May 7, 1992 "The House will come to order. The Chaplain for today is Reverend William T. Rucker, Pastor of Soul Reviving Church of Chicago. Reverend Rucker is the guest of Representative Rice. Our guests in the gallery may wish to rise for the invocation." "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, mind, body and soul, and let us lean not into our own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct our path. Our eternal Father, as we come before Your throne of grace, during these trying and difficult times, we ask for You to give us the strength to understand the social upheaval that exists in this society, and to understand the concerns that we express before Thee this day. And to give us the fiscal needs and all of the things that the citizens of this great State of Illinois need to withstand the storms of life. And so as we come before this august Body, we ask for Your strength to be placed upon each and every one of them. Give them a double portion of the wisdom and knowledge and understanding that would enable them to make the kinds of decisions that would be beneficial to all of Your children, for we know that all of us are God's children and that we all stand before the judgment one day. And as You unfold that great book, let it be read that all of our names will be called. And so we ask not only for the United States government, cities around these states, but right here in Springfield, that You embody this power that they will have an understanding and a concern for all of us. In the name of Christ Jesus, we offer this prayer and it...for Your sake and for Your glory we pray. Amen."

"All right, let the Clerk... Go ahead, Mr. Clerk, read the Amendment."
"On page 1, inserting 'including public universities' and on page 12 inserting 'or public university'."
"Okay. The Amendment was to address what I perceived as a problem in the original Bill, and the Amendment would simply give universities an ability to 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 provide an additional...or to adopt additional rules governing how they would do their procurement. Some concern that I have is that if all of the procurement had to go through Central Management Services, that we might end up with a problem for universities in providing fresh foods in particular."
"Any discussion? Representative Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I just rise to say if the Sponsor has trouble remembering what the Amendment was, we have twice the trouble because we don't have it. We would at least like to look at it before we're asked to vote on it."
"Mr. Clerk, has it been distributed? The Clerk indicates that the Amendment has been distributed, Representative Black. Does anybody on the Republican side have the Amendment? Representative Hultgren? You don't have it either."
"Now if he doesn't have it, you know it hasn't been distributed over here."
"What about the new Chairman? Representative Hoffman? Well, the Clerk has indicated, Mr... Representative Black that...it's...it has been distributed. And when the Clerk says it's been distributed, it's been distributed."
"Well, I...just had a birthday. I'll not argue with that person, and what a happy birthday it was, too. But we do have a copy, if you'll give us about 30 seconds, I'm sure we can go along with it. All right?"
"All right, Mr. Clerk, put the timer on. Representative McCracken?"
"Yes, thank you. Just to say that I'm here. I was reported as an excused absence. That was in error, and 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 I've signed the sheet to that effect. Thank you."
"Make sure he gets his per diem, Mr. Clerk. I think that was prematurely reported, Representative McCracken. All right. Are we ready for the Amendment? All those in favor of the Amendment. Representative Curran. Representative Curran."
"Yeah, I'm not in favor of the Amendment. The Amendment guts the Bill. The Amendment doesn't make any sense. So, I want this Bill the way it is on Third Reading. Now this is a good Bill. It saves money at the university level, and it's obviously good. The Amendment guts the obviously good Bill. It lets the universities continue to spend willy-nilly. There's nothing about this Bill says they gotta go through Central Management Services. Nothing about it at all. They gotta have the same bidding procedures, but they don't have to go through Central Management Services. This is a good Bill. I want it out this way, and I don't want this Amendment. It guts the good Bill."
"Representative Hultgren."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, I listening to the debate here just a minute ago. It's a little difficult for most of us to know whether this is a good Amendment or a bad Amendment because it hasn't been distributed. I'm not sure why we're being so secretive about this, but could we wait until it's generally available to the Membership to take a look at it so that we can evaluate the arguments that are being made for and against this?"
"Representative Hultgren, the Clerk informs the Chair it has been distributed. Representative Black has a copy. I don't know what happened to some of the Members', but as far as the Chair is concerned the Amendment has been 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 distributed. Why don't you ask Representative Black to let you look at his copy? Representative Black, would you be so kind to let Representative Hultgren look at your Amendment?"
"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker, my understanding is that he sent that to be xeroxed so that we can take a look at it. Maybe we could just take it out of the record for a few minutes until we all have a chance to look at the Amendment."
"All right, in lieu of that, to not to keep the dialogue going, we'll hear from Representative Satterthwaite, who is the Sponsor of the Amendment, in response to Representative Currans...quote that he doesn't want the Amendment. So, Representative Satterthwaite, would you care to elaborate on the Amendment? Representative Satterthwaite."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. The original Bill seems to leave all of the control in the Department of Central Management Services unless a state agency adopts additional rules. I am simply adding that in addition to state agencies, public universities could adopt additional rules governing procurement practices. Part of the problem as I see it, is the universities may already have means of getting a better deal on their food to preserve the ability, particularly in regards to fresh foods. And if they have to only go through the Department of Central Management Services for their purchases, they may end up in reducing the quality of food, or making it more difficult to get the things that they need. The Gentleman's Bill, the language that is already in law, allows other state agencies to vary from the Department of Central Management Services, and I think that public 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 I do not universities ought to have that same privilege. believe that the Gentleman has shown that in any way universities are abusing the privilege of being able to buy their food without going through Central Management Services. But, if, in fact, there is something that they prefer to get through Central Management Services, they certainly should be able to do that. It is not totally gutting the Gentleman's Bill. It is simply giving some flexibility to state universities, just as the law currently gives that same flexibility to other state agencies. And I would urge the approval of Amendment #1."
"Representative Curran."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, we could either debate this Bill on Third Reading the way I want it, or we can debate it now. I can go through a whole long list of wastes at the university level. The members of the Higher Education Committee heard that list of wastes and voted this Bill out of the Higher Education Committee unanimously. But if you want to hear them, we'll do this now. I am opposed to this Amendment. I am ready to give good reasons now, or on Third Reading why this Amendment is a bad idea, but what this Bill does is saves money at the university level on the purchase of food. Let me give you an example. Northern Illinois University required only Fred's Frozen Foods on a bid that was open November 8, 1991. Central Management Services, on November 18, 1991, opened their bid to Quality...Equal Quality. Now for some reason Northern Illinois University had to have Fred's Frozen Foods, of all the frozen foods that there are in the world. When this...when these two contracts were awarded, Northern Illinois University, on that one contract, wasted $4,608. At Illinois State 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 University, on a bid open November 4, 1991, they had to have Schrieber brand shredded cheddar cheese. At the Sangamon County Educational Cooperative, that's just high schools here in Sangamon County, they had the equivalent quality to Schrieber. Sangamon County, just that little small university, just that little, small county cooperative, saved $4,374 on just one bid over Illinois State. And at Illinois State they decided they had to have Heinz ketchup only. Our friends at Eastern Illinois had no such restriction. These were on bids in April of 1992, and in September of 1991. At Eastern Illinois, not needing to have only Heinz, the excess, the savings was $1,850, and I can go on, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Speaker. There are many such savings throughout the state where universities have bid something just like Fred's Frozen Foods and wasted thousands of dollars. And what I suggest, when we're having a very difficult financial time, is we not let that practice continue. What this Bill would do, without this bad Amendment, is to stop this practice of wasting these state taxpayers' dollars. I ask for a 'no' vote on this Amendment because it will continue to waste taxpayers' dollars."
"Representative Satterthwaite, to close."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. Most of the food service at universities is paid for by the students. It is not paid for by taxpayers' money. Some of the cafeterias have people who are not students who are purchasing there, but they are paying for that food. The Gentleman seems to indicate that if Central Management Services prefers to provide a certain grade or a certain brand name of food, that every university should have to buy that brand name, even if the food gets thrown away in 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day May 7, 1992 the cafeteria line at the universities. I believe that our universities are making good decisions about the food that they serve. I have had many compliments about the quality of food at the University of Illinois, and I don't believe that we should be hampering the people who know how to prepare those foods and what the students will eat. I don't believe that we should be telling them what brand of cheese to buy if that is not what the students want. I think the Gentleman's Bill, although well-intentioned, will, in fact, end up with more food waste and higher costs for our students in dormitories and people who purchase at the cafeterias because the people serving the food there will be hampered into getting only certain brands, regardless of the quality. I believe that there is a compromise, and I believe my Amendment is, in fact, the compromise where it does say that they will have an obligation to buy in according to the rules of CMS, except where they have promulgated additional rules. We obviously do not want people out there just giving contracts on a favoritism basis if they like the particular producer. But, we also don't want our students throwing away the food because of the quality. If you want to guard the quality of the food at the universities, I suggest you support my Amendment. A Roll Call Vote, please."
"The Lady asks for a Roll Call Vote. All those in favor of the Amendment signify by voting 'aye', those opposed, 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. On this question there are 34 voting 'aye', and 58 voting 'no', and the Lady's Amendment fails. Further Amendments?"

"Okay, Representative, when I first had the Bill drafted, my intent of the Bill was to change legislation that we passed last year giving an exemption from ICC jurisdiction to water haulers hauling 1,000 gallons or less. I wanted to up the exemption to 1,600 gallons. Midwest Truckers and other groups were not in favor of upping the gallonage, but they do like the part of the Bill that takes the exemption away from multiple containers on a truck. The Amendment just removes the 1,600 gallon language and leaves the nonexemption to multiple containers."

"No, this affects small water haulers state. See, we gave an exemption last gallons. May 7, 1992 throughout the year of 1,000 Anything in 1,000 gallons or less, they're exempt from ICC jurisdiction."
