"Mr. Reis. Mr. Reis, did you wish to call House Bill 4836? It’s on page 7 of the Calendar, on the Order of Amendatory Vetoes. Mr. Reis."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I move to override the Governor’s Amendatory Veto on House Bill 4836."
"The Gentleman moves to override the Veto of the Governor. The Chair recognizes Mr. Franks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor yields."
"Thanks. Representative, why did the Governor veto this Bill?"
"Well, I have my opinions on that. I… I’m not sure that the Governor wants sunshine in… in government. He did a Executive Order creating a similar commission that never had anyone appointed to it, and I don’t think that his Amendatory Veto is constitutional. I think it just delayed actions and we went a whole year without having this commission meet to truly provide sunshine in State Government."
"On the Governor’s statement, did he amendatorily veto this Bill so that he could appoint four members of the commission himself?"
"That was part of his message in his Veto, yes." 09600146.doc 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010
"And right now, the way you passed the Bill, and I know we passed it unanimously in both the House and Senate, the legislative Members would be appointed by the four Legislative Leaders, as well as the public members, would be appointed by the Legislative Leaders. Correct?"
"Correct."
"So, the Governor was looking for power sharing. He wanted to… he wanted to name half of the commission. Correct?"
"Well, it wouldn’t be half. It would be a third."
"Pardon me."
"It wouldn’t be a half. It would be a third. Four…"
"Well, it’s my understanding that he wanted to name four…"
"Well, we would have four, one from each caucus. Four business people would be a total of eight. So, he wanted to add…"
"Oh, he wanted…"
"…four more."
"…he wanted to add four."
"And… and Representative, we really don’t have a choice here because this is noncompliant."
"I’m sorry. I couldn’t hear you."
"I know you’re trying to look into the details as to why the Governor amendatorily vetoed this, but his Amendatory Veto is noncompliant. We going to let this Bill die and nothing would happen? We would have no sunshine commission, or we move to override?"
"Why is it noncompliant?" 09600146.doc 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010
"It’s beyond the constitutional authority of the Governor to rewrite a Bill the way that this has been rewritten."
"Do we have a legal opinion on that? Is that what the parliamentarian has said?"
"You may want to ask the…"
"Mr. Franks, the parliamentarian has opined that the Governor’s Amendatory Veto is noncompliant with the Constitution."
"Oh, thank you. I was unaware of that. That’s… if that’s what our parliamentarian says, then thank you. That would… then I’ll stand with you on the override."
"Okay. Thank you."
"Mr. Dunkin."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor yields."
"It’s… it’s a little loud. I couldn’t hear the complete… some of… some of all the answers, but I’m looking at your commission, Representative. Are there any requirements that commiss… that the commission reflect a ratio of the geographical makeup of the state?"
"Representative, I appreciate your comment along… in that issue, but that’s something that should have been happened this summer. Nothing that the Governor does truly allows that. And once again, the Governor’s Amendatory Veto is noncompliant. So, either we let this entire Bill die, or we vote to override."
"So…"
"We can’t change… we can’t change what you’re trying to achieve…" 09600146.doc 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010
"Well, Representative, why wouldn’t it…"
"…by not overriding the Veto."
"Why wouldn’t it make up the ratio and geographical of demographic of the State of Illinois, if it’s a commission that deals with the entire state? That’s a question, Representative."
"I thought it was a statement."
"Come again?"
"I thought you had a statement."
"No. That’s a question. Why wouldn’t it?"
"Rep…"
"You’re the Sponsor of the legislation, correct?"
"Representative, you’re debating the original Bill again. That is not what the issue is here. The Governor’s Amendatory Veto is noncompliant, and we can redebate the whole context of the original Bill, but that’s not what's at issue here."
"Well… Representative…"
"The parliamentarian has ruled that the AV is noncompliant and we can either let the Bill die, or we vote to override."
"How much will this cost to operate this commission, Representative?"
"Hopefully, we’ll save a lot, a lot, a lot more than what it’s going to cost. There’s expense… I’m not even sure expenses are involved with this, but this is going to go through each agency and look at what is truly needed, and said… shed light on what the government is spending nearly $60 billion a year on." 09600146.doc 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010
"Is it… so, is there a funding source that it’ll at least come from?"
"Representative, we’re talking about the AV, not the context of the Bill."
"Representative, that… To the Bill. House Bill 4836 creates a sunshine commission to examine the efficiency of this State Government programs. Unfortunately, the commission does not represent the diversity of our state, and there are no provisions guaranteeing that the commission will operate openly and transparently, and it speaks to the very nature of this legislation. I think we need to pull this out of the record until it can reflect the diversity of the state, and it’ll have the level of transparency, and it’ll operate openly, other than just having bankers finance and… and typical accountants who are not necessarily, again, completely reflective of the ratio and geographical diversity of the great State of Illinois. So, Representative, I would encourage that you pull this from the record and come up with another Bill that reflects some of the tenants that have… of the questions that I’ve raised and that you know needs to make sense because when you’re looking at State Government, you just can’t take a banker, an accountant, or a finance expert and say, this is how State Government should be because they all bring a different disposition, as well, to a commission such as this right here. And so, I would encourage a 'no' vote. Thank you."
"Mr. Eddy."
"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?" 09600146.doc 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010
"The Sponsor yields."
"Representative, at any time during the long process that you used to pass this Bill, did the Governor contact you about adding seats or changing the composition?"
"No, he did not."
"At any time, did anyone contact you about the membership and how it should be different, and how it should reflect a certain kind of mix?"
"No, it did not."
"And this Bill passed 114 to 0. Nobody objected to the Bill. Now, Representative Reis, and very quickly to the Motion, has one choice. He either has the option of overriding the Veto or letting this Bill die, and there’s no reason in the world to let the Bill die. The ruling of noncompliant means he can’t accept the Veto. He cannot accept the amendatory language. He has to either a) let the Bill die, or make a Motion to override the Bill, a Bill that passed on a unanimous vote. This is a simple one. All we have to do is support a Bill we supported before because that’s the only choice Representative Reis has. I strongly urge everyone in here to support the Bill they supported unanimously before. Thank you."

The Chair has ruled that that was noncompliant and the only option I have is to override the Governor. As I said, it had 109 votes. I’d be glad to answer any questions, and I’d appreciate a ‘yes’ vote on the Motion to override."
"The Gentleman moves to override the Veto of the Governor. The Chair recognizes Mr. Franks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Sponsor yields."
"Representative, I understand the Governor’s Veto is noncompliant. So, in order to have the original intent I think we all voted for except for a few Members, we’d have to override. I know that since we’ve voted, I’ve gotten a lot of letters from local schools this morning I got, I don’t know, maybe 10 or 12 faxes asking us to reevaluate our position. Have you received those same types of communications?"
"I have received some, maybe not as many as you. They have suggested in the letters that there’s a mandate in this Bill. And Representative, I want to be about as clear 09600146.doc 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010 as I can; there is no mandate. There are two components to the Bill. One would allow for self-management by kids that have been given the okay by their physician, their endocrinologist, in con… in conjunction with their parents and the school. The second is to seek out a volunteer in the event the child cannot self-manage. This is a Bill that’s been worked on for the last seven years. We passed a Bill out of this chamber a number of years ago where there was a mandate on school districts. That is not in here, and I’m… to be quite frank and blunt about it, the suggestion that it’s a mandate I think is erroneous… is not, I think, is erroneous. So, I think we've cleared that in the original Bill when it passed here last spring."
"Thank you. 'Cause I was concerned I was getting these. I appreciate you clarifying that there’s not a mandate. And… and I’m not sure what they’re… Was there any other criticisms that they had that you are aware of? I think that we were getting some letters from school nurses."
"School nurses have… have objected and look, I… I think I’ve said this, Representative, before. In an ideal world, we would have a school nurse in every school to take care of kids with diabetes and asthma, and a variety of illnesses. That does not exist in the world we live in, in Illinois; that’s unfortunate. And so, the school nurses have suggested that this is an attempt to get rid of them. I would argue the exact opposite, that we would… I will continue to advocate for school nurses in the schools. In our situation, with our daughter, we’ve been fortunate enough to have a school nurse. So, the school nurses have 09600146.doc 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010 been… at one point, I thought they were going to be neutral. We had been working with the nurses. That’s changed since the passage. I’m not sure why it’s changed, but they have had some concerns."
"Thank you. I got the same arguments. I received an argument yesterday that… along those lines and I said, well, there’s… we don’t require school nurses. So, this would be no way in getting rid of them, as well."
"Not at all."
"So, I… I appreciate you clarifying that as well."
"Good questions. Fair questions."
"Thank you."
"Mr. Durkin."
"To the Bill. You know, I just want to briefly speak to this. I guess you really don’t know too much about type I diabetes until it reaches your home. And my daughter was diagnosed with type I diabetes the first week of June this past summer. It’s a very traumatic affect on our family, and it was a rough summer. But what I learned, in a very short amount of time, is that you don’t need be… you don’t need to be a nurse to be able to administer insulin. My wife and I, we live very close to our school. We have a nurse at my daughter’s gra… grammar school. We’re very fortunate. But it’s not us that… we’ve got it under control. We can manage it, but there are places where there aren’t schools that have nurses where, also, where parents cannot get to the school at lunchtime or at snack time when the child will need to have the insulin administered. So, if they’re going to either tell them you 09600146.doc 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010 don’t eat lunch, or if you are going to eat lunch, we’ll catch up with you later. That’s just not right. But the fact is, many of you know me. I’m able to measure the insulin. I’m able to administer it. My 10-year-old stepdaughters have been able to do it, as well. This is a good Bill. I hope you can support it. It has been worked on year after year after year. So, I would ask that you support this override, and we’ll deal with the other issues later. But this is incredibly important for those kids in those schools who don’t have the nurses, as I said earlier, or the parents are not able to physically get to the school to administer the… the insulin. And the fact is, our schools do have responsible individuals who could take up that task. I can do it. There are people in our schools can do it as well. Please support Representative Cross with this Motion."
"Mr. Miller."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. It’s been a great joy for me to work with Leader Cross on this Bill, in support of this. This is something that’s been long overdo and a lot of the concerns have been worked out. Representative Durkin talked about his real life experience dealing with the delivery of insulin, and how it’s affect his life, and his child’s life, his step-child’s life, and others. Clearly, Leader Cross has concerns in the same in terms of juvenile diabetes. Administering insulin is something a child can do. It’s something that can be monitored by a guardian or a parent, or some body led to be responsible for this. This is only the right thing to do. 09600146.doc 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 146th Legislative Day 11/16/2010 It is not infringing upon any nursing. It is just filling a void which is much needed. I think part of our role is to help fill areas in government where we can be assistance to something as… as this. In terms of some of the liability issues, I know that Leader Cross, myself, others, have talked about and worked through. And the mere fact that it is given permission with a parental involvement, with the child involvement, and school involvement as to what we should do. I would ask all Members of the General Assembly to support this Bill."
Speaker Madigan: "The question is, ‘Shall the veto of the Governor be overridden?’ Those in favor signify by voting ‘yes’; those opposed by voting ‘no’. Have all voted who wish?
