This Amendment takes effect upon its adoption by the electors of this State. First Reading of House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment #9. Introduction and First Reading of House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment #10, offered by Granberg. House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment #10. WHEREAS, The Illinois General
Assembly has enacted the State Mandates Act in which the General Assembly states: "The General Assembly finds that 5 11th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 11, 1993 preceding actions of the State government in specifying the manner, standards, and conditions under which public services are rendered to citizens by the political subdivisions of this State on occasion have not resulted in equitable relationships between the State government and its local political subdivisions. Some of these actions have dealt in detail with the internal management of local governments, others have specified the establishment of new services and facilities without providing any new revenue sources or any financial participation by the State in meeting the additional costs; still others have specified the adoption of higher service standards without a full assessment of the impact upon local expenditures and tax rates."; and WHEREAS, The General Assembly has on repeated occasions enacted legislation which has necessitated the expenditure of funds by local governments without a source of replacement funding therefore and which has been specifically exempted from the State Mandates Act; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE EIGHTY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, That there shall be submitted to the electors of the State for adoption or rejection at the general election next occurring at least 6 months after the adoption of this resolution a proposition to amend Section 8 of Article IV of the Constitution to read as follows: ARTICLE IV THE LEGISLATURE SECTION 8. PASSAGE OF BILLS (a) The enacting clause of the laws of this State shall be: "Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly." (b) The General Assembly shall enact laws only by bill. Bills may originate in either house, but may be amended or rejected by the other. (c) No bill shall become a law 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day February 11, 1993 without the concurrence of a majority of the members elected to each house. Final passage of a bill shall be by a record vote. In the Senate at the request of two members, and in the House at the request of five members, a record vote may be taken on any other occasion. A record vote is a vote by yeas and nays entered on the journal. (d) A bill shall be read by title on three different days in each house. A bill and each amendment thereto shall be reproduced and placed on the desk of each member before final passage. Bills, except bills for appropriations and for the codification, revision and rearrangement of laws, shall be confined to one subject. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e)(2) of this Section, appropriation bills shall be limited to the subject of appropriations. A bill expressly amending a law shall set forth completely the sections amended. (e) A bill which would require the expenditure by a unit of local government or school district of funds in order to implement that bill shall not become law unless either: (1) the bill passes with the concurrence of at least three-fifths of the members elected to each house; or (2) the bill passes with the concurrence of a majority of the members elected to each house and the bill provides for reimbursement by the State to the unit of local government or school district of those funds necessary to implement it. A bill passed under this subdivision (e)(2) shall not be subject to actions by the Governor under subsection (d) or (e) of Section 9 of Article IV of this Constitution but shall be subject to actions under subsection (a), (b) or (c) of that Section. For the purposes of this subsection (e), "unit of local government" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Article VII, Section 1 of this Constitution. The Speaker 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 11th Legislative Day February 11, 1993 of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate shall sign each bill that passes both houses to certify that the procedural requirements for passage have been met.
