"House Bill 32, a Bill for an Act amending the Illinois Plumbing License Law. Third Reading of this House Bill." 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995
"Yes, the Chair represents...the Chair would recognize the...the Gentleman from Cook, Representative Parke recognize to the Bill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker Ladies and Gentleman of the House. House Bill 32 amends the Illinois Plumbing License Law excludes from the definition of plumbing the connecting of water and sewer systems to mobile homes and manufactured homes to existing connections in the ground. In essence what we have is in trailer parks we have pads that are established, in mobile homes we have pads that are established by licensed plumbers. They have to use them to lay the pad out but once that nub is left there to hook it up to the system itself you no longer need to use a licensed plumber. We think that this is a reasonable piece of legislation, we find that especially in trailer parks many times it's difficult to find a licensed plumber that would be willing to come and do a hook up when they would rather be working on a job site making more money. So we would ask that this Bill pass, and I would be happy to take any questions."
"Thank you, and on that, is there any discussion? The Chair would recognize the Gentleman from Clinton, Representative Granberg."
"Will the Gentleman yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Parke you've indicated that this is a very simple procedure, but aren't there different types of metals involved in the hook up or the tapping of those services, for the pipes.
"Representative Parke."
"Thank you. It's my understanding that most of the connections should be coterminous that it would not be 5 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 necessarily very often the different kind of pipe hookup."
"Representative Granberg."
"Representative, I'm sorry, did you say that would be in most cases?"
"Representative Parke."
"Is there any quaranty...is there any law or regulation that says these things are of the same type conterminous as you stated?"
"Representative Park."
"Representative it's not my understanding that there is a specific law that does that."
"Representative Granberg."
"So, in fact, that would not necessarily be the case. Representative this would apply strictly to mobile home or trailer parks?"
"Representative Parke."
"It's my understanding it would apply trailer parks and to mobile homes that would be hooked up anywhere in the State of Illinois. Not necessarily just to the trailer park."
"Representative Granberg"
"Why would this not apply to other residences for instance town houses, condominiums, residential properties."
"Representative Parke."
"That's a good question, because it is not and established nub. When they lay the internal plumbing that is what ought to have a licensed plumber to make sure those systems in that home or condominium or town home is done in a way that is properly and will meet code either the village code or the county code, to make sure those hookups are done. What I am asking is, where it's an outside nub where you simply have the water and sewer sitting there not being 6 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 used and we bring in a facility and we hook it up to that facility. That's what we are talking about."
"Representative Granberg"
"So there would be a different standard for people who reside in trailers as opposed to those people who reside in condominiums or town houses or residence...or three bedroom residences."
"Representative Parke."
"Representative that, in fact, would be true by the nature of this Bill. We see nothing wrong with that because, again these are nubs that are sitting there that are not hooked up. When we bring the unit in where there is a manufactured housing or a trailer you simply hook the hose up to the sewer, you hook the hose up to the water and that individual then can proceed to live there. And it does not necessarily need a licensed plumber. Ultimatly...in some areas, it would have to meet certain codes and if they do not have it hookup properly then they would have problems getting a permit for that."
"Representative Granberg."
"So, in fact, with the passage of this legislation if this was to become law. There would be a lower standard for the plumbing for people who live in trailers."
"Representative Parke."
"I'd like to know what difference does it make between an individual hooking up this system or a plumber hooking up this system. If it is a simple hookup what difference does it make, and your opinion of a substandard is not my opinion. I think what we are doing is trying to accommodate consumers without having to pay high rates to a licensed plumber. I see nothing wrong with licensed plumbers doing their jobs that they are paid for, but I 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 think this is not unreasonable to let a person who simply wants to put a trailer on a pad, not have to pay joureymen license plumber rates when they can do it themselves. And I don't think that's unreasonable and I would think that the General Assembly would agree with me."
"Representative Granberg."
"Well Representative you stated earlier that is not necessarily the cases that the pipes would be coterminous, that they would be exactly the same and so there is some degree of difficulty. This is not as simple as one may seem. You stated that in your remarks earlier that there is a difference. There is a potential difference. I would assume then, if that was the case, then you have the possibility of electrolysis with the different pipes. You have a different standard that you're allowing for people who live in trailer parks, a lesser standard, Sir. And that would effect the quality of the water they are entitled to and that would, in fact, be a lesser standard SO people in trailer parks would have the possibility of a lesser standard of water than people who live in condominiums or town houses or other people. Sir, I would...Sir, I would ask...do you what the immediate income is for a resident of a trailer park?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative Granberg, I'm sure your gonna enlighten us, and I'm sure you have a reason for asking that question SO why don't you just tell the Body because I'm not aware of it and then give us your infinite wisdom as to why that's important."
"Representative Granberg."
"Well, Representative what we've seen in this Body so far in the fast track legislation, is a difference in how 8 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 we treat citizens, how we treat working men and women, how we treat working families, and how we treat people that have a great deal of money and a great deal of resources. It seems to me that this is just another way of trying to draw that separation where working men and women receive lesser quality, receive a lesser standard of the quality of water they receive. Now, Sir, I'm just asking, is there a difference in the immediate income of those residents as opposed to others and if so isn't the quality affected...isn't the quality of water affected by your proposed legislation?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative Granberg, let me just say that your standard is a lesser standard I don't believe that that is true. And, in fact, what I am trying to do is take in to consideration those people that do live in trailer parks, which in my district I have a lot of people that do. I'm trying to save them money. I don't think that is unreasonable...I don't think it's unreasonable to try to save money when it is so simple. And I would also point out that a lot of people are quite capable of a taking a...a...joint and moving on to another piece that doesn't fit right and simply buy a connector and hook up the two pieces of metal that may or may not. I mean they're not dumb they are able to handle that, we don't have to hire a licensed plumber to do that kind of work. If there is any possibility of contamination of the water or the sewers we would not be presenting this Bill. We think this is logical this is reasonable and we are taking in consideration the needs of the consumer and this is a good idea."
"Representative Granberg, your time for questions 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 has expired will you bring your questioning to an end?"
"Mr. Speaker, I think I have someone who's willing to lend me, yield five minutes, if that would be appropriate for the a Speaker to allow that."
"I'll allow that on behalf of a...who's that Representative Hoffman? All right. Continue your questioning, Representative."
"I have a question for the Chair, Mr. Speaker. Are all the a...are all the Bills going to be limited to five minutes of debates by each individual Member? Since we are no longer allowed to explain our votes by the House Rules."
"I believe the House Rules allow five minutes for the item that you have brought to the Chair, an explanation of votes are no longer included in our House Rules. Representative Granberg."
"With do...do respect to the Speaker, Sir. I believe I heard you say yesterday that we could talk till the cows come home whether that's in Centralia or Danville or..."
"Well, yes in Danville we use that expression you can talk until the cows come home or five minutes which ever comes first. Yes, Representative Granberg, do you have questions?"
"To Representative Parke, Sir. Hypothetically, Sir, if a plumber is not required to go to the trailer to live up to the village or the town code or the county code and you have a sewer hookup if by the process of freezing and electrolysis because as you indicated the pipes may not be the same. There is that possibility. If that happens, Sir, what would happen when that pipe breaks and you have raw sewage underneath that trailer? Would this legislation have an impact on this?"
"Representative Parke... Representative Parke." 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 17th Legislative Day
"Mr. Speaker, I am sorry I did not hear Representative Granberg's question, could he repeat it and could we be a little more quiet so he has the respect of his questions?"
"Yes, Representative Granberg, do you have questions?"
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Thank you Representative Parke. Representative Parke, hypothetically, if we do not have this law and you have a hookup underneath one of these trailers and the pipes are not the same as you indicated, previously, and you want to conform to the code and hypothetically these pipes break because of freezing electrolysis whatever the standard...the lesser standard is. So then you have a situation where you have raw sewage under these trailers. Now, I would think that would constitute a health hazard. With your Bill would that...that would be the case then would it not. As opposed to a licensed plumber who would conduct this activity."
"Representative Parke."
"Many of the people, especially in my area, are senior citizens who would not have the ability or the skill to take care of that problem and I am sure they would have to call a licensed plumber a part of this system, but I might remind you that the pad has already, been in place put in there by a licensed plumber already, Representative Granberg. It's already there. What we're talking about is a hose that would go from the nub of the trailer to the nub in the platform. So the only thing that could happen is that hose could break or crack or freeze. That could happen and if that, if fact, does happen then they would just go out and buy a new hose and replace it and take care of that problem. Or they would go to the trailer park 11 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 manager and tell him that they have a problem and could they have someone that is a handyman or somebody that work's around the trailer parks come in, and help them take care of the problem. What we're talking about is trying to save these senior citizens that money that could cost anywhere from $50 to $500 hundred to hookup the trailer park depending on what the plumber wants to charge."
"Representative Granberg."
"Well, what we have, Representative, with a due respect is the fact that you have now a lesser standards those people who have raw sewage underneath their trailers will be limited on what can occur. That means they have to go to the landlord, the trailer park owner, whomever, because these things are not installed properly in the first instance. So those people living in these trailer parks can have raw sewage underneath their homes, their residents, because they have not been installed properly that's what we're getting to. Mr. Speaker, to the Bill. I rise in opposition because once again we are faced with the difference on how we treat people in the state, based on how much money they have and their place in society. We have seen this Body in the last three weeks, establish different standards of conduct for those people who have the ability to pay and those people who do not. Once again we're seeing a lesser standard applied to those people who don't have the financial resources, the financial where with all, to have the same standard of living as others. Now, we have a lesser standard for the quality of water they receive, the sewage treatment they receive, and another, again, another lesser standard. If this is what this Body has been about, if this is what this new 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 Majority is about, hurting working men and women, whether it's a Scaffold Act or the quality of water they receive, it's not what this Body should do. This Body has been a Body of all the people, not dependent on how much money you have, not depending on you financial where with all. Ladies and Gentlemen, vote this Bill down we do...do not need to divide society anymore. It shouldn't matter how much money you have, treat people the same."
"Bring your remarks to a close, Representative. Are you completed? All right. Yes, the...Gentleman from Knox, Representative Moffitt recognized for discussion on the Bill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Thank you, Representative Parke, I had some constituents express concern about this and because they have expressed some concern I have some too, and I'd just like to ask you a question or two. This hasn't been mentioned here. If it is a mobile home on private property would this apply to them? Do they have to have a licensed plumber now? Where it's just, they are going to use it for their own residence and is out on a private property. Do they have to have a licensed plumber now?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative Moffitt, it is my understanding that it really doesn't matter if it is private property or not, that this would apply to any mobile home whether it was private property or it was a mobile home property that they would be renting the pad from. I don't understand why that would make a difference maybe you can enlighten us if that creates a problem."
"Representative Moffitt."
"Do...at the present time...do they need to get a 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 licensed plumber? Would this exempt them from needing that? That's the..."
"Representative Parke."
"The final stage...I mean...are you about some guy going into the woods and hooking up his trailer on his own property and does he need a plumber to do that? It's my understanding, and I could be corrected but it's my understanding that to do that you still have to get approval from the county or from the village proper where if you are in a corporated area by the public health department to certify that, in fact, they're meeting the codes. And if it's a pad that they are putting it on that a license plumber still has to be used to do that work because now you are interfering with the fresh water system and your interfere with the sewage system of that area. Because you've got to bring the pipe in from the water and you've got to bring the pipe in. That's still gotta be done by a license plumber. And so really it doesn't matter what we are really talking about is simply the hookup does not have to be done by a license plumber."
"Representative Moffitt."
"Now this only refers to the connections, what if it's the mobile home in the park now the persons going to move that home out so that's a disconnection. Is that the same as a connection?"
"Representative Parke."
"Well, it would be hard to say that that wouldn't be the case, SO I would presume the disconnection should be just as easy as the hookup. And that once you disconnect you just unscrew the system also."
"Representative Moffitt."
"Can you give me any indication by area or wherever you 14 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 want to pick, as an example, what the average cost is currently for a connection. If you want to...you know...state it for a given area where you are familiar with or something."
"Representative Parke."
"Representative Moffitt, I have been told it could take anywhere from two to four hours and whatever the prevailing wage or whatever the wage of a licensed plumber is, that is what those people would have to pay and we just don't think again that that is something the reason we're putting the Bill in. It's not necessary for those mobile home owners to have to pay that fee when, again, they can do it themselves."
"Representative Moffitt."
"Thank you, Representative Parke I appreciate you comments. I still have some concerns but I appreciate your attempts at answering those questions.
"Thank you. The Gentleman from Cook, Representative Lang. You seeking recognition to question?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative why have you limited this Bill just to mobile homes?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative Lang, I apologize, but I was talking. Could you say that one more time?"
"Representative Lang."
"Why have you limited this Bill just to mobile homes, Sir?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative, it's not just a mobile home it's also to manufactured housing, but it is not to...to...housing that would be established as a permanent and any other kind of 15 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 housing other than those two."
"Representative Lang."
"Well, than let me ask the question this way. Why have you picked out these two forms of housing to say that there should be a different standard for plumbing work than in other kinds of housing."
"Representative Parke."
"Because when you hook up all these other systems you have a..."
"Representative Lang, another question?"
"I'm waiting for his answer."
"All right, I think he is in conference. He will be right with you. Representative Parke."
"Representative, those are the two groups that came to me with the legislation and those are the two that indicated that this was a problem."
"Representative Lang."
"Thank you. Don't you feel that this is sort of uneven legislation. If someone came to me with a Bill that exempted certain groups, the first question I would ask them would be well why are other groups exempted. Why are we limiting it to these two? Did you ask that question, Sir?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative, as I stand here, I don't have an answer for your question, and I think that is a valid question. So what I'd like to do, because I'd like the answer myself, Mr. Speaker, would I ask that you take the Bill from the record and when I can get that answer I'd like to come back to the Bill if that's proper."
"Take the Bill out of the record, Mr. Clerk. Mr. Clerk, Committee Reports." 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995
"Representative Stephens, Chairman from the Committee on Executive, to which the following Bills were referred, action taken on February 15, 1995, reported the same back with the following recommendations: 'do pass' Senate Bill 10, 'do pass as amended' House Bills 20, 207.
"Thank you, Mr. Clerk. Still on the Order of Third Reading. We have House Bill 211. Mr. Clerk, read House Bill 211."
"House Bill 211, a Bill for an Act to amend the Township Code. Third Reading of this House Bill."
"Representative Hughes, do you wish to proceed? Yes, Representative from McHenry, Representative Hughes."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Bill 211 amends the Township Code to authorize the township board to donate property with a value of $10,000 or less to a historical society, if the electors declare the property to be surplus and the historical society pays for an appraisal. This Bill is generated by a township in my county that has an old town hall that is in excess of a 100 years old has not been used for about 25 years. The historical society is interested in having the property, keeping the building on its site, using it for a museum for live meetings from time to time that would recreate a typical 100 year old town meeting. The...under this Bill it would allow the township to convey that property to the historical district for those purposes. There was no controversy over this Bill in committee and it is supported by the township officials in Illinois and I would urge a 'yes' vote."
"Thank you, Representative. Is there any discussion? The Chair would recognize the Gentleman from St. Clair, Representative Hoffman. Do you have a question for the Sponsor?" 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995
"Yes, Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield?"
"She indicates she will."
"Yes Representative, what county is this being done for? Is it a county in your district...or township in your district?
"Representative Hughes."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The township is not in my district, it is in McHenry County and it borders my district."
"Representative Hoffman."
"What township is that?"
"Representative Hughes."
"I'm sorry Seneca township."
"Representative Hoffman."
"Specifically, you had indicated that this has to do with I believe and old town hall or fire station. Is that right?"
"Representative Hughes."
"Mr. Speaker, I could not hear the question."
"Ladies and Gentleman, this is Third Reading it's final passage would you please take you conferences outside? Proceed, Representative Hoffman."
"Yes, I would just like the Sponsor to briefly once again because of the noise level to give the Members of the Body a rundown on exactly why we need the specific situation in her area, why we need this piece of legislation."
"Representative Hughes."
"This Bill...applies to the entire state not just to my area. What it does is allow for a township to declare a piece of property surplus and if the value is less than $10,000 to give it to a historical society. So that it can 18 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 be preserved as a museum on sight."
"Representative Hoffman."
"Representative, I'm just trying to get to what specific...do you have something in mind that this is going to assist in, specifically in what township and what are we talking about. So...so I would like a specific example of what this is going to do."
"Representative Hughes."
"I'm sorry, specifically this is an old town hall in Seneca Township in McHenry County. It has not be utilized for a period of roughly 25 years. The intentions for the property are to preserve it on sight. To utilize it as a museum and to utilize it on occasion as a living museum recreating what would have been a typical old town meeting of a 100 years ago or so. Under the statutes they are unable to dispose of the property or convey it at less than fair market value or lease it at less than fair market value."
"Representative Hoffman."
"Two other questions. First of all is surplus defined anywhere? And how can we insure that...what could possibly happen in this situation is, if surplus is defined in such a broad manner my concern is that a township would buy property for another taxing district and then donate it to that historical society or historical district. In essence, circumventing the other laws that put Caps on the amount of taxing authority to that historical society. So do we, anywhere, define what surplus exactly means number one, and then number two is this specifically only allowing us to donate it to a historical society?"
"Representative Hughes."
"As to question number one, the definition of surplus 19 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 property would be by the electorate of the township and it would be of a value of less than $10,000. As to question number two. Yes, it would be specifically to an historical society."
"Representative Hoffman."
"Is there any statutory reference that would point us to a direction as to what surplus is. Because, and my understand or my concern is that the definition of surplus in one township, as is defined by the electors, could be different in another township. So I mean what...what one township and one part of the state view as a surplus may not necessarily jive with what a surplus in another part of the state. Is there any statutory authority that we could point to and say, 'Hey' we're allowing this, because I think...I agree with the concept of your Bill, Representative. I think it's a good Bill. I think...I'm going to vote for it. I just want to have safe guards in place so that we don't...have it abused in other townships. I know that...that your intention is noble and in this specific instance I am for it. But I want to make sure that it is not abused in other areas of the state."
"Representative Hoffman...do you wish her to respond to that? Well good luck, Representative Hughes I didn't get the question, but you might like to respond."
"Thank you, for you confidence. There is no specific definition of surplus, this creates a new section called surplus property in that section and in a second section called donation of surplus property. In both of those instances it specifically states only property to historical societies which I believe narrows this down very much and specifically to $10,000 or less secondly and thirdly by...to be determined by the electors." 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 17th Legislative Day
"Representative Hoffman."
"Very good. Representative, I believe that this is a good piece of legislation and I think everybody should support it."
"The Gentleman from Knox. Representative Moffitt."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"She indicates she will. Representative Hughes."
"I also think this is an excellent Bill, but a couple points of clarification. First, is this of course it is to an historical society that its donated, but is this only if they are a willing receiver, a willing recipient of this? I mean...I can't imagine very often that being a problem, but if it was a building in bad repair and the historical society was in no financial condition to accept it. I...I...would it be correct, if only, if they were willing to accept it?"
"Representative Hughes."
"I believe the answer to that would be 'yes', and under the specifics of this legislation, historical society would be paying for the appraisal and there isn't any way to force them to do that."
"Representative Moffitt,"
"Thank you. So they would only take it if they really wanted it. And I appreciate that. Secondly then are there any provisions or stipulations that they have to keep it or the manner in which they would dispose of it if that would come down the road, you know, where they would want to get rid of it? Is that regulated by statute?"
"Representative Hughes."
"That is not specifically addressed. Some of the issues such as that, it was believed would be felt those should be 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 determined on a case by case basis. That is not specified in this legislation."
"Representative Moffitt."
"Thank you. I think this is an excellent Bill Representative and I certainly intend to support it and urge everyone else to do so also."
"Any further discussion? Chair recognizes the Gentleman from Washington, Representative Deering."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"She indicates she will."
"Representative Hughes...the township is going to give this building to the historical society. Now you said...you mention something that tweaked my interest this is going to be...that could affect townships statewide. Does this allow historical society, once they take over the possession or ownership of a building, does this allow for them in anyway to do backdoor tax increases to do modifications or restoration projects?"
"Representative Hughes."
"Absolutely not."
"Representative Deering."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, that was my concern."
"Any further discussion? Any further discussion? No one seeking recognition, the Chair will recognize Representative Hughes to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would urge support for this Bill again it is to allow preservation a wonderful old facility. It is noncontroversial and it will help us keep something of the past for our future. Thank you."
"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 211 pass?' All those in favor vote 'aye'; all those opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? This 22 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 is final action. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question there are 114 'ayes', no 'noes', and no one voting 'present'. This Bill, having received a Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. The Chair will proceed now to Representative Parke, who had taken House Bill 32 out of the record. He now wishes to bring that back. House Bill 32 Third Reading. Representative Park."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Representative Lang, asked the question that it was obvious in its answer, but I did not see the obvious answer. Representative, to your question. The reason why you do not need to use plumbers for a manufactured housing is cause it's all been already done in the work site where they manufactured by licensed plumbers already and they have just simply...all they have to do...it's a turnkey operation. They simply hook it up to the system and it's ready to go. They don't have to do anything more than that so, it's already been done. A manufactured housing is just like a mobile home that they take from the site where it's manufactured, take it down the road put it on the slab...or the platform area that has already been established by a licensed plumber and it's ready to go. And that is the answer."
"Representative Lang."
"Thank you. What would've the result be if a handyman or homeowner that did this connection didn't do it well and there was a leak and raw sewage? What would be the result to not only that mobile home owner but also the ground beneath the trailer, other homeowners, the land itself? What would happen?"
"Representative Parke."
"The same thing would happen as if a licensed plumber made 23 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 a mistake. The same thing would happen if the lines froze. You would have to correct it and take care of the problem and a...we don't see that an individual hooking up their own system is gonna want to have that happen. They are gonna make sure that's done properly because no one wants raw sewage under their trailer."
"Representative Lang. And may I compliment you on your new microphone stand, Sir."
"Thank you."
"Proceed."
"Isn't it true though, Representative Parke, that if I in my own home either with or without a license plumber have a problem with my sewer pipes and there is a leak the only person it affects is me, but in a mobile home park if there is a leak onto the ground it could have dramatic effects on all the home owners?"
"Representative Parke."
"Your point is well taken, but I don't think that that is what is going to happen. I think people that are going to do their own hooking up are going to try to do everything they can to make sure it doesn't happen and just because they use a licensed plumber does not guarantee, in fact, that, that is going to happen either."
"Representative Lang."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Sponsor for his answers. To the Bill, I think the Sponsor answered the question for us. He said my point was well taken. My point is well taken. If a shoddy connection at one of these manufactured housing sites or one of the mobile home sites allows raw sewage to leak onto the ground it will ruin the ground, it can get into the ground water it can effect the health, and welfare, and safety of all the 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 residence of the mobile home park. If I do this at my home the only person it affects, is me and my family. So there's a real good reason to make sure this work is done with the utmost of care by someone who really knows what they are doing. There are probably some homeowners out there who could do this. Probably some handymen out there that could do this, but our responsibility, particularly in a outdoor setting, which is what a mobile home park is, is to make sure the other residence don't suffer for the failures of one mobile home-owner to do the work properly. Accordingly, a bad connection is a serious, serious health threat to the other owners. That being the case, I think we have a responsibility to protect all the other home-owners in that mobile home park. And, accordingly, I think the law as it stands today gives them more protection than this proposal, therefore I would recommend a 'no' vote."
"Any further discussion? Yes, the Gentleman from Effingham, Representative Hartke."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative Parke, I think you indicated that the time frame in this connection for a trailer is what two to four hours?"
"Representative Parke."
"That's what the plumbers say. It's my understanding that that's what the plumber have indicated."
"Representative Hoffman. Excuse me, Representative Hartke."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm Representative Hartke. This is Representative Hoffman. So what we're talking about is what about $25 an hour for the plumber...a 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 licensed plumber. How often do trailers move in and out of trailer parks? Do they move in and out of trailer parks? How often do you move a trailer out and then another trailer moves in?"
"Representative Parke."
"I really don't know the average is, Representative, but I will tell you the trailer parks in my district are pretty permanent. These people many of them have been there for years because, again, most of them in trailers are senior citizens. And a lot of times it's young couples that are trying to get enough money together so they can eventually buy a home for the first home after they have moved out of it. So I don't know what the average is."
"Representative Hartke."
"Well generally then when the trailer is parked it probably stays there for 15, 20 years. And I would think your saving of $50 or $100 is inconsequential, as far as the cost to make sure the proper hookup is made and health and safety of not only that trailer, but also a neighboring trailers should be taken in consideration. But let's say the trailer does move and another trailer comes in and what you are trying to do is exempt the owners or the trailer park from the statute that says, licensed plumber. Is that right?"
"Representative Parke. Excuse me, one minute Representative. Ladies and Gentleman we're on Third Reading and the noise level just continues to rise to an intolerable level. Mr. Doorkeeper, I see people all over this chamber and I doubt seriously they have any legal authority to be here. I want you to check their passes. I want this group in the back either leave the chamber or show the Doorkeeper your pass. The same as over here on 26 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 the Democrat side. Now this level of nonsense is not going to be tolerated while we are on Third Reading if you don't have business on this floor, retire now, or I'm going to ask the Doorkeeper to escort you from the Floor. Representative Parke."
"To answer your question, Representative Hartke. First of all, I want you and every Member of the Body to understand we're not precluding homeowners from hiring a licensed plumber. If they wish to do that they certainly can. But it says in the Bill from existing utilities connection in the ground. Now there are shut off valves in the ground if its leaking as it's been tried to be made up of how terrible that is. All that somebody has to do is start seeing there is a problem there is a shut off valve for water and sewer they just turn that off. So I don't see it as a serious problem as my colleges on your side would make it."
"Representative Hartke."
"Yes, is there a shut off valve on the sewer drainage as well?"
"Representative Parke."
"I...I...Representative Hartke, I've been told by the people who are working with the manufactured housing that there is a shut off valve on the sewer also."
"Representative Hartke."
"Is the shut off valve on the trailer itself or on the pad?"
"Representative Parke."
"It is...I've asked that question and it's my understanding it's from the pad."
"Representative Hartke."
"It's on the pad of the a...the concrete pad in the 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 trailer park. Okay, I got another question. You said utilities. This is exempting the hookup of utilities to the trailer from licensor...or it's not necessary to use a licensed individual. Is that right?"
"Representative Parke."
"Just for plumbing, Representative Hartke."
"Representative Hartke bring your questions to a close."
"What if...what if electricity is coming up from the ground utilities. Utilities you're saying. Now, electricity is a utility as well. That could be and underground hookup to the trailer as well could it not."
"Representative Parke."
"Representative, this applies to plumbing only."
"Representative Hartke."
"In the first part of that if you look...it says...water...plumbing it says for water and sewer."
"Representative Hartke, your time is about up."
"Mr. Speaker, to the Bill,"
"To the Bill."
"You know, I think I know what we are trying to do here. We are trying to eliminate the need for a licensed plumber to...a...rehook up a trailer once a trailer has been moved. My concern is that if we become agreeable with this concept, the next piece of legislation we're going to see is that...well when you hookup your electricity you don't need a licensed electrician, just any maintenance man in the trailer park can do that. Or individuals can do that. You don't have to follow a certain electrical codes to hook this up. I think that most people and most individuals can hookup a couple of pipes. Anybody with a roll of masking tape can probably do it, but whether it's going to last and 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 be there for the safety and welfare of the people in the trailer court, I'm not sure. I'm very concerned about this piece of legislation and I'm not sure I can support it or not."
"Are there any further questions? Any further discussion? Yes, the Gentleman from Williamson, Representative Woolard."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Sponsor a couple of questions if I may."
"He indicates he will yield."
"Under the existing licensure laws of this state as far as...plumbers are concerned. What does it take to become a licensed plumber in your opinion. Representative Parke?"
"Representative Parke."
"Representative, a...I hold the a...licensing procedure for plumbers...in high esteem because they are a valuable part of our professional work force and I am sure that it is a long journeyman...a long process and I am sure that question was asked by them for me. Perhaps you could share your insight, but that's my opinion I'm sure they do a lot of work to get to the point of being a journeyman."
"Representative Woolard."
"Having been actively involved in the construction business for a number of years and my father a licensed plumber for several of those years. I happen to be very familiar with the process that takes place in the licensure of those people in this state. The health and life safety of each and every one of us is impacted very significantly by the training and knowledge that they have. Not only are we concerned about the environment and the possible spillage that might take place in a residential area by sewage and other things being unloaded on the top of the 29 17th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE February 15, 1995 ground and creating some very adverse situations for all of us to live with. We're talking about something here that can even be more devastating than that. I don't know if any of you have ever heard of a gas explosion. Gas sometimes is a derived from various sources. One of the things that I think that each and everyone of us had better recognize is that there is some serious implications that can come through the sewage that we distribute throughout our sewage systems and local communities. Those leach fields that we put out as far as some of the rural areas of this state. What can happen is we can have an imperfect system that is not trapped properly that through the training the licensed plumbers know how exactly how to accomplish. And insure our safety by doing so, that if someone was there who was not qualified and was not readily available to the procedures, could allow that gas to come up into our house. As it comes into the crawl space underneath or the home itself. Once it accumulates in a very short period of time this can be just as devastating to that facility and those residents within as gas coming from a gas line or anything else. I'm here to tell you that we better make sure that we have properly qualified and trained individuals dealing with something as serious as the sewage connections in our homes. The health and safety are important, but the lives of our kids, family and wives are equally important, and we are dealing with something here that can be totally devastating if we are not careful. I implore you to seek out those people who are successful and passing the licensure laws of this state. Have the ability and knowledge and experience and especially training to insure that our safety is secure. I encourage you to vote 'no', on House Bill 32," 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995
"Yes, Representative Woolard, I assume you were speaking to the Bill. That's not a question, correct? Thank you, all right. Any further discussion? Any further discussion? Representative Saltsman, I see you on my display case I don't see you light blinking. Are you seeking recognition?
"Yes, my light is blinking."
"Fine...fine. Representative Saltsman."
"Is it okay now. Yes, a...Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This legislation would be a serious mistake for the...for health and safety reasons. It is also a blow to the apprenticeship program and to organized labor. It's easy to throw shabby work together and cover it up and let someone who moves in four or five later suffer the consequences. We had this problem in Peoria, Illinois, back in the mid 60's when we annexed a very large area that never came under only codes of any kind and I've seen housing that was put up with just rubber hose ran for service from this program, from the main lines just rubber hose run into these homes which collapsed two and three years later underground. They were put together because they didn't have the properly trained people do it. They did it because the building codes weren't there, and now the people who bought these homes, to look nice up front had a tremendous expense of going back and redoing what was covered up. I urge the defeat of this legislation it's a very nonunion program."
"Any further discussion? Any further discussion? If no one is seeking recognition, the Chair will recognize Representative Parke to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentleman of the House. I think we've had a healthy discussion on the 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 17th Legislative Day February 15, 1995 legislation I think the two previous speakers are certainly trying to point out problems, but quite frankly I respectfully...point out that licensed plumbers are involved up to the point of the nub sticking out of...out of the pad. And all we're talking about is allowing, if a homeowner chooses, he can hired a licensed plumbers to do it is he wants, or he or she wants to. But it's sitting out of the ground all I'm asking is that they can simply take and connect it to that unit. It's pretty simple they out to be able to do it those that feel comfortable doing it will do it, those that are not will hire a licensed plumber...and so I would ask the Body to vote for this good consumer piece of legislation."
"The question is, 'Shall House Bill 32 pass?' All those in favor vote 'aye'; all those opposed vote 'nay'. The voting is open. This is final action. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

"Mr. Speaker, I see we're moving this Bill from Second to Third. Is that the intent right now, there were like 35 some Amendment that were filed in the Education Committee this morning. On this piece of legislation in and...subsequently those Amendments were...were, I believe were assigned to an...committee on...on a Amendments and that a Subcommittee and...I'm not sure we got the final version of that Bill yet. I wonder, are you going to hold this on Second while we get the report back from the various committees on those Amendments?"

Mr. Clerk, are there any announcements? If I could have the attention of the Body the Clerk has asked me to remind all of you that filing deadline is tomorrow. If you are holding Bills that you wish to get filed or you are waiting for last minute check of the language. Would behoove you to file those Bills as filing deadline is tomorrow. Gentleman from DeKalb, Representative Wirsing, are you seeking recognition?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to clarify in todays Calendar it has Senate Bills 241 and 242 listed They, under Elementary and Secondary Education Committee. in fact, should have been listed under the higher Education Committee. The system has them listed as a Higher Education Committee. So it's just an error in the Calendar.
