You want to go to a two year, and it's my understanding that already about 35% of the people do not respond when, when CMS calls them for an interview or a response. Tovards the end of that one year, wefre already seeing a 35 or 40% dropoff rate for whatever the reason. we extend to two yearsy a re we correcting a difficulty or are we just making it indeed nore difficult to find the applicants to respond?''

Black: ''Yes, thank you very much . and appreciate your efforts to bring about a little order and decorum , Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Black: ''I guess I can, 1 can understand that to the extent that those on the list who are still seeking employment with the State after one year obviously could either retest or, or get back on the list. guess my fear is if we go out two years on the list, some of those people are going to move away. Some are qoing to find employment elsewhere, and don't know whether we're doing our constituents a service or a disservice by making a, an eligible list good for two years rather than one year. think you're going to find so much turnover on that list that it may be absolute chaos finding someone to fill a position, say 15 months after the list was made, made valid . don't have any particular problem with your Bill, but 1, really tbink that that question needs to be addressed perhaps more diligently than it has, and 1 , appreciate your kindness and to Mr. Speaker, to the Bill. A, a similar Bill passed from this Chamber last year overwhelmingly, and that often occurs. I think that we simply need to ask ourselves before we vote on this, by making the eligibility list valid for two years, are we, in fact, helpinq our constituents or are we simply cluttering the list with those people who will not respond in that two year period when a vacancy occurs which may indeed make it more difficult to fill the position. 1 think you're going to Have to ask yourself that question before you vote. Obviously the Gentleman has had some success with this Bill in the past and 1, I think there's some questions that have not been answered.> Speaker Keane: ''Representative Hasara .'' Hasara: PThank you, Mr. Speaker. rise in opposition to House 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April 16# 1991 Bill 86 for two reasons. First of a11 we all know that we're in a very, very tight budget year and one of the things I keep hearing from b0th sides of the aisle is cut down on administrative costs. Cut down on administrative costs. House Bill 86 would add a great additional burden to the Department of Central Management Services in trying to contact hundreds and thousands of people who are no longer interested in State employment who would show up on lists that they would be required to contact. But even more importantly, am opposed to this Bill because it raises people's expectations that can simply not be met. I'm probably contacted by more than anyone else in this General Assembly by people lookin: for State employment. They will come to me and they'll say, 'Well, my name's been on the list for a security guard or janitor.' It's on the list along with 5,000 other people. And they think because theyfve gotten an 'A' on the test , and they're on a list, theyfre eventually going to be called and get a job and such is not the case. There are goinq to be fewer and fewer openings most of the positions that have the hundreds and thousands of names on them, and I think it is totally unfair to people to say to them, 'Oh, now we're gonna keep your name on a list for two years instead of one.' So instead of qoing out and looking for employment elsewhere, theyfre going to continue to sit and really believe that theyrre going to be called for one of these positions when we a1l know, Legislator or no Legislator, tbat there is no way that they're ever going to get one oi those jobs. Please vote 'no' on this Bill which would add to administrative costs and would mislead people. e Speaker Keane: ''Representative Martinez.' Martinez: ''Representative Hasara, while I appreciate your concern, I think the answer to this situation is the way 21  STATE OF TLLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April 16, 1991 that you as an individual look at this, at this attempt that I'm trying to do. Incidentally, I'm not looking to hire directors and such where you can classify as, we should cut down on bureaucracy. This isn't directed at people that category. This, we're, werre talking about the everyday individual, the average citizen that has been misled to apply and then find out that he's not eligible anymore simply because the time ran out.

Speaker Keane: ORepresentative Wennlund./ Wennlund: ''Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Floor Amendment 41 merely extends that the moratorium for a year and a half and not a five year period of time. The prior moratorium was a year and a half moratorium. We think it's more in line, and 22 kx  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Da# April l6, 1991 more, with the more responsible thought today that that moratorium only be extended in short periods oi time instead of a five year time period. lt merely extends the same as it did, the Bill that passed out of here two years ago for one year and a half instead of one year. We think it's a responsible thing to do because everyday incineration becomes more of a state of the art, and it's better developed and it's got to be someplace in the State of Illinois in which to dispose of hazardous waste. Currently, thereds, there's only one hazardous waste incinerator operating. Without that, it's gonna increase the cost of doing business in lllinois because a11 hospitals and everyone whols in the business oi producing and generating hazardous waste would have to ship it out of State at great cost. It cost ten times what it would take to dispose of hazardous waste here in Illinois. There merely has to be some method by which it can be done and by extending that moratorium for five qyears you take the risk and the possibility of costing Illinois business and costing Illinois jobs and costing Illinois money. So I think the more responsible thing to do is to extend to 1992 as opposed to 1996. It would be a year and a half extension the same as passed out of here two years ago. I move for its adoptionp'' Speaker Keane: ''On the questiony Representative McAfee. '' McAfee: ''Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. 1 rise in opposition to this Amendment.

Homer: eRepresentative Wennlund , I understood that the Illinois Hospital Association was opposed to the original Bill. Are you aware of tbat position?'' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Wennlund.'' Wennlund: ''The, yes is. It, the Illinois Hospital Association is opposed because they're generators of hazardous waste, everything from needles to vials and rags and things with possible contaminants in them, and it's hospitals who will, who will suffer as a result of this and until new hazardous waste incinerators can be built to dispose of hospital waste, puts a severe cost factor on, on health care in Illinois.'' Homer: ''Wel1, but, Representative Wennlund . is my understanding that the sponsor's spoken to the representatives of the Hospital Association and that he intends to present an Amendment which would exempt out medical waste from the Bill. If he were to do that, would that remove your objection or does your objection through this Amendment go beyond hospital concerns?'' Wennlund: 'Q t goes beyond those concerns. Tbe Illinois Farm Bureau is opposed to the, to the Bill. The Illinois State Chamber of Commerce is also opposed to the Bill, and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is opposed to a five year moratorium, because there are several other factors involved, and , and the Farm Bureau's opposed to it because they qenerate through the pesticides and, and other manufacture oi farm products, hazardous waste that needs to be disposed of, and as I mentioned, currently, there's only one place in Illinois, and that was shut down for a three week period of time, at which hazardous waste can be incinerated, so the bottom line is that we're going to have everybody from the Earmers to the business people in 24  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCR:PTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April 16, 1991 Illinois shipping hazardous waste, or what is classified as bazardous waste way out oi State , at, at, at ten times the COSV*11 Homer: ''We11, think that the Speaker to the Bill, 1 think the Gentleman 's Bill which attempts to, to extend the moratorium from the action taken last year which was until 1991, he wants through this Bill to extend it 'til 1996, and 1 think that makes some sense because there are significant environmental questions that have been raised concerning whether it is environmentally sound to incinerate hazardous waste, and think it would be imprudent of us to authorize this practice when these significant and substantial questions remain, and I think it's naive for us to believe that a complete and total resolution of that question will be here before December l of 1992. That is only about a year and a half away. I think there's a significant need for additional research to be done and the objection is that, 'well it'll cost more to dispose of it safely,f I don't think that's a very good reason to qo ahead and to aklow for the admission tnto our atmosphere of particles that are the byproduct of the incineration process when we're talking about hazardous waste . It makes sense to me then that we delay that, that we extend the moratorium until satisfactory answers can be made. I believe the Gentleman has a good Bill. I would suggest that we oppose the Amendment which would limit that moratorium to one additional year. So, would suggest that a 'no' vote on the Amendment would be the proper environmental and sound public policy vote.'

NRepresentative Balanoff.'' Balanoff: ''Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. also rise in opposition to the Amendment. have a hazardous waste incinerator in my district. I have the one 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DE3ATE 34th Legislative Day April l6, 1991 that Mr. Wennlund was talking about that has been shut down since February 13th. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency then, and before when it was operating, said that they posed an immediate threat to the health and safety of every man, woman and child, not only in my district but in many surrounding areas. Hazardous waste incineration as a technology is not safe. And. I would just say that the reasons for making it a five year continuation of the moratorium include the fact that there's no incentive then to try to find safe alternatives to the toxins that we're using in business and industry that must be disposed of. I think that the cost argument is absolutely ridiculous because you can't put a price on a human life. At least Klem Balanoff can't. Maybe Larry Wennlund can, but Klem Balanoff can't. So think that everybody on both sides of the aisle should vote against this Amendmento '' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Black.'' Black: '!Well, thank you. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and in a1l deference to my esteemed and learned colleagues on the other side of the aisler let me just point out that, if you adopt this Bill without the Amendment, so obviously I'n speaking in favor of the Amendment: there is a grave danger that you will find the State of Illinois out of compliance witb the United States Envtronmental Protection Agency: and for a11 of you, all of you on the floor , 1et me ask you something. If you extend the moratorium for five years, what are you going to do with that waste? What are you goin: to do with the waste? Well, let me tell you why the Farm Bureau is opposed to it and anybody who lives downstate or outside the collar counties should be opposed to it. tell you what they're gonna do with it, they're gonna farm it off downstate somewhere .

This Amendment is the environmental issue af heart. A fyes' vote on this Amendment is what the environmentalists want you to vote for and if you don't, when it goes into your district because you can't build an incinerator, talk to your constituents about why came downstate in the first place. urge an 'aye' vote on the Amendment.'' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Kulaso'' Kulas: ''Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. agree with the previous speaker. we don't have any place, we can't incinerate hazardous waste, what are we going to do with it? Maybe we'll send it down to Fulton County. I'm sure they'd like to have it. This is a terrible Bill. 1 mean let's face it , let's get our head out of the sand and face the problem . We have a problem in the State of Illinois not only with hazardous waste but with solid waste. Let's not dig our head deeper in the sand but let's open up our eyes and say , 'Let's face the problem.' Ië *e can't incinerate it, what are we going to do with it? Ship it to the moon? We can't do that either. So wbere's it going to go? Fulton County, downstate, McLean County, down by Carbondale. We'll ship it down there because we can't burn it. I'm sure that none of the previous speakers who spoke on this issue have ever seen an incinerator, have ever been through an incinerator, have ever looked at what comes out of an incinerator. But they speak against it because they don't know what they're talking about. Because it's 'in.' It's 'in' to be against incineration. Well, you gotta face the problem , Ladies and Gentlemen. If you want to close your eyes, vote, vote 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSS OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBKTE 34th Legislative Da# April l6, 1991 against this Amendment. But if you want to be realistic, vote for this Amendment.'' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Lang.'' Lang: ''Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this Amendment. The Amendment is obviously hostile to the Bill. When we talk about what we are going to do with this hazardcus waste, we extend the moratorium , : pose a couple of questions. First, what are we doing with it now? We seem to be handling the moratorium currently very well. And, secondly , it seems to me that we have a responsibility to the environment not to be incinerating this material into our atmosphere without knowing what the results are. There are still studies going on as to what hazardous Waste does in our atmosphere after it's been incinerated. seems to me that we would be irresponsible , completely irresponsible, to allow incineration of this hazardous waste into our atmosphere before we fully know its effects. Accordingly, the moratorium is a perfect way to do that. Once we, if we determine before the end of the moratorium period that there are no hazardous effects on the environment, we can rescind the moratorium at that time. It seems to me this is a bad Amendment. should be defeated.'' Speaker Keane: ''Any further discussion? Representative Wennlund to close.'' Wennlund: 'Tbank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Kulas was exactly riqht. The responsible vote is a vote 'for' this Amendment. This is not a hostile Amendment. lt merely reduces the time period down to the original one and a half years which it was a year and a half ago.

What would be 28  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April 16, 1991 irresponsible is to extend out to five years.

Ladies and Gentïemen of tbe 30  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April l6, 1991 House, Amendment 45 is a Bill that every Representative in this body should pay attention to if you have agriculture or agriculture is tmportant to your district as is to the State of Illinois. Illinois agriculture used to be, as recently as 1986, the second largest exporter...lllinois used to be the second largest exporter of grains in the nation. Since 1986, Illinois has fallen to the sixth largest, and that's because agriculture exports have decreased drastically over the last few years. Agriculture in Illinois is still a $2.64 billion dollar business in Illinois. That's what we export in agriculture products. Feed and grain products $1.1 billion. Soy beans $8.76 million. Wheat products $223 million. Illinois agriculture, as many of you know, has been drastically hurt in the last three years. What Amendment 45 does, restores to the exemption agriculture which means farming and al1 of its branches including the cultivation and tillage of soil and the production, cultivation, and growing and harvestin: of commodities growing on, on the land for which there is an export market. If you put the burden on the farmer in Illinois to pay time and a half for those young teenagers who go out and help them harvest and bail hay, you're going to put the Illinois farmer out of business. This Amendment would restore the exemption to those farmers who are grain exporters who grow crops that can be exported from the State of Illinois, and hopefully: it will give the farmers in Illinois the needed break that they need to once açain gain their status as one of the leading exporters of çrain products in the nation. This Bill is vital to make farming and agriculture the number one industry in the nation and in this State. This Amendment will restore the exemption from paying time and a half from the Minimum Waqe Law to farmers who use farm 31  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legiskative Day April l6, 1991 labor in harvesting and planting their crops. It's vital to Illinois agriculture and I would encouraqe every farmer in this Chamber to get up and speak in favor of this Amendment because it restores your exemption which the original Bili would have removed. Every farmer this Chamber ought to be concerned about that livelihood and his fellow farmers. The Illinois Farm Bureau, which is absolutely and totally opposed to the original Bill, as you can well imagine, and it's vital to the economy of this State, which agriculture plays such a vital role, that we restore the exemptton for grain producing products that are exported and for farmers who grow those products. A 'yes' vote on this Amendment is an important vote ior you, and, Mr. Speaker, when the time comes for a vote, I ask for a record Roll Call on this Amendment. A recorded vote , please.'' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Schakowsky./ Schakowsky: ''Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House . I rise in opposition to the Amendment. think it is unconscionable to exempt farmers, farm workers , from being paid for their work in the fields to bring our food to our table. Seems to me that the legislation which says that they do not get compensated ior overtime until they've worked 48 hours is, is concession enough to the people who work so hard in the fields. urge everyone to oppose this Amendment exempting farm workers.n Speaker Keane: ''Representative Olson. Robert Olsono'' Olson: 'Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of this Amendment. Unlike some of the speakers in the previous moments, am associated with agriculture. Agriculture is somewhat unique in hoW we utilize labor. Yes, during the busy seasons we may work more than 40 and more than 48. We may work 60 hour weeks. The time has long passed when we 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th tegislative Da# April 16, 1991 can go to the, into the local town and pick up part-time labor.

You have your opportunity on Third Reading on that.'' Ropp: 'Okay, let me just speak to the Bill then, Mr. Speaker. Members of the Legislature. T'm always intrigued at the fact that we have people who are telling other people exactly what to do. some of us have been farmers for a long time and sometimes feel that maybe legislation that deals with agrtculture ought to come from those people who have some impact. The sponsors of that Bill, I don't know whether Curran, Schakowsky, Balanoif, Flowers...Flowers miqht be a farmer, that sounds kind of like an agriculture product...but I just don't think that because we have people who really have taken advantage of the successes that agriculture has brought forth in their tremendous amount of efficiency and their ability to produce ought to be telling those people, 'Wel1, we don't want you to be quite be as efficient. We don't think you're doing a very good job.' And I guess 1'd question the logic of people who have really enjoyed the fruits of efficient farmers in 33  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESBNTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April 16, 1991 the state now puttinq an added burden on them when maybe they, too, don't understand the whole process by which they have enjoyed the high quality of fruit: the high quality of bread, and milk and other products that not only Illinois, but American iarmers have provided for them . So, I'd urge the support of this Amendment that once again puts logic back into a Bill that is a little bit unusual. '' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Curran.''

It is also my view that all of us: as subscribers to telephone services, appreciate the opportunity to reach people who, because of their limited income, may not be 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April l6, 1991 able to afford this subscription themselves. That line charge would have enabled Iklinois residents to access federal dollars. Each and every one of you knows that we're 44th in the balance of payments between the State of Illinois and the federal government this year. Passage oi this Bill ensures that we continue to carry on rock bottom. think therefs something unfortunate about the prospect of a, of an elderly individual with very little income unable to pay for telephone service, unable to call someone when she or he needs help: when she or he has fallen down. There's no way for that individual to reach 9ll or to reach any other helping or caring person. I think, unfortunately althouqh I appreciate the, the concern of individuals who felt that they were operating welfare programs, think there's something untortunate about this General Assembly falling in line with those who would deny the Link-up service and the opportunity that that service offers to save lives and provide help when it's needed. I think this is not a good piece of legislation.' Speaker Keane: ''Representative Ryder.'' Ryder: pThank you, Mr. Speaker. Although the surcharge , the line charge may have been well-intentioned. Although it may have some good consequences, the people in the district that 1'm lucky enough to represent told me loud and clear they didn't like No other issue had such a spontaneous, unorganized, and yet overwhelming reaction among the people of the 97th District as what this piece of legislation is designed to combat. When the people speak that loudly, when the people speak that clearly, think it's our job to listen and to support this Bill. As a Co-sponsor, :'m proud to do that. Thank you.u Speaker Keane: ''Representative Pullen.ff Pullen: ''Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the 37  STATE OF TLLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th LeGislative Day April 16, 1991 House. During the few açonizing weeks in which the ICC'S tax was imposed on people througbout Illinois, countless of the constituents in my district told me, 'You know it's not the money that counts. We know that l54 a month isn't a material amount, it's the principle of the thing. ' It's the idea of a tax being laid on them without any public input, without a vote of their elected representatives. And it is truly a tax that the Gentleman is seeking to prevent from happening again. I looked into the practices of some of the power utilities in Illinois, and I found out that Northern Illinois Gas has a program of voluntary contributions for those less fortunate by giving people the opportunity to add a dollar to their gas bill to be put into a fund to assist those who are disadvantaged and Northern Illinois Gas has done so well with this program , between the customers adding their dollars and the company matching it, that they've actually doubled the amount that a particular individual or family can get from their program every year, and the reason that it works so well and that has never caused a row is that it is voluntary. When we ask people to be charitable, it should always be asking, never forcing. The Gentleman introduced this Bill very quickly after this issue was brought to all of our attention. He is to be congratulated Ior his quick action and for his very qood Bill, and I urge its passage. Thank SCC *51

HRepresentative Levin.'' Levin: ''Would the Gentleman yield?'' Speaker Keane: ''He indicates he will.'' Levin: ''Okay. Ifd like to ask you the same question that I asked in Committee. The current Public Utilities Act prohibits cross-subsidization between classes of customers. It's your intention in sponsoring this legislation not to change 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April l6, 1991 the law but simply to clarify that with respect to this. Is that correct?'' Capparelli: ''Absolutely right.'' Levin: Hokay. rise in support of this legislation. lt has been the 1aw since 1923 that each class of customer should pay for their own service. There should not be cross-subsidization between different classes of customers. What the Commerce Commission did, as laudible as the goal was, in this situation was to require certain customers to pay a surcharge on their bills order to subsidize other classes of customers. That is something that is illegal now. It has been illegal under case 1aw and statutory 1aw since 1923. And this sponsor simply seeks to clariiy that it was illegal before and welre going to make doubly sure that it is not legal in the future . urge support for this legislation.'' Speaker Keane: *Representative Parke.l Parke: HThank you , Mr. Speaker , Ladies and Gentlemen oi the House. I too rise in support of this worthwhile legislation. It wasn't a few days after this idea was put on the phone bills of the taxpayers of this state that 1 went to a senior citizen prom, and 1 went from table to table talking to the people and every table , the senior citizens came to me and told me how much they were upset with this. Not in concept, because the concept has validity. 3ut that they were forced to do it and that they were fearful that this was the nose of the camel under the tent, and that they wanted to have the decision-making process of whether or not they wanted to give any of their money to other seniors. So,think the point here is that this is a qood idea and that it's voluntary, if they have a choice, that's what they want and I think this Bill should be passed.'' 39  STATE OF TLLINOTS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 34th Legislative Day April l6, 1991 Speaker Keane: ''Representative Black.''
