"Mr. Ryder."
"Mr. Speaker, would you ask the Gentleman to repeat the question. I didn't hear it.”
"Yes. Yes. Representative Bowman."
"The question is in view of the fact that the Department of Rehabilitation Services is unable at this moment to authorize services for any of its clients, even the most severely disabled of its clients, why is that need not addressed in the supplemental appropriation before us?"
"Representative, it's my understanding that you have as much information about that as I do at this point. We just had the Department of Rehabilitation Services before our committee. In fact, just this morning, if my memory serves. As a result, I don't recall any conversation during that entire hearing that brought that to my attention. Therefore, since it was not requested, we don't put it in. I think they may share your feelings concerning supplemental appropriations three weeks before the end of Session. And as a res...as a consequence, they felt that they would...be constrained to live within that which they had been appropriated following the kind of fiscal leadership that you've given."

And that's because it was a...mix up. It was suppose to have been my Bill. Representative Black picked up the Bill and he became the Sponsor originally from the Senate, and I never really, really knew when the Bill was up in committee; and therefore, I didn't go to the committee because Representative Black was the Sponsor. Senator Jones asked Representative Black to give the Bill over to me. I've talked to the minority spokesman and Representative Black, and they are in support of this Motion."
"Mr. Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of the Gentleman's Motion. What he says is absolutely true. Senator Jones asked me to give that Bill to Representative Shaw. We changed the paper work, but I don't think the paper work ever caught up with Representative Shaw, and it certainly...he is...should not to be held at fault for this mix up. And I simply rise in support of his Motion."
"This matter shall be taken out of the record for a minute. Senate Bill 543, Mr. Williams."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, here we are...the reason for the 71 votes. Before we start, I'd like to appeal the ruling of the Chair about the need for 71 votes for immediate consideration of a Bill. What do I need to do to appeal the ruling of the Chair? So, I so do at this time."
"Mr. Williams, in response to your question. The Chair did not render a ruling. The Chair read from the Rules of the House. On page 37 of the book I have, which states that the Motion must be in writing and shall be carried on the Daily Calendar for the next legislative day under the Order of Motions. No action shall be taken on 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day June 8, 1989 the Motion until it is on the Calendar. And this subsection (b) may be suspended only by a Motion adopted by 71 votes. Mr. Williams."
"Mr. Speaker, in light of the reality of what we're doing here today, and we all know that the reason we did not know that we were not going to be in here tomorrow was because of this Bill. And this Bill was not given an opportunity to get on that Calendar; and therefore, I feel this is a Body that has a right to overrule even its own rules. And I would think that at this time, I would like to move that we move or rule our own rules based upon the fact that the fairness of this Body should be kept in tact. This Body has not allowed us to have an opportunity to even file the Motion a day in advance. We did not find out that we would not be in tomorrow to have the opportunity to file it to put it on the Calendar until such time as the House had already adjourned yesterday. And today I was not given that opportunity. I believe that at this point that we should have the right to at least appeal and change our own rules, if so be it. And I would ask that we be given a right to have a vote on that question. And if so, how many votes would it take to pass that question."
"Mr. Young."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would join the Gentleman in his Motion. I think what we're moving is that the rule you read from, Rule 77(b), does not apply in this situation where the Calendar that was distributed to the Members last week specifically indicated that Discharge Motions would be heard on Friday, June 9th. And it was not today when that Calendar was changed, so in effect, there's no opportunity to have the Motion appear on the Calendar. So, I would...I would join the Gentleman that that rule does not apply under these circumstances when there's been a last minute 19 54th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 8, 1989 change in the Calendar."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I would respectfully say to my colleagues that there is no way you can appeal rules. You can only appeal a ruling of the Chair. The only thing that the Body can do with regards to rules is to change rules. And there are procedures within the rules to change rules. I...we've done this many times since I've been in the Legislature, where we think we're going to leave on a given day, and then because the work is completed, we...we are through ahead of time. And I will tell you, I happened to be sitting next to the Chief of Staff in the Executive Committee yesterday, and believe me, leaving today was not due to anything. But I heard the conversation that the Clerk says it looks like we may get our business done on Thursday. And the Chief of Staff said if that's true, well, then we don't have to be here, but don't tell any Members because they may go home early. So it was the fact that we finished our work. That's why we're out of here. And believe me, I'm glad to go home. I'm glad to go home, but I just wanted to tell my colleagues that this is the only way. You can't appeal a rule. You can't appeal a rule. You just can't do it."
"Mr. Brunsvold."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we shouldn't be standing here debating suspending rules. This Bill was in my committee today. We...this piece of legislation was in my committee today. The Gentleman was in my committee. We adjourned 45..."
"Gentlemen. Gentlemen, just a second. Mr. Williams, you didn't follow policy in practicing rules either, so let the Gentleman speak."
"We adjourned the Constitutional Officers Committee 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day June 8, 1989 forty-five minutes early. The Gentleman was in committee, did not request that the Bill be heard in committee. I support the committee system and would object to him suspending the rules. And we shouldn't even be discussing the change of the rules at this time. So I would object to his Motion and ask that we not even discuss this. And ask the Gentleman to take it out of the record."
"Mr. Young."
"Mr. Speaker, I made a specific Motion, and my Motion was that Rule 77(b) does not apply. And I think we should take a vote on that Motion."
"The Gentleman has ruled that 77(b) does not apply, which, in effect, is a Motion to suspend the rules. And that Motion requires 71 votes. On that question, Mr. Young."
"Mr. Speaker, I would make the argument that that Motion requires 60 votes. We're not suspending a rule, we're saying because of the special situation of the Calendar being changed, that the rule does not apply. And I would ask for a ruling of the Parliamentarian or a ruling from the Chair as to how many votes it takes."
"Mr. Young, I direct you to Rule 83...(b). It's on page 38 of the book I have, which states that any rule may be suspended upon a proper Motion and an affirmative vote of 60 Members unless the rule affected specifies otherwise. And the rule in question does specify otherwise. The Gentleman had moved to suspend Rule 77(b). Those in favor of that Motion 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 61 'ayes' and 38 'nos'. The Motion fails. Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams. You want to go to the Motion? Yes. So the 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day Gentleman is requirement. at the Motion to June 8, 1989 suspend the Calendar And on that question those in favor of the suspension of the Calendar requirement will vote 'aye', those opposed will vote 'no'. This will require 71 votes. Mr. Williams to explain his vote."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House and Democratic Members of this House and Senate. This is probably one of the most serious Bills facing us, one of the most serious situations facing Cook County. For the Members of the Democratic Party, I know you've been told that we're going to give up the Supreme Court possibly if this Bill fails. But understand it, that in fact, what we're going to be doing is playing with this Party and we know it. I ask you to reconsider this. I ask you in all seriousness and I know, right now, what's going to happen. But I would say to all of the Members, that all we ask for is fairness, absolute fairness, for a lot of loyalty. I'd ask that you reconsider."
"Mr. Morrow to explain his vote."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I won't insult anyone here today, but I must say this. I've been a Member of a Party system. I've been a loyal Member of the Party system. Many people have insulted not only myself but the district that I represent and some of the comments in saying that I'm not loyal to the Party system. History has shown that we have been the most loyal of anyone to the Party system. We have been there when no one else would be there, when those who sent you here were not loyal to your own Party system. We have been loyal. We have supported candidates that did not deserve our support, but we were loyal to the Party system. All we ask that our loyalty be returned. We're going to lose this Motion. But don't forget, you will need our 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day June 8, 1989 loyalty again. Think about it. You will need our loyalty again. Let us hope and pray that when you need our loyalty again, that you remember this day. We have done SO much for the Party system, and to have someone turn their backs on us hurts. It hurts to a point that I almost don't even want to be a part of the Party system. For those who are true to themselves first, and then the Party second, reconsider what you're doing here today. Because as history has shown that we've been loyal, the future might not be so bright. Thank you very much."
"Mr. Homer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would point out that many of us voting on these issues, Motions to Discharge, vote on the basis not on the merits of the Bill, but on the question of whether the Sponsor had opportunity for a fair hearing in committee. We do that out of respect for the committee system. However, the Motion that's before us, as I understand it, is to suspend the Calendar requirement. That's a separate issue, and I think the Gentleman ought to have an opportunity to present his Discharge Motion so that we have an opportunity to know whether, in fact, he did receive a fair hearing. Based upon that, I think the appropriate vote on this particular Motion is 'yes'. I think the Gentleman should be entitled to have his arguments with respect to whether he received a fair hearing in committee. And for that reason, I'm going to change my vote from 'no' to 'yes' on this Motion and reserve judgement on the issue of whether he received a fair hearing with respect to the next Motion should he prevail on this one."
"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 66 'ayes', 30 'nos'. The Clerk shall poll the absentees." 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day
Clerk O'Brien: "Poll of those June 8, 1989 not voting. Bugielski. Countryman. Currie. Dunn. Mulcahey. McCracken. Capparelli. Davis. Granberg. Kulas. Levin. Martinez. McAuliffe. Novak. Richmond. Santiago. Stern and Terzich. No further."
"Representative Currie be recorded as 'aye'. On this question... Mr. Dunn, 'aye'. On this question there are 68 'ayes', 30 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 719, Representative Satterthwaite."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, when Senate Bill 719 was posted for committee hearing, I appeared and it appeared that committee Members had been instructed in regard to holding the issue in committee. Knowing the importance of the issue to the Senate Sponsor, I went in search of the Senate Sponsor to bring her to the committee to help to determine the fate of the Bill. Unfortunately, by the time the Senate Sponsor was available, the committee was no longer in Session, and we were unable to make that plea. And for that reason, I would hope that the Body would support my Motion first, to suspend the Calendar requirement relative to my Motion on Senate Bill 719, and then subsequently, to support the Motion for Discharge."
"This is a Motion to suspend the Calendar requirement relative to a Bill which was assigned to Revenue Committee?"
"Yes. Yes."
"Representative Currie."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is the computer software tax. I was not in the subcommittee when the event that Representative Satterthwaite described occurred, but if her explanation is accurate, I certainly intend to support her Motion, because I do support the underlying Bill."
"Mr. McCracken." 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day June 8, 1989
"In spite of the Democrats desire to commit Harry Caray on the tax issue this year, I'm going to ask my friends here to vote 'no' on this. This requires 71 votes for consideration. Let's beat it now and save the world from Democratic Tax Bills."
"Representative Frederick."
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true that Mrs. Satterthwaite came to Revenue Committee. There were not the votes there to pass the Bill. We had decided this was not a good Bill. We did not want it passed and I think we should defeat the Motion."
"Mr. Keane."
"I would rise against the Lady's Motion. We had plenty of time in committee. There was attend...full attendance on the subcommittee and the Bill was not presented. There was plenty of opportunity to present the Bill. And for that reason, I would oppose the Motion."
"Mr. McGann."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Assembly. I was the Subcommittee Chairman on the stated legislation of Senate Bill 719, and if Representative Satterthwaite wanted to have her Bill heard, she could have done so. She decided not to and left the committee room. I had her name listed on a list of Sponsors of Bills that were to be heard. She made her own decision and not the committee; and therefore, I rise in opposition to her Motion to discharge this committee. Thank you."
"The question is, 'Shall the Calendar requirement be suspended on this 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 17 'ayes', 81 'nos'. The Motion fails. Senate Bill 1388, Mr. 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 54th Legislative Day Cullerton."
June 8, 1989 "Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would move to suspend the appropriate rule for the...to consider the Discharge Motion for Senate Bill 1388. My understanding is that this is Representative Kulas's Bill. He's the Chairman of the committee that the Bill was assigned to, he did not call the Bill, and that he has the approval of this Motion by the Minority Spokesman, Representative Peterson...or Pedersen."
Pedersen: It "Mr. Pedersen." "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Bill was an agreed Bill. inadvertently was left off the list and not read into the record. I support the Gentleman's Motion."
"Those in favor of the Motion vote 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question there are 91 'ayes', 7 'nos'. The Motion is adopted. The Gentleman now moves to discharge the committee from further consideration. Those in favor of that 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 89 'ayes', 10 'nos'. The Motion is adopted. Agreed Resolutions."

Fine, let's go back and correct the record. And the record shall reflect that we will strike everything concerning the request for Interim Study and begin again. So the Clerk has received a request that the following Bills be placed on the Interim Study Calendar: Senate Bill 321, Senate Bill 994, Senate Bill 891, Senate Bill 611, Senate Bill 943, Senate Bill 464, Senate Bill 15, Senate Bill 454, Senate Bill 455, Senate Bill 458, Senate Bill 227, Senate Bill 543. This is a request that these matters be placed on the Interim Study Calendar. Mr. McCracken, in the air and spirit of cooperation a assents. Is there leave? Leave is granted. And all those matters shall be placed on the Interim Study Calendar. Anything further, Mr. Clerk? Providing some Perfunctory time for Committee Reports, Mr. McPike moves that the House does stand adjourned until next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. Those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. Motion is adopted. The 27 54th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 8, 1989 House stands adjourned until next Tuesday at 2:00 p.m."
