"The House will come to order. The House will come to order. Members will be in their seats. The Chaplain for today will be the Reverend Ophilis McCoy, Pastor of Grace United Methodist Church of Springfield. Reverend McCoy is a guest of Representative Mike Curran. Will the guests in the balcony please rise and join us for the invocation?"
"Before I give the invocation, Mike asked me just to touch on Sam Shapiro who died Monday. And just reading about him, how he has touched the life of both Democrat and Republican - you know, there is a Bible scripture in Genesis that a man lived to be 969 years, and that man's name was Methuselah. Here, Sam Shapiro was the Governor of this state just for seven months. And it isn't how long you live. It isn't the quantity of life, but it's the quality of life that you live, and it seemed like that Sam Shapiro had that type of life that God gave him; that he was a humble man; that he was a loving man; that he was a kind man. And one of the poems that I love so much is a poem by Rudyard Kipling it says that, you can walk with kings and never lose the human touch. Kindness is one of the attributes of love and certainly when a person has love, he certainly has to be kind. And so, we pray to God that his soul will rest in peace and thank God that he walked by this way. And some of those who are younger ones out here in the House, some of you who are younger ones, that you will pick up... pick up the mantle that he dropped. Let it fall on you that you who have given your life to serve in the Legislature that you will be the kind of person that he was. That if even you serve one term, it won't be the quantity that you will serve, but it will be the quality that you will serve. Let us bow our heads in a 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 18, 1987 word of prayer. Eternal God, we lift our eyes unto the hills. From whence come our help? Our help come from the Lord who made the Heaven and the earth. And He who keeps this Legislature does not slumber nor sleep. He's able to preserve you who have come in and you who go out. And I pray for each man and for each woman. I pray that you would put your hand in God's hand and that you will let Him walk with you and talk with you and be your guide. The wise preacher said, 'Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy path.' And so, I pray that you will put your hand in God's hand and walk on in your duties. Walk on by faith. Walk on with courage. Walk on with hope. Hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will of God which says, hold on. Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kindom come, Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kindom, the power and the glory, forever. Amen."

Whereas, the Illinois General Assembly has enacted the State Mandates Act in which the General Assembly states: The General Assembly finds that preceding actions of the State Government in specifying the manner, standards, and conditions under which public services are rendered to citizens by the political subdivisions of this state on occasion have not resulted in equitable relationships between the State Government and its local political subdivisions. Some of these actions have dealt in detail with the internal management of local governments, others have specified the establishment of new services and facilities without providing any new revenue sources or any financial participation by the state in meeting the additional costs; still others have specified the adoption of higher service standards without a full assessment of the impact upon local expenditures and tax rates; and whereas, the General Assembly has on repeated occasions 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 18, 1987 enacted legislation which has necessitated the expenditure of funds by local governments without a source of replacement funding therefore and which has been specifically exempted for the State Mandates Act, be it, therefore, resolved by the House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois, the Senate concurring herein, that there shall be submitted to the electors of the state for adoption or rejection at the general election next occurring at least six months after the adoption of this Resolution, a Proposition to amend Section 8 of Article IV of the Constitution to read as follows: Article IV. Section 8. Passage of Bills. (A) The enacting clause of the laws of this state shall be: 'Be it enacted by the people of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly.' (B) The General Assembly shall enact laws only by Bill. Bills may originate in either House, but may be amended or rejected by the other. (C) No Bill shall become a law without the concurrence of a Majority of the Members elected to each House. Final passage of a Bill shall be by record vote. In the Senate at the request of two Members, and in the House at the request of five Members, a record vote may be taken on any other occasion. A record vote is a vote by 'yeas' and 'nays' on the Journal. (D) A Bill shall be read by title on three different days in each House. A Bill and each Amendment thereto shall be reproduced and placed on the desk of each Member before final passage. Bills, except Bills for appropriations and for the codification, revision or rearrangement of laws, shall be confined to one subject. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (e) (2) of this Section, appropriation Bills shall be limited to the subject of the appropriations. A Bill expressly amending a law shall set forth completely 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day March 18, 1987 the Sections amended. (E) A Bill which would require the expenditure by a unit of local government or school district of funds in order to implement, that Bill shall not become law unless either: (1) the Bill passes with the concurrence of at least three-fifths or the Members elected to each House or (2) the Bill passes with the Concurrence of a Majority of the Members elected to each House and the Bill contains a provision for reimbursement to the unit of local government or school district of funds necessary for implementation. A Bill passed under this Subsection (e) (2) shall not be subject to actions by the Governor under Subsection (d) or (e) of Section 9 of Article IV of this Constitution but shall be subject to actions under Subsection (a), (b) or (c) of that Section. For the purpose of this Subsection (e), unit of local government shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Article VII, Section 1 of this Constitution. (F) The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate shall sign each Bill that passes both Houses to certify that the procedural requirements for passage have been met.
