"Yes."

"Representative Wennlund."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. These were Amendments that were requested by the Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities and what it does is it adds back some language that was originally part of Senate Amendment #1, some technical changes that would require the agency to 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 establish an integrated system of state funded services , require the consent of parents and guardians for transfers between state institutions for DMHDD to community settings and allow parents and guardians to request return to a state institution after 6, but no more than 12 months and also provides advice on appropriate care per persons of an integrated system. Senate Amendment 3 amends the county care for the Mentally Retarded Developmentally Disabled Persons Act that changed the term 'Mentally Divisioned Person' to 'Person or Persons with a Developmental Disability'. They're basically some technical changes that have been agreed to and now at the request of the Department and Representative Phelps. I ask for its concurrence."

House Bill 701, Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I move to concur with Senate Amendments #2 and #3. Senate Amendment #2 basically becomes the Bill and it's...it's the same as for all practical purposes of the underlying House Bill. It simply says that when a high school facility is deactivated and its students sent to another district, the sending district 7  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 and the receiving district shall agree upon the tuition to be charged for those students. I'm aware of no opposition to that Amendment, the IEA has no opposition to that Amendment and the underlying Bill passed with an overwhelming majority in the House. Senate Amendment #3 contains the language on House Bill 2282 which was a Bill sponsored by Representative Gash on the other side of the aisle and it simply specifies that new consolidated school districts, after the election is held to consolidate but prior to the effective date of their boundary changes, could issue life safety bonds and I think this...the underlying Bill 2282, passed the House by a comfortable majority. I'd be glad to answer any questions and ask your favorable consideration in the Motion to concur on Senate Amendment 2 and 3 to House Bill 701."

"The Motion is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendments 2 and 3 to House Bill 701?' Is there any discussion?

Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Motion there are 115 voting 'aye'; 0 voting 'no'.

Representative Lang."

House Bill 1009, Representative Meyer."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The Amendments that...I move concurrence of the Amendments 1, 2 and 3. These Amendments do some cleanup work within the Bill. One of them changes the date of initiation from October to July, the others just clean up some of the language that are major technical, primarily technical Amendments and I would move concurrence."

"The Motion is to concur in Senate Amendments 1, 2 and 3 to House Bill 935. Is there any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Excuse me, the Bill, the board is wrong. If we can wait a moment, we should be on House Bill 1009. House Bill 1009, Representative Ronen."

"Thank you, Speaker. I rise on point of personal privilege. I'd just like the Members of the General Assembly to know that today is Representative Jan Schakowsky's birthday. She is celebrating...she is celebrating yet again her 29th birthday. A we join...we join...we invite you to join us for cake, over here to celebrate Jan's birthday."

"I'd ask the Clerk to dump the roll call because when we voted, the board showed that we were voting on House Bill 935, so starting from scratch, Representative Meyer."

"Mr. Speaker, I'd like to take this out of the record for a minute. We have a conference on the Amendment."

"Fine. Out of the record on House Bill 1009. 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day Can you return to House Bill 419, May 26, 1993 Representative Capparelli. Representative Capparelli on House Bill 419."

"Madam Speaker, I would like to concur on Senate Amendment 1 which removes the effective date from the underlying Bill and I move to accept it and concur under House Bill 419."

"Representative Capparelli moves the House do concur on Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 419. On that Motion is there any discussion? Hearing none, the question is, 'Shall that Motion succeed, shall the House concur?' All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Motion 112 voting 'aye'; 0 voting 'no'. The Motion succeeds. The House does concur in Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 419 and this Bill having received the required Constitutional Majority is hereby declared passed.

"We'll take the first Motion. The Motion is to concur in Senate Amendments 1 and 2 to House Bill l102. Do you want to explain to the Members what those Amendments do?"

"No, I don't. I don't."

"Representative Schakowsky."

"Well, Amendments #1 and 2 were Amendments to this legislation dealing with permanency planning for children under the protection of the Department of Children and 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 Family Services and these are Amendments that are agreed to by all the child welfare organizations, the Department, the Public Guardian, etc. and I know of no opposition. I urge that we concur."

"The Motion is to nonconcur in Senate Amendment 4 to House Bill 1102 and on this Motion is there any discussion? Hearing none, all in favor signify by saying 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it and the Motion succeeds. House Bill 1162, Representative Kaszak."

"Thank you, Speaker. I move that we concur with Senate Amendment #1. This Bill deals with clarifying the statute of limitations on contribution actions and the Senate Amendment exempts medical malpractice from that statute and the Bill is...the Illinois Child Lawyers are neutral on this. The Illinois State Bar Association supports the Amendment. I move for its concurrence."

"Representative Kaszak moves that the House do concur in Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 1162 and on that Motion, is there any discussion? Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 yield? Representative, it's very difficult to hear in here. You said something about Amendment #1 dealing with malpractice, fully extending or eliminating a deadline or what are we doing?"

"Well, let me...let me clarify, Mr. Black. The original Bill deals with the Statute of Limitation on contribution actions that are originated by defendants. There was some confusion due to some court cases as to whether or not an individual has two years from what point or two years or four years to file their contribution action. It passed the House. It went to the Senate. The Senate said 'we're fine with it except we want to exempt the medical malpractice actions from it'. This was an Amendment that was supported by the Illinois State Medical Society. I've conferred with the Illinois State Bar Association. They're willing to go along with this Amendment and I've talked with the Illinois Child Lawyers Association and they said they're neutral on it and I'm willing to concur on that exemption."

"Well just for...from a non attorney standpoint. What...what are we exempting? Are we exempting a Statute of Limitations in a case of malpractice or..."

"No. I'll read the Amendment for you. It's...it provides that the Section does not apply to any actions for damages in which contribution or endemnification is sought from a party who is eledged to have been negligent or who's negligence has been eledged to have resulted in injuries by death, by reason of medical or healing art malpractice, so the clar...its the clarification of this statute does not include medical malpractice actions."

"Is it the intent of that Amendment to remove any Statute of Limitations? I'm really confused on this..." 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day

"No."

"Statute of Limitations." May 26, 1993

"No, if you want we can take it out of the record and..."

"No, that's all right. I have a great deal of confidence in your ability. I'm sure that if it were controversial we would have heard something during this discussion, but in the absence of that I...I have no objection. I was just a little confused as to what the Amendment did."

"It does not affect the law dealing with medical malpractice at all."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

"To the best of my knowledge."

"Thank you."

"Further discussion? Representative Wennlund. No further discussion from Representative Wennlund. The Motion is to concur with Senate Amendment 1 on House Bill 1162. All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? McPike, 'aye'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record.

Representative Cross, for what reason do you rise? Representative Daniels, you don't look like Representative Cross."

"No, but I'm at Representative Cross's desk and we...we've had a Republican search for our Republican baby. We want Reynolds returned over this side, Schoenberg you can't have pictures taken with a Republican baby, so get that baby back here, we miss it."

"That's no Republican baby." 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day

"Yes it is."

May 26, 1993 "It looks exactly like a Democrat to me."

"No, no. We want Reynolds back. Return Reynolds right now."

"Representative Schoenberg is reluctant to give up that sweet child."

"It's a good Republican."

"House Bill 1163, Representative Novak."

"Madam Speaker, yes, Madam Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I move that we nonconcur in Senate Amendment #1." Speaker Currie: 1 to "The Motion is to not concur in Senate Amendment House Bill 1163. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying 'aye'; opposed, 'no'.

Representative Steczo, are you ready on House Bill 1313? Representative Steczo."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker, Members of the House. I would ask that the Senate, that the House concur with Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1313. Senate Amendment #1 does three things. I It clarifies the authorities procurement process was not intended to apply to short term facility use and occupancy agreements. It permits the board to adapt its check signing procedures to modern banking 14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 standards and it permits the authority to solicit not for profit corporations to enhance the public's enjoyment of Navy Pier and McCormick Place. I'd answer any questions, Madam Speaker. If not, I'd ask for the concurrence of the House in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1313."

"The Motion is to concur in Senate Amendment 1 to House Bill 1313 and on that Motion, Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Madam Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I simply rise to support the Gentleman's Motion. Without this cleanup language it would be very difficult to utilize the new McCormick Place for short term leases and it will greatly enhance as the Speaker said, the ability of 5013(c) tax exemption agencies to enter into agreements with the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. The shape that this is in now is a good Bill. I would urge my colleagues to vote 'aye'."

"Thank you, Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I wish to nonconcur in Senate Amendments #1 and 2."

"Representative Hoffman moves..."

"Nonconcur on 1 and 2 and concur in 3."

"So, the Motion is, do not concur in Senate Amendments 1 and 2 to House Bill 1256 and on the Motions is 15  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 there any discussion? All in favor of the Motion signify by saying 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it and the Motion is adopted. Representative Hoffman on Amendment 3."

"I move to concur on Amendment...Senate Amendment #3. Senate Amendment #3 essentially leaves the original Bill intact which has to do with the Juvenile Court Act and the Cannabis Control Act regarding the te...the making it condition of parole or excuse me, the condition of supervised release of...the possibility of drug testing, but also adds a provision that is Senator Klemm's provision that is similar to what Representative Dart had, that indicates that if you are convicted of several offenses including sexual offenses and some drug offenses and you are an employee of the school district etcetera, that the court is required to notify the employer of those convictions."

"Representative Hoffman moves that the House do concur in Senate Amendment 3 to House Bill 1258. Is there any discussion? Hearing none, all in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. The voting is open.

House Bill 1316. when it left the House dealt with the responsibility of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to apply for all available federal monies for env...nonregulatory environmental activity conducted by other agencies than the IPA. Senate Amendment 1 and 5 made 16  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 technical changes in that underlying Bill and Senate Amendment 6 takes out the whole language dealing with the IEPA. The Senate Amendment 4 substitutes in the one stop shopping bus...Small Business Assistance Bill which came out of the House as 1396. This has passed the Senate and I move that we concur."

"Representative Kaszak moves the House concur in Senate Amendments 1, 4, 5 and 6 to House Bill 1316. On that Motion is there any discussion? Representative Wennlund."

"Thank you, Madam Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She will."

"If Amendment #...6 effectively leaves only the contents of the...leaves only the contents of Senate Amendment #4? Is that correct?"

"That's correct."

"And that creates the office of business assistance and regulatory formats?"

"That's correct."

"It's part of the one stop shopping. Is that what this is for?"

"Right."

House Bill 1489, Representative Krause."

"Thank you, Speaker. I ask at this time to concur in Senate Amendments 1, 3, 4, 5 to House Bill 1489. Very briefly, Senate Amendment #1 provides that the Department of Public Aid can conduct a job training program and will track clients from their termination for a period of 24 months. Senate Amendment #3 provides for the creation of a first aid task force within the Department of Public Health to study the status of first aid and CPR training in schools and certain agencies. The Amendment is also endorsed by the Red Cross. Very briefly, Senate Amendment #4 provides that trauma center adjustment payments made by the Department of Public Aid shall consist of at least 50% of the amount deposited each year in the trauma center fund and also must include all federal matching funds. The last Amendment #5 creates the electronic benefit transfer and provides for the state treasury to establish procedures for the implementation of EBT and for joint rule making between the Department of Public Aid and State Controller and State Treasurer to administer the EBT and I ask for a concurrence on the Floor Amendments."

Correct?" 18  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993

"Okay, thank you very much."

"There further discussion? Representative Dart."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"She indicates she will."

"Representative, as to Amendment #4. Is that purely the technical requirement so that we will have a place to put these funds into?"

The one that is most important deals with the best interest of the child in making sure that in the criminal court and the juvenile court proceedings that the best interest of the child is what we are most concerned with. In addition to that we have put in protections for foster parents and foster parents' Bill of Rights literally because we have given them a hot line, we've given them the right to intervene, two things that they've insisted on having because of the problem that they have had with the Department of Children and Family Services. The final component of this Bill is the Governor's Proposal dealing with the Inspector General for the DCF...Department of Children's and Family Services.

TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE Hicks: "A question of the Sponsor."

"Yes." May 26, 1993

"Representative Phelps, can you tell me how this changes...makes changes in the House and provides the proposal?"

"How much time have you got?"

"Well, I think it's important enough for us to know?"

"Yeah."

"And I...I will take whatever time is necessary."

"Yeah, per se it's a good question? It encompasses several Bills that we passed out of here with a little bit of addition to a couple of things. It's a...it enables DCS to deposit funds resulting from child support activities into this child support enforcement trust fund which was created a couple of years ago or more, the recovery of erroneous payments currently if the Department of Public Aid recovers money paid out of the trust fund in error to a person receiving child support, there's no provision in the Section 12-10 for the deposit of the money back into the trust fund, SO this handles that. Overpayments on a contract, for example, the States Attorney, Sheriff or Clerk or the Circuit Clerk's Court receives payment for their normal monthly expenses under a child support enforcement contract, SO we just...the Department discovered that one of the...costs is not a valid IVD charge, so we...if we collect the overpayment it can not be deposited in this child support enforcement trust fund and this addresses overpayments in that regard. Reimbursement of blood tests costs the Department prevails in percentage cases, it seeks court orders requiring the ad...educated father...to reimburse the Department for the costs of blood tests. That was House Bill...originally House Bill 2231. 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 That was what I had in the Bill."

"Say that again about the blood test. Set forth what?"

"When the Department prevails in parentage cases, it seeks court orders requiring the adjudicated father to reimburse the Department for the costs of blood tests in the case, so 2231 as admitted would allow the deposit of blood test reimbursement into this support enforcement trust fund."

"So, they didn't have that authority before?"

"No. It wasn't clear, there was some dispute whether they had, so this clears it. Further, the fines or penalties assessed against employers for failing to comply with the income withholdings statutes, this also clarifies that. These were original provisions in the Bill and Senator Hasara embraced those. The #2 item of the Bill also makes changes to support guidelines in the statute which affects the Dis...Dissolution of Marriage Act conforms the statutory language to federal requirements for deviation to the support guidelines in determining child support. As Amended in Senate Bill 1 requires the court when deviating from the guidelines to state in its findings the amount of support that would have been required under the guidelines. Senate Amendment #3 would also require that the guideline amount be stated in the findings, but only if determinable, they've got to be determined, what the findings...the amount would be. This changed was then made at the request of the...was made at the request of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, so further it adds provision requiring that the support orders in cases being enforced by the Department of Public Aid require non-custodial parents to report to the Department changes in employment and dependent health insurance coverage, so 33  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 this is an ongoing process to see if there's changes in the income, insurance benefits and so forth. Is that clear so far?"

"Okay. Were there any requirements currently whereby they had x amount of days, such as I see here, they have 7 days in which to report if they change a job or if they change address. Was there anything currently in the law concerning that?"

"The 7 days, I believe, was addressed is currently, but that's...that reflects the federal guidelines."

"Okay, I also see where it limits the court to list the factors. They're limited on what factors they may consider when they are determining child support. Do we know what those factors are? I mean if you are limited on what a judge...we're telling a judge he has certain guidelines by which he can only use to determine what type of support will be given, so I see here that you're limiting what a judge can actually do. Is that correct?"

"Well, you might explain it that way. I think Representative Hicks, its rather limiting. We're saying going on what our experience has been with complaints, things that need to be amended according to changes in personal situations after the dissolution agreement and child support agreement, then we're adjusting these factors to fit what's most commonly has been brought to our attention of this Body as being...the factors that change and need be adjusted, so it doesn't limit the judge. It just says with these factors that are changed, please consider and we outline to reflect what the federal input is requiring. Yeah, and these things are already in the statute, the factors that you are referring to, so we're not changing those." 34  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993

"Thank you, Speaker. I move the House do concur in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 1092. The Amendment is clarifying. The intent of the Bill was to say that people who adopt physically and mentally handicapped children through the Department of Children and Family Services, will not have those payments garnished by the State Comptroller for failure to pay other kinds of debt. The point of this Bill is to make sure that we encourage people to be foster parents. We have too few of them as it is in the state. I know of no opposition, and would appreciate your support for the concurrence Motion."

"And what else?"

"I don't have a list, Representative, but I think that's Skinner: the most common kind." "How about income taxes?"

"Pardon me."

"How about income taxes?"

"I'm not sure whether that's covered or not. Student loans I think would be the larger share, and all we're saying here is not that other income could not be attached for debt repayments of those kind, but only that the money that is paid to that family in order to take care of a child in our charge, shall not be stopped by the Comptrollers office."

"Representative Currie." "Thank you, Speaker and Members of the House. I've known Bill Miller for a long time and I've worked closely with him on a variety of issues, but I have to admit to you that until I read the Resolution I'm sponsoring, I had no idea how many famous and infamous students actively at work in journalism today are the credit or, perhaps, the debit of Bill Miller. He's someone that I worked real closely with on issues like Freedom of Information and Open Meetings. Bill Miller has been very active with the broadcaster's group on Freedom of Information and served as a Member of the Speaker's Task Force on open access to government. I don't know anybody, in or out of this Assembly, who is as staunch, who is as devoted, as committed an individual to the idea that the public owns the meetings that their public officials organize and that the public needs access to the documents of its own government. Even those of you who haven't had the opportunity to work directly with Bill on legislative issues surely know of him. He's the guy behind those phone calls you get sometime around March or April during each spring Session when suddenly six people describing themselves as Sangamon State University students are calling to ask you about your Bill. House Bill 72, 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 House Bill 1104, who knows what... It took me six years before I realized that that spate of telephone calls from eagle alert young people wanting to know more about the legislative process, wanting to know more about the issues in pay-equity or domestic violence or whatever it might be, those students were instigated by Bill Miller. He's the guy who said, 'Go ahead, harass Legislators. Find out what's really going around here'. So, even if Bill doesn't look familiar to you when you see him sitting back there in the press box, know that he was the guy who was behind all of those phone calls, all of those interviews, all of those discussions that you've had with the people he teaches over the years. Bill, we're gonna miss you here. In fact, I can't believe that after 19 years you really plan to go anywhere else but to stay hanging aro around the Capitol corridors, hanging around the rail, hanging around in the press room on the second floor. I hope you plan to stay because we need you; we enjoy working with you. We congratulate you on all that you have done, and we wish you the very best in whatever future endeavors you put your mind to. We know you will excel. And I hope that all the Members of the House will join me in sponsoring House Resolution 948."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. When we called this Bill last week with the Amendment, it caused a little bit of concern, in my view much concern that was not needed. As we do with other organizations, other groups of people in this state, and other segments of our population, we provide them some due process requirements. Some minimum standard of due process when they lose their livelihood, they might lose their job, they might lose the right to support their family. This 55  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 merely provides that some of those minimum due process rights would also be applicable to doctors, and what's the difference if it's doctors, or miners, or teachers or laborers. Everyone should be entitled to some minimum due process standard. There have been numerous questions about the issue, it's impact on hospitals. We think it's miniumal if any. We think most of it is all ready required by current and state law and rules and regulations that have been promulgated. This would merely codify those regulations into state law. It merely assists those people who are terminated because of economic distress, economic conditions. Where a hospitals would fire a doctor for no reason, except that that doctor, he or she might be taking to many Medicaid patients, and what kind of policy is it not to have that we can't protect the poor segments of our population. We've asked the hospital association to work with the medical society to deal with these issues, to try to work out a compromise; and, in fact, they have attempted to, and I've just been notified they are meeting now and we're trying to get them to reach an agreement. So, while they're meeting, I'd like to just temporarily take this Bill out of the record."

"Take the Bill out of the record, Mr. Clerk. Mr. Black moves to discharge the following Resolutions and Joint Resolutions from their appropriate committee, and then they will be debated individually. There'll be one Motion. The question is, 'Shall these be discharged?', that's House Resolutions: 24, 57, 110, 112, 167, 168, 175, 176, 189, 211, 250, 283, 295, 304, 313, 377, 381, 390, 416, 417, 434, 486, 495, 505, 509, 510, 709, 769, and 791.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Resolution 509, my copy shows that it was adopted on April 16th and signed by

Speaker Madigan."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"All in favor of Mr. Black's Motion say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Motion carries. For the information of the Membership, we have finished all Bills on the House Calendar, on the Supplemental Calendar, the rest of the afternoon will be spent on these Resolutions, and Mr. Dunn will be in the Chair. Senate Bill 398. All right, the Clerk was right, it was correct the first time and this Bill was not on Third Reading. It had been discharged from the Rules Committee on Second Reading. So, Mr. Clerk, return Senate Bill 398 to Second Reading, and hold it on second. In fact, let's make the...let's make sure the record's correct. This Bill was never on Third Reading. This Bill was not on Third Reading. It was on Second Reading when it was put into the record, and we incorrectly read it on Third Reading. So, the Bill is...was and is on Second Reading. Representative Novak. Mr. Novak, what's your Bill number?"

"One eighty six, Senate Bill 186."

"Senate Bill 186 is on Second Reading. Mr. Clerk, this Bill's been read a second time previously. Are there any Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #6, offered by Representative 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day Novak."

"Mr. Novak."

May 26, 1993 "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Floor Amendment #6 simply clarifies some language we had adopted in a previous Amendment with breakouts between a...for the solid waste fund that goes to the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, and the Environmental Protection Agency. This Amendment here simply stipulates that any further increases in tipping fees, those increased dollars will remain with the department, with the Department of Environmental Protection Agency, and will not go to the Department of Energy and Natural Resources. As it is right now, both of those agencies have a more or less a gentleman's agreement where 50% of the money goes to to that agency, and 50% of the money goes to the other agency. So, I ask for it's adoption."

"Mr. Black on the Amendment."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Yes."

"Representative, I believe you're supposed to table Amendment #2. Do you want to do that before we adopt #6?"

"Representative Black, I think you're correct. Could we table Amendment #2 please?"

"Mr. Dart."

"The Sponsor yield? Does this have tipping fees in there?"

"No. No, tipping fees. It talks about the breakout of Dart: the tipping fees, Tom. That's all." "Thanks."

"The Motion is to table Amendment #2. All in favor say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. Amendment #2 is tabled. Mr. Novak on a Motion 'do adopt' 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 66th Legislative Day Amendment #6. Being no opposition the question is, 'Shall Amendment #6 be adopted?' All in favor say 'aye', opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Amendment's adopted. Further Amendments?"

"No further Amendments."

"Third Reading. House Bill 1235, Mr. Homer. Mr. Homer."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move that we concur with Senate Amendments #1, 2, and 3 to House Bill 1235. This is the stalking revisory legislation that passed the House went to the Senate. In the Senate there were some additional revisions that are incorporated in the Senate Amendments that have been done in conjunction with the states attorneys, and I have been informed of no opposition to the Bill and would move for concurrence of the Amendments."

"The question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendments #1, 2 and 3 to House Bill 1235?' All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Motion there's '115' ayes' and 0 'nays', and the House does concur in Senate Amendments #1, 2 and 3 to House Bill 1235; and this Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. House Joint Resolution #1, Mr. Ryder."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would move to concur with Senate Amendment #1 which changed the effective date for exactly one year later."

"The question is, 'Shall the House concur in Senate Amendment #1?' All in favor say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it and the Motion carries."

"Mr. Speaker, it's a different cue card. You gotta get a 59  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 different one up there. This is final action. You ding a little Bell and things happen, lights go on, it's an interesting process. You should try it on occasion.

"Does this call for a task force? Mr. Ryder, you're correct. All in favor of the Motion say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. By use of the Attendance Roll Call the 'ayes' have it. The Motion carries, and the Resolution is adopted. John Dunn. Is the Gentleman here? Mr. Dunn, would you please approach the podium. Mr. Dunn, in the chair."

"On the Order of Resolutions appears House Resolution 24, Representative Moseley. Out of the record. House Resolution 57, Representative Stephens. Do you wish that Resolution called, Sir? Mr. Clerk, please read the Resolution."

"House Resolution 57, offered by Representative Stephens."

"The Gentleman from Madison, Representative Stephens."

"Well, thank you Mr. Speaker. I don't know why the Speaker chose so long to call the Resolution. But as you know, the Resolution speaks to the Medicaid Assessment program and specifically the nursing home portion of that assessment program. What we wanted to do, and when the Resolution was first introduced, we asked the Department of Public Aid to simply report back to the General Assembly as I understand they pledged to do more than a year ago, as to an alternative to fund the Medicaid Assessment program. Then we had to amend that, because we wanted them to report back by April 15th, so we amended it to May 15th, and now we set at May 25th or 26th and you called the Resolution. I think if you were earnest about dealing with this 60  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 program, Mr. Speaker, I think that you would have called this Resolution a good ten weeks ago, so that we could have given it proper due and so it's virtually a moot point now, Mr. Speaker. We a... As we approach the last few days of this General Assembly and this Session, I would hope that leaders on both sides of the aisles in both chambers will sit down and find a method by which we are not forced to tax those families whose last dignity is as they...as a loved one lays in a nursing home, is that they pay their own way. Many of these people have come to me and said that 'dad's only Act that he really gets any satisfaction out of it in his life, is signing the check to pay for the bill for his housing in his last and dying days.' Mr. Speaker, I think the program that was passed last year may have been necessary under the terms of last year, but this year with a year to think about it, I think that the department should have stepped forward with an alternative. I know that many on this side of the aisle have pledged not to extend the heinous 'granny tax' as it is called. We have come up with alternatives, we have trimmed budgets. It's high time that the Medicaid assessment program meet it demise. I wish, Mr. Speaker, you would have called this in a timely manner, but since you didn't, I still move it's adoption and hope that we have a unanimous support."

"Is there further discussion? There being no discussion the Gentleman moves for adoption of House Resolution 57. Those in favor signify by saying 'aye'. Those opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolution is adopted. On the regular Calendar page 8, appears...under Motions, appears Senate Bill 356. Representative Kubik, for what purpose do you rise, Sir."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would move to... Having voted 61  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 on the prevailing side, I would move to reconsider the vote by which Senate Bill 356."

"The Gentleman moves to reconsider the vote by which Senate Bill 356 passed. Pardon me, the Motion is to reconsider the vote by which we nonconcurred and refused to recede. Those in favor of the Motion signify by saying 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Motion is adopted. By the use of the Attendance Roll Call, the Motion is adopted. On the Order of Nonconcurrance, appears Senate Bill 356, Representative Kubik."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would... I don't know if this is proper, but am I supposed to move for immediate consideration? Suspend the Rule and move for immediate consideration of this Bill."

"Does the Gentleman have leave for immediate consideration of Senate Bill 356. Hearing no objection, leave is granted. Representative, Kubik."

"Mr. Speaker, perhaps it would help the Body if I explained what has occurred here. Senate Bill 356, which deals with the issue of relocating automobiles was a Bill that passed out of this House and the Senate by a large margin. Representative Weller adopted...we adopted an Amendment to this Bill which was Representative Weller's Amendment, which had to do with teenage drinking in automobiles. What I would like to do, is to recede from that Amendment and pass this Bill on to the Governor, so that we would not have to go Conference Committee. So, I would make the appropriate Motion to recede from House Amendment #1. I might also point that Representative Weller is a agreeable to that Motion, as is the Secretary of State, and I believe that there is no opposition to that Motion. So I... At this time, I would move to recede from 62  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 House Amendment #1."

"The Gentleman moves that the House recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 356. The Gentleman's Motion is final action. Is there discussion on the Motion? There being no discussion, all those in favor of the Motion vote 'aye'; those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. There being a 115 voting 'aye' and 1 voting 'no', 0 voting present. The House does recede from House Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 356; and this Bill, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On the Order of Resolutions, appears House Resolution 110, Representative Phelps. Do you wish your Resolution called, Sir? House Resolution 110."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Resolution merely recognizes the I-24 bridge which goes from...links Illinois, Kentucky as being the named the Sturgis-Ward Bridge. That's a Kentucky, Metropolis, Illinois joint venture."

"Gentleman moves for adoption of House Resolution 110. Is there a discussion? The Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he'll yield."

"Representative, I may have a misprint on my analysis, but it appears you want to name this bridge after a fish, somebody named 'Sturgeon', a sturgeon fish or what?"

"No. Representative, it 'Sturgis'."

"'Sturgis'".

"Right. Up on the board it's spelled correctly I 63  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day believe."

"Oh, 'Sturgis'. Is that somebody from your district or...?" May 26, 1993

"Actually, that person is deceased and the ancestors, specifically the daughter, had really got news that the Kentucky Department of Transportation and the General Assembly was going to name the bridge 'Ward', which was a Kentuckian who was a friend with Mr. Sturgis, who by the way, both were very close friends to Congressman Everett Dirkson."

"Oh."

"Which actually routed the I-24 interstate through that area, and so we wanted to be sure that Mr. Sturgis was included with Mr. Ward."

"Okay. Thank you very much."

"Thanks."

"Gentleman moves for adoption of House Rule 110. Those in favor the Motion signify by saying 'aye'; those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolution is adopted. House Resolution 112, Representative Weaver."

"Thank you very much Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen. House Resolution 112 simply encourages business, government, the Secretary of State, parents, teachers and school administrators to put forth an extra effort to eradicate illiteracy, which not only causes us current problems in our society, but projected future problems as well."

"With leave of the Body, it'd be my pleasure to handle this Resolution for Mr. Pedersen, who has been ill all Session."

"Does the Gentleman have leave. Hearing no objection, leave is granted. Please proceed, Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 167 urges Congress to address the inadequacies of inhibiting capable senior citizens from working, and to discontinue use of the Social Security Earnings test through passage of House Resolution 2460 in the United States Congress, known as the Older Americans Freedom To Work Act. This will require a copy of our House Resolution 167 to be presented to the leaders of the United States Congress, and to each Member of the Illinois Congressional Delegation. I would move your...move consideration of House Resolution 167."

Hearing on objection, leave is granted. Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 168 urges the President of the United States and the United States Congress to enact legislation similar to what we've already passed out of 65  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 this chamber, and that is simply to increase the dependent Income tax exemption to $7,000 or create a non-refundable tax credit worth at least $1,000 per dependent child. I would ask your favorable consideration of House Resolution 168."

"There being no further discussion, the Gentlemen moves for adoption of House Resolution 168. Those in favor of the Resolution signify by saying 'aye'; those opposed by saying 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Amendment... The Motion is adopt... The Resolution is adopted, pardon me. House Resolution 175, Representative Cowlishaw."

"Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 175 is very simple. It simply asks the State Board of Education to develop a strategy report on the methods that have been successful in school districts throughout Illinois in combating the problems of school dropouts and teen pregnancy. That is all the Resolution does. But, if I may, with your indulgence, Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out to you that this morning the Regional Superintendents of Schools held a press conference at 11:45 to reveal that they have put forward their preliminary report on crime and violence in Illinois schools. This is only a preliminary report, and there is considerably more that needs to be done to address this issue. However, this report is a direct result of a simple House Resolution that I introduced during the 87th General Assembly. So, you see, these Resolutions do have an affect and they do enable us to find the ideas out there that have worked, and share them with other school districts, so that they too can help to combat the very serious problems that our students have to confront today, and on that note, I move for the 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day adoption of House Resolution 175."

"The Gentleman from Rock Island, Representative Brunsvold."

"Thank you Mr. Speaker. I stand and join Representative Wennlund in asking for the adoption of this Resolution. Wildlife managed in this state by the Department of Conservation is a tool for the management of that wildlife, and it works well under the biologists and the wildlife experts we have in the Department of Conservation. They're doing a great job and I would join 68  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day Representative Wennlund and ask for the Resolution 250 and House Resolution 495."

"Representative Wennlund, is it true that you took more than one deer last year?"

"That's correct, but it was from different states."

"Different states."

"Yes."

"Do you use your vehicle as a hunting instrument."

"No Sir. That's illegal except in Kentucky."

"So, you didn't take any deer with your car last year?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I did."

"Oh, you're sorry, you're sorry you did, or you're sorry that you forgot..."

"December 23, December 23. I was about a half mile from my house, when two doe jumped out in front of the road at about 35 miles an hour, caused $3,000 damage to front end of my Lincoln. So, yes I did load the doe in the back of the trunk and she's been long gone eaten by now."

"So, you'd say your Lincoln is a good hunting tool?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 283 urges the Department of Insurance to take all appropriate action to promote and facilitate the utilization of risk pools and multiple employer trusts as alternative methods of providing affordable health coverage, particularly for small business. In our research, and looking for ways to provide more affordable health insurance coverage, particularly for small employers, we recognize that risk pools, multiple employer trusts, are provided for in the state statutes. However, many employers are not aware of this opportunity, and we hope with this Resolution the Department of Insurance will work to make them better aware and facilitate the opportunity to take advantage of this risk pool and multiple employer trust method of purchasing health care insurance.

The Gentleman from Effingham, Representative Hartke."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. House Resolution 304 is an outcome of House Bill 60, which went through the Transportation Committee unanimously, and it deals with the issue of seasonal signs for speciality crops, and this Resolution just urges Congress to give some consideration to some regulation change that will allow for directional signing for seasonal crops such as pumpkin, sweet corn, strawberries and so forth along state highways without penalizing the Illinois Department of Transportation. I would urge for the adoption."

"Yes, thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he'll yield."

"Representative, I always get a little nervous when I can't hear you. I know that you are able to enunciate very clearly now. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, this man bam-boozled us less than a month ago about something to do with a sales tax exemption on a part of a Bill. Now what I want to know is, cause I couldn't understand your explanation, are you exempting or attempting to exempt signs in rural areas from a assessments or taxes, or what are you doing here?"

"Representative Black, the only thing I'm trying to do is urge Congress to take a look at their highway rules and 71  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 regulations as it regards signs along state highways when to comes to advertising for crops, such as the speciality crops, such as strawberries, sweet corn, pumpkins, Christmas trees, etcetera. Right now, if we would've have passed House Bill 20, the State of Illinois would be subject to losing federal highway funds because we're not in compliance with the Federal Highway Act. Is there something else you'd like for me to explain?"

"Now I remember that Bill, and that's why we have to pass this Resolution?"

"This Resolution urges Congress to take a look at changing their Federal Highway Signage codes."

"Well, as well they should. Because the last time I drove down by 'T-town. As well they should, because the last time I drove down by T-town I couldn't find your pumpkin patch, and if we could get a sign out there to help me find your pumpkin patch, your strawberry patch, your hog farm and all the other Hartke enterprises. I think it's only realistic that we do so, and I proudly stand in support of this Resolution, and it's high time Congress did something. So, maybe they'll act on this if we sent 'em to 'em right away."

"Thank you very much for your support."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Resolution was born out of an attempt by asphalt companies in Lake county to place facilities in two areas in Lake County, both near schools, 72  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 one of them in a residential area close to the 'Lolo' bog one of the state's most precious environmental gifts. This Resolution urges the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to deny permit to any asphalt plant, landfill or incinerator in those two areas, and it also urges the IEPA to hold public hearings, SO that the citizens who are environmentally concerned, those who are impacted, may voice their concern. I move for a vote on House Resolution 313."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Blagojevich, on the question."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I concur wholeheartly with Representative Salvi's sentiments on House Resolution 313. It seems to me we have a great opportunity here to express not only verbally, but also in writing, that kids matter and that kids certainly proceed asphalt. The idea of this Resolution is long over due. Ultimately, it would be great to see a Bill, actual legislation passed along these lines, let's start off with a Resolution putting in writing our sentiments along those lines. I wholeheartly ask all Members of this House to vote 'yes' on this Resolution."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Resolution would urge the Illinois Congressional Delegation to work to repeal the 10% luxury tax on boats. AS you all know, we have some boat manufacturers in this state. They have been hurt badly by 73  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 this 10% tax, and as you further know, it passed in Congress twice last year but got tied up in some other Bills. President Clinton has said he would sign it. It has bipartisan support in Washington and as recently as last week, it came out of the Ways and Means Committee of Congressman Rostenkowski on a Bill SO that they would eliminate this 10% tax and I would ask for your support for House Resolution 377."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 381 simply urges the Board of Governor's, which is the governing authority over Eastern Illinois University, Western Illinois University and particular in this matter, Governor State University to maintain and continue their current health care administration curriculum. It's been recommended that the curriculum be terminated, and I know the Board of Governor's has to make that final decision. The health care industry, is as you well know, is inflation proof because of the rise, the dramatic rise, in health care costs. There are many, many opportunities for individuals in the health care field. Not only from the scientific aspect meaning a physician or a nurse, but from the administrative aspect, because of hospitals and health care facilities and so forth and so on that we've see in the State of Illinois, that do provide many economic opportunities for people. So, we simply are urging the Governor's, not Governor's, but the Board of Governors I should say, to maintain this curriculum. This 74  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 important curriculum at Governor State University. I ask for its approval."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Ostenburg."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I just rise in support of this Resolution, and I want to say that for those who are unfamiliar with the health administration program at Governor's State University, until...up until a couple of years ago, this was one of only three programs in the entire nation that was fully accredited at both the undergraduate and graduate level. In addition to that, it is responsible for the education of more minorities who end up in hospital administration, than any other program in the state. This is one of those situations where the Board of Higher Education, as part of its PQP process has recommended the elimination of this program. If in fact this program is eliminated a number of adult returning students, primarily minority students and women, will be denied the opportunity of gaining training to become hospital or clinic administrators. This Resolution would help us encourage the Board of Higher Education not to take this kind of an action against an outstanding program that has won all kinds of national awards, and I support this Resolution wholeheartedly. Thank you."

All the Resolution does is ask for the creation of a task force on the coordination of social services to families. In my area of the state, and I am convinced in other areas as well, the social services that are provided to families tend to be in some cases duplicative and in other cases repetitious.

May 26, 1993 "Senate Bill 301, a Bill for an Act amending the Riverboat Gambling Act. Second Reading of the Bill. No Committee Amendments. Floor Amendment #1, offered by

Speaker Madigan."

"Speaker Madigan, on Floor Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 301."

"Mr. Speaker, is this on the Amendment, Amendment #1? Mr. Speaker, on Amendment #1, this Amendment is concerned with the licensing of riverboat gambling licenses and also with the code of ethics for members of the board, of the Gaming Board, and so concerning the first element of the Amendment, it's concerned with an alternative method of granting riverboat licenses. Today the state law sets out a procedure for the Gaming Board to consider applications for licenses and then the proceed to grant the licenses. This Amendment would establish a second or alternative method of considering the applications and then granting the licenses, and what it would provide would be that the Gaming Board will provide a list of all applicants for a riverboat gambling license to the municipality or the county where the boat will be docked. The municipality or county may then conduct a public meeting at which the applicants could make presentations regarding the contributions they are willing to make to the local community, should they be awarded the license. The items to be included at these meetings include job creation, affirmative action, revenue sharing, public works projects and any similar ideas. The municipality or county would make a record of the meeting and forward that to the Gaming Board. The Gaming Board would make findings based upon this record as to the benefits provided by each applicant, and those findings would be an additional element in the 87  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 licensee decision. For existing licenses, the local community may hold a public hearing upon the expiration of the initial three year licensee period. If the local community believes that the licensee has acted inconsistently with the Board's findings, it may notify the Gaming Board with at least six months expiration of the license. If the Gaming Board agrees with the local community, it may refuse to renew the license. Concerning ethics; it would provide that Gaming Board members and employees would be prohibited for a period of three years from the date of leaving the gaming board from excepting employment or acquiring an ownership interest in a licensee. Additionally, Gaming Board members and employees would be prohibited from representing any person or party before the Gaming Board. This would be a recommendation which is coming from Governor Edgar and the Gaming Board. Concerning the changes in the method of considering and granting the licenses, this proposal was presented to the Committee which I established, to study the question of gaming in the State of Illinois. It is supported by that committee, in addition, we have worked with the Gaming Board relative to this provision and the actual details of the provision. I do not want to represent that the Gaming Board supports the first section, which would relate to an alternative method of granting a license, but certainly they've been consulted and their input has been accepted in drafting the Amendment. So, Mr. Speaker, I move for the adoption of the Amendment."

"And on the Gentleman's Motion, Representative McPike, in the Chair. Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?" 88  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day

"Yes." May 26, 1993 "Thank you. Speaker, is there anything in this Amendment that can be construed, or would you put on the record that it is not your intent that anything in this Amendment be construed as to increase the number of riverboat gambling licenses, or to allow riverboats to be placed in the City of Chicago?"

"The answer to your questions, I agree with you; but, I want to hasten to add that if there ever were additional licenses authorized, why the applicants for those licenses would be subject to these provisions. But, this Amendment does not grant any new licenses."

"In fact, is this Amendment take what...some of the language the Governor had that he wanted to see, and some of the language that you had in the public hearing and accountability section?"

"Yes."

"And the Gaming Board is in agreement, or at least have not taken a negative position in any way, shape or form on this Amendment?"

"That's correct."

"And you and the Governor are in agreement?"

"I've not talked to the Governor about this."

"All right. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker."

"Representative Lang."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. As most of you know, I'm the chairman of the Speakers Task Force on gaming. Relative to the portion of this Amendment that deals with the issue of competition for riverboat licenses, despite the fact that some members of my task force had some disagreements on one issue or another issue that we debated, there was no disagreement on this issue. 89  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 When the Speaker proposed the Amendment to the task force, it was very clear immediately that the task force members who formerly were either...some were for casino, some were against; but, all agreed that this Amendment was appropriate. All believe strongly that adding competition to the licensure process would add significantly to the benefits that riverboat operators can provide the local communities. Accordingly, its been very clear that even those who have been opposed to gaming, have said to me that this kind of proposal can help them be more interested in the process, because there's been a concern that local communities get out of this all they can. This proposal will help do that, and will substantially aid in the effort to have the current river boats and future riverboat licenses granted, if any, provide substantial new benefits to local communities. It would enable riverboat operators to offer whatever it took to get that license, and in so doing, schools might benefit, park districts might benefit, infrastructure repair might benefit, whatever it would be; and then the local community could decide which among potential applicants they felt would be the greatest benefit to them, and then the Gaming Board would have the opportunity to say, we agree with that local community, and we think that that operator or that operator should be the one that gets the license because of what they can provide to the local community. So, I think it's an excellent proposal signed off on by every member of my task force, and I would recommend an 'aye' vote."

"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 be adopted?' All in favor say 'aye'. Representative Lawfer, for what reason do you rise?"

"Well the Speaker yield?" 90  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day

"Yes." May 26, 1993

"I have a question in regards to existing riverboat licenses. Will this in any way terminate or any way change any agreements that local communities have made with existing riverboat licensees in regards to a second vote or a fee or a percentage of the fees that are allotted to the local government."

"No. But, what it would do, would be to make available to the local government the forum and the authority of the Gaming Board to seek enforcement of those agreements if there were an effort by the licensee to renege on previous agreements."

"In other words, any existing agreements will remain in force, and anything that has been negotiated would not be altered in any way by this Amendment."

"Yes. Correct."

"Thank you."

"Representative Ryder."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Pursuant to Rule 55(c), I, along with Representative Black, Representative Churchill, Representative Daniels and Representative Wennlund, are requesting a Roll Call Vote."

"Representative Wennlund."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Yes."

"Representative Madigan, is it your intention that Amendment #1 to Senate Bill 301 remain in its original condition as an ethics Bill, or could this possibly be a vehicle for the expansion of riverboat gambling in the City of Chicago?"

"I'm offering this Amendment for the purposes that are set out in the Amendment, okay, and my hope and expectation 91  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 is that the Amendment will be adopted and the Bill will be passed by the House and sent over to the Senate. I would then... I'm gonna request that Senator Philip concur on the Amendment tomorrow; so, that this matter will be on the Governor's desk and not available for any other matter."

"Thank you very much."

"The question is, 'Shall Amendment #1 be adopted?' All in favor vote 'aye'; opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk will take the record. On this Motion there are 113 'ayes'. Schoenberg, 'aye', Edley 'aye'. Mr. Lawfer, 'aye'. Any other changes? Representative Frederick changes from 'no' to 'aye'. Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Motion, there's 117 'ayes' and 0 'nays', and Amendment #1 is adopted. Further Amendments?"

"No further Amendments."

"Third Reading. Senate Bill 553. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill. Oh never mind, it's been read a second time previously. Are there any Amendments?"

"Floor Amendment #1, offered by Representative Kubik."

"Representative Kubik."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This Amendment is offered by both myself and Representative Currie, it incorporates the provisions of House Bill 1375, which was previously passed by this House. It is a Department of Revenue initiative. It contains no changes in taxes, other than to codify a federal mandate on international fuel tax agreements. So, I would be happy to respond to any questions, and would urge your support of Amendment #1."

"Is there any discussion? The question is 'Shall 92  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 Amendment #1 be adopted? All in favor say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it and the Amendment's adopted. Further Amendments?"

"The Gentleman from Kankakee, Representative Novak, on the question."

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, thank you. Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Senate Bill 186 is now as complete in its Amendments. As we indicated, the...there are three Amendments now on this Bill. The first Amendment deals with the very important municipal issue dealing with water testing at local communities desperately need with respect to a reduced fee that the EPA allows, it's a very important issue that the Illinois Municipal League and every city and village all over the State of Illinois has been lobbying for extensively since the cut backs occurred some time ago. Another Amendment we just adopted, concerned the breakout in the tipping fees between the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, and the Environmental Protection Agency, and the other Amendment concerns the incinerator qualifications at the...for the Robbins facility in south Cook county. I ask that we pass this Bill on Third Reading." 93  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993

"Is there further discussion? The Gentleman from Will, Representative Wennlund, on the question."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield."

"Does this Amendment put back in place the subsidy for the Robbins incinerator?"

"This allows the Robbins incinerator, the process to continue so that they can qualify for the subsidy, yes."

"This was after Attorney General Burris kind of disqualified them somehow, and now... So, what we're were saying now is, we're gonna let the ratepayers of Commonwealth Edison subsidize the construction of the Robbins incinerator?"

"Attorney General Burris..."

"This is the result of paying the difference between the cost to produce electricity?"

"They have to pay that back anyway."

"But, in the meantime, the ratepayers of Commonwealth Edison for instance, would be subsidizing by paying the difference between what it costs Comm Ed to produce electricity; and what, in fact, at 2¢ a kilowatt hour and whatever it costs the Robbins incinerator to generate electricity, that they have...that Comm Ed has to buy."

"Well, that may be correct, but they still ave to pay the money back."

"They have to pay the money back at some point in time, was it twenty years?"

"Yes."

"Okay, so... Just so everybody in the House knows that this Amendment is back before you, and what it could end up doing is increasing utility rates for existing customers, because for at least a period of some time, maybe up to 94  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 twenty years, Commonwealth Edison is going to have to subsidize the cost of producing electricity at the incinerator because they'll be forced to buy it at higher cost, when they can produce it at only 2¢ a kilowatt hour. So, you ought get strong consideration on that before ya vote on it. Thank you."

"Representative Novak."

"Speaker, I would just like to correct the statement that was made by Representative Wennlund. This is a state tax credit. It has nothing to do with the ratepayers concerning Con-wealth Edison's rates. It's absolutely erroneous. This is a state tax credit, and the actual impact on the State's General Revenue fund will not occur until the year 2020, or 2010 I should say. It's a state tax credit."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Balanoff."

"Yes. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is a Bill that has a good example of some things that are good and some things that are bad. The idea of the water testing portion certainly I think that many of us could agree with. The idea of a tax subsidy for incinerators, I think is an outrage, and I think it's something that should not happen. The split of the tipping fee, the change in the tipping fee between the IPA and the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, I would suggest that we talk to the Department of Energy and Natural Resources, who would lose money, and I would suggest they're probably in opposition to this. I think the correct vote on this Bill is a present vote, and we should send the good portions, there are certainly enough Conference Committees and Bills out there that we could put the water testing portion on, but it's certainly something 95  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 that does not deserve an 'aye' vote."

"The Lady from Cook, Representative Maureen Murphy."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield."

"Basically, this does not add to the subsidy. The subsidy was there and it changes the date, is that correct Representative?"

"Correct. That is correct, Representative."

"All right. I know there's other legislation. In fact, 979 is one of them that has to do with the subsidy. But what about... Could you talk more about the water? The a..."

"The water fees?"

"Explain to our colleagues that the Municipal League and our various municipalities are looking for some respite and relief with regard to the..."

"Yes. It's an absolutely..."

"Could you outline that briefly?"

"Yes. A number... A little bit over a year ago the EPA's budget was cut to a large degree, and the lab testing...lab testing services that they provide our small communities... Mr. Speaker, could we have some order please?"

"Yes. The noise level has increased. This is important legislation, please give the Gentleman some order and some attention."

"Representative, and Members of the House. About a year and a half ago, the agency budget for the EPA was cut substantially, and what happened was it impacted their ability to provide a service to local cities and villages with respect to testing water, which is something that the U.S. EPA requires, something that's very important for the 96  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 health and welfare of the citizens of our communities. For a small community at the present time to go out now and spend $2,000 or $3,000 to $4,000 even higher amounts with a private lab is very prohibitive with small communities. The EPA, before the budget cutbacks, were allowed to provide this service by analyzing the water for municipalities at a much, much, much reduced rate and fee. So, that's why it's very important that we put this system back in order so we can help deal with the public health and welfare in communities, by allowing them, or assisting them in testing their water and to save them tremendous amounts of money."

"Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Morrow. Pardon me, had you concluded your remarks Representative Murphy? Gentleman from Cook, Representative Morrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in favor of Senate Bill 186. One of my colleagues on this side of the aisle got up and made some comments, and I'd kind of re...have to remind him that last year there was an issue that was brought up before this Body that would've concerned his district, and I fought to help him because he wanted me to help him with an issue that affected his district, and that was the issue of the third airport. The people of his district did not want that airport, and I fought damn hard to make sure that the people of his district had a chance to have their concerns taken into account. Senate Bill 186 also takes into account some people of someone else's district on this side of the aisle, and the people of that district want that landfill or that waste incinerator built in their community. So, I rise in support of Senate Bill 186. If 97  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 we start getting into the practice of 'I'm not gonna take care of something that you want in your district', I'm gonna remind you and I'm gonna make sure that you're reminded of the fact that one day soon you're gonna have something in your district and you're gonna need our votes on, whether it's pro or con, and as I said last week, I'll be there to help you. Representative Murphy, Harold Murphy, wants this for his district and I see no reason not to support him. Vote green on Senate Bill 186."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Dart."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too rise in opposition to this Bill. This is a Bill that has some things that many be good in it, it has others that are not so good. As Representative Wennlund mentioned before, there are other things in this...in our budget that we should be talking about now instead of sending subsidies to incinerating companies from out of our state. This is not what our priority should be. We talking about a school budget now in Chicago that's 400 and some million in the hole, and we talkin about sending subsidies to a incinerator company from Pennsylvania. That is not where our priority should be, and the other matter too, about sending something for someone's district. As I mentioned before on the Floor and I'll reiterate again, there's nobody here that lives closer to where this incinerator's gonna go, it's about two miles from my house. I'm gonna have to, and people in my area are gonna be breathing in the lead and the mercury and everything else in the air for the rest of our lives. As I mentioned, there's some good things in this Bill, but there's some real bad things too, and I oppose this, and I urge a 'no' vote."

"Gentleman from Cook, Representative Steczo." 98  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Steczo."

"Thank you Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield."

"Representative Novak, getting back to the incinerator issue. You indicated that this provides a special break or a special consideration for the a...for the Robbins incinerator."

"Representative Steczo, I think you were the author, or the chief Sponsor, of the waste energy alternative legislation that was signed into law in 1986, look at him smiling, in 1987. What this Amendment does, is allows the Robbins project to become eligible, to become eligible for that rate subsidy, okay, and it is a tax credit. It has nothing to do with any negative impact on the ratepayers with respect to the Comm Wealth Edison environment as far as all the ratepayers are concerned."

"The reason for the question was, in terms of eligibility, why is it necessary for us to come in and do something special so they'll be eligible for the subsidy? Weren't they eligible already?"

"No. We had to change the date. In the law, the law had a May 1, I think 1989 date I believe and we had to change that because at the time the project was starting there was, of course, much public opposition, public hearings, lawsuits and all other administrative situations, and by the time the process completed they finally got the siting permit, and now the court and EPA has signed off on the project the time period had lapsed. So, we need to take that date out so they can still be eligible to apply to be approved for the rate subsidy."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Motion and to the Bill. I think that Representative Balanoff and Representative 99  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 Dart suggested that this legislation had some bad parts in it, and as I recall, when the rate subsidy was first passed many, many years ago, it was pretty much taken for granted that all those different facilities had...would qualify for whatever rate subsidy there would be. The Gentleman has just indicated that because of a large amount of public opposition to this project, that this project now fails to qualify it has to be provided, in essence a special exemption, and I'm not sure about any one of you here in the House, but anybody who has been here for awhile knows that we in the past have, have dealt with the question of special exemptions very, very carefully and in many cases, in most cases, have frowned upon those kind of special exemptions for different kind of projects. So, I would agree with Representative Balanoff in realizing that there are some provisions in this Act that are necessary like water testing. The fact is, there are some provisions in this Bill to especially, with regard to that incinerator project, that has engendered so much opposition in the area where it's to be built, that if a proper vote on this Motion or on this Bill is a present vote, knowing that we can always come back in the time allotted to us and find another place for the good portions of this Bill. So, I would encourage a present vote on this legislation."

"The Gentleman from DuPage, Representative Persico."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he will."

"Representative Novak, I have a few questions. There seems to be a lot of 'unknowns' in this Bill for some Members on our side of the aisle, and I just want to clarify a few things. Number one, basically what this Bill 100  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day does, is two May 26, 1993 things. It freeze...it abolishes existing fees for local municipalities to test their water, is that correct?"

"Yes."

"And most of us consider that the good part of this Bill."

"It's all good, Representative Persico. But, that is...that is a..."

"All right. I just wanted to make sure that my Members realize that."

"That's a real good part of the Bill, really hard to resist."

"It is pretty hard to resist. Secondly, the Robbins incinerator, by requalifying them, are there any other incinerators in the State of Illinois that currently receive a state subsidy?"

"No. Absolutely not."

"Will this Bill open it up to any other incinerators in Illinois?"

"Absolutely not."

"So you..."

"Absolutely not. This is only specific for the Robbins project."

"So, you draft it carefully enough that it only will affect the city of Robbins?"

"Right. It doesn't have anything to do with the proposed tire to energy facility in Fort Heights, it has nothing to do with that. It doesn't have anything to do with a bio-mass facility, no it doesn't."

"How about any incinerator that only deals with solid waste though?"

"Yes." 101  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day

"And that's only Robbins at this point?"

"Only Robbins."

"Thank you. To the Bill, as May 26, 1993 Representative Novak pointed out, there are some real good things in this Bill. The other part is, you do have to realize Members, that this is a $7.5 million subsidy from the State of Illinois for the next twenty years for the city of Robbins, so vote accordingly to your conscience in that regard."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Harold Murphy." Murphy, H.: "Yes, would the Sponsor yield?"

"He indicates he'll yield." Murphy, H.: "I would like to speak to the Motion, and urge all House Members to vote in favor of this Motion. We have subsidy all over the State of Illinois. We're talking about on the broad side of testing water and make sure that it's clear, and everyone is agreeing with that. So, that if you can agree with that, you can agree with an 'aye' vote on this Motion. Thank you."

"The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Balthis."

"Thank you Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I a...very curious when we start talking about subsidies around here. I remember we voted for a coal Bill, we voted for ethanol and a few other things where we put subsidies in place. You know, isn't it surprising that we're worrying about the taxpayer on this issue, and we're not worried about the taxpayer when we give out subsidies for ethanol, subsidies for coal. I think it's time we got serious about who's money we're spending here and look at what this is all about. Representative Novak pointed out correctly that a few years ago people in opposition to this, that they passed this legislation, and today they're 102  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 speaking against it. Sounds to me like we have power politics in play here. I think it's time we stopped and said if we're gonna help everybody in the state, we need to help everybody in the state. If we're help certain areas and not others, then let's stand up and say that's what we're all about. It's the taxpayers dollars whether we're doing it for coal or whether we doing it for the ethanol. This time we're doing it for waste to energy. I think we should support this Bill."

"The Gentleman from Kankakee, Representative Novak, to close. We have one more person requesting an opportunity to speak, Representative Black."

"Yes. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise to strongly support Representative Novak's Motion to accept this Bill as amended. In all due respect to those who have spoken against it because of Amendment #3 and an incinerator, I would remind all of my colleagues downstate that the longer, the longer you effectively deny the ability for an incinerator to go on line, the more pressure is going to be on downstate to accept solid waste from the city of Chicago and the surrounding areas. This Robbins incinerator was approved a year ago, and underwent a second siting process that was extremely unusual. Last but by no means least, Amendment #4 to this Bill is a Bill that Representative Hicks and I have been working on for almost a year. I know of no municipality or city or school district in this state that does not strongly support Amendment #4 that was embodied in House Bill 233. Without this, we simply are going to bankrupt some of our units of local government. So, when all is said and done, and I agree with Representative Morrow, it's time to stand up and be 103  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day May 26, 1993 counted, it's time to vote 'aye' on this Bill."

"The Gentleman from Kankakee, Representative Novak to close."

"Yes Sir, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I think the Bill has been debated fully on its merits, and I'd ask my colleagues for their affirmative support, thank you very much."

"The question is, 'Shall Senate Bill 186 pass?' Those in favor vote 'aye'; those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is open. Clerk...voting is open, Mr. Clerk. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Vote McGuire 'aye'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question there are 77 voting 'aye'; 22 voting 'no', 17 voting present and Senate Bill 186, having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. On the Order of Resolutions, appears House Resolution 945, Representative Granberg. Representative Granberg. Representative Granberg. The Gentleman from Clinton, Representative Granberg."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 945 simply calls for the department to adopt a methodology for the placement of DD individuals. They have worked in this with the cooperation of the Health and Facilities Planning Board, the Department of Mental Health. I don't believe there are any objections. I would move for its adoption."

"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of House Resolution 945. Those in favor of the Motion signify by saying 'aye'; those opposed by saying 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolution is adopted. The Gentleman from 104  66th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 Cook, Representative Dart, for what purpose do you rise, Sir?"

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to remove my Motion to reconsider the vote on House Bill 898. Withdraw my Motion."

"Gentleman withdraws his Motion to reconsider.... Is that House Bill 898, Sir? The Gentleman withdraws his Motion to reconsider the vote on House Bill 898. On Supplemental House Calendar #1, Order of Concurrance, appears Senate Bill 419, Representative Capparelli."

"Gentleman moves to reconsider the vote by which Senate Bill 419 passed. Is the Gentleman... Pardon me."

"House Bill. House Bill."

"Reconsider the vote by which the House concurred in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 419. Does the Gentleman have leave? Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Before I could agree to give leave, who made the original Motion on this Bill? I don't... It wasn't Representative Giorgi was it?"

"The Chair is informed that the Sponsor made the original Motion, Sir."

"What was the original Motion? Did we nonconcur or accept the Amendment? What did we do?"

"The Chair is informed that the House concurred."

"And...And so is it... An inquiry of the Chair? What I'm trying to get at is do we want to just simply nonconcur in the Amendment that deleted the effective date?"

"Representative Capparelli."

"No. We concurred with the original Bill, but now I 105  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 66th Legislative Day want to May 26, 1993 reconsider that concurrence and bring it back, because I understand that we have something else to do with it. I have no idea."

"All right, thank you very much. I appreciate your patience."

Speaker Dunn: "Does the Gentleman have leave to reconsider the vote by which the House concurred in Senate Amendment #1 to House Bill 419?

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly. Joint House Resolution 34 recognizes that the fact that the State of Illinois will be having a birthday this year. We recognize birthdays all the time on the House Floor, but the State of Illinois will be celebrating its 175th birthday, its sesquicentennial birthday. This Resolution will form a bipartisan commission to make recommendation as to the proper way to celebrate and to commemorate the state's 175th birthday. I would ask leave of the Body to amend on its face the appointment date on line 64 from May 1, 1993 to July 1, 1993."

"Gentleman requests leave to amend the Resolution on its face. On that question, the Gentleman from Vermilion, Representative Black."

"Representative Black, the Chair is informed that committee was discharged with regard to this Resolution earlier today."

"All right, I see it on the sheet that was handed out. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker."

"Now does the Gentleman have leave to amend the Resolution on its face? Hearing no objection, the request to the Amendment on its face is hereby adopted. Representative Edley, on the Resolution as amended."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"

"Indicates he'll yield."

"Representative, with apologies to you, I don't have a copy of this Resolution, and I certainly don't intend to stand in opposition to the appropriate ceremony, but I know you're very protective of state funds. Does this Resolution... Does it require us to spend any money?"

"There's no expenditure of state funds, Representative Black. I'm gonna send you the Resolution so you can read it."

"All right, I would appreciate it. I...as you know, I don't like to vote on anything I at least haven't seen. So, you're not asking that we appropriate any money for any ceremony or any other a...?"

"No, No. We leave that to the departments to come up with a proper way that they feel would be proper to recognize the state's 175th anniversary. The Bipartisan Commission, the members on that commission would not be paid."

"But the a... All right, now I have it and I appreciate your bringing it over. The commission, however, can accept private donations and dollars to bring about the appropriate ceremony?"

"Yes, that's the...that has been the practice in past commissions that have recognized the state's birthdays. I think the 150th. This was modeled after that commission."

"All right. So if... But, it wouldn't be your intent...? Now I assume that that commission could also accept appropriated tax dollars, but that would not be your intent, correct?" 108  STATE OF ILLINOIS 88th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE May 26, 1993 66th Legislative Day

"That would not be my intent to exspend tax dollars on this...on this commission, and there may be a department that might want to include some printing or something like that, that would be fine. But, it's not my intent that we expend tax dollars in some kind of a grand party or something like that."

"All right. I appreciate your patience, Representative, and appreciate getting the chance to read the Resolution; and, Representative Ryder, has informed me that he very much enjoyed the 100th anniversary of the State of Illinois and hopes that this passes and so he can enjoy the 175th, with that I join you in support."
