"Mr. Clerk."
Clerk Rossi: "Committee Reports. Representative Currie, Chairperson from the Committee on Rules, to which the following measure was referred, action taken on February 3, 1998, reported the same back with the following recommendation: 'be approved for consideration' House Bill 263."
"Mr. Black."
"Excuse me, Mr. Speaker, the noise level I couldn't hear the Clerk. What was he saying? Waiving a posting requirement or..."
Speaker Madigan: "He was trying to... He was trying to tell the Members about a good friend of his who is in a business of selling hearing aids. So listen closely."
"I'm going to do the best I can."
"Mr. Clerk, for the benefit of Mr. Black."
"Thank you."
Clerk Rossi: "Representative Currie, Chairperson from the Committee on Rules, to which the following measure was referred, action taken on February 3, 1998, reported the 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998 same back with the following recommendation: 'be approved for consideration' Conference Committee Report on House Bill 263."
"On page 2 of the Calendar, on the Order of House Bills - Second Reading, there appears House Bill 2471. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."
"House Bill 2471 a Bill for an Act amending the Park District Code. Second Reading of this House Bill. No Committee Amendments. No Floor Amendments. No Motions filed. The Fiscal Note and the Home Rule Note that had been requested on the Bill have been filed."
"Is Representative Slone in the chamber? Do you wish to move this Bill to Third Reading? The notes have been filed. All right. Mr. Clerk, place the Bill on the Order of Third Reading. Mr. Black, do you wish to consider House Bill 2473? Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."
Clerk Rossi: "House Bill 2473 a Bill for an Act concerning the location of adult entertainment facilities. Second Reading of this House Bill. No Committee Amendments. Floor Amendment #1, offered by Representative Black, has been approved for consideration."
"Mr. Black."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The Amendment simply clarifies and it was at the request of the committee that the affected area that would be covered under the Adult Entertainment Act would only be within a thousand feet of the preserve i.e. the property operated as a forest preserve. Not the boundary of the forest preserve district. Simply a clarifying Amendment, I move acceptance."
Speaker Madigan: "The Gentleman moves for the adoption of the Amendment. Those in favor say 'aye'; those opposed say 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, the Amendment is adopted. Are there any further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"Third Reading. On the order of concurrence there appears HJR 46. Representative Currie. Representative Currie. On the order of concurrence HJR 46. Representative Currie."
"Thank you, Speaker. I move the House concur in Senate Amendment 1 to House Joint Resolution 46. That was the Adjournment Resolution the Senate wanted to add some perfunctory days that's all the Amendment does. But we're required to concur in that Resolution so I'd appreciate your support for the Motion to concur."
"Mr. Black."
"Inquiry of the Chair, Mr. Speaker. Is it... is it normal procedure for the Senate to amend the House Adjournment Resolution?"
"There is a lot of amends that the Senate should do, you know that."
"Well, I would... I have an Inquiry of the Clerk. The rumor is sweeping the Floor that one of the Senators run outside yesterday and saw his shadow and they won't be back for six weeks. Is there any truth to that?"
"That may be okay."
"That would be fine with me."
"Right."
"I... I'm somewhat shocked and appalled that the Senate would amend an Adjournment Resolution. Did they amend it? What is the Amendment? Did they amend it so they wouldn't have to be here for the next two weeks? How did they amend it? Maybe we're not suppose to be here I don't know what the Amendment is." 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998
"In my experience, Representative, they far prefer passing Senate Joint Resolutions in respect to adjournment and every time we pass a House Resolution in respect to adjournment they amend it or they ignore it they bottle it up in the Rules Committee. So I wasn't surprised at this action at all and in fact all the Amendment does, it doesn't do us any good, it merely adds some perfunctory days to their schedule."
"Well, I don't have any problem with that and I would gladly vote on the Senate Adjournment Resolution but they have to be in Session to pass one over to us. So I'm not sure we'll see that for a month or so. But this seems like a reasonable Amendment to me."
"The Lady moves to concur with the Amendment. Those in favor say 'aye'; those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, the House does concur in the Senate Amendment to the Adjournment Resolution. Mr. Clerk, anything further? The Chair recognizes Representative Woolard for the purpose of an announcement. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you can give your attention to Representative Woolard."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House Agriculture Committee, the committee will not meet today as scheduled. The committee meeting is canceled. Thank you."
"The Chair recognizes Representative Hartke."
"Thank you very much. Remind the Democrats that we will be having a Caucus upon adjournment in Room 114 for about a half hour, please be prompt."
"Would the Members please give their attention to the Clerk who will now read the committee schedule for this afternoon. Mr. Clerk. Please give your attention to 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998 the Clerk."

Thank 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998 you very much."

Speaker Madigan: "Thank you. Mr. Black, did you hear that last announcement?"
"I heard portions of it but Representative Parke was regaling me with tales and I could only hear half of it."
"I noticed that. There's a committee meeting at 9:00 in the morning and the Members would like to have you appear before the committee."
"Well what committee might that be and why so late in the morning?"
Speaker Madigan: "It's the Education Appropriation Committee, because they're all city dwellers they're not country folk."
"Well, I was going to say, 9:00 in the morning to us rural folks is in the middle of the afternoon but I'll do the best I can." 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 86th Legislative Day February 3, 1998
