"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is an amendment to the Illinois Lobbying Act. Now the lobbyists think that it's some trick to get them in trouble. That's not what this is about at all. This is a Bill, an amendment, I should say, to the Lobbying Act, which seeks to find out how much it costs and how much society pays to make public policy. That's what this Bill is about. Some years ago I commissioned the legislative counsel to do a study to compare Illinois, with its loose lobbying Bill, with California and Washington. We found that in a relatively similar period California reported $49,000,000 in lobbying expenses. In the similar time we acknowledged about $38,000. $49,000,000 for them, $39,000 for us. The reason is because this Bill calls upon people who hire lobbyists to file and to make a clear explanation of how much they spent. Now, let's not kid ourselves. I'm a Representative here and I like to think that I'm kind of a gunner because I'm elected by 100,000 people or so, and I go home and they say to me as I walk down Oakton 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 Street, they say, "Hello, Representative, how you doing?', and then I come here and they say, 'Al, the Whip and Buggy Lobby says uh-uh to your Bill., and that's the end of it. So and So, the lobbyist says, 'Uh-uh", and that's the end of it. And that's for me and that's for you and that's for everybody here. So the truth of the matter is that they make public policy. Now I disclose my campaign contributions. This Bill provides, now there's two Amendments. I will tell you that. This Amendment is the tougher Amendment. Amendment 1 is the tougher Amendment. Amendment 2 is the easier Amendment. Amendment 1, which is this one, requires people who are lobbyists to keep accounts. To know how much is being spent on lobbying. To know what the expenses are on lobbying. To lay out, by the way, if you've gotten several thousand dollars to lobby, that's not a Ma and Pa little friendly operation. That's somebody who is really lobbying. To lay out, for example, if there is a threshold of so much money that is spent on a legislator. You know, its a crazy thing. We're the only people in the whole world, in the whole world, that people come and give us money and spend money on us and we're expected to ignore them. We're expected not to think that they're some quid pro quo. Now everybody here knows different than that. This is the time that we ought to speak out. Now what's going to happen here is, this kind of Bill as we look at say, well, we don't need it. Then we're going to have a scandal here in this state, in some state, in the Federal government, and there's going to be 118 Cosponsors to some Bill like this. I want to let you get in on the early sale, on the early action. This Bill has another aspect. Now, when I came here when Stephen Douglas was in Illinois Politics then, and I think Lincoln was running for the Senate, they had one person that would 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 come out here from some agency of state government. One person, that's all. And maybe he would say...he'd be here for a budget, you know. I sit up there in that Chair sometimes and it looks like the mob scene from Quo_Vadis. There's hundreds of people from government agencies here on the floor of this House. I think we ought to know how much they spend, is spent, for them to lobby. How much public money do we spend to lobby you guys. I think that is something we ought to know. Now Mr. Ropp, the Gentleman from McLean, he says, "Why do we want to know all that information?" Well, maybe knowledge is power. Maybe that's worthwhile. Is there somebody on the floor of this House that thinks that those tobacco companies, which ever side you're on on the smoking issue, those tobacco companies judge whether public spirited citizens want to discuss cancer and smoking here. Or maybe you think General Motors just had a just sort of an interest in highway safety and dropped down a couple years ago when we were doing the seat belts. Don't you want to know that? Don't you want to know how much Chrysler and General Motors paid for that? The Gentleman from McLean says, why, he doesn't care about that. I think we should care a great deal about how much it costs to make public policy in this state. If there is any Bill that talks about the ethics of the legislature and government, it is this one. We sat here in this room and the Governor of Illinois said, "One of the issues we're going to address this year is ethics." Now I haven't seen a lot of Bills coming by my desk dealing with ethics. But this is a chance, this is an opportunity to do that. No one is interested in hurting the lobbyists. We just want to know what it costs in America, what it costs in our society, to have government lobbyists and to have the public make public policy. Thank you." 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day
May 11, 1987 "The Gentleman has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 178, and on that question the Gentleman from McLean, Representative Ropp."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. It has been my intent for the last couple of years to provide an opportunity for incoming legislators, as well as those who have been around for some time, to become better acquainted with the some 600+ lobbyists that we have in the State of Illinois. I have attempted to address the situation as did the State of California, when they, in fact, had lobbyists pay a small fee of some $10, as I am proposing in this legislation, so that we, in fact, can publish a booklet, through the Secretary of State's Office, and determine by visual picture, as well as their name, who everyone is that is serving as lobbyists in the Illinois General Assembly. And I am saying that I think it is a very good idea. The situation is, however, that the individual that is attempting to address this by amending my Bill, a Bill that he has been trying to get on for a number of years, that has failed every year since he has attempted to introduce it, I think deserves some concern on behalf of this Body to allow a Bill to be presented in the manner that the chief Sponsor wants. The Sponsor of this Amendment is saying that he wants to determine, to determine how much power, how much power and authority is given through the lobbyists and the influence that they have in this Body. Ladies and Gentlemen of this Body, I am telling you that I am questioning whether or not, who's going to use this so-called power that is being determined through this Amendment. Will it be potentially the Speaker of the Illinois House? Will it be the Sponsor of this Amendment, who, I have been told, rarely receives any money from the lobbyists because of his concerns for their good 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 favor. I guess I'm asking you, as Members of this good Body, to not support this Amendment so that I, in fact, as well as other legislators, can determine who is a lobbyist and how we can identify them with a picture. It is a very simple Bill and I am saying that if you want what the Sponsor of this Amendment wants so badly, then you support his Bill when he introduces it, for if you support it now, you're not going to get what he wants, I can assure you. I welcome your support to not support this Amendment and I would ask for a Roll Call vote."
"The Gentleman from Livingston, Representative Ewing."
"Madam Speaker, I wonder if the Sponsor would give us a little more than very beautiful platitudes on what's in all his righteousness, and tell us what's in his 16 page Amendment. I'm sure it must have some specifics. I don't think its written in such flowery terms as he described it."
"Representative Greiman, Representative Ewing asks that you..."
"Sure. Sure. I'll be glad to. First off, it requires, makes some definitions of who are lobbyists and what's legislative action. And by the way, it also raises it up to non-representative situations where a lobbyist is lobbying at the Executive Level, as well. We think of lobbying as only as lobbying here, but if it is lobbying for the, for the General...at a higher level, in the Executive, it covers that lobbying as well. And that's a new twist. It requires that if they get $1,000 or more semi-annually, that would be $2,000 a year, then they have to register. Okay. It expands, as I said, lobbying to include, for those people who have to report, those government agencies. It also requires that people who hire 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 lobbyists over a particular amount have to do that. And it requires that gifts of over $300, of over, I think its $300 or $500, in a semi-annual period, have to be reported. My God, don't we believe that if somebody gives a legislator $500 bucks we ought to say something, it ought to be someplace? I think we should. It provides a method of enforcement. Right now we have very questionable enforcement methods of the present Lobbying Bill. This allows it to be enforced in a sensible way, on a state-wide basis through the Attorney General."
"Representative Ewing."
"Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I appreciate the answer. I think it serves the point that I want to make. This Amendment was a Bill. That Bill, I guess, didn't get out of Committee. I don't know what happened to it. But we have a very elaborate committee structure in this House, in fact, it's SO elaborate it's difficult to keep up with it, but that's why we have the committee structure. This Bill, or this Amendment becomes the Bill, is SO complicated, SO involved and SO comprehensive that if the Committee, the Democratic controlled Committee didn't let it out, why should we, as thinking people, add it to another Member's 3i11. I suggest that Representative Ropp is absolutely right when he suggests the right vote on this is a 'No' vote. And if it is such a good idea. if it's such a good Bill, why doesn't that Sponsor take it back and try and run it through the Committee again."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bowman, on the Amendment."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. In regards to the last speakers point, that's a very interesting point. I noticed, when I came in this 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 evening, on the top of my desk was an Amendment sponsored by Representative Daniels containing some airport regulation language which did not get out of committee either. I trust that the Gentleman from Livingston will rise in opposition to that Amendment when the time comes to consider it. In any event, we will, we will see. The point I want to make with respect to this particular Amendment, however, Ladies and Gentlemen, is simply this. Consider your own legislative agenda, and then consider how many Bills you drafted yourself. How many Bills were given to you to introduce by lobbyists. How many Bills have you introduced at somebody else's request? You know, when the size of the House of Representatives was cut from 177 to 118, the number of Bills filed actually increased. And you know why the number of Bills filed increased, instead of decreased. That's because most of the Bills that we consider originate with some interest group or some lobbyist. So lobbyist are actually, in some ways, if you look at it that way, more important to the legislative process, perhaps, than legislators themselves. I think it's only appropriate that we have legislation like this on the books if we, as legislators, are required to file economic disclosure statements, I think it is only fair that lobbyists have to file disclosure statements as well."
"The Lady from Cook, Representative Parcells."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I am the Minority Spokesman on the state government..."
"Excuse me, excuse me, Representative Parcells, Representative Harris, for what reason do you rise?"
"Inquiry of Chair, Madam Chair. Is this Bill on Short Debate."
"It's on the Order of Short Debate, but that 11 43rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 11, 1987 only applies to debate on Third Reading."
"I see, thank you."
"Representative Parcells, please continue."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am the Minority Spokesman on the Committee in which this Bill was heard. It was heard once and died badly. The Sponsor then amended it and it died again, and by his own admission he has run this every year for three or four years, and every year this Bill dies. Lobbyists, presently, fill out a great deal of information. Anybody that's interested can go see that, just as they can go see your records. This is a very far reaching Bill. It digs into state agencies as well as lobbying. They already provide a great deal of information. This is a matter of, as the Sponsor said himself, of having the power to know how much money it took to pass the Seat Belt Law. Well, let's say it took $53,000. Does that matter if it was $53,000 or $62,000? No, it's the knowledge of knowing it and the power that gives you and how this power will be used is very questionable and I encourage you to let this Bill die, this Amendment die, and leave Representative Ropp's very fine Bill to run on its own merit. The Bill died twice. Let's have it, the Amendment die here on the Floor."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton, on the Amendment."
"Yes, very briefly, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I recently looked at the Illinois Lobbying Act that we have on the books. In one respect its very, very tough. There's a, it's a Class III Felony, a Class III Felony, if you are a lobbyist and you do not register with the Secretary of State's Office. And the definition of lobbying is very broad. If you in any way attempt to influence someone in their vote, you must be 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 registered. If you don't, it's a Class III Felony. And, of course, the main reason for that is so that we, as legislators, have an accurate list of who the lobbyists are and their mailing list SO we can invite them to our fundraisers. After we make it a Class III Felony for them to not tell us how to get in touch with them to invite us to our fundraisers, it's a joke. This Amendment, if you don't like this one, the least you can do is vote for the next one. We have nothing at all, nothing at all, comparable to the very tight system that we have as legislators having to report our income. The same thing should be true with regard to the lobbyists. So if you don't like this Amendment, you're going to have to vote for the second one. It's a very important vote, I think, for, for your district, because I think people in your district, when they see how you vote on this, are going to want to know why you voted against it."
"The Gentleman from DuPage. Representative McCracken."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield for some questions?"
"He indicates that he will."
"Representative, let me give you an example, and you tell me if the reports would have to be made. If the UAW were giving funds to candidates for office, would the source of the money and the identification of the recipient be required?"
"If they were giving it for lobbying, or for political contributions?"
"For political cont..."
"For election. This is election...this is lobbying. It's not election. So that if, for example, the President of General Motors gave a campaign contribution to 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day Representative Daniels, or someone May 11, 1987 like that, or Representative Madigan, he would not have to tell where he had it. Because that's a campaign contribution, but lobbying is something else. explaining where he got it. What you would have is not him You would have General Motors, or the UAW, filing a file, filing a report, saying, "This is how much we spent for lobbying." So that you would have the people who hire lobbyists also filing reports. I hope that was clear enough."
"Well, it was clear that my example was not going to be covered under the Bill. What would constitute lobbying? Is that defined in the Bill?"
"Yes."
"And is it defined to exclude political contributions, or is it your interpretation or intent that it exclude political contributions?"
"But we cover that in the Campaign Disclosure Act. These are two separate Acts, and they're separate now. We would not, this would not include campaign disclosures. It has nothing to do with campaign disclosures. Nothing at all."
"Is the act of lobbying which would trigger the applicability of this Act, is it defined in the Bill?"
"Yes."
"And will you explain briefly what that definition is?"
"It is communicating directly, or soliciting others to communicate, with any official in the Legislative or Executive Branch, for the purpose of influencing legislative or administrative action. That's in the Bill. It's been construed in California and Washington courts."
"And has it been construed to not include campaign contributions? Is that it?" 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987
"Yes, it would not include, it would absolutely not include them. We have a Campaign Disclosure Act which expressly and explicitly includes and describes political contributions."
"Now, how does this differ from Amendment #2. I heard Mr. Cullerton speak, but I...didn't understand."
"Alright. Yes. Amendment #1 regulates the lobbyists, state government and the people who pay lobbyists. Amendment #2 regulates, takes out the lobbying, and in other words, it leaves how we regulate lobbyists the same as it is now. So it just adds people who have to report. In this case, Amendment #2 would add governmental agencies and people who hire lobbyists. Those, too. And it leaves how we regulate lobbyists themselves in the same way. Because, and it was, by the way, in response to the major complaints of the lobbyists, I tried to respond to their complaints."
"Now, would the UAW, assuming the activities it asks someone to engage in, would it have to file that report you're referring to the employer of the lobbyist?"
"I think it would, yes. I think it would, absolutely."
"Okay."
"I hope it would. I sure hope it would."
"Okay. So that, for example, that union, if it had a lobbyist, would have to identify the amounts paid him?"
"Absolutely. Absolutely. What they had to pay lobbyists. Absolutely."
"Okay, and is that all it would have to do, just state the amount paid the lobbyist or would it have to identify
"Have to identify lobbying, what it pays to lobby."
"And what does that include?"
"Well, it's in the Act, you know. you have all those 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 fellows over there. Let me see if I can quickly get it. It requires persons other than lobbyists, in Section 10 of the Act, to file statements relating to people it employed or money spent or payments of $250 or more a month to influence legislative or administrative action. That's what it basically does."
"Okay. Would the activities of, for example a person on contract to the Minority Leader or the Speaker, or to the General Assembly, I suppose, if he were later engaged in activities trying to pass laws for the authorization or issuance of bonds, would that person be considered a lobbyist. Would he have to file a lobbyist report. Do you have some sort of conflict of interest in here?"
"If he's a member of the legislative staff, he would not, he would not. If he becomes a lobbyist, he has to...I hope he's registering like every other lobbyist. I mean, that's in the law today, Tom. I hope that person, whoever he might be, who used to be on the staff, and now is lobbying, has gone through the revolving door. I hope that person is registered as a lobbyist."
"Okay. Thank you."
"There being no further questions, Representative Greiman to close."
"Yes. Thank you. Least you worry, I believe in Representative Ropp's important Lobbyists Registration Information Book. That has the pictures. I myself was in a yearbook, high school, 1949, and I went to the Prom. and I'll go to the Lobbyists Prom, now that we have a year book. The truth of the matter is that I have found a way to bring together labor and management. That the labor lobbyists and the lobbyists for business equally despise this Bill. Equally feel that it is somehow intrusive on them. But this Bill is the single most important aill, in 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 a way, in telling us what really moves things in our society. What really shakes the things in our society. And, as I said before, much as I like to think that I have real impact, I understand that there is another impact. It's an important Bill. I think it's a Bill for good government. I think we believe in opening the process, and we ought not to wait until there is a scandal in lobbying. As far as some of the other questions, this is not a Motion to Discharge. We bring up adverse amendments all the time. You'll see it all the time. And the fact that I fought for it before and lost, you're darn right. And we'll keep fighting for it, but I think it's going to pass now, this year. Thanks."

Amendment #2 incorporates Amendment #1, which was adopted in Committee, and that makes some additional provisions. It provides that the Secretary of State is required to issue confidential plates to all public safety and law enforcement personnel, and the confidential plate is to be defined as a registration plate issued to a motor vehicle in accordance with the vehicle code, but cannot be traced through the Secretary of State's records. It provides that vehicles issued the confidential plates, those aforementioned people in the public safety and law enforcement personnel, shall pay a one time fee of $8.00, and this fee is consistent with the fee paid by vehicles owned and operated by counties, township and municipal corporations. So the main thrust is that it will allow the plates to be obtained for $8.00, rather than have to pay the higher amount. It is consistent with the other vehicles owned by local government. I move for the adoption of the Amendment. de happy to answer any questions."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. A few moments ago I was accused of mumbling an Amendment that I read as distinctly and as slowly as... and articulately as possible, to explain what my Amendment did. If I just heard correctly, I heard the Sponsor of the Amendment say, "I move for the Adoption of Amendment 1." And that was it. Now, that's not even mumbling. That's worse than mumbling. That's... what is that? I don't know what that is. I think it's a nothing Amendment. I think it's probably a good Amendment, but I think he should at least say what it is. Because, one of these times an important Amendment might come along and he could say, "I just move for the adoption." And we might be sleeping at the switch."

"And you think that if we don't put that in there that it will be defective?"
"Funny you should ask. Representative O'Connell came over on a different Bill and suggested that we had to define the term 'child', so I think, probably, it is a good idea, because in different areas of the law, it's different ages, 18 and 21. So it's probably a good idea." Cullerton:
"Good. So it's under 18, not 18 or under, is it?" "Under the age of 18 years, right."
"So it would be 17 or under."
"Correct."

There is no fiscal impact. and the rules, I just discovered, Rule 34, says that the fiscal note either has to be supplied or determined to be inapplicable, and I would like very much, Mr. Speaker, if you would call 1146 for the Parliamentarian to look at this and see whether or not a fiscal note is applicable in this case.

"Are there any Floor Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #1, offered by Representative McCracken."
"The Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken, on Amendment #1."
"This deletes the word 'shall' and inserts, in lieu thereof, the word 'may', thereby making the Bill permissive. It's not a minor Amendment, but that's all it does. I move its adoption."
"The Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken, moves for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 1656 and on that the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Levin."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in opposition to Amendment #1. What the Bill will attempt to do is to get some coordination between the various agencies in the executive branch, and this is a problem we've had for several years. We keep coming in with legislation and we keep passing legislation to require coordination where somebody is coming out of a mental institution for... what the Amendment does is, in effect, guts the Bill. This legislation attempts to bring about coordination by mandating it. To make it permissive, simply allows them to continue doing what they have been doing. So I would oppose Amendment #1."
"Further discussion? And on that, Mr. McCracken to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Department wishes to provide this coordination, it is free to do so under the 41 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 Bill. Apparently the practice has been that the Department is unable to process its application until the applicant is actually released from either the Department of Mental Health or Department of Corrections. This will allow it to overcome that problem, and for that reason, it should be adopted."
"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 be adopted?' All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, nobody has it... alright, in the opinion of the Chair, we'll have a Roll Call. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open.

"If we don't have it distributed, how can we table it?"
"Because it's filed. Mr. Piel?"
"Yes. I ask the Gentleman to withdraw his request, I mean we're still sitting here, I mean it's obvious we're going to be coming back to these Bills and there's going to be very few of them left on Short Debate. I mean the Lady has filed on a timely manner. It just so happens that there are a lot of Bills, or Amendments, being drafted. And it just doesn't happen to be on the Floor at the present time. I mean, if he wants to kill, then kill when it's brought out. It's not a situation where he won't have a chance to have his Bill heard again. I mean, if we were sitting here the last hour of the last day, I could understand his motion. But I would ask him to withdraw it at the present time."
"Mr. Levin."
"Yes. I would just say that I'd be happy, you know, to move it to Third Reading if there, you know, if we're able to reach agreement on any problems that Representative Wojcik has. I'd be most pleased to bring it back. Given all the Bills we have, this may be my only opportunity to move this Bill from Second to Third."

May 11, 1987 "Third Reading. Yes, Mr. Piel, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I was just wondering, looking at the Calendar, it asks that a fiscal note has been requested. My question is, "Has one been turned in to the Clerk?"
Speaker Greiman: "Mr. Levin, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

Sutker. Speaker Greiman: "The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Sutker."
"Proceed with Amendment 33. Mr. Speaker. This Amendment defines physical handicap. It was an Amendment which was requested by the industry and which I complied with. It clarifies specifically, within the terms of the House Bill, 44 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL AS SEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 how physical handicap is defined. I ask at this time for the adoption of the Amendment."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Sutker, moves for the adoption of Amendment #3 to House Bill 1717, and on that, Mr. Churchill, the Gentleman from Lake."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Gentleman yield?"
"He indicates he will yield for questions."
"I'm sorry, Representative, I didn't quite hear your explanation of the Amendment. Would you do that again?"
"Amendment #3 defines the term 'physical handicap' and it defines the term within the provisions of the House Bill, itself. It was requested, asked for, by the members of the industry. Some of the major insurance companies wanted physical handicap to be defined and they recommended that it be defined within the terms of House... of the House Bill before you. I complied with their request and Floor Amendment #3 provides for it."
"Okay. So they... line 3 in the Amendment, which refers to Section 143.24(a), is the line to which you are referring that brings in the definition of physically handicapped."
"That's correct. If the... the Bill as originally presented merely had physical handicapped. The industry claimed that that term was too vague and too uncertain for their purposes. I agreed that I would define it within the House Bill itself, which had previously been before the Committee, and which had been approved. This, I think, satisfies all of their concerns and at the same time, provides completely for the purposes I had when I submitted the House Bill."
"Thank you. No further questions."
"Further discussion. There being none, the question is, 'Shall this Amendment be adopted?' All those 45 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 in favor say 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"House Bill 1663, a Bill for an Act to amend the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Second Reading of the Bill. No Committee Amendments."
"Are there any Floor Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #1, being offered by Representatives Parcells and Harris."
"The Lady from Cook, Ms. Parcells, on Amendment #1. Mr. McCracken, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"There's a fiscal note that has been requested."
"Mr. Bowman?"
"Yes. Mr. Speaker. I would appreciate it if the Parliamentarian would examine the Bill. The LRB did not stamp the cover indicating a fiscal note might be appropriate. My own view is that a fiscal note is not appropriate, and I would appreciate it if the Parliamentarian would examine the Bill to see if the Gentleman's request is in order."
"Mr. Speaker?"
"....Please put Mr. Bowman. The Parliamentarian, the Chair, does not rule on issue without there being a Motion. Motion, however, is appropriate to be made."
"Okay. Then I move to suspend the Rule 34, which 46 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 requires the fiscal note, because, in this case, I believe it is not appropriate. The underlying Bill merely requires certain information to be provided in the Budget. This is information regarding pension funding and the degree of funding of the unfunded liability. This is information the Bureau of the Budget should have. If it doesn't have, at the present time, it's not doing its job. They should be able to put their hands on, at a moments notice. There is no reason why this should require a fiscal note. The LRB did not stamp a fiscal note request."
"... Rule 34. The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Bowman, moves to suspense with the filing of a fiscal note with respect to House Bill 1663, and on that the Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken."
"Point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Is the Motion in writing? The Motion, I assume, is not in writing and I... It's out of order."
"Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Is there a Motion in writing? The Clerk advises me there is a Motion in writing."
"Very timely, really. Thank you."
"The question is, 'Shall the Motion be adopted?' Those in favor say 'aye', ... Did you wish to speak, to address this, Mr. McCracken?"
"Yes."
"Alright, Mr. McCracken, proceed."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Bill requires the Governor to include in his Budget Address to the General Assembly various recommendations, discussions, all of a financial nature. These requirements for his speech, and I presume this is the thrust of the Gentleman's question, is just that he include within a speech that he already has to give, some additional information. I submit to you that 47 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 the creation of this information in a form usable by the Governor for his Budget Address, has to cost money, and for that reason, the Fiscal Note Act is applicable. The Gentleman seeks only to move the Bill. He doesn't want it to sit on Second Reading tonight. I can understand why, because pretty soon we're going to go to the special orders of Call and then none of our Bills will be called, and I sympathize with the Gentleman. However, it is not inappropriate to have a fiscal note filed on this Bill and I ask that the Motion not be adopted."
"The question is, 'Shall the Motion be adopted?' All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment... the Motion is adopted. Now, Mr. Clerk, on Second Reading, read the Bill."
"House Bill 1663, a Bill for an Act to amend the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Second Reading of the Bill. No Committee Amendments."
"Any Floor Amendments."
"Floor Amendment #1 is being offered by Representative Parcells."
"The Lady from Cook, Ms. Parcells, on Amendment #1."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Amendment came out of the Citizens Council on Economic Development. It was suggested and supported by Representatives DeJaegher, Granberg and myself, and what it would do, would be to amend the Civil Administrative Code to provide that the Governor's annual budget shall include certain information as to the impact of Federal funding reductions upon state programs. An example would be the removal of Federal Revenue Sharing and its effect on local road projects. And I move for its adoption." 48 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987
"Representative Breslin in the Chair."
"The Lady has moved for the adoption of Amendment #1 to House Bill 1663, and on that question the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"She will."
"So this also, then, would require the Governor to provide some information in his Budget, just like the original Bill?"
"I can't hear you, Representative."
"This Amendment, then, they way this fits in with the original Bill, the original Bill, Representative Bowman's Bill, requires the Governor to submit certain information in his Budget. And along those same lines, your Amendment would require..."
"A limited additional information, such as the impact of Federal funding reductions on our state programs."
"You think it's going to require a lot of state money for the Governor to prepare this information?"
"I would have no idea."
"What's your... what's your informed guess? You intent is not to run up the cost of state government by having the Governor include in his Budget Message..."
"No. I would like to know what the impact is and I have no idea what it costs the Governor to prepare his Budget now. So if this would add to it or not, I don't know."
"Probably doesn't effect it at all. Now, was this the subject matter of a Bill this Session?"
"Yes."
"How did it do?"
"It was suggested by the Citizens Council on Economic Development." 49 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day
"How did the Bill do?"
"How did the Bill what... ?"
"Is this... Is this kind of the theory of collapsing... Are you collapsing your Bill into Representative Bowman's Bill?"
"That's what we'd like to do, yes."
"Fine. Well, it sounds like a fine idea."
"Thank you."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Bowman."
"Well, thank you. Mr. Cullerton just made the point that I was going to make, that this was... this Amendment was a Bill which was presented to State Government Administration Committee and it failed in Committee, and it may be a worthy Amendment but that's something that I think everybody ought to take into account."
"The Gentleman from DuPage, Representative McCracken."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would just remind the Membership that Representative Greiman's Bill, which failed in Committee, was adopted as an Amendment. I don't think that the mere fact that a Bill didn't prevail in Committee should unduly color your perspective on this. Please look at it, consider the merits. It's a well thought out concept and important to be adopted."
"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 be adopted?' All those in favor say 'aye'. All those opposed say, 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it and the Amendment is adopted. Are there any further Amendments?"
"Amendment #2, offered by Representative McCracken."
"Representative McCracken."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Amendment #2 would make 50 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987 the requirements set forth in the original Bill not mandatory, but permissive."
"The Gentleman has moved for the adoption of Amendment #2, and on that question, the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Cullerton."
"I don't believe it's been distributed. I think it was just recently prepared in the last three minutes."
"The Bill has not... the Amendment has not been printed and distributed, Representative McCracken. Do you wish to hold the Bill, for that Amendment? Representative... it's Bowman's Bill, Representative Bowman, what is your pleasure?"
"I move to table Amendments 2 and 3, neither of which have been printed and distributed."
"Representative Bowman moves to table Amendments #2 and #3, and on that question, is there any discussion? Representative McCracken."
"I think they are being distributed right now. Is it... am I mistaken?"
"You are mistaken."
"Okay. I'm sorry. No. No. That wasn't it."
"Representative Bowman has moved to table Amendments #2 and #3 to House Bill 1663. All those in favor say 'aye'. All those opposed say 'no'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it and Amendments #2 and #3 are tabled. Are there any further Amendments?"

"Representative McCracken asks leave to present Representative Daniels' Amendment for him since the Gentleman is not on the floor."
"Oh, I have no problem with Representative McCracken handling the Amendment, but the Amendment is not germane, so at the appropriate time I would like to question the germaneness of the Amendment."
"That's fine. Representative McCracken, then, does have leave to present Amendment #1 to House Bill 1798."
"Thank you, Madam Speaker. This adds a provision to the Bill creating the Regional Airports Planning Authority and defines its powers and duties. And I move its adoption."
"Very good. Representative Cullerton on the Amendment #1."
"Yes, I would simply question the germaneness and ask the Parliamentarian to look at Amendment #1." 53 STATE OF ILLINOIS 85th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 43rd Legislative Day May 11, 1987
"Representative McCracken."
"Madam Speaker, I think it's been the history of this Body that germaneness is defined both by the Chapter or Chapters amended and by the relatedness of the subject matter. I would submit to you that, under the test of relatedness to the subject matter, this certainly qualifies. This may amend the Foreign Trade Zone Act, but, in fact, authorizes the greater Rockford Airport Authority to apply to the Federal government for various authorities. The fact of the matter is, is that the Authority itself has powers that are being granted to it. This would create a similar airport authority and defines and grants powers to it. And under that test of germaneness, certainly qualifies."
