion then,"

"Proceed, Sir."

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, what has been filed is a State Mandates Fiscal Act note. All that note says is that the State Mandates Act... there will be no impact upon local governments as a result of an alleged mandate. It does not talk about the cost to the state, which is what a fiscal note directs. They are two distinct issues; one dealing with the impact upon local units of government that note has been filed. The other deals with the possible fiscal impact upon the state, which is the fiscal note. That note has not yet been filed. Now this Bill will place another duty upon the circuit clerk. The State Mandates Fiscal Act note, which has been filed, vas the product of DCCA. DCCA is not the proper agency to pass upon a fiscal note regarding the court system of the State of Illinois. She has not gone to the proper body to get the second note. The second note deals with an entirely distinct issue - local government versus the fiscal note/state government. The Circuit Court clerks, at least in part, or the Circuit Courts of Illinois, at least in part, are funded by state money. So a very important issue has not been addressed. One, is there a fiscal impact; and, if there is, what is it? It has not been 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 addressed. That note does not address it. And I ask you to defeat the Motion to substitute one for the other."

"Further discussion? There being none, the Lady from Cook, Ms. Braun, to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I'd like the Members to take a look at this issue, because it could happen to any of us on any of our Bills. Here is a Bill that does not require the state to do anything. It is a census that would come from the courts. I filed... went to DCCA to ask for a fiscal note and a Mandates Act note. They came back with a single piece of paper that says, State Mandates Act fiscal note. Determination and fiscal note summary is the first line of the paragraph, and it says, 'In the opinion of this Department, it is not a mandate'. Given all of that, it is almost a logical conundrum if it's not a mandate and it's not going to cost money on... it doesn't apply to the state, then how can there be another piece of paper? That is all this argument is about. Every Member here, if you're called upon to have... if someone files a request and you're in a situation in which there is no requirement of anybody, then what you're looking for is duplicative pieces of paper. I've got this piece of paper. I went further to try to find where to get a second piece of paper. No one has been able to answer that question yet. No one knows where... if another piece of paper could be generated, where it could come from. I submit to the Body that this State Mandates Act fiscal note satisfies the requirements of the statute, satisfied the curiosity... or should satisfy the curiosity of the Members of this chamber. It is not a matter pertaining to any cost, and I encourage support of the Motion."

"Question is, 'Shall the Motion be adopted?'" 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed... those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, we'll take a Roll Call. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Motion there are 63 voting 'aye', 49 voting 'no', and the Motion is adopted. ... Clerk, it's been read a second time. Is that correct?"

"The Bill has been read a second time."

"Third Reading. On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 360. Mr. Homer? Out of the record. On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 367. Mr. Levin? 367. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 367, a Bill for an Act to amend Sections of an Act providing for liens for non-profit hospitals and hospital maintained and operated entirely by county. Second Reading of the Bill. Amendment #1 was adopted in Committee."

"Are there any Motions with respect to Amendment #1?"

"No Motions filed?"

"Are there any Floor Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #2, offered by Representative Johnson, amends House Bill..."

"Gentleman from Champaign, Mr. Johnson, on Amendment #2. Yes, Mr. Levin? Mr. Levin takes the Bill out of the record. Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Panayotovich. For what purpose do you seek recognition, Mr. Panayotovich?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this - opportunity for a purpose of an introduction to a former colleague of ours here in the House of Representatives, 28  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 former Representative Augie 'Rufe', who is here and served 1959 to 1961, who is here with the Slag Valley senior citizens. Welcome to Augie and his group. Thank you."

"Thank you. On the Order of House Bills... On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 370, Ms. Barnes. Out of the record. On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 381, Mr. McCracken? Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"No, wait, wait. I will defer to Representative Cullerton. Are we ready to go?"

"No. Alright. Out of the record. On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 401. ... Keane, 401? Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."

"House Bill 401, a Bill for an Act to amend the Illinois Library Systems Act. Second Reading of the Bill. Amendment #1 was adopted in Committee."

"Yeah, any Motions?"

"No Motions filed."

"Are there any Floor Amendments?"

"No Floor Amendments."

"There is a fiscal note request. And am I correct that the fiscal note has been filed? Is that correct?"

"Fiscal note has not been filed as of..."

"Fiscal note has not been filed, Mr. Keane. So, the Bill will remain on the Order... Yes, Mr. Keane, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

"Yeah, I'd like a point of information. We have a companion appropriation to this Bill, and that's the fiscal impact. I don't think a fiscal note is appropriate on this Bill."

"Mr. Keane, the issues are not the same. The Member who seeks a fiscal note is entitled to a fiscal 29  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 note, notwithstanding the fact that there will be an appropriation someplace along the line. Yes, Mr. Keane."

"Just for... again, I apologize for my ignorance on this area, but if we're going το fund the Bill... the substantive Bill through an appropriation, why do I need a fiscal note?"

"Because the statute... The direct answer is that the statute requires it. Statute says that the Fiscal Note Act shall be applicable to every Bill, except those making a direct appropriation. This Bill does not make a direct appropriation. And the philosophy behind it, I suspect, is that Members in voting on substantive legislation would want to know what the fiscal impact is on that legislation. That's the reason for it, and that's the citation. I would recommend you look at Section... off hand... Section 1 of the Fiscal Note Act."

"So any Bill that doesn't deal with a direct appropriation for which you don't need a substantive Bill is subject to a fiscal note?"

"That's correct."

"And how do I fill that requirement? By indicating the Bill that has been... the appropriation Bill that's been filed? In other words, if I just indicate the Bill that's been filed, is that... does that fulfill the needs ofthe fiscal note?"

"It's possible that the fiscal note could be more in the appropriation. We don't normally give advisory opinions, but we'll have somebody help you out. So the Bill is going to remain on the Order of Second Reading, Mr. Keane."

"Thank you."

"On the Order of House Bills Second Reading appears House Bill 405. The Gentleman from Macon, are you 30  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 prepared, Mr. Tate, on that?"

"Yeah, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to move to table House Bill 1055 and 1056."

"Well, I had called you on House Bill 405, Mr. Tate."

"I recognize that. I don't want to call that Bill. I just wanted to move to table those two."

"Alright. Does the Gentleman have leave to... Are you the principle Sponsors of those two Bills?"

"Both those Bills. Thank you."

"What are the numbers?"

"1055 and 1056."

"Yes, Mr. Cullerton?"

"Where are the Bills? Are they on the Calendar or are they in Committee?"

"Mr. Tate, where are the Bills?"

"They've been assigned to Committee."

"Mr. Tate, why don't you..."

"Wait a minute. One of them is in Rules Committee, too."

"Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton, on Amendment #1 to House Bill 414." 31  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985

"Yes, I believe that in the drafting of the Bill, they ommitted a Section dealing with chronic or habitual truancy. This amends that Section, provides the content of a petition to include the allegation that a juvenile is chronic or a habitual truant. I believe it's a technical Amendment and the Sponsor should agree to it."

"Gentleman from Cook has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 414. And on that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from McLean, Mr. Ropp."

"I concur with his proposed Amendment."

"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 to House Bill 414 be adopted?' All in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #2, Cullerton, amends House Bill..."

"Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton, on Floor Amendment #2."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Amendment limits the applicability of the statute to all those counties other than Cook."

"Gentleman from Cook has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2 to House Bill 414. And on that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from McLean, Mr. Ropp."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think everyone understands what this does. I think you have to realize that what we're attempting to do is to deal with an educational problem; that is, to put young people back to school who have chosen not to go to school and are classified as truants. The biggest percentage of truants in the State of Illinois happen to be in the area that this Amendment wants to exempt - that's in the area of Cook County. Now you may 32  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 say that, well, we ought to exempt them because the courts are going to be overburdened. I think that idea is rather kind of a foolish idea. If we are concerned about people not getting jobs, who are unemployed, who do not know how to read, who do not know how to spell and add, then you ought to defeat this particular Amendment because we ought to be dealing with the root of the problem and that is students who do not attend school. I want the Bill passed, and I think if we really are concerned about the problem in the State of Illinois, then we ought to deal with it and defeat this Amendment."

"Further discussion? There being none, Mr. Cullerton, to close."

"Yes, the proponents of the legislation, at least all of the letters that I have received were from outside of Cook County - this is a Judge Steigman proposal, came to Committee and testified in favor of it. I'm opposed to the Bill. I voted against it in Committee. But the representatives of the court system in Cook County indicated that they would be opposed to the Bill unless Cook County was excluded. So in an effort to help Representative Ropp pick up some votes for his Bill, I proposed this Amendment. So, if the Amendment is defeated, I would suggest that it makes the Bill much tougher for him to pass. So, vote your conscience."

"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #2 be adopted?' All in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it, and the Amendment is adopted. Further Amendment?"

"The Amendment has not been distributed."

"So, Mr. Ropp, we'll take it out of the record of what? Mr. Ropp."

"I'd rather move it to Third Reading and then because I haven't seen it either. And if it's alright then we'll move it back..."

"Alright. Yes, Mr. Cullerton, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

"Did he say he hasn't seen Amendment #3 that he is the Sponsor of?"

"Correct. That's correct. I haven't seen it yet. It has been... It was..."

"Did someone put the Amendment in with your name on it?"

"It was sent to my office. My secretary had it prepared. And in her good leadership of my office, brought it over and properly introduced it, and I'm..."

"Couldn't we call your secretary and find out what it does?"

"No. No, I'm not allowing anyone to talk to my secretary at all."

"Mr. McCracken, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

"The Gentleman from Peoria, Mr. Tuerk."

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, House Bill 558 addresses a manner in which petitions are signed and in the original form stated how petitions ought to be signed. In Committee, which it passed out of Committee as you can see, there was some concern among the Members, both Democrat and Republican Members, that it needed some clarifying language. And, therefore, we asked the staff on both sides of the aisle to come up with an Amendment and, frankly, I think they've improved the Bill immeasurably. What it does is include the street address or rural route number of the signer, as the case may be, as well as the signers city, village or town. And I think this does clarify the Bill and improves it. And, therefore, I would ask for your approval for the adoption of the Amendment."

"Gentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 558. And on that, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he will."

"Representative Tuerk, the way the Bill was originally drafted, did you feel that there would be some problems... I mean, it was beyond reasonably difficult for petition passers for things like referendums to get signatures?"

"No, that wasn't the intent of the Bill at all. Basically, the intent of the Bill was that in times of contesting a petition signature and where the smaller communities only had to put in their village as opposed to their full address, it created some problems particularly if a street, for example, ran through a city, an urban city, as well as a small municipality or a village."

"Representative Tuerk, I understand what the Bill did. 36  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 Tuerk: I don't understand why you're amending it." "Well, the amending was... this Amendment, as I stated, would clarify the language SO that there's no misunderstanding that the petition signer would have to sign it precisely as his registration card."

"Why not?"

"Well, the Committee thought it was restrictive and; therefore, this clarifies it SO that it would make it easier for the petition signer to sign, avoid any problems... or avoid any occasion of a problem where, for example, your name may be John F. Cullerton on your registration card but you signed the petition John Cullerton. And, therefore, under those conditions, why, as long as it had to be the same as your registration card, it may create some problems. And the Committee Members felt that such a clarifying Amendment would be in order."

"Thank you. Thank you very much."

"Sure."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Basically what Floor Amendment 1 to 632 does, it establishes that all the fines collected on the interstate by the State Police, if the Bill goes into effect, would go to the Common School Fund of the State of Illinois. I think with the situation that we're in in the Illinois General Assembly is that we have to approach education with a eye for any funds that can be derived through fines, lotteries, etcetera, etcetera for increasing the Common School Fund in the State of Illinois. I understand what the Gentleman wants to do for the interstate system, getting city police back on the city streets, and I have no qualus whatsoever with State Police policing the state roads. But I definitely feel that if the State Police do police the state roads that those fines collected on the state highways in that type of a situation in municipalities should go to the Common School Fund. I think this is a very good way to generate funds for education in the State of Illinois, and I would ask, Mr. Speaker, for a Roll Call on Amendment #1."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Piel, has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 692. And on that, is there any discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton."

"Yes, will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates that he will yield for a question."

"Representative Piel, where do the fines collected by the State Police go now? What fund do they go to now?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't get your question, John."

"The fines that are collected right now by the State Police, what fund do they go into now? The General Revenue Fund or the Road Fund, or do they go to the 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 29th Legislative Day municipalities?"

"Yes, presently, some go to the courts and some go to the municipalities."

"Is there a percentage or does it... what determines who gets the money?"

"John, I couldn't tell you."

"Well, I might..."

"Okay, the cost of the clerk and the remainder goes to the city."

"Oh, so, you want to... the effect of your Amendment would be to take the money from the cities..."

"Or the unincorporated county, if they're in an unincorporated area."

"Okay. So the effect of your Bill would be to take the money from the cities..."

"It's not my Bill. It's my Amendment."

"Alright, the effect of the Amendment then, if we adopted it, would be to take the money from the cities and possibly the counties and give it to the state for the School Fund. Is that correct?"

"Well, in the situations to where they are presently patrolled by city police. There are certain areas in the state that are presently patrolled by the city police, and that's what this Bill does. It wants to take the work away from the City and put it in the state. And in that case, I've got no problem as long as we're giving it to education if we're going to have the State Police having to come into that area, and I just figure it's a very good way to collect funds for educat... the Common School Fund in Illinois."

"Okay, now the Amendment says that any funds collected or received by the reason of any traffic violation issued by the State Police on the interstate highway system. So, 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 you only want this Amendment to effect fines collected on the interstates. Is that correct? Not fines collected by State Police on other highways?"

"The Bill states interstate system, and that was the reason the Amendment did."

"So, you want to limit the collection of the fines that go to the Common School Fund only to those fines imposed by people who commit a traffic offense on the interstate only?"

"That is the way the Bill is written, John. The Bill states interstate systems. So, my Amendment, to comply with the Bill, has to say interstate systems."

"Well, I just want to find out what you want to have done. You know, you could..."

"I'm just complying with what the Bill says, John."

"Okay. So you want... You see, the purpose of the Bill was to make sure that the State Police patrol all of the interstates - not just some interstates and some municipalities and not in other municipalities. So, you've come forward with an Amendment here that takes certain fines away from the municipalities and gives it to the Common School Fund, and only... the way your Amendment is drafted, it only applies to fines given on the interstate. And I'm just wondering if that wouldn't pose a problem with the administration of your Amendment if, you know, one State Police..."

"Not at all, John, not at all, because the way that the Bill is stated that the State Police will now cover the areas that are presently covered on interstate systems by city police. And so now with them going over that would take that money that is collected in place of that... go to the Common School Fund."

"Alright. Well, Mr. Speaker, I don't think there's 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 any need for a Roll Call. I think the Amendment is fine and I'll be happy to accept it. I don't think there's any reason for a Roll Call. I'll accept the Amendment."

"Further discussion? The Gentleman from Lee, Olson: Mr. Olson." "Yes, would the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield for a question."

"Thank you, Representative Piel. Having been where they have to administer the disposition of these funds to the Circuit Clerk's Office, what kind of mechanism would we have to set up to set the designation of that when those traffic tickets roll into the Clerk's Office? How would you..."

"Basically, the mechanism is set up right now."

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

"Basically the mechanism is already set up right now."

"Well, I'd just like to pursue this just slightly further if I may."

"Very slightly."

"Alright. Interstate, would this be applicable to toll highways? Like if they..."

"Do you have a specific toll highway that's policed by a city police department right now?"

"No. The state police do..."

"Well, than no, because this deals with city police department. You didn't read the Bill, Myron."

"So, then the tickets... Well, I read the Bill and the Amendment."

"Oh okay. Closely. Okay."

"Then in other words the tickets would prescribe that if a state police officer made an arrest on I-90 in the Rockford market, then the County of Winnebago would not receive their money, but it would indeed go to the general School 42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 Fund, is that what you're saying?"

"If that area was policed by the city before where the state had to pick it up, correct."

"Thank you very much. That's a delightful explanation."

"You're more than welcome."

"Further discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Leverenz."

"Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield. Go ahead."

"What amount of money would you guess that you want to divert under your Amendment from the City of Chicago as they receive money for processing tickets, etcetera and to put into the common School Fund of the state?"

"Ted, I don't have the slightest idea what would be diverted. I'm not the one who fills out the fiscal impact statement, so maybe that would tell us."

"What on a dollar or is there a percentage that normally goes to the municipality or the county where the ticket is ajudicated?"

"No. We discussed that before. It was after the court costs and then went... the court costs and then..."

"You want to take the entire fine and instead of sending it to the Road Fund where those fines go now, you want to send it to... in essence kind of taking what almost was road..."

"No, they don't go to the Road Fund right now."

"State tickets?"

"No, we're talking about city tickets. This... The Bill, Ted, basically states that where cities are patrolling presently those are collected in the city and they're spent there. So, basically what this says is if the state police is taking over for the city, then in those areas the money would go to the common School Fund." 43  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 24, 1985 29th Legislative Day

"Where does the money for a ticket issued by a state trooper now go? Where are you diverting it from then?"

"That's not... That's not in the Bill. That's not diverting it. The Bill states, where the city is presently patrolling the interstate."

"In the County of Cook in the suburban area, if you get a ticket from a state trooper for example on the Eisenhower Expressway, where does that money go because you're redirecting it to the common School Fund?"

"Are you talking about an area that is presently patrolled by the city? Or are you talking about an area that is presently patrolled by the state?"

"Yes. First Avenue... First Avenue is patrolled by the Village of Maywood. It's a state highway."

"State highway or interstate?"

"The municipality gets some of that money."

"No, the Bill just states interstates, not state highways."

"94. I-94."

"Okay, let's take I-94. What area of I-94 is patrolled by city?"

"Well, the Village of Broadview, the Village of Maywood, Bellwood, all have to respond to Interstate 94."

"Okay, they're responding, but are they patrolling and giving tickets there?"

"They can."

"Okay, if at any point in that that is not. See there is certain areas that are not patrolled by the state police per say as far as moving violations and traffic violations... and that's exactly what this Bill addresses, Ted. It does not address..."

"... about the City of Chicago. What we're talking about are state troopers patrolling the interstates, I think, in the City of Chicago and you want the fine money 44  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 raised or derived from those tickets to go to the common School Fund by your Amendment, is that correct?"

"Areas that are presently, whether it be the City of Chicago or whether it be Cairo, Illinois. If it's a interstate highway that is being patrolled and ticketed by the local authorities, this Bill states that the local authorities will no longer have to traffic those situations and the state will traffic them. If the state does traffic them, the fines collected will go to the common School Fund."

"And what is the dollar amount of money proposed or under your Amendment would be diverted from any of those towns?"

"No, I basically made the remark before that I am not the fiscal officer of the state and I have not... I'm not the one that files out the fiscal notes. That would be a good question for a fiscal note."

"I filed it. Thank you."

"Good."

"Further discussion? There being none, Mr. Piel, to close."

"Thank you, Mr..."

"I'm sorry. Excuse me. Mr. Van Duyne. I'm sorry."

"Thank you. Would the Sponsor yield for a question?"

"Indicates he'll yield for a question."

"Quickly. Maybe I'm being redundant, but where does Piel: the fine go right now? To the county, right?" "You're the third one that's asked the question. If it is patrolled by a county or a city presently, it goes into the court system and after court costs goes to that county or municipality."

"What if the state police write the ticket in that 45  29th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE county on a state highway? It still goes to the county doesn't it?"

"If that happens to be the situation. You don't find it that much, but if that happens to be the situation, correct."

"Well, wait a minute let's clarify it. We have a state road within a county..."

"We're talking about interstates, Leroy. Interstates, not a state road."

"Well, it's still within a county though."

"You're being dilatory, but go ahead and ask the question."

"Alright."

"Mr. Piel."

"Am I being dilatory, Mr. Speaker? I'm asking..."

"Mr. Van Duyne, you are never dilatory. Ask the question."

"Then I'd like to have you be specific, ask your aid over there if you don't know, if a state trooper writes a ticket in Cook County on an interstate highway where does the fine go now? I think it goes still to the county."

"No. My question was are you talking about as far as the Amendment goes or what does it do now?"

"Your question... Your Amendment sends it to the common School Fund and I'm just merely asking you what the present situation is now. Where does it go now without your Amendment?"

"If it is collected by a city officer. A city officer is what the Amendment deals with. The Bill changes city to state policeman. And so, if that is a situation where city is patrolling that street and the state takes over for that street, that money will go to the common School Fund."

"I think you're evading my question."

"I'm not evading your question. I'm answering your 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day question." April 24, 1985

"No, you're not. I'm asking you, if the state police gives a ticket on an interstate highway within the county of Cook County, where does the fine go now and I think it goes to the county and I want you to collaborate that."

"If it's a non-incorporated area, yes."

"Thank you."

"Mr. Piel, to close briefly. Sorry. Excuse me, Mr.... The Gentleman from Madison, Mr. McPike."

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

"Indicates he'll yield for a question."

"Yes, it's sometimes hard to follow the conversation around here."

"I agree."

"But this Amendment takes money that currently goes to local court systems or to local municipalities or counties and returns that money to the state for education, is that the general intent of this?"

"Jim, the way it's set up right now that if the money is collected by a local policing district, a local policing authority, the local policing authority, that does go into the local area. Basically, you know, to go back into their city fund or county fund, whatever the case is and to pay salaries amongst other things. Alright, so the Bill is basically stating that the police, the state police, will now be policing this instead of the local authorities policing that interstate area whatever it is. And so with the state police now policing that territory the money would be going to the common School Fund instead of to the city, because the city is no longer doing it and the state is doing it."

"But it only applies to interstates? Interstate highways." 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day

"That was the way the Bill was written. April 24, 1985 I'm just going... My Amendment is going along with the way the Bill was written. The Bill is written 'interstates', my Amendment says 'interstates'. If the Bill says city streets, I'll add city streets on here."

"So, this would prohibit the local police from jurisdiction over interstates within their... within their territory?"

"Would my Amendment do that?"

"Yes."

"No. The Bill is doing that. The Bill is doing that."

"Okay. Well, I think this is a rather silly Amendment, Mr. Speaker."

"No, it's a silly Bill."

"To the Amendment."

"Proceed, Mr. McPike."

"Sometimes the General Assembly does strange things and occasionally we should laugh at ourselves. But yesterday, I believe if I'm not wrong, we took a million dollars in state money and gave it to the counties for the county fairs. Now, today we're going to turn around and take local, county and city money and have them send it back up to the state. Now, you know, we could cancel this Bill and yesterday's Bill and we'd all break even. But, I think, it's a silly proposal and we should just kill it."

"Yes, Mr. Vinson."

"Well, Mr. Speaker, I certainly resent the Minority Leader's remarks over there."

"He's the Majority Leader, Mr. Vinson, but go ahead."

"I... you know the thing that bothers me the most about this Bill is that thirty minutes ago when I was on this side of the aisle Representative Cullerton agreed to the 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day April 24, 1985 Amendment. And then I wandered around over on that side of the aisle for a while and now I hear Mr. McPike objecting to it. Now... He's been appointed as your floor leader and I think Mr. McPike is bound by his agreement to accept the Amendment, which is a good Amendment, and I'd urge an 'aye' vote if he's not reneged on his promise."

"Mr. Piel... Mr. Piel, to close."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Basically what this Amendment does, presently under the present fora if city police are policing an interstate highway, the money goes to the city. This Bill wants to take that authority away from your city police and give it to the state police. We're talking about a added cost to the state of millions of dollars. I feel this way that if we are going to put this onto the back of the state police, that the money should go to the state. Fine, if the police do it, let the money... go to the local authorities. But if the state is going to do it, I think the money should go to the state. All of us in our campaigns talked about doing something for education here's a good way to do it. Right here. This would put all those fines into the common School Fund and I would ask for a 'yes' vote on Amendment #1."

"Yes, Mr. Piel, you had indicated earlier that you wanted a Roll Call Vote."

"Yes, I do, please."

"Did you want to leave it to the auditory powers of the Chair or..."

"No, I'll take a pass on that and ask for a Roll Call Vote. Thank you."

"Oh, alright, Sir. The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 to House Bill 692 be adopted?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. 49  STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 29th Legislative Day Voting is now open.

Further Amendments?"

"No further Amendments."

"Mr. Clerk, I note that there is a request for a fiscal note. Has that... Has a fiscal note been filed?"

"There is no fiscal note on file."

"Mr. Cullerton, the Bill will have to remain on the Order of Second Reading. Mr. Cullerton, for what purpose do you seek recognition? Agreed Resolutions. Clerk, under Agreed Resolutions, House Bill 274."

"House Resolution 274, offered by Representative Curran and Madigan.
