"Sure. I apologize, Leader. My computer hasn't come up."
"Mine was slow too."
"So, right now what we did, this was a while back that we produced this piece of legislation. What we did was we put packages together for cost-prohibited brown zones throughout the State of Illinois so developers could actually build on these sites, especially next to rivers. So Aurora and East St. Louis were the first ones that started, then Elgin, and Rockford jumped on. I think there's a couple more in the wings, but what it does is it takes a bunch of tax 09900139.docx 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 incentive and breaks we already have in this state and puts them into a basket so we can work with developers to go up and down the rivers and redevelop them."
"And I… and I think this is probably a really good idea. What… what… why does it need to be extended? Is it just hasn't gotten out of the gate very fast?"
"No, it's done very, very, well and that's the thing. It's done so well that other developers want to develop along these areas. And they want… so, they want to expand it. It's a… it’s a great revenue driver, especially if you've been to downtown Aurora. You know our River's Edge Program there now. We have a phenomenal band shell, brings in great, great venues. So, we're now starting to get the revenue, that we actually put into it, back in taxes now."

They are just horrible, ugly buildings, but we have had some excellent projects come from that. And businesses have started to want to relocate to downtown Rockford as a result of these credits.

"Representative Will Davis is recognized." Davis, W.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"He indicates that he will." Davis, W.: "Representative, the equipment that you're referring to, who does it belong to?"
"It belongs to the owner of a rental place. Let's assume it's a front end loader or something or a backhoe that someone comes to rent. So, it would be the company, the rental company." Davis, W.: "Okay. So, if it belongs to that company if they rent it to someone, there's a contract involved that speaks to the terms of that rental. So, if the terms of the contract are not met, meaning that someone keeps it longer than they should, I'm just trying to understand why can't they involve local PD."
"They can't, that's why… that’s why we have to change the law." Davis, W.: "I mean, help me to understand why?"
"Because it's not specific. Right now, the law as I'm reading it, it only applies to renting or leasing a motor vehicle or obtaining a motor vehicle through a drive away service mode of transportation, but it also has renting or leasing any other type of personal property exceeding $500 in value. This would make it specific so that way you could get law enforcement in to take it out of the conversion issue and make it a criminal issue. ‘Cause what they're finding in these rental companies is that sometimes people will use false IDs, false names, and false addresses. Now this would… They still have the ability of an affirmative defense if they made a 09900139.docx 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 mistake, put the wrong address on or something, but this is really become a huge problem for these companies and these are large dollar amounts that they’re talking about." Davis, W.: "Well, you just said, if someone uses false information. So, if they use false information then that company will file a report, but if the information that was provided is false then what happens? So…"
"Well, right now it's only… it's not a criminal act. And this would at least give the police the ability to act because right now they say it's a simple conversion or it's a bailment. So, it's a civil issue and… then they're never going to see this stuff again. So what they're trying to do is to require restitution and to put more teeth into the law, to make it the same as when they're doing it for other vehicles that are rented." Davis, W.: "Okay. So, does this Bill require that if someone signs an agreement will there be captions in the contract that will then say, you know, failure to comply with this contract could result in criminal prosecution? I mean, will it… will it offer something…"
"No, it'd be just like any other rental car agreement. Because let's assume you go and rent a car, okay? And you use a false address or a false name and don't bring it back, you know that's a theft. This is the same thing. It just hasn't been treated the same way. We're asking that it be treated the same way." Davis, W.: "So… so, the current statute specifically to rental cars says if you don't return it, it's considered theft?”
“Yes, Sir.” 09900139.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 Davis, W.: “And so this is to include…”
“Yes, Sir.” Davis, W.: “…other types of rental…”
“Yes.” Davis, W.: “…just equipment or anything that you can rent from one of these places?"
"It's rented or leased construction equipment." Davis, W.: "So, it's specific to construction equipment."
"Rented or leased construction equipment and as it reads… you want me to read it to you directly? I can read Section (b), if you'd like." Davis, W.: "I'm just trying to get some sense of it because I've been contacted by a company in my district that would like me to support it. And my first thought was, well, if somebody takes it and doesn't return it, why do we need to do something statutory?"
"That was my first question too because they looked at it as a civil issue instead of a criminal issue. So we need to have that protection by making it explicit in the law ‘cause it has not been explicit. So I said the same… I had the same questions you did, but that's why they told us it needs… it was necessary." Davis, W.: "Okay. Well, that's why I would… that’s why I would also…"
"It has to exceed $500 in value as well; it's not for little stuff. It has to exceed at least $500 in value." Davis, W.: "Exceed $500 in value but that’s… that… Therein goes my other question about will the contract. Because if that's 09900139.docx 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 what they want to encourage people to return the equipment or face criminal prosecution, will the contracts also…"
"I don't think they'll change the contract." Davis, W.: "…have a clause or provision in there, whether somebody reads it or not…"
"I have no idea." Davis, W.: "…but when they sign it, it makes them liable for that equipment for this purpose."
"I have no idea. I presume it's the same contract that they do for rental cars. If the rental cars have that, I'm sure they'll have something like this as well. I'm not prepared to answer that question. I've never thought of that." Davis, W.: "Okay. Just curious."
"Yeah." Davis, W.: "Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Representative Wheeler is recognized." Wheeler, B.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Bill. And thank you Representative Jack Franks for bringing this forward on behalf of all the Rental Association. As he mentioned, it is for equipment or anything rented over $500. But currently the law says that if there is victims… if they are victims of theft or theft of services, the only recourse is a civil action. Unfortunately, it’s… we're not talking about the person who accidentally forgets that he rented something and he's a few days late. We're talking about people who intend to steal from the rental properties. And unfortunately, it's been quite a ring of thieves that have come in and knowing 09900139.docx 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 that there is no criminal recourse. So, thank you for bringing this forward. And I ask for an 'aye' vote from all."
"Representative Bryant."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor will yield."
"Representative Franks, I want to thank you as well. I think you and I might be on a pretty much about as opposite ends of the state as we can be. And I also have a constituent that made me aware of some of the issues that he has. For instance, rented a trencher, rented a backhoe, went to pick up the trencher and could see it in the… in the yard of the individual. Called the police, called the state's attorney, could not get them to go pick it up. Couldn't go on to the property to get it because if he did, then he was going to be…”
"Trespassing."
"…arrested for trespassing. So, this isn't just one area of the state that this is a problem as a Representative previously said. There is actually rings of individuals who rent these for the purpose of being able to sell them. And… and they make a pretty good living at it. So, I applaud you for doing this. And to the Bill, Mr. Speaker. This is a great, great Bill. It is for property that exceeds $500. It is badly needed throughout the state. I don't believe that there's any intention here to create a new loss so that someone can be just be, you know, thrown in the pokey. This is so that we can make people accountable for contracts that they’ve have entered into. And so, that we can make small business owners, 09900139.docx 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 give them the ability to continue to stay in business. So, I urge an 'aye' vote."
"Representative Thapedi.”
"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor will yield."
"Jack, I have a couple questions about legislative intent. And this is a follow-up to Representative Davis's line of questioning. Is Senate Bill… Senate Amendment #3, has that been adopted? And the reason why I ask is ‘cause I'm looking at Senate Amendment #3, I'm looking on page 2…"
"It came over engrossed, so I don't know what Amendments were adopted."
"Okay, fair enough. So, and Senate Amendment #3 on page 2, lines 1 through 5, it seems to indicate that it's a lot more than just a rental vehicle. It appears that other items that are also triggering the statute would be linens, tableware, tents, tables, chairs, et cetera. Is that accurate?"
"Yes, Sir. Exceeding $500 in value. Including tools, construction or industry equipment and such items as linens, tableware, tents, tables, chairs and other equipment specially rented for a party or special event."
"Okay. So, it's not just the vehicle itself.”
“Right.”
“It's all of those things that are numerated as well, correct?"
"Exactly."
"Thank you." 09900139.docx 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016
"Representative Ammons."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"The Sponsor will yield."
"Just… just a clarifying question to the Sponsor of this legislation. I wanted to ask, it was mentioned civil versus criminal.”
“Yes.”
“I'm trying to understand why theft of $500 or more is not covered under the current law in burglary and theft. That's what I'm trying to understand."
"Because… That’s a great question because there is a real vagueness here. And as Representative Bryant was talking about the… the example in her district where someone had a piece of equipment and the police couldn't go on to the property to get it back… or the people couldn’t go back on the property and the police wouldn't get involved because they look at it as a civil matter. So, what it takes is someone who rented somebody this… this piece of equipment, then has to go to court, take months if not years to get back their property that they can't use. So, this just takes out the vagueness because some… some law enforcement has enforced it that way as a theft, others haven't. So, this is just taking away the vagueness that the law has and showing that if people intentionally do something like this, take it, that they… they will be held criminally liable."
"Doesn't it also though take away the responsibility of the business owner to take it to civil court."
"It does, yes, and that's the intent."
"Okay." 09900139.docx 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016
"Because if you take it to civil court you have someone sitting on a… could be $25 thousand piece of equipment that they’d not be able to use or rent for maybe two years. And then they go out of business.”
“Okay.”
“Now, why should they be penalized because somebody stole something from them."
"So, the… the threshold is the question that I'm having… in the $500 threshold. And the last thing I'll say is the… the precedence that this legislation actually sets. Because a rental place that rents dresses for weddings, tuxedos, suits, do we set precedence where they will come in and say, well, wait a minute they didn't return that $500 rental dress either. How… why wouldn't that fall under the same issue, in other areas of rentals?"
"What we're looking to is to create a presumption that an element in the offense is that the renter did not have a good cause for his or her failure to return the equipment and that would exist for instance when the renter signed the agreement with a name or an address other than his own. We're looking for someone who’s trying to commit fraud. We're not worried about the person who forgot to bring the dress back last week ‘cause they were on their honeymoon. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about someone who is intent to defraud, uses fraudulent information to get these goods. And then knowing they can game the system because it could take years for the rightful owner to be able to get their stuff back. And what you're doing is putting a company out of business because they've got nothing then to rent. And 09900139.docx 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 somebody else is using it for free and they're doing it intentionally."
"I heard a couple of Members say they had a couple of things happen in their districts like this. But is this something that you would consider to be widespread happening throughout the state and…"
"I didn't really know about it ‘til my constituent brought it to me, but I'm not in this industry. But apparently it's much more widespread than I was aware of."
"Thank you so much."
"Representative Zalewski."
"So, Jack, I wasn't in the committee when this got out. So, I have some questions that hopefully you can answer based on the… based on what we talked about in committee when you were… when we were unable to connect. Have you talked to their state's attorney about why they are not prosecuting these offenses?"
"What I'm told is that this is… that there's a vagary in the law that we're trying to clear up. So, that's why… I could give you the specific language. And right now, for instance, theft occurs for renting or leasing a motor vehicle…”
“Right.”
“…or obtaining a motor vehicle through a drive away service made of transportation. These are the same types, and these are… some of these are big ticket items. But these… this was not included specifically in the legislation, the underlying Bill. So, we have renting or leasing any other type of personal property exceeding $500 in value, but what we've found is that law enforcement thought this more of a 09900139.docx 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 bailment or a conversion issue and looked at it as a civil issue. So, we want to make sure that they… that there's the ability to go forward on a criminal matter if necessary ‘cause right now we want to take away that entire vagueness."
"So, what your witness and the gentleman who did a very nice job, and I sympathize with his plight, what he said was that the scenario here is I run a rental business and the person rents the material and then they go, they take it to the off-site place where they're doing the work. And then I call them and I say I want it back and they say no. To me, in (a) of this Section, that's prima facie theft. You don't have consent to have it, you've been noticed-up that you don't have consent, and you continue to deprive the person of wanting… of having the material that they said they were going to bring back… back. I don't… and I don’t… I guess…"
"Mike, there's one difference on that.”
“Yeah.”
“I agree with what you're saying. The difference is, we're talking about folks here who are giving a false address or a false name."
"Well, also, both are… both crimes."
"Right. They are… they could be, but unfortunately our law enforcement is not enforcing it that way. So this is going to help law enforcement to be able to enforce it because I think they don't understand the law, because they are not enforcing it this way."
"Jack, do… so one last question. We talked about this in committee… the gentleman said, and again, I'm not trying to pick on him, he's got a business to run. He said, I'm doing 09900139.docx 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 this as a deterrent so that nobody does it anymore. And… and what we've all said consistently as we've talked about these issues is we don't want criminal… we don’t want criminal justice to be about deterrents. So, for your record, is this about deterrents?"
"No."
"It's not."
"It's about fixing a vagary in the law."
"Okay."
"To make sure that they… it's understood correctly and it's applied correctly for people who are intentionally using wrong addresses, or wrong information, or wrong names in order to commit a theft of vehicles or equipment over $500."

"Representative Burke." Burke, K.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Floor Amendment 3 to Senate Bill 2156 makes some changes to the underlying Bill. It gives the SURS Board of Trustees authority to establish rules that clearly define who and what the definition of an employee is for purposes of being an annuitant. It provides some requirements for universities to cooperate with SURS and when someone has indicated that they are retiring and provide information on a timely basis and inserts a penalty if that… if the information is not provided on a timely basis. And it also provides… codifies the SURS current practice of providing a default investment plan for SURS self-managed plan members who fail to select an investment plan. And finally, it provides that universities who have asked their employees to take furloughs as we've seen recently to be exempt from the 6 percent liability charge normally applied to universities who dispense salary increases above the threshold. And allows those employees who have service credit loss due to furlough to purchase their service credit at their own cost. I ask for its adoption."
"Representative Willis is recognized. The Lady moves for the adoption of Floor Amendment #3 to Senate Bill 2156. All in favor say 'aye'; all opposed say 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair, the 'ayes' have it. And the Amendment is adopted. Mr. Clerk."
"No further Amendments. No Motions are filed." 09900139.docx 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016
"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk, please read Senate Bill 2156."
"Senate Bill 2156, a Bill for an Act concerning public employee benefits. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Burke." Burke, K.: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Bill does what I just described on the Motion for adoption of the Amendment. And I ask for an 'aye' vote."
"Representative Sandack is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates that she will."
"Real quick, Kelly. This is an initiative of whom? Who sponsored this Bill?" Burke, K.: "So, there's a couple parts to it. The original Bill was something that Senator Cunningham had worked on in response to some pension abuses that were out there where there were employees… where there were folks who were allowed to enroll in the… in the State Universities Retirement System who were not technically… who were not working for the universities. And this was different groups that we've kind of seen in the news."
"And so that was the definitional changes that you reflected in your opening comments on Second, right?" Burke, K.: "Exactly. So, that was the original Bill and then SURS ask that we put in some other changes when it got over here and those are the two administrative parts. Oh and let me back up a minute. One of the original parts of the Bill was having the universities provide information to SURS so they can make determinations on whether an employee is an employee 09900139.docx 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 and also their service credit and et cetera. That was part of the original Bill. The add-ons are the parts about the codifying the opt the… codifying the practice of SURS where they provide a default investment plan for folks who enroll in the SURS self-managed plan when they fail to make their own investment. And then the issue came up regarding the employees who have been asked to take furlough and that was an initiative of the universities who asked us to help make that change."
"So, all the changes, whether they came from SURS, the university system, or from Senator Cunningham through his investigation, these are intended to tighten up the systems and save the systems money, essentially, isn't that right? And make sure only benefits are going to people that should be in the system?" Burke, K.: "Yes, that's the intent."
"Thank you. There's no opposition, right?" Burke, K.: "There is no opposition."
"Thank you."
"Representative Burke to close." Burke, K.: "I ask for an 'aye' vote."

"Senate Bill 2787, a Bill for an Act concerning regulation. Third Reading of this Senate Bill."
"Representative Davidsmeyer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 2787 basically is a… an efficiency Bill. Currently, the Department of Insurance is required to come up with a report by March 1 on all… all of these different health care insurance… anybody 09900139.docx 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 who provides health care insurance. Right now, what they're doing is they're going after the 1300 companies who could possibly provide this, where there are only about 400 that are currently providing it. So, what they're asking is, the National Association of Insurance Companies gets all of this information from all of the insurance companies. And they put out their report on March 1. So, they're asking can we wait until June 1 to put this out so we're not going after the… the extras. We're just going after the 400 that actually provide this, 400 or so. They'll be able to get that directly from the National Association of Insurance Company report. And instead of trying to track down the other people who aren't providing it. So, it's just an efficiency. I'll take any questions."
"Representative Franks is recognized."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Sponsor indicates that he will yield."
"I see Mr. Mapes very happy for these questions today. Could you tell us what information we're… we’re gleaning these reports?"
"You know what, I… I actually asked the department what the report is used for and they said nothing."
"Exactly."
"So, nobody’s ever gone after it. So, you know, we could probably eliminate it, but it's… it’s easier just to go back to the efficiency side and try to eliminate the extra duplicative work."
"That's what I was thinking. Why don't we just eliminate it because I think it's highly ironic that the State of 09900139.docx 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 Illinois Department of Insurance is asking for information when our medical providers for the insurance that state employees pay, they pay their premiums every paycheck and their doctors, it's taking fourteen months for doctors to get paid, correct?"
"Yeah, no I agree with you. I agree with you. It's ridiculous."
"I've got a prepay, my constituents have to prepay before they go see their doctors because our insurance that all state employees pay for is essentially worthless."
"Yeah. And this would do nothing to affect that unfortunately. I wish we could…"
"I… I agree."
"…come up with a Bill together that would."
"So, perhaps, instead of exalting form over substance on this, we should just not do this because it's stupid. It doesn't do a thing, it's just… it's department of redundancy, department nonsense. Where we get information that we don't use and we're wasting taxpayer dollars and we're debating ridiculous things that aren't ever going to be used while we're not paying our bills and we're hurting our doctors and our nurses and our employees. And it's not your fault."
"Yeah. And this is something that will… will actually get rid of the duplicative services. So, it is making us more efficient. I understand exactly what we're saying, and what you're saying. I agree with you and hopefully we can come back and do another Bill to eliminate it." 09900139.docx 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016
"So, we'll spend more paper and more time. I hear you. And I'm not taking it out on you. I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of how our state has spiraled into the abyss."
"Yeah."
"Where real people are getting crushed and they’re hurt and they can't get services they paid for. And people are getting ripped off every day and we're debating Bills like this. And I understand it's not you, I understand you're just carrying the water here for this group. But it is insulting, it is 100 percent insulting, and here we are on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, you know, and Friday we spent more time debating, we spent two hours debating why we weren’t here on Saturday. We spent more time debating that than we actually debated the budget. And now we're debating a Bill that we know that the information that we're trying to seek to collect is not even going to be used. And you wonder why people hate politicians. I'm going to vote ‘no’ just out of protest but I appreciate your efforts."
"Representative Davidsmeyer to close."
"So, I will say, if you want to create an opportunity to make government more efficient, eliminating the duplicative work that the National Association of Insurance is currently providing, I would say vote for this. If you don't want to make it more efficient, you can vote against it. I think most of us understand that some of these reports are not used for anything. And I would… I’d be willing to work on an overall Bill to look at all these different reports to get rid of in the future. But this Bill allows them to 09900139.docx 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 focus their efforts on things that are more important.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Senate Bill 2920 amends the Environmental Justice Act by increasing the voting members from 20 to 24 and make some composition changes to the Commission on Environmental Justice. This is an agreed Bill with no opposition. This is a compromise between the Illinois Environmental Council, the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization, the Illinois Manufacturer's Association, the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, Dynegy, and AFL-CIO. Just a little background, in 2011 the Environmental Justice Act was created. And one of the things that they've done was they created the Brownfield's redevelopment subcommittee which was created to address concerns related to Brownfield's remediation in Illinois Environmental Justice Commission. Currently, there are 20 members in the Environmental Justice Commission and what this Bill will do is that it will increase it to 24, from 20 members to 24 and those four members are appointed by the Governor. And those four members include two members from the business organization sector, which is one member representing manufacture’s and the other member representing 09900139.docx 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 the energy field. And two other members from the labor organization, which is one member from a statewide labor federation, representing more than one international union, and one member from a group representing workers in the energy field. Again, I ask for… I'm open to questions. And I ask for a favorable Roll Call."

"Yes, that's correct. Those two members need to be from a labor organization and the Governor appoints those two labor members."
"Does it also require two minority group representations on that commission?"
"The Bill does not specify that."
"Okay. It just seems to me that it's a little bit inconsistent with other legislation that's recently passed about the composition of commissions."

There's a 600 hour standard or a thousand hour standard. There are 72 counties with a thousand hour standard. And out of those 72 counties, 47 have no one 09900139.docx 39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 139th Legislative Day 5/29/2016 participating. There's only 5 counties that have more than 20 people participating and they're… what we've found is, in my county for instance, is it's a real outlier. And with the thousand hour standard that we did an analysis on how much time the folks spent in meetings and committees. And in some instances, it was less than 90 hours and nobody had actually even had 200 hours. Yet everyone had said that they would be eligible for a full-time pension for this very part-time work. So for those that wish to stay in the system, we are now going to require that they actually keep timesheets to show the hours spent to determine whether they've actually done the 1000 hours. And for those going forward, they will not be eligible for new county board members… oh, for county board members only to be eligible for a pension benefit. I'd ask for an 'aye' vote."
