"The House shall come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. Mr. Laurino, would you sit down? Will the Members please go to their chairs? We shall be led in prayer today by Father Charles Kyle, Pastor of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Chicago. Father Kyle is a guest of Representative Bruce Farley. Will the guests in the gallery please rise to join us in the invocation?"
"In the Name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father, we ask Your blessings today for the Leadership, the Members and the staff of the Illinois House of Representatives. Grant them wisdom so that the laws which they enact may serve the best interests of all the people of this state. Grant them courage to always base their decisions upon high principles. Fill them with compassion for the poor and the needy. Give them patience that they may be considerate of each other's feelings as the last weeks of Session become hectic. Grant them humility that they may always place the common good of the state above their personal ambitions. Lord, we ask You also to bless the families of the Representatives. Fill their families with love and understanding as the needs of the state cause them to sacrifice some of the time the family spends together for the good of the state. In faith, we ask You to pour forth Your blessings and love upon this 84th General Assembly. Amen."
"We shall be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Representative Ropp."
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

"No, Sir. No excused absences."
"Mr. Piel, are there any excused absences?"
"No, Mr. Speaker, there are no excused absences today."
"Mr. Clerk, take the attendance... Representative Stern, are you recorded? Mr. Clerk, take the Attendance Roll Call. There being 118 responding to the Attendance Roll Call, there is a quorum present. Mr. Clerk, Messages from the Senate".
"A Message from the Senate, by Mr. Wright, Secretary. 'Mr. Speaker, I am directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in passage of a Bill of the following title, to wit; Senate Bill #1604, together with Senate Amendment #1, passed the Senate as amended June 13, 1985. Kenneth Wright, Secretary.'"
"Ladies and Gentlemen, if I could have your attention just for a moment. If I could have your attention. Our plan today is to take Motions to discharge Committee and Motions to take from the table. There are Motions which have already been filed, and they appear on the Calendar on page 23. In addition, we will hold open the Clerk's Office until 3:30 this afternoon for the purpose of taking additional Motions to discharge Committee or to take from the table and then we will publish a Supplemental Calendar. So you have until 3:30, about 20 minutes, to file those Motions with the Clerk and then we will publish the Supplemental Calendar. Okay, and at this time we will go to the Motions which have been filed previously. On page 23 of the Calendar, Senate Bill 1. Mr. Bowman."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I filed this Motion to discharge a couple of weeks 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 ago actually at a point when we had discharged my Committee from further consideration of House Bill 24, which was the funding proposal for Northern Illinois University. I felt, at that time, what was fair for a House Bill is fair for a Senate Bill. And if we were going to move that Bill to the floor of the House, we ought to move Senate Bill 1 simultaneously. If this Motion fails, I will be happy to consider the issue in the Committee next week when we consider the other higher education budgets. But, as long as this Motion has been placed on the Calendar and is being called at this time, I'm pleased to support the efforts of the Sponsors. And I will move to discharge my own Committee on this Bill"
"Mr. Bowman, let me interrupt you for a second. The Chair recognizes Mr. Daniels for the purpose of an announcement."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, as discussed with you, it's my pleasure today to welcome the members of the Great American People Show which is an Illinois theatrical company that has made a name for itself with their wonderful original plays that bring to life one of our great Illinoisians, and that's Abraham Lincoln. This year is their tenth anniversary year; and, if you and your family have not been to see them perform at New Salem State Park, this summer would be a great time to do so, as would it be for all the other Members of the House. This General Assembly has been supportive of the efforts of the Great American People Show to promote Illinois and all of its great attractions. The Great American People Show certainly fits the Bill, allowing us to visit an important time in our history while enjoying Illinois' foremost historical attraction, the New Salem State Park. Mr. Speaker, I would like all the Members of the House to join me in recognizing director 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 John Ahart and the members of the Great American People Company; Doug Curtis, Benny Cannon, Bill Lynn, David Sylvester, Deb Brown, Rebecca Renzy, Tom Lawton, Pat Gaule, Dean Kharasch, Susanna Fleck, Doug Goetz and Cindy Hartman, and they are in the Republican side of the gallery standing up over here. If you'd all please join me in welcoming them to the Illinois House."
"Thank you, Mr. Daniels. At this time the Chair recognizes, at the podium, Representative Brunsvold, for the purpose of an announcement."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank the Speaker for a few minutes to introduce some very important people in my district. Mr. Clerk, would you read House Resolution 537?"
"House Resolution 537, offered by Representative Brunsvold. Whereas, the Illinois House of Representatives, in a continuing effort to recognize the excellence of young athletes, wishes to commend the members of the Rock Island Alleman High School girls' softball team, known as the Pioneers, on their successful 1985 season which culminated in their attaining first place in the Illinois High School Association Class AA State Softball Championship Tournament; and whereas, the Pioneers, in an exciting manner that became the trademark of this outstanding team, achieved new heights of overwhelming demensions as Coach Steve Ebner and Assistant Coach Deb Rogiers led the team to an impressive season record of 20 and 5, bringing the team to a State Tournament for the second consecutive year; and whereas, more of a family than just a team, the Pioneers became a closely knit conglomeration of athletes who faced and conquered adversity in many forms throughout the season to capture the first ever State Championship Tournament (sic - trophy) for an 800 student Catholic school; and 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 whereas, the team has been enthusiastically supported throughout this season by the proud students, faculty and friends of Alleman High School and has earned the respect of the people of the Rock Island community and of this state. Therefore, be it resolved that the House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois that we extend our heartiest congratulations to the Alleman High School girls' softball team upon their exceptional 1985 season and upon their first place finish in the State (sic - Class) AA State Championship playoffs and that we commend the coaches and players for their hard work and uncommon dedication to excellence. And be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this Preamble and Resolution be presented to Coach Steve Ebner on behalf of the entire Pioneer's coaching staff and team."
"Thank you, Mr. Clerk. It's been moved by Representative DeJaegher, seconded by Representative Sutker. We do adopt House Resolution 537. All those in favor 'aye', all those opposed 'nay'. The 'ayes' have it. The House Resolution is adopted. At this time I am very proud to present to you, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the Class AA Girls' State Champions - Softball. Let's give them a warm welcome. As Coach Ebner comes up to introduce the girls, I'd just like to say that the Alleman Pioneer girls' softball team was the smallest team in the Tournament, and I think that's a great achievement. Coach?"
"Thank you, Mr. Brunsvold, for having us here today. I'd like to introduce the girls to you just real quick if it's okay. Tammy Teters. Just put your hand up, Tammy, so they can see you. Lori DeSymter, Mindy Dessert, Krista Fosbinder, Jill Schneider, Melissa Keemle, Kelly Gorgal, Sue O'Keefe, Susie Tady, Katheleen Flynn, Karen Wilson, Kay 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Ryckaert, Andee Padgorny and Amy Brown. Again, thank you very much for having us here today".
"Thank you. And I'd just like to note this young lady right here is the pitcher. She pitched every game. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for the time in allowing us to introduce the girls."
"Back on page 23 of the Calendar, Senate Bill 1. Mr. Bowman wishes to take the Bill out of the record. Senate Bill 83, Mr. Vinson. Does anyone know if Mr. Vinson wishes to call this Bill? Mr. McCracken indicates that we should offer some special consideration to Mr. Vinson. Senate Bill 235, Mr. Homer. Mr. Homer? Mr. Homer, do you wish to call that Motion? The Chair recognizes Mr. Homer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen. Senate Bill 235 was up in the Consumer Protection Committee on Tuesday of this week. However, there were only seven Members present when the Bill was ready for hearing and, under the rules, the number of votes required for passage was nine. Therefore, it became impossible to conduct a hearing. And with that, Representative Turner, who was then acting Chairman, moved that the Committee be adjourned, and it was. So, I would ask the Body, because it was not possible to have a hearing on the Bill, to support the Motion for discharge so that this Bill can be considered before the full Body."
"The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Preston."
"Mr. Speaker, the Gentleman never mentioned this problem that he had to me from the start of Committee hearings until today. I have no knowledge. We had ample Committee hearings. Everything that was posted had many weeks in which to be heard. So I can't support the Gentleman's Motion."
"The question is, 'Shall the Consumer Protection 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Committee be discharged from further consideration of Senate Bill 235?' Those in favor will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Chair recognizes Mr. Preston."
"I'm sorry to take the time of the chamber again. Mr. Homer did now explain to me a conversation that we had had and I had misunderstood the meaning. And I apologize. So, I'm changing my vote to 'aye'."
"Mr. Turner."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was the acting Chairman..."
"Mr. Turner, the Bill now has enough votes to be discharged from the Committee."
"Fine."
"The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 77 'ayes', 32 'nos'. The Motion carries. Senate Bill 269, Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, 269 was in the Human Services Committee. And after a long delay and lack of Membership, it was determined that... you know, my Bill wouldn't really receive a fair hearing. And I would move that we discharge Human Services Committee. It's a good Committee, but, you know, it just had a lack of attendance."
"Is Mr. White in the chamber? The Chair recognizes the Chair of the Committee, Mr. White".
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I differ with the Sponsor and the statement that was just made. Sure, we had 37 Bills before us. He was third in line. I called his piece of legislation. He was not present, and I would strongly resist this discharge Motion."
"Representative Wojcik. Representative Wojcik."
"I'm here. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I wholeheartedly concur 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 with Chairman White's statement. There was ample time to present this. There was Committee present and the Gentleman did not ask to be called. Therefore, I do not... I move for its not passage."
"Those in favor of the Motion will vote 'aye', those opposed will vote 'no'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 12 'ayes', 93 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 300, Mr. Davis. The Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call the Motion. The following Motions on the Calendar, Senate Bill 612, Senate Bill 729, Senate Bill 849, these Motions were filed by Mr. Vinson, and the Bills have already been reported favorably to the floor. So, because of Mr. Vinson, we have expended cost in printing these matters. Senate Bill 935, Mr. White. Mr. White. Senate Bill 935. It's on page 23 of the Calendar. Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call the Motion. Senate Bill 1102, Mr. Vinson. Senate Bill 1431, Mr. Homer. 14... do you ... Mr. Homer, you... The Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call the Motion. The Clerk is prepared to close the receipt of Motions. Is there anyone in the chamber... anyone else in the chamber who wishes to file a Motion with the Clerk? The Clerk will now close the receipt of Motions.

"Are there any further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #3, offered by Representative Preston, amends Senate Bill 1200 as amended..."
"Mr. Preston. Mr. Preston."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Amendment #3 was discussed in Committee. What the Amendment does... The Bill right now says that a beneficiary... let me give you an example. If somebody's father should, God forbid, pass away and, as a result of medical malpractice, and there is a lawsuit for wrongful death that is filed and won by his heirs, and there are 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 three or four or five brothers and sisters who are given an award - and under the provisions of the Bill the award is to be paid over their lifetime, should one of those children die, under the Bill as it is currently written, the amount of money that child would have received right now under the Bill in its current status must go to the surviving brothers and sisters rather than go to the heirs of that decedent child, in other words, to devolve as per the individuals will or to his spouse or children, whatever the case may be. What Amendment #3 does is to provide that upon the death of that beneficiary, whatever amount he would have received had he lived goes to his heirs. He can leave his share to his spouse, to his children, the same as we leave our other property instead of it going to his brothers and sisters. And that's what the Bill does. It costs... It changes the Bill as far as physicians are concerned not one ioda. It doesn't increase their burden or decrease it in any way whatsoever. And I ask for your 'aye' vote."
"Mr. Daniels?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, as the Gentleman knows, there's been few Bills that have had greater discussion and efforts at compromise than the Bill before you. This is Senator Rock's Bill, and he's asked me not to have it amended any further. And, therefore, I would have to oppose this Amendment."
"Is there any further discussion? Those in favor of the Amendment signify by saying 'aye', those opposed. The Amendment fails. Amendment fails. Are there any further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #4, offered by Representative Preston, amends Senate Bill 1200 as amended on page four by changing line five to read as follows and so forth." 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985
"Mr. Preston."
"Mr. Speaker, on this Bill... Roll Call vote on this Amendment. What the Amendment does is..."
"Mr. Preston, I believe the rules provide that... for you to be entitled to a Roll Call, you must be joined by others."
"How many others do I need, Mr. Speaker?"
"I'm not sure of the exact number. Mr. Clerk?"
"Can I talk to the Bill now, Mr. Speaker, if I may?"
"Alright. Mr. Preston, on the Amendment."
"What this losing Amendment does, Mr. Speaker, is to clarify the language of the Bill which right now says that either the plaintiff or the doctor's lawyer may be able to be sued even without knowledge that his client has lied, misstated the truth in a pleading. So that if a physician should, for some reason, say that... denies all the allegations in a complaint and some of those allegations are found to be true and that the physician knew that those allegations were true, the other party can sue not only that physician who lied but his or her attorney. And the same would be true of a plaintiff. If the plaintiff should misstate an allegation, not only can that plaintiff be sued, but his or her attorney can be sued. The importance of that provision is... would be to require lawyers to really second guess and investigate their own clients, which is really contrary to the whole jurisprudence system in this country, since we want to have the free ability of a litigant, either plaintiff or defendant, to confide without fear in his or her attorney. All this Amendment does is say that you can sue the lawyer if the lawyer knew that there was a false admission or denial. And I'd ask for your 'aye' vote."
"Mr. Daniels." 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, Mr. Preston's concern is a concern that he has every good intentions; however, I would suggest, as we did before in debate on House Bill 1604 in defeating this Amendment, that what he basically is concerned about, I think, is very clear; that an attorney will not be held liable for false allegations of his client when the attorney's pleadings are done in good faith. And I would suggest once again that this is Senator Rock's Bill and he's not in favor of any Amendments. And, therefore, I would have to oppose this Amendment as well."
"Mr. Greiman."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I join Mr. Daniels only ... in this only because representations have been made by both Mr. Daniels and myself to the Committee that the clear intention of this Section is that Representative Preston's Amendment is not wrong but rather just unnecessary because it will be ... the knowledge will be required before a lawyer can be held liable. Obviously, the lawyer may have a responsibility to make inquiry... valid inquiry to his client and valid inquiry as to what his client has told him. But, nonetheless, he can... as long as he does not knowingly participate in this kind of wrong doing, he will not be held liable. We made that clear at the Committee level. I believe we make it clear on the record at this time, and so that the Amendment probably is not necessary."
"The question is, 'Shall this Amendment be adopted?' Those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. 'Nos' have it. The Amendment fails. Are there any further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I would like to have Senate Bill 102 given further consideration by the full floor. I move it to Second Reading."
"Chair recognizes the Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Farley"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would oppose the Lady's Motion in that we met for a full two hours and she was at that Committee hearing for all of that time that we did meet and never indicated that she wanted to call the Bill. So, I would say that this Motion is not in order at this time for discharge."
"Representative Didrickson."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I was there the whole time in that 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Committee and that was the problem, because all the Members with regards to a quorum were not there for me to appropriately call that Bill"
"Mr. Tuerk."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, what Representative Didrickson said is absolutely true. She was present the whole meeting. She had it on call. It was posted for a hearing that day. At the time that she was called to hear the Bill, there just wasn't a quorum. I think the Lady ought to have an opportunity to hear the Bill on the floor of the House. I would ask for your support for the Motion."
"Mr. McPike. Mr. Panayotovich."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I was the one that asked to waive the rules the other day to let this Bill be heard, and we waited around. We were in Committee again for two hours and the Sponsor also had a Resolution done at the end of the period. She never asked for the Bill to be called. And I definitely stand in opposition to this."
"The Lady has moved to discharge the Committee on Labor and Commerce from further consideration of Senate Bill 102. Those in favor will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 52 'ayes', 58 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 106. The Sponsor indicates he does not wish to call the Motion. Senate Bill 109, Mr. Van Duyne. Mr. Van Duyne."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move to discharge Senate Bill 109 from further consideration of the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Committee. As usual, at this time of the year, the Membership was all restricted 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 with them coming and going. We had numerous witnesses on hand; and, because of the time constraints, we couldn't get our proper testimony nor rebuttal to the Environmental Protection. So, I believe the Chairman will cooperate in my statements, and I move to discharge from Environment Committee Senate Bill 109."
"The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Kulas. Kulas."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Gentleman from Will is correct. He did have a hearing on the Bill yesterday, and it was an extensive hearing; however, there was... due to the... in our final weeks before deadlines are usually a problem with attendance. So, I won't oppose this... objection."
"Mr. Kulas, could you repeat your position?"
"I won't oppose the Gentleman's Motion."
"You do not oppose? Representative Koehler"
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in opposition to Representative Van Duyne's Motion to discharge the Energy and Environment Committee. Representative Van Duyne, as well as many witneses, had an opportunity to have their... that Bill heard. It was thoroughly heard. It was determined by the Committee that it was not a necessary piece of legislation. The powers for which they are asking they already have. It is duplicative, and that was very fairly determined by the Committee, and I would strenuously oppose Representative Van Duyne's Motion."
"Mr. Giglio."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would have to echo the remarks of Representative Koehler. I think that Representative Van Duyne did have ample time. There were witnesses that came down. And I 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1995 would ask those that are voting to consider a 'no' vote."
"Mr. Mautino."
"Thank you, Mr... Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to stand in support of the Gentleman's Motion to discharge Committee. I think it is a very positive approach. I'm not familiar with all of the circumstances surrounding the calling of the Bill, but what it does is allow county governments to regulate landfills and waste facilities. And I think it's a good proposal and it should be discharged"
"The question is, 'Shall the Committee on Energy and Environment be discharged from further consideration of Senate Bill 109?' Those in favor of the Motion signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 46 'ayes', 60 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 216, Mr. McNamara."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Senate Bill 216 was heard in the Subcommittee with only four Members present. I believe it deserves a hearing of the full House. It's a very important Bill. I urge that it be discharged from Committee."
"Mr. Keane, the Chairman of the Revenue Committee."
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Bill had a full hearing in Revenue Committee."
"Mr. Churchill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask if you could tell me whether this Bill is in a proper fashion to be discharged or whether or not it was placed in Interim Study."
"Mr. Clerk, what is the status of this Bill? Mr. Churchill, in the meantime we can... What is the 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 current status of the Bill? In the meantime, we can move to Mr. Woodyard."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. As Spokeman of Revenue Committee, I certainly want to go a little further than the Chairman of the Revenue Committee in which this Bill did receive a fair hearing in the Subcommittee on Revenue. And it did not receive the requisite number of votes. I really join also with Representative Churchill. I do believe this Bill has been placed in Interim Study and, thus, the Motion probably does not apply. But I certainly rise in opposition to the Gentleman's Motion should the Chair rule that the Motion is in order."
"Mr. McGann."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the Assembly, as a Member of the Revenue Committee, I stand in support of this Motion to discharge. I was not on the Subcommittee that handled it, but I was on the full Committee. And it's my feeling that he should have his opportunity for another hearing on this Bill. Thank you."
"There has been a parliamentary inquiry by Mr. Churchill. The Clerk has been unable to locate the Committee Report. Mr. Keane. Alright. The Clerk has just informed me that this Bill, Senate Bill 216, was put on the Order of Interim Study. Therefore, Mr. McNamara, your Motion is out of order. Senate Bill 372. Senate Bill 372, Mr. O'Connell"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 372 was up in the Judiciary I Committee. On the 12th... rather the 11th of June when we first met, it was our intention on the Committee to meet at 12:00 noon on the 12th... or rather the 13th of June. The proponents of this Bill indicated to me that they would like to have it called at that time. 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Unfortunately, we did not meet at 12:00 noon on the 13th, but rather we met again later on that day. The proponents were not available and the Bill was, therefore, not called. I have confirmed with the Chairman of the Committee and the Minority Spokesman, and they have no objection to this Motion to discharge."
"The Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee on Judiciary I from further consideration of the Bill. The Chair recognizes Mr. Dunn on the Motion. Mr. John Dunn."
"Why am I recognized?"
"Because Mr. O'Connell has moved to discharge..."
"Oh, okay. Alright. Mr. O'Connell and a few others were in Judiciary I Committee yesterday and we were, as most Committees, looking for a time slot and a location to continue a recessed meeting. At one point, we indicated to those present that Judiciary I would meet at noon today. Subsequent to that announcement, we received a final confirmation of time slot and location for 4:00 p.m. yesterday and no time slot for noon today. Not everyone and not every witness and not every Sponsor learned about that. So, some people honestly thought they could present their Bills at noon today, and I happen to know that Representative O'Connell was one of those. So, I would support his Motion to discharge to enable him to present the questions raised by that legislation before this Body. So, I would ask, as Chairman of the Committee, that we support his Motion to discharge."
"The question is, 'Shall the Committee on Judiciary I be discharged from further consideration of Senate Bill 372?' Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 111 'ayes', 2 voting 'no'. The Motion carries. The Chair recognizes Mr. McNamara for the purpose of a Motion."
"Yes, I move to suspend the Calendar requirement for Senate Bill 216."
"Gentleman has moved to suspend the Calendar requirements relative to his Motion concerning Senate Bill 216. Is there any objection? There being no objection, the Gentleman's... Is there an objection filed? Alright. There's an objection filed. We shall proceed to a Roll Call. Those in favor of the suspension of the Calendar requirement will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Chair recognizes Mr. Woodyard."
"Mr. Speaker, would you explain to the Body what it is we're actually doing right now? We are..."
"Yes. Mr. McNamara had filed a Motion to discharge the Revenue Committee from further consideration of Senate Bill 216. That Motion was out of order, because the ..."
"Because the Bill was in Interim Study."
"... take from the table. So now, Mr. McNamara is attempting to suspend the Calendar requirements so that a Motion to take from the table could be considered at this time. It requires 71 votes."
"What will be the posture of this Bill if this Motion prevails?"
"We would then proceed to Mr. McNamara's Motion..."
"Motion to discharge."
"... to take from the table. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 there are 66 'ayes', 49 'nos'. Mr. McNamara requests a Poll of the Absentees. Mr. McNamara, we may wish not to proceed with your request because there is one person voting 'present' and two absent. So you need 71, and the Gentleman withdraws his request. And the Motion fails. Senate Bill 440, Mr. Saltsman."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move to discharge Senate Bill 440 from Elementary and Secondary Education. I was late getting the Bill posted. I have talked to the Elementary and Secondary Education Chairman and Minority Spokesman and assured them if they had any problems with this Bill I'd leave the Bill die. Ask for its passage."
"The Chairman of the Committee, Representative Mulcahey."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I have no objections to the Gentleman's Motion."
"Gentleman has moved to discharge from further consideration. The Chair recognizes Representative Cowlishaw."
"I stand in support of this Motion. Thank you."
"Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee from further consideration. The Chairman and the Minority Spokesman have risen in support of the Motion. Is there leave? Leave is granted. Senate Bill 573, Mr. Ewing. Mr. Ewing. Mr. Ewing."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Bill was kind of caught in the switches at the very end of the Executive Committee hearing and did not get a Roll Call. And I have talked with the Chairman, and I don't think there's any objection to discharging the Committee on this Bill."
"Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, it's just another gratuitous move by 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 the Democratic Party, and I have no objection."
"The Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee. The Chairman has risen in support of the Motion. Is there leave? Leave is granted. Senate Bill 603, Mr. Ropp."
"Mr. Speaker, with your indulgence or leave, I have requested the discharge of Judiciary I and it should be Judiciary II."
"The Chair recognizes Mr. Cullerton."
"I would like to at least mention my concern first, after we've got that squared around. And I went to the Committee a little bit before 8:00 when the Chairman and I were in that Committee room alone, and I was speaking to him relative to three Bills that I had. One, he says, you're going to need a specific Amendment to exclude a particular large population county in the state, which I left the Committee to get that Amendment. And at 8:00 the Reference Bureau was not open. When I received the Amendment and came back and sat for some period of time, another Amendment that I had in the Appropriations I Committee was being called and so I left. Came back again and gave the 603 to Representative Olson to handle for me because the Executive Committee was going in to Session. And when I got back, I found out that the Committee had adjourned and 603 had not been called."
"Let the Members be advised that there is an error on the Calendar and that this Motion attempts to discharge the Judiciary II Committee. Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. It is true that we did not... we did not hear the Bill. However, there were approximately 50 other Bills that we never got around to. This Bill is, if I had an opportunity to vote on it today, I would have voted 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 'no'. It's a direct violation of the Illinois Constitution, and I think it's not a good idea to discharge the Committee."
"Alright. Mr. Hopp has moved to discharge the Judiciary II Committee from further consideration, and Mr. Cullerton, the Chairman, has stood in opposition. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 42 'ayes', 60 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 779, Mr. Churchill. Mr. Churchill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. On June 5, one week ago, I went into the Committee on Labor and Commerce to try and present Senate Bill 779. I was asked at that time if I would hold the Bill for a week by the Chairman of that Committee, which I agreed to do. This past week I came back into the Committee again and I was there before the Committee started. I went to another Committee, came back again. There was testimony going on so I left for another Committee. And I came back one other time and talked to the Chairman of the Committee. There was testimony on another Bill going on at that time. I explained to the Chairman that I was going to be unable to be there for few minutes because I had the next Bill up in Counties and Townships, which I did. I went to Counties and Townships, had my Bill. There was 40 minutes of testimony on that Bill, which, by the time that concluded, the Committee on Labor and Commerce had already concluded. This is a very important Bill. It's the same as House Bill 1730, which was Representative Mautino's Bill dealing with contributions among joint tort feasors. It's a Bill that's supported by the Illinois Manufacturers' Association and other business groups throughout the state. At this point 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 I would make a Motion to discharge the Committee on Labor and Commerce."
"The Chair recognizes Mr. Farley."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Gentleman is correct when he said that last week when we talked about calling Senate Bill 779 I indicated that, because of the great interest in the Bill and because of labor's opposition to the Bill and others, that I would like to sit down with him and those that are interested in the Bill, to sit down and try and work out some kind of way that we could have the Bill here on the House floor. That was the purpose for asking the Gentleman to hold the Bill for a week. We did meet... I did meet several times with those people that are interested in the Gentleman's point of view on this particular piece of legislation. They indicated to me at 11:00 yesterday that they could not come to the solution that I was suggesting and that they would have to proceed with calling the Bill. I indicated to them at that time that I was in opposition to the Bill. We went to Committee immediately upon adjournment and I indicated to the Representative and to others that I would call this Bill first so that it would have a full hearing. However, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the man was called away to another Committee. He did return. I indicated at that time that I would call the Bill. We finished our business with all the Bills that we had posted. Before the Committee adjourned, I called the Bill. I held the Committee. I waited for the Gentleman to come back. I gave the Gentleman who is the Sponsor of this Motion full and ample opportunity to have this Bill called. I wanted to call it first. I wanted to call it last. I wanted to call it in the middle, but the Gentleman never returned. I don't think, Mr. Speaker and 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, that the Gentleman's Motion to discharge Committee at this time is timely and is, in fact, out of order. And I would oppose the Gentleman's Motion to discharge Committee."
"Mr. Tuerk."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I would beg to differ with the previous speaker on his explanation. The Gentleman that's putting this Motion was in the room on three different occasions that day ready to hear the Bill. At the time that he was ready, willing and able to hear the Bill, there were other Bills under consideration and; therefore, he took his responsibilities elsewhere where he had Bills that he had to hear before Committees. This is an important measure. The Gentleman attempted to hear the Bill in Labor and Commerce on three different occasions that particular day. He wasn't able to be accomodated by the Chair. I think there was a little bit of irony in the statement that he gave him ample opportunity after he called the last Bill. I remember full that he... full well that he did call the Bill for the second or third time; but, at the point that he did call it, there was only a few seconds intervened at which time somebody moved to adjourn and that's what happened. I think the Gentleman ought to have an opportunity to hear the Bill, and I would support the Motion."
"Mr. Panayotovich".
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. First of all, I would like to know who is passing out materials here on the floor concerning this Bill, which I understand is illegal by House rules, first of all. And secondly, I also stand in opposition to this Motion because we can only hear one Bill at a time in Committee. The Gentleman did come, and he did come a couple 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 times, but he only stayed for a minute or two to find out if he had an opportunity to hear the Bill and we said we would get to it and we were going to get to it. We carried the Committee through. We listed to House Resolutions at the end. Representative Farley then called that we would stand at ease for a short period of time, which we did stand at ease for a short period of time, came back in, called the Bill two times. The Representative was not there, and we were adjourned. I stand in opposition to this Motion because he had ample opportunity to have the Bill heard in Committee."
"Mr. Mautino."
"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 779 is identical to House Bill 1730 which this Body discharged approximately four weeks ago but did not get the call as it appeared on Third Reading, and we did not get to it. It addresses the question of workers' compensation. And since this House did not have the opportunity in the House Bill 1730 to debate this issue to the fullest, I stand in support in discharging 779 so the House can make a determination on the 'Doyle versus Rhodes' case as it pertains to workers' compensation."
"The Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee on Labor and Commerce from further consideration of Senate Bill 779. The Chairman of the Committee has stood in opposition to the Motion. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 59 'aye', 49 'no'. The Chair recognizes Mr. Churchill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to poll the absentees."
"The Clerk shall poll the absentees." 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985
"Poll of the Absentees. Berrios. Breslin. DeJaegher. Homer. Krska. Kulas. Leverenz. And Preston. No further."
"Mr. Shaw."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, could I change... I'd like to change my vote from 'aye' to 'no'."
"Change Mr. Shaw from 'aye' to 'no'. Representative Zwick."
"Mr. Speaker, would you please change my 'no' vote to a 'yes'?"
"Record Representative Zwick as 'aye'. Mr. Countryman."
"Mr. Speaker, would you record me as 'aye'?"
"Record Mr. Countryman as 'no'."
"'Aye'."
"'Aye'. Record Mr. Countryman as 'aye'. Mr. Clerk, does the matter now have 60 votes? There are 60 'ayes'. Mr. Farley requests a... Mr. Brookins is seeking recognition to change from 'aye' to 'no'. The matter now has 59 votes. And on this question there are, Mr. Clerk, 59 'ayes' and 50 'nos', and the Motion fails. Senate Bill 890, Mr. O'Connell. Mr. O'Connell."
"Senate Bill 890 was before the Judiciary II Committee. There was a large volume of Bills. This Bill was amongst a number that were not called. I simply think that the Bill is important enough to have a full hearing on the floor of the House, and I move to have the Committee discharged."
"Chair recognizes Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. It is true that this Senate Bill 889... I'm sorry... 890 was not voted on in the Judiciary II Committee today. It was never called for a vote. However, when the 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 identical House Bill was called in the Judiciary II Committee twice it failed both times. So, the issue did receive a hearing when it was a House Bill, and it lost twice. And they couldn't discharge the Committee so now they had a Senate Bill which they didn't call. And so that's where we stand right now. The Bill deals with abortion."
"Mr. Cullerton."
"So..."
"Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes. So, I'm going to vote 'present' and those who usually vote on abortion issues, they may want to vote 'yes'."
"Oh. I see. Fine. So, Mr. O'Connell has moved to discharge the Committee on Judiciary II from further consideration of Senate Bill 890. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 74 'aye', 27 'no'. The Motion carries. Back to Senate Bill 889, Mr. Capparelli."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move to discharge Judiciary II Committee on 889. The Bill did fail today by one vote. I was not there at the time to express my feelings on this vote, and I would ask to discharge Committee on House Bill 889."
"Mr. Cullerton. The Gentleman has moved to discharge the Committee on Judiciary II from further consideration of this Bill."
"Yes, I believe this Bill received seven votes. You need eight votes to get it out. I believe I even voted for it and... but it did get a fair hearing. It did get a fair hearing."
"The question is, 'Shall the...' Mr. Greiman." 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985
"Merely that the issue and the focus on discharge Motions should be whether the legislation got a fair hearing. The Chairman has said it got a fair hearing. It clearly... the issue was ventilated as the saying goes, and we should defeat this Motion."
"The... Mr. Capparelli has moved to discharge the Judiciary II Committee from further consideration of Senate Bill 889. Those in favor of that Motion will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 85 'ayes', 26 'no', and the Motion carries. Senate Bill 1050, Mr. Stephens. Mr. Stephens."
"Yes, I'd like the Bill taken out of the record, please. Withdraw the Motion, excuse me."
"Gentleman..."
"Withdraw the Motion."
"Yes. The Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call the Motion. Senate Bill 1185, Mr. Soliz."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Yesterday, I went before the Human Services Committee to present this Bill, 1195. I was the last one called. My Bill was the last Bill considered. Unfortunately, several Members of the Committee, because they had other commitments, were not there when my Bill was considered, and I wasn't able to get the necessary votes to get the Bill out of Committee. This particular Bill is a Bill that would prohibit hospitals from denying admission to pregnant women in active labor if they can't pay. This is a particularly serious problem in some areas of the state where the nearest hospital is fifty miles away. And it would really jeopardize the health of the mother, as well as the fetus, if this particular hospital were allowed 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 to deny admission to this woman that's in active labor and pregnant. So, I would urge the Members of the Assembly to help me discharge the Human Services Committee to have this Bill considered on the floor. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. White."
"Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, this Bill was posted twice in the Human Services Committee. The first time the Sponsor did not appear. The second time he appeared and presented his Bill and was soundly defeated. So, I resist the Gentleman's Motion to discharge from the Human Services Committee."
"Representative Wojcik."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I, too, echo Mr. White's concerns and thoughts. He was given a fair hearing. He did have plenty of testimony and the Bill was defeated, and I do move for a 'do not pass'."
"Mr. Greiman."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I have been here a number of years, and I hear the buzz word and somebody gets up and says this is a right to life Bill and immediately everybody gets up and says, 'Oh, we've got to vote for that, okay'. If ever I have seen a right to life Bill, this is a Bill that deals with prohibiting a hospital from refusing to admit a pregnant woman in active labor because she is unable to pay for medical services. Now, I guess, that's what this is about. That's what this Bill is about. If that's not a right to life Bill that ought to get everybody marching to their green switch, I can't imagine what a right to life Bill would be. We're talking about a kid that's halfway out, and you say, 'Well, go find another hospital'. Now, if that's not a right to life Bill, then I don't know what is. So, right to lifers, let's get this Bill out on the floor." 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985
"Mr. Huff."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise and support Representative Soliz's Motion. I can't believe I heard Representative White correctly, and I support everything that Representative Greiman said. He's... it's absolutely right on course, and we should vote on the merits of this Bill."
"Mr. White. Mr. White."
"Since my name was used in debate, the only thing that I did, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, was to state the facts. I said that the Sponsor of the Bill came before the Committee once. The Bill was posted twice and because of... and the Bill was defeated the second time. I stood in opposition considering the fact that we work on the Committee system, and that's all I said."
"The question is, 'Shall the Human Services Committee be discharged from further consideration of Senate Bill 1185?' Those in favor will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 83 'ayes', 23 'nos'. The Motion carries. Senate Bill 1218, Mr. Berrios. For what... Mr. Ronan."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. Senate Bill 1218 creates the... First of all, Senate 1218 was heard in the Elementary and Secondary Education Committee. It received 11 'aye' votes. It needed 12. There was a problem in that there were some Members who wanted to vote for it, but they were not in Committee at the time. It creates the Educational Partnership Act and amends the Illinois School Code. It's part of the Hispanic Dropout Task Force recommendations. As we're all aware, there's a 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 tremendous problem of dropouts in the City of Chicago, and this Bill will allow for expanded educational options for tutoring elementary and secondary education students. I'd be glad to answer any questions concerning the matter and move for the discharge of Senate Bill 1218 from the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee."
"Representative Cowlishaw."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I stand in support of this Motion."
"Mr. Mulcahey"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I likewise support the Gentleman's Motion."
"Mr... Mr. Ronan, on behalf of Mr. Berrios, has moved to discharge the Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education from further consideration of the Bill. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 106 'ayes', 1 voting 'no'. The Motion carries. Senate Bill 1220, Mr. Shaw."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Senate Bill 20 (sic - 1220) was up in Committee yesterday, and due to all of the confusion and I was serving on other Committees, and the last time I was at the Committee hearing the Chairman announced that we would have a hearing this morning... or today. And I was looking forward to that. And come to find out, it was 4:00 yesterday afternoon. So, the only thing that I'm asking for here is that the discharge Motion where that the Bill can get a fair hearing."
"The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Dunn."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Gentleman Sponsor of this legislation was, in 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 fact, in House Judiciary I Committee yesterday morning and he may have been there when we did indicate we thought we had a 12:00 time slot today. There was considerable juggling back and forth between Judiciary I and Judiciary II Committees because of the overlap in Membership and the final decision was to recess the Committee till 4:00 p.m. yesterday. I sincerely believe the Sponsor did not know about that and he's entitled to a hearing on his Bill, which he did not have. I'm not sure I'll support the Bill ultimately, but I do believe he's entitled to a hearing and he didn't get it."
"Mr. Johnson."
"Well, as the Spokesman of that Committee, and I think the Spokesman of Judiciary II would agree, there's all sorts of Bills in the course of this last week that don't get, either for one reason or another, a full hearing. Nobody denied Mr. Shaw a fair hearing and nobody told him that he couldn't have a hearing. He, like a number of other Sponsors, is involved in other legislation in other Committees and they didn't get called. That's too bad, but I don't think that's a justification for discharging these Bills which, by the way, this and the next one provide for pay raises, in fact, pay raises for people whose... in '86 and '87 whose pay raise we just voted on that went into effect in 1985. And I don't think that's good policy, (a). And, (b), I don't think there's been any subversion of the legislative or Committee process that would necessitate discharging either one of these pay raise Bills."
"The question is, 'Shall the Judiciary I Committee be discharged from further consideration of Senate Bill 1220?' Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The 37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 47 'ayes', 60 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 1221, Mr. Shaw."
"Yes, 1221, it was the same as before. I went to the Committee meeting and it was announced at that time that we would have a Committee meeting today, Judiciary I would have a Committee meeting at 12:00 today. And that meeting was cancelled. And I think that this Bill should have a fair hearing, and I ask for your 'aye' vote."
"Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Dunn."
"Mr. Speaker, the Gentleman is, again, correct. There was an indication that we would have a recessed meeting today. We did not. It was 4:00 yesterday. So, the same discussion as applied to the last Motion would apply to this one."
"Mr. Johnson."
"Likewise, my comments that I made with respect to 1220 would be applicable to this and even moreso because this has a sliding scale now of two pay raises for people that we raised their pay last year effective this year. No one, again, denied Representative Shaw fairness or a hearing or anything else. I've lost Bills this year and I will... have in the past and will in the future simply because this process, for better or worse, doesn't allow us all to get all the places we ought to be. I'm not going to vote for it, and I would recommend that other people vote 'no' also."
"The Gentleman has moved to discharge the Judiciary I Committee from further consideration of the Bill. Those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 49 'ayes', 61 'nos'. The Motion fails. 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 I have been told by the Clerk that Senate Bill 1243 was reported 'do pass' by the Committee and; therefore, there is no need to call the Motion. Senate Bill 1262, Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Motion is to discharge Judiciary II Committee. I'm the Chairman of the Committee, and I have no opposition to discharging the Bill."
"Mr. McCracken."
"I'm the Minority Spokesman. I also have no opposition to this Motion."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Question of the Sponsor of the Motion. Did you get a fair hearing, John? Did the Chairman give you a fair hearing?"
"No, the Bill was called at the wrong time by the Chairman."
"Is there leave for the Motion? Leave is granted using the Attendance Roll Call. And let the record show that relative to Senate Bill 440 and Senate Bill 573, that when the Chair granted leave relative to those Motions, that the Chair used the Attendance Roll Call. Senate Bill 1428, Mr. Davis."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. Senate Bill 1428 had a hearing this morning in the Judiciary II Committee meeting. Actually it was early this afternoon. I received a vote of six affirmative votes to four negative votes, and there were only ten people in the Committee, and everybody was leaving to go elsewhere. So, I don't think it received... while it received a hearing, it didn't receive the attention that I thought due to it. So I filed this discharge Motion. I would suggest to you that simply said, if you're for capital punishment, you will vote to 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 discharge; and, if you are against capital punishment, you will not vote to discharge this Bill because it's a Bill that... that solves an inconsistency in the Capital Punishment Act due to a recent court decision. So, if you're for capital punishment, you will probably vote to discharge this; and, if you are opposed, you will vote to not discharge."
"Mr. Cullerton."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Gentleman is correct. He did receive a hearing. He did not get enough votes, and that's what the Bill does."
"Representative Stern."
"Mr. Chairman and Members of the House... Mr. Speaker, rather, I was present at that hearing and it seemed to me a perfectly fair hearing with due attention being paid by the Members of the Committee. It is not my understanding that a discharge Motion is appropriate simply because the vote went the way the Sponsor did not wish it. I urge you to vote 'no'."
"Mr. McCracken."
"I am in favor of the death penalty and the Sponsor of the Bill called it at a time when there was more than a quorum present. And the vote divided because of the issue and got a fair hearing."
"Mr. Davis has moved to discharge the Judiciary II Committee from further consideration. On that question, the Chair recognizes Mr. Van Duyne."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If you've ever appeared before any one of the Judiciary Committees, you know how picky that they can be. Senator Sangmeister does not send Bills out of the Senate that have a frivolous nature to it whatsoever. If the Gentlemen and the Ladies of this House 40 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 would possibly look at just the synopsis of this Bill, I think they might just be motivated to support Representative Davis' Motion. That's what I intend to do, and I hope everybody else does."
"Those in favor of the Motion will signify by voting 'aye', those opposed 'no'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 68 'ayes', 37 'nos'. The Motion carries. On the Order of Senate Bill 1123, the Chair recognizes Mr. Cullerton for an agreed Motion."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. On House (sic - Senate) Bill 1123, I was supposed to handle that Bill for Representative Laurino in Committee. It was on the agreed list. However, I simply failed to call it. And for that reason, I would move to discharge Senate Bill 1123."
"Is there leave? Leave is granted using the Attendance Roll Call. Chair recognizes Mr. McCracken for a Motion on Senate Bill 1281, which I am told is also agreed."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sponsorship of this Bill was changed without my knowledge to make me the prime Sponsor, and I did not learn of the Bill's existence or my responsibility for it until the Committee had met and adjourned for the Session. I'm told that Mr. Mulcahey, the Chairman of the Committee, is in agreement to allow this to be considered at this time."
"Mr. Mulcahey."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, the Gentleman is absolutely correct. There was some error in this, and I support his Motion."
"Is there leave for the Motion? Leave is granted using the Attendance Roll Call. The Chair recognizes Mr. Homer for the purpose of three Motions which 41 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 have been filed. Mr. Homer requesting Interim Study. So, Mr. Homer requests leave to place Senate Bill 1431 and Senate Bill 1442 and Senate Bill 522 on the Order of Interim Study. Is there leave? Leave is granted using the Attendance Roll Call. The Chair is prepared to adjourn. Is there anything further to come before the Body at this time? It is our plan to leave today and to return Tuesday at noon. Everyone should be prepared for some very long hours on the floor next week; because, when we return on Tuesday, we will have four days next week and one day the following week to consider all of the Senate Bills which are now on the Calendar so that we will need your attendance for these very long hours and we will need to move as expeditiously as we possibly can. So... Mr. Hawkinson is seeking recognition."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise for a Motion to commit Senate Bill 49 to the Order of Interim Study."
"Is there leave? Leave is granted using the Attendance Roll Call. Mr. McPike moves... The Clerk tells me we have some Agreed Resolutions. Mr. Clerk, read the Resolutions."
"House Resolutions... Joint Resolution 71, Bowman; 72, Bowman; 73, Bowman; and 74, Bowman."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, House Joint Resolution 71, Bowman; 72, Bowman; 73, Bowman; and 74, Bowman, all relate to Youth of the Year Awards. I move the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions."
"Those in favor say 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolutions are adopted. Death Resolution."
"House Resolution 529, offered by Representative McAuliffe, with respect to the memory of Jack Giangreco, 42 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 55th Legislative Day June 13, 1985 and House Resolution 524, offered by Representative Rice and Shaw, with respect to the memory of Mr. Tillmon Brown."
"You've heard the Death Resolutions. Those in favor say 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolutions are adopted. Mr. McPike moves that we stand adjourned until Tuesday at 12:00 noon, providing perfunctory time for the Clerk. For what purpose does Mr. McCracken seek recognition?"
"A proposed agreed Motion on Senate Bill 83. Representative Vinson's Bill that we passed earlier. Not agreed."
"And those in favor say 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. We stand adjourned until Tuesday at noon."
