"The hour of 3:00 having come and gone, the Illinois House of Representatives will come to order. Members and guests are asked to be in their seats, refrain from starting all laptop computers, silence all cell phones and stand for the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. We receive… we shall be led in prayer today by Pastor Timoth Sylvia, who is with the Hope United Church of Christ in Naperville, Illinois. Pastor Sylvia is the guest of Representative Kifowit. Pastor Sylvia."
"Let us be in the spirit of prayer. Holy One, God of love and God of justice, hear our prayers this afternoon. Hear our prayers as we gather in this place where decisions are made that affect the lives of so many in our state. Hear our prayers for all of those who fill these seats, those lifted up by their communities who represent the needs, the values, the passions and the concerns of so many. Fill each and every Member of this House with a spirit of discernment, carefully and prayerfully considering the power that has been invested in them. May pride never enter in. Instead may wisdom and humility flow. Remind them that they are here fully supported by their families, their friends, the people of their districts and also by those who fill the seats around 09800052.doc 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 them. And hear our prayers for those who serve in those supporting roles, especially their family and friends. There are many sacrifices made in order to fulfill this vocation, may they know that these sacrifices are not going unnoticed or unappreciated. The work that is done here, a true response to a deeper calling, is work that can benefit so many yet it is also work that can bring about harm just as easily. The tasks these Representatives have before them are not always simple, not always easy to navigate. Pour out upon them a spirit of gentleness as they go about their work. Pour out upon them a spirit of compassion and pour out upon them a spirit of justice. May they employ their gifts to bring about fairness and equality where it is lacking, may they find ways to work beyond differences for the greater good of the people of Illinois. May they use their time wisely, setting aside selfish or personal agendas so that true justice may prevail. And when today's work is complete, provide all with a time of rest, a time of reflection on their day and a time of preparation for the work of tomorrow. May they travel safely in Your care in the time to come. Blessings upon them and blessings to You, Oh Holy One and may we all, in our work, in our treatment of this fragile planet, in our encounters with friends and strangers alike strive to be a true reflection of the God that we worship to the world we are in. We pray this in Your many names, Amen."

"Mr. Clerk, read House Resolution #203."
" 09800052.doc 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 WHEREAS, Dr. McGee has served as president of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) since 2007, where he has extended and deepened IMSA's statewide presence with the opening of 3 field offices, expanded programs and services, and launched an online teaching and learning initiative; he is recognized as a dynamic leader, speaker, and writer on critical issues in educational policy and practice; and RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we recognize Dr. Glenn McGee on his retirement on June 30 as president of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, thank him for his dedication to the education of Illinois students, and wish him well in all his future endeavors."
"Representative Chapa LaVia."
"Thank you, Speaker. I want to take a moment to pay a little homage to my friend, Mr. Max McGee, who's up here in the gallery with us. He started off when I was first here… before I got here, he was the State Superintendent, then he moved to IMSA and everybody knows how we feel about IMSA in the state. I just wanted to take this time to acknowledge what a great leader he's been in this state and throughout the country because he gets recognized all over the world for all the work that they do with those kids at IMSA. And I wanted… I wanted to give not only just a shout-out to how great he's been here in the state and wish him well and his wife well in all the endeavors he does to enhance the human condition and 09800052.doc 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 advance… the advancement of mankind, but also to allow my colleagues to say a word or two about their experience with Max, if they have… are so inclined to do. I did ask quite a few of you to do letters for me and cards and I'll be presenting him with a plaque of this Resolution with your cards that you've given me. But if anybody'd like to say a couple words, I'd appreciate it because, you know, this young man has done so much for the State of Illinois and our children in everyone's district. I just adore him to death and there's going to be such a hole in the state when you leave with your wife and I know you'll be back and forth, but we will carry on with IMSA's mission. And thank God for Max McGee and all you've done. So, thank you."
"Representative Bellock, for what reason do you rise?"
"A point of personal privilege, Mr. Speaker."
"State your point."
"Thank you. I'd like the chamber to welcome, we have a school here, Emanuel Lutheran School from Elmhurst, Illinois. They've been down all day touring the different things in Springfield. So, I'd just like to ask everybody to welcome them. Thank you."
"Welcome to your Capitol. Enjoy the rest of your day. Representative Flowers, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I, too, would like to take the opportunity to thank Max McGee for all the hard work. I'm proud to say that I was one of the ones that put a vote on the school to create the Math and Science Academy. And I want to thanks 09800052.doc 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 Max McGee for showing the State of Illinois how a state-run school can really operate. And we should be very proud and all of our schools should try to emulate what the Math and Science Academy has done. So, once again, I'd just want to say thank you and they have fantastic teachers. He didn't do it by himself. Thank you."
"Representative Jakobsson, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to add to some of the comments that have been made about Max McGee. We've already said some wonderful things about him. I think that even though he is so committed to working with youngsters and with people throughout the State of Illinois, he's truly going to missed at IMSA and I can attest just having a personal… more personal close-up look at it. One of my granddaughters attended IMSA and the experience and the education she got there was just something that was very, very valued by her and anyone who has had the opportunity to know her and what she brought back from there. Thank you, Max."
"Representative Hatcher, for what reason do you rise?"
"Point of personal privilege."
"State your point."
"Again, I want to echo some of the things that people have said about Max McGee, but IMSA is an extraordinary place and it works that way because of the leadership that's there. The students that are at IMSA literally rule the economic and education world when they leave America 09800052.doc 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 and travel around the world and that's because Max encourages a level of thinking that you simply don't find any other place in the nation. There is no youngster that leaves IMSA that is not head and shoulders above anyone else when it comes to innovative thinking and the ability to look beyond the obvious to find what they're really supposed to do in life. It's entirely due to Max. He has as many friends in every profession as he does in education and he deserves this Resolution well. Thank you."
"Representative Soto, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you, Speaker. A point of personal privilege and I'll be really quick."
"Make your point."
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Max McGee. I really appreciate all you've done. I just wanted to let you know how much we're going to miss you and thank you for your good work. God bless you."
Speaker Riley: "Thank you for your years of service, Max. Representative Senger, for what reason do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm just going to reiterate what everybody… one else has said. Illinois's Math and Science Academy is an institution that should be modeled throughout the country because of what it does there. So, congratulations, Mr. McGee. We wish you the best."

"Senate Bill 1658, a Bill for an Act concerning insurance. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Williams."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill simply corrects and makes some changes to the prudent layperson standard for out of network providers. Currently, under the law, you have to be held harmless if you seek emergency services. This just clarifies that emergency services are defined by the prudent layperson standard, which is the standard that is commonly used. And I know of no opposition."

"Point of personal privilege."
"State your point."
"We're going to talk about this more, but I know that there's a lot of talk now about the April surprise with regards to additional revenues that are coming to the state. And I just want to compliment the Members of the House and Representative Harris, and in particular the Members of the Revenue & Finance Committee, the reason that we had good news in April is because of the fiscal restraints and responsibility that was instituted and begun by this chamber. And the Governor and others can run around and take credit for it, but it's the Members of the House of Representatives that made it possible for those old bills to be paid, as the result of the actions that started here, that took place here, and ended here. So, to all the 09800052.doc 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 Members of the House of Representatives, congratulations on getting a surprise and there's more hard work to come. Thank you."
"Representative David Harris, for what reason do you rise?" Harris, D.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Also on a point of personal privilege."
"State your point." Harris, D.: "Mr. Speaker, I'd like to… I'd like to echo the sentiments that the Gentleman before me just… just said and the Leadership of Speaker Madigan and Leader Cross when we passed House Resolution 706 and 707 which set our targets for FY13, lay the groundwork for us to take advantage of the significant spike in revenues that came in during April. However, I'd also like to add this. Anyone in this chamber who does not think that tax policy doesn't make a difference needs to look at the amount of money that came into the coffers in April because taxpayers in calendar year '12 were looking ahead to '13 and said, hey, the dividend tax may go up at the federal level, depreciation schedules may change. I'm going to pay my taxes in FY12 rather than FY13 resulting in a huge influx in revenue for the State of Illinois. So, taxes make the difference. In this case, it was to our benefit and a significant benefit that most of our Medicaid providers are now almost up to date in their bills because of all that money that has come in. Thank you."
"Members, thank you. Let's… let's get the volume down a little bit. We're going to continue on Bills on 09800052.doc 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 Third Reading.

"Senate Bill 1703, a Bill for an Act concerning education. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Kay."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a very simple Bill. It amends the School Code and adds October 7 as Iraq Afghanistan Veterans Remembrance Day. I'd ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Leader Osmond."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 1729 is an initiative of the Illinois Department of Insurance and it's just making some corrections and adding language that the RBC trend test applies to fraternal plans. I know of no opposition. And I'd be happy to answer any questions."

This Bill, having received the Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Senate Bill 1730, Representative Kay. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."
"Senate Bill 1730, a Bill for an Act concerning regulation. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Kay."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This Bill amends the Insurance Code and allows the Department of Insurance to issue a lien upon the real and personal property of the insurance company for failure to pay taxes, fees, charges, fines, penalties, interest and other charges or any portion, thereof, imposed or assessed pursuant to the Insurance Code. This is simply a way to collect taxes when there is a problem with an insurance company who refuses to do so. I ask for an 'aye' vote."
Speaker Riley: "The Chair recognizes Representative Jack Franks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates he will."
"Representative, I see it on the analysis here that the Bill provides that the Department of Insurance would get a lien that would be paid before any other judgment creditors, correct?"
"That's correct."
"Why would we do that?"
"That's a good question. I…" 09800052.doc 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013
"Because let's assume that this same company owed you money. Let's assume you lent them a bunch of money. Okay. Whatever it is and they didn't pay you. So, then you went to court and you got a judgment and you recorded a Memorandum of Judgment. And this happened, let's say, seven years ago, okay, and you've been trying to get your money for seven years and you're hoping that when they sell their business that you'll get paid. But what you've just done now is given the government a super priority over all over judgment creditors. Why would we put the government before anybody else? What public policy does that help?"
"Well, the simple answer to your question is we typically put government first, but to answer your question in particular here, I'm not sure this Bill puts a priority in order. It simply puts it in order of priority. And I'm not mixing words there, I'm just simply saying that now they have the ability to attach as opposed to the past. They are not number 1 on a list. They just become a priority on a list."
"But why should they be treated differently than any other creditor because any other creditor would be able to, if they're owed money, to actually have to go to court. Okay. But here those procedural safeguards are gone and they get to place a lien on property where other creditors can't. So, we are giving them a priority regardless if they're paid first and I… I am concerned that we give government these types of powers without procedural safeguards to the businesses." 09800052.doc 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013
"Well, again, let me just emphasize that there is no priority given to the department above and beyond any other creditor with respect to this lien, none whatsoever. And I think you would agree with me that if indeed a tax is due, a fee is due, a charge is due, it ought to be paid."
"Oh, I totally agree."
"Yeah."
"I don't think that they should be in a better position than anybody else. I think that they should get theirs like everybody does. And I… to the Bill. And I appreciate what the Gentleman's trying to do, but the fact is government is not something that should be above its citizens. Government should be at the same level of its citizens. So, if its citizens are owed money, they should be able to follow the laws and there's a… going on for hundreds of years of American jurisprudence going back to English case law that it's first in time, first in right. But that… and what you have to do is go through procedures. What this Bill would do would to change that and allow the government to bypass those procedures and potentially go in front of other creditors to be paid first. Government should be paid. They should be paid like everybody else. They should not be treated better because I think it's unfair that government gets an advantage over other creditors. I'd encourage you to vote 'no'. I understand what the Gentleman says, but the fact is the government, if they want to collect, has other avenues to do so and to jump in front and to have easier access than other judgment creditors is just not fair. I encourage a 'no' vote." 09800052.doc 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013
"The Chair recognizes Representative Sandack."
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. An inquiry of the Sponsor, please?"
"The Sponsor will yield?"
"Representative, I'm looking through this and I want to make sure I understand what…"
"Sure."
"…you're doing here. Is there another state agency that can get a lien before getting an order from a court or getting a judgment?"
"I don't know that."
"All right. Is there… is there any clause for this kind of jump 'cause typically any other creditor would have to go get a judgment before they could lien property, right?"
"That's correct."
"All right. What about this debt? Did you think it's good policy for the department not to get a judgment, yet get a lien?"
"I don't see a problem with it as far as with… as far as public policy, I don't see a problem with it. The truth of the matter is I think it saves the state from going to court and I think, in the long run, serves a better purpose. Is it good public policy? Probably as good as most that we've passed out of here."
"Okay. To the Bill, please. I think it's well intended, but I agree with the previous speaker. I'm worried about a precedent being set here where we allow State Government or departments to jump ahead of other 09800052.doc 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 creditors even before going through a collection process or going through a judgment. So, I respectfully ask people to think this through and I would urge a 'no' vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"There being no further debate, Representative Kay to close."
"I… I would just ask for an 'aye' vote. The debate has been good. There's an issue raised, but I think if you read the Bill carefully, there is no priority of order here. It simply provides a safeguard for the department and furthermore, allows the state to keep going back to court time and time again. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. And this Bill amends the Insurance Code and allows individuals to obtain just a limited lines producer license. This is in one area and one area only and that's the sale of credit accident life, like you buy at the bank. 09800052.doc 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 Illinois and New York are the only two states that do not provide credit insurance limited producer license, every other state does and we accept every other state's licenses here.

"Representative Jack Franks."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is an initiative of the Cook County State's Attorney and the Attorney General's Office. And this gives prosecutors an additional tool in securing conviction but does not increase sentencing. It's designed to protect our children because right now we'll be able to allow, if this passes, prosecutors can use a person's past attempt of child abduction as evidence during a trial which they've not been able to do so.

"Senate Bill 1846, a Bill for an Act concerning civil law. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Martwick."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 1846 amends the Code of Civil Procedure to allow for the creation of a court sponsored pro bono program. Throughout our state, throughout the country, pro bono legal services are offered by attorneys and firms to provide free legal services for people who are indigent. And typically in that instance, they must come in and they must petition the court for a waiver of fees. This just amends the Code of Civil Procedure to allow courts to enter into partnership agreements with pro bono legal services and create a court sponsored pro bono legal service whereby the fees would automatically be waived. I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 1871 grants authority to the Secretary of State to allow them to cancel the driver's license of a nonresident or former Illinois resident who has been released from showing proof of financial responsibility or SR22 insurance in Illinois. This addresses a problem where there is sort of a loophole in the law. It helps close the loophole. Currently, if… if an Illinois resident is required to show proof of financial 09800052.doc 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 98th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 52nd Legislative Day 5/9/2013 responsibility insurance because of a conviction for driving without insurance, if they move out of state they are released from this responsibility. And they're… but the Secretary of State can only cancel their driver's license when a new driver's license has been issued in another state. This now will allow the Secretary of State to cancel the driver's license 60 days after receiving an affidavit stating that they are no longer a resident of the State of Illinois.
