"Yes."
"Representative Black, where does this Amendment come from and what is the genesis of this Amendment?"
"The genesis, quite frankly, comes from my district. We 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 created an enterprise zone, some two and a half or three years ago, attempting to save a rather large industrial manufacturing plant. Now a very small city, in which that plant is located, wants to levy a utility tax within that village. It would impact this manufacturing facility to the tune of $15 to $20,000 a month, which may negate the enterprise zone and may lead to the plant closing."
"So, this would deal with your district only?"
"You mean? I'm sorry."
"Is this going to cover all TIF districts?"
"I don't think so. I think it's only...it was supposed to be drafted to only cover enterprise zones. As it is drafted, it would cover every enterprise zone in the state, obviously not retrospectively."
"Yes. Does this...Is there any opposition to this...?"
"I'm sure the village in question would oppose this most definitely."
"But, you're for it, of course?"

House Bill 844, as originally 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 introduced was simply a shell Bill and...but it did have a purpose and that has now all been worked out and that is what is contained in Floor Amendment #1, which becomes the Bill. Amendment #1 simply requires that the State Board of Education shall annually file, with the General Assembly, a list of mandates that apply to schools, the date of inception of each mandate or an approximate date if that one is not known and the annual estimated costs of implementing each mandate. The first report must be filed, March 1, 1992, and subsequent reports each March 1, thereafter. I have provided copies of this Amendment to all of the people who generally attend our elementary and secondary education committee meetings including the IEA. There is no opposition to this Amendment, and I move for its adoption."
"Representative Cowlishaw, I'm not certain that anyone could hear you, there was so much noise. Did you want to explain the Amendment again?"
"Not really, Mr. Speaker, but if you think that's essential I'll be glad to do it. This Amendment provides that the State Board of Education shall annually file. with the General Assembly, a list of mandates that apply to schools. All mandates, except those that have to do with elections, the date of the inception of each mandate and the annual cost, at least an estimate of the annual cost of implementing each mandate. We hear a great deal here about school mandates and how much they cost, but there are an excessive number of them. Well, actually, I think we probably need to keep track of that from one year to the next, and yet no one has ever provided us with a report that tells us what the mandates are now and that next year we can see what the new ones are that we had added. First report must be filed, March 1, 1992, subsequent reports on 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 or about March 1 of each year thereafter, and I move for the adoption of Floor Amendment #1 to House Bill 844 to which there is no opposition."
"Representative Homer."
"Thank you. Will the Lady yield?"
"Yes."
"Representative Cowlishaw, what... the Bill came out as a shell Bill, out of committee?"
"Yes, Sir."
"Is this the ultimate purpose you have in mind for the Bill?"
"This is the only purpose.. Absolutely, the only purpose that I have in mind for this Bill, Representative Homer. This whole discussion about what the mandates are, whether they're objectionable or whether they're not, and this kind of a distinction between, 'Well is this a good mandate or a bad mandate?' I think, Representative Homer, it has bothered me for a long time that we don't really have a handle on that. We don't really have a comprehensive listing that says, 'Here's the mandates that you have already imposed upon the schools; here is when they were originally imposed and here is an estimate of what that is costing.' I think that information would be truly valuable to everyone of us and that is why I am asking that the State Board of Education be required to put that kind of report together once a year and submit it to the General Assembly."
"Do you know how much this will cost the State Board?"
"I've already checked with the State Board of Education and they tell me that they have ample information, that is just a matter of sort of plugging certain things into the computer and there would be no additional cost above and beyond of course the staff 13 53rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 20, 1991 members they already have to provide this report, but, Representative Homer, I would be less than honest with you if I did not explain that there is a second Amendment to this Bill. My intent is only that this Amendment should be adopted and this should become the Bill, but there is a second Amendment that is offered by Representative McCracken."
"Pardon me?"
"Are you going to oppose that Amendment?"
"As a matter of fact, partly because Representative McCracken is not here, I'm going to ask that that Amendment be withdrawn."
"Sounds good. Thank you. I support the Lady's Amendment, Mr. Speaker."

"Speaker, it's the Lady's Bill, but there is a second Amendment, and I may suggest that it would be appropriate to go ahead and call the second Amendment and then it could be held on Second Reading. There's a Floor Amendment #2."
"Yes, Representative McCracken has that Amendment, and I didn't want to call it because she was excused. Well, Representative Cowlishaw, the Bill has to stay on Second Reading anyway."
"I am aware of that, Mr. Speaker, and in that event I think perhaps we could just deal with the second Amendment 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 later, if Representative McCracken has some burning desire."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This measure was presented in the Higher Education Committee earlier this year, and at that time the Sponsor indicated the need for this pilot scholarship program. However, the Sponsor, in presenting the Bill, established that the pilot program would be set up in ten communities, around the State of Illinois, and it just so happened that all ten of those communities were in areas that were represented by Members on the other side of the aisle. It seemed to me that in a bi-partisan manner, that the appropriate thing to do was to have the program, pilot program, not only operate in those districts, but also in districts here. This Amendment is one of several that. would hope to give that bi-partisan flavor to what I'm sure is a very good idea with a pilot scholarship program. I would ask for adoption of the Amendment?"
"Is there any discussion? Representative Shaw."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Certainly this is a pilot program and when the schools were named in the Bill, there was no intent on my part to...I don't even know where the schools, whether they are Democrat or Republican and as far as I'm concerned, they're all bi-partisan and certainly I oppose this Amendment and 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 I'd ask for the defeat of the Amendment. This is a pilot program, and I think it would be good for Illinois, but not with this Amendment."
"Representative Hultgren to close."
"Thank you."
"I'm sorry. Excuse me, Representative Homer had his light on. Mr. Homer."
"Thank you. Will the Gentleman yield?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Representative Hultgren, maybe you should explain the...I understand your Amendments add high schools from your district. What is the Bill? What is the Pilot Scholarship Program Act provide? What is that?"
"Are you asking for the Pilot Program Act or are you asking about the Amendment?"
"No, I understand your Amendment modifies the Bill, but maybe you could help your Amendment by explaining what this pilot program is."
"Certainly. It provides a four-year tuition and fee need based scholarship to qualified graduates of five Chicago and five downstate high schools, and as I indicated just a moment ago in presenting Amendment #1, I observed when this was before the Higher Education Committee, that all five of the schools in Chicago, and all five of the schools, downstate, were located in districts that are represented by Members on the other side of the aisle. In an attempt to make this a bi-partisan program, I suggested a series of Amendments that would make these need based scholarships available in all parts of the State and not simply in the districts that are represented by the other side of the aisle."
"Well, what's distinguishing about this scholarship? I mean...who is this designed to help? It's a pilot, 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 scholarship program, for what type of students?"
"It is designed to help those students who have a need, from qualified high schools. Perhaps, the question would be better directed to the Bill's Sponsor inasmuch as my Amendment doesn't address the substansive nature of his scholarship program."
"I understand that and I realize it might not be fair to ask you to explain his Bill, but you want to add some more schools to the inclusion of that Bill, and I don't understand what kind of students are being targeted. It seems like the eligibility criteria of the Bill would apply to students throughout the State of Illinois. What is...I don't see what is unique about the schools that are listed?"
"Again, I didn't select the schools that were listed in the initial Bill, and I think I would have to defer your question to the Bill's Sponsor."
"Wouldn't it be better just to go ahead and then adopt Amendment #10, which is the Amendment that Representative Cowlishaw has that makes the program available to all students of all public high schools?"
"Well, certainly that would, Representative, that would bring about that sort of bi-partisanship that I was seeking. Then of course if you adopt Amendment #10, it's really no longer a pilot program and I was hoping to, with my Amendments, keep the Bill according to the Sponsor's original intention of a pilot program rather than a new statewide scholarship program which is really what Amendment #10 contemplates."
"So, these...this Amendment is your Amendment and...but you got several following Amendments...that...that go up through number 9 and each of them would add additional schools?" 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day
May 20, 1991 "That's right, but still keep the program limited, so that I didn't do any injustice to the Sponsor's original intention of creating a pilot program rather than a new state-wide scholarship program."
"But, I don't look to..."
"I'm not trying to undercut his original intentions by creating a new scholarship program, but rather making it a limited program for just a few pilot high schools."
"Right, but I looked through your list of Bills or your list of high schools that you want to add and would ask you, with respect to each of these proposed schools you are going to add, are they all in districts that are represented by Republican Members?"
"I believe that's correct."
"How did you develop that list?"
"We were looking for some geographic distribution throughout the State of Illinois and with some downstate districts in much the same fashion that the Sponsor had come up with the original five downstate districts, downstate sites."
"Well, somehow, I think that Amendment #10 is preferable to these specific Amendments. I notice in each that none of your ten Amendments add any schools from my district...but I guess we can take them on an Amendment. I would recommend...to the Bill, Mr...to the Amendment, Mr. Speaker, I would recommend a 'no' vote on each of the Amendments one through nine. I think the better Amendment would be the Cowlishaw Amendment, which is #10, which would include all of our schools as eligible to participate in this pilot program. I can't see any reason to leave out some schools and put in other schools and I wouldn't support the inclusion of the ones recommended here through these nine Amendments, so..." 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day
"Mr. Speaker, if the Gentleman will May 20, 1991 support Amendment #10, I'd be willing to withdraw Amendments 1-9, based on his representation that he'd support Amendment #10."
"The Gentleman withdraws Amendments #1-9. Further Amendments, Mr. Clerk?"
"Floor Amendment #10, offered by Representative Cowlishaw."
"Representative Cowlishaw."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. May I please begin by asking a question of the Clerk? Mr. O'Brien, I have two Amendments on this Bill, #10 and #11. One of them would be appropriate if the Bill has not been previously amended at all and the other would be appropriate if it has been previously amended. Were there any Amendments adopted in committee?"
"There are no Amendments on the Bill."
"Very good. Thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, Amendment #10, to House Bill 31, would do precisely what Representative Homer just said and that is to expand this pilot program to all high schools throughout all of Illinois. Every 118 state Representative districts would have all of their high schools included in this scholarship program and I move for the adoption of Amendment #10 to House Bill 31."
"And on that, Representative Hicks."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I stand in opposition of Amendment #10. Even though we would very much like to accept Amendment #10 as being something realistic, this is a pilot program that Representative Shaw is attempting to do. Amendment #10 would make every high school in the State of Illinois, put into this program. It would be wonderful to be able to do that, if somebody had about $500,000,000, we'd be happy to 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 accept it, but since it's a pilot program which we're trying to establish something new, I would ask that the House reject Amendment #10."
"Representative Cowlishaw to close."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm sure that rules and regulations could be provided so that those students, who were most in need of having this kind of program, no matter where they lived in Illinois, could be included in the program. I think it is really important for each of us when we go back home to be able to say that we wanted and we tried to get our own high schools included in this program. That is, of course, unless your high school students are all so wealthy that they don't need any help and, Mr. Speaker, I would ask for a Roll Call Vote on this Amendment."
"The question is, 'Shall this Amendment be adopted?' All in favor vote 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. Representative Homer, to explain his vote."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look at the Bill, you know, without this Amendment, there are only 10 high schools in the state, listed as eligible for a pilot program to award scholarships to need-based students. N've got high schools in my district that have students that have every bit as great a need as those in the 10 schools listed in the Bill, and while I understand the Members who spoke against the Amendment, who do have schools that are included in this Bill, I would suggest the proper vote for those of you, who don't, and the correct vote, public policy, would be to vote 'yes' because the Lady's Amendment would make every student in the state eligible to participate in the program. How can we possibly justify a discriminatory policy that would allow a need-based scholarship in one school and not another. So this would open it up to all 22, STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day students throughout the State of Illinois, in all 118 legislative districts. I don't see how you can argue against that. For those of you who don't have 1 of these 10 schools, I certainly don't know why you would be voting 'no' on this Amendment."
"Have all voted? Representative Shaw to explain Shaw: his vote." "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, but certainly, Representative Homer, probably you have good intentions, but when we set up pilot programs, every Member of the General Assembly cannot be included in that program, and I can understand what he is saying here, but this is a pilot program that's geared to certain high shcools, to 10 high schools in this state, 5 in Chicago and 5 downstate, and I didn't know whose district they were in when we got,,, when we received those schools, or when we picked them and certainly, I think, it should...this Amendment should be defeated, because if you put this Amendment on, certainly we don't have the millions of dollars that it is going to take to finance this program statewide and certainly, I think there should be more red votes up there on the Board."
"Representative Matijevich to explain his vote."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, I thought I listened to the debate in this... Amendment and from listening to the debate, I at first had supported the Amendment because I thought what's good for one is good for everybody, but then as I listened more closely, I thought that I was hearing that if we support the Amendment, then nobody is going to benefit by the program, so I changed my vote to 'no' because I thought if the program is as worthwhile as I heard both Representative Cowlishaw and Representative Homer say, then at least some schools ought to be availed of the model program. So if we vote 'yes' for the 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day May 20, 1991 Amendment, that means nobody is going to benefit; if we vote against the Amendment, at least somebody is going to benefit. So, I switched my vote on that basis, and I think that more of you ought to do that, so that at least some high schools will be able to avail themselves of a model program. It is very often that we establish worthwhile programs, but we start out with model programs and then go from there. So I would urge the Membership to examine their conscience and to look to help this program to get on its feet and to vote 'no' on the Amendment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Have all voted? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Amendment there are 36 'ayes' and 40 'noes'. The Amendment fails. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #11, offered by Representative Cowlishaw."
"Representative...withdraws Amendment #11. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #12, offered by Representative Shaw."
"Representative Shaw."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Amendment #12 basically becomes the Bill, in large part, and it sets up a pilot program where that there would be no money...it would have no impact upon the Illinois scholarship funds. It removes them out of the Bill altogether and where their funds what not be used to finance this particular program, and we will find new revenue to do the program, and I ask for passage of the Amendment."
"This is Joseph LaPaille. Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor 24 53rd Legislative Day yield?" STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 20, 1991
"Yes."
"Representative, if you are taking out the Illinois Student Assistances Commission, appropriating no funds whatsoever, do you have any idea where the money for this program will come from?"
"As you know the legislative Session is not over yet, and we have a long ways to go."
"Are you also eliminating financial need as a requirement for these scholarships?"
"Beg your pardon?"
"Are you also eliminating financial need?"
"Oh, yes."
"So, in other words..."
"And let me say this. In many of the schools that are involved in these program, they qualify for...these...to...they would meet the criteria, need criteria, with the Illinois Scholarship Commission anyway, and if they were not included in this program, they could still go and apply or if they didn't meet the criteria of this program they could still apply with the Illinois Scholarship Commission."
"Well, Representative, you have a very interesting Amendment here, that goes on to an even more interesting Bill and I hope you will look at this Amendment very carefully, that you read the Fiscal Note very carefully, because you're getting into something here that's going to build some expectations, some very expensive expectations, and we don't have any idea how we're going to meet those expectations, but if you persist in running the Amendment, so be it, but I'm sure we'll visit this Bill again."
"Representative Shaw."

May 20, 1991 "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. Amendment #3 takes care of a lot of the problems that we had heard about through the course of this Bill after it was introduced and...through the committee process. It makes the Bill a title Bill only. There were some objections raised in committee that it was more like a practice Act than a title Bill. This Amendment makes the Act a title Bill only. It takes care of the question of diagnosis and deletes that particular section. There were some questions for the Medical Society on that. It also takes care, Mr. Speaker, of the situation that occurred with the religious groups who express some problem that yhey may be hindered in some way or another through the counseling licensure. So, this takes care of that; in addition, it creates a special professional counselor dedicated fund. Mr. Speaker, I would answer any questions, and I would move for the adoption of the Amendment."
"Representative Wennlund."
