Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Joint Resolution 1 designates the U.S. 20 bridge over Illinois Route 31 as the "Sergeant Marcos Leonardo Gudino Memorial Bridge". The Gudino family has been a staple in the Elgin area for -- for as long as I can remember as -- since as a child and they lost one of their own in a tragic accident. Sergeant Gudino was born in Elgin to Frank and Minerva Gudino and he passed away on March 25th in a -- in a -- in an accident on I-90 as he was heading home from training. He was the -- he was in -- he was on the passenger side and passed away. And in honor of him, we are naming this bridge. And I would like to read the resolution. "WHEREAS, It is highly fitting that the Illinois General Assembly pays honor and respect to individuals who have given their lives in service to their communities; and WHEREAS, Sergeant Marcos Leonardo Gudino was born in Elgin to Frank and Minerva Gudino on January 26, 1988; and WHEREAS, Sergeant Gudino graduated from St. Edward High School in 2006 and then attended Elgin Community College; and WHEREAS, Sergeant Gudino enlisted in August 2010 and served in the Illinois Army National Guard as a medic; and WHEREAS, Sergeant Gudino was assigned to the Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 178th Infantry Regiment based at General Richard L.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Koehler.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. We passed this bill last year. It was at the end of Session. It did not make it out of the House. But we need to do it again; it's kind of a cleanup bill. It allows that all capital appropriations 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 authorized in the FY'19 budget be used for prior year costs. As I say, this is a -- a cleanup bill and it's important for some of the projects that need to go on. Be happy to answer any questions. Ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall Senate Bill 1814 pass. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay.

Senate Bill 1857. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Koehler.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This is a -- a fun piece of legislation, but it's also a very important one. This declares that Penicillium chrysogenum NRRL 1951 as the official State microbe. And you might ask, why is Illinois wanting to do an official State microbe? Well, penicillin, as we know, was -- and I -- and I teased you with this when we were going to committee -- this is pretty important, folks, really. When we 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 were going to committee, I held up a petri dish that had the original fungus that was discovered by Alexander Fleming in England. And I hope that I get the petri dish out here that has the original cantaloupe fungus that penicillin was actually produced by; it was produced in Peoria, Illinois. And the difference that it made is that -- the statistic is that in World War I, eighteen percent of the casualties in World War I were because of gangrene. By World War II, that statistic was that less than one percent of the casualties were from gangrene and it was due to this penicillin. This -- this is the actual petri dish of the original cantaloupe fungus that was -- that was able to produce mass quantities, commercial quantities of penicillin. And I think most people in Peoria understand this, but I don't think most people in Illinois understand that Peoria was the place that it was discovered. And so it's very important that we recognize this as a -- an important historical fact in part of our history in Illinois here. So I would ask for support that we declare Penicillium as the official State microbe and the only place that that can be done is Illinois and it's because of Peoria. So I'm happy to answer any questions. This is probably more than you want…(microphone cutoff)…

Senate Bill 1881. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Bennett.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 1881 attempts to allow the North Shore Water Reclamation District and other sanitary districts to lease property that's not required for district use to others for a period not exceeding fifty years. I'll be glad to answer questions, but the basic gist is this: Many districts, including the Champaign-Urbana Sanitary District, has property 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 they don't use for sanitary needs. They lease that land out to parks and other things. They'd like to use it for renewable energy, including solar projects, which require a longer lease than they're currently allowed by law. I know of no opposition.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Senator Rose, for what purpose do you rise?
Thank you. For my bill sponsor mate. May I continue? Question…
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Could you… A question for the sponsor?
Yes. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) The sponsor indicates that he'll yield. Senator Rose.
Man, this is a tough crowd today. Senator Bennett, this is an outstanding bill. What does it do for our area?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Rose -- Senator Bennett.
Thank you. Thank you, Senator Rose. Essentially, what it would do -- I know in our -- in our instance, there is a large parcel of land that's owned by the sanitary district. They would like to allow that use for a solar project, for some solar energy, renewable energy, but frankly the energy companies do not want to put that kind of commitment on under the -- under a short-term lease, which is currently all that's allowed by law. This would 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 allow a longer term lease so that our local sanitary districts can, frankly, make some money on leases, which hopefully will get turned over to ratepayers.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Rose.
To the -- to the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) To the bill, Senator.
So this bill's extremely important and, frankly, it's something we need to do more of in this State. It allows us to extend the length of time that you can utilize a property beyond the existing time period for solar and other renewable sources. This is something that as we approach a capital bill discussion that honestly we should be looking more at in terms of energy- savings conservation measures, because ultimately it saves the taxpayers money. This is a win-win for everybody. I salute Senator Bennett for bringing it forward and I'm glad that he won the literal coin toss in my office for which one of us was going to do it. But he's doing much better than I would have, so I hope everyone will vote for it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you, Senator. Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, Senator Bennett, to close.
Despite Senator Rose's words of praise, I hope everyone still votes Yes on the bill. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 The question is, shall Senate Bill 1881 pass.

Senate Bill 1888. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Gillespie.
Thank you, Mr. President. What this bill does is authorize social workers sitting for a master's degree to take their licensure exam in their final semester as an attempt to help streamline the licensure process. We are facing a shortage of social workers in this State and this would help get them out faster, licensed, and into jobs in Corrections and in schools. So I urge your Yes vote.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 1980 is an initiative of the Illinois Environmental Council. As those in agricultural areas may know, drought and excessive rainfall and the inconsistency of each have had severe consequences in Illinois agriculture over recent years. What this bill would do is help provide best management practices regarding soil health and soil health improvement. And the hope is that farmers in Illinois can become more resilient to these growing climate risks by turning to better practices to build soil health. I know of no opposition and would ask for an Aye vote.

…Mr. President. This bill was brought to me by a mom in my district. She talked about the high cost of EpiPens and the burden that its cost -- that the high cost was to her family.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 2140 repeals the Kyoto Protocol Act of 1998. The Act was intended to prevent the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Pollution Control Board from proposing or adopting rules to reduce greenhouse gases to address climate change, similar in nature to the international Kyoto Protocol.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Senator Plummer, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
To the sponsor, please.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator, are you seeking this -- are you asking questions of the sponsor?
Yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Sponsor indicates that she will -- she will grant that. Senator Plummer.
Thank you. Could we talk a little bit more about -- I've 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 heard a lot of feedback about -- concerns this could have eventually on our energy future in the State of Illinois. If individual states can start -- obviously this takes away -- this gives states the right to start regulating certain IE -- the IEPA can regulate certain rules that will have an impact on our power plants, on our energy generation. Is this really a thoughtful way to do it, state by state by state, or is this something we should leave at the federal level?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
This -- thank you. Thank you, Senator Plummer. I can't speak for the -- the national, but this bill is basically -- you can consider it a gag rule for Illinois. This prevents us as a State from -- proposing or doing anything as far as greenhouse gases. It doesn't have -- it doesn't change the way that we have to comply with federal law at all.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer.
Right, but what -- what it would do is it would allow us to set new standards that could potentially be unattainable by industry. Correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
Now, that's a great question. Thank you. That would be something that we could argue as a Body, but with the Kyoto Protocol Act as enacted, we can't even have that discussion. 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer.
Well, I think there's some very good reasoning behind the fact that they don't want states going state by state by state to create this. I mean, right now, in the State of Illinois, approximately forty percent of our energy is produced by fossil fuel sources that are very plentiful in the State of Illinois. And those fossil fuel -- we -- we need baseload energy in the State of Illinois. I'm -- I'm all for the renewables; I think we need to explore everything we can. My concern, though, is, is the IEPA comes in and we set standards that are not obtainable by industry, that are financially burdensome on the people of Illinois, and we have to have baseload power and this takes away -- this creates the right -- it takes away the power from the federal government and it gives power to State government to start setting thresholds that are not obtainable. And I have serious concerns about unelected bureaucrats in the State of Illinois implementing rules that are going to impact something as important as our power supply.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
Thank you very much. This -- this is a -- a State bill that -- a State Act that prevents us from even having that conversation. So we've -- this is a bill that waits for the U.S. Congress to enact the Kyoto Protocol Act, which was from 1997. It was for the period of 2008 to 2012. All this says is that we can stop waiting for the U.S. Congress to enact Kyoto Protocol. 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer, do you have another question for the sponsor?
Yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer.
I -- I -- I -- could you repeat that again? Because I don't think that's exactly what it does. It doesn't -- it -- it prohibits the federal government from doing that. It doesn't…
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
Thank you, Senator. The -- we don't prohibit the federal government from -- from doing anything.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer.
Right now, we cannot set our own rules when it comes to IEPA rules on -- on -- on everything that the Kyoto Protocol does. What this does is this removes those rules and it takes the power away from -- it takes the -- the brick off of our heads essentially and it allows the IEPA to set new standards, to set new rules, on local power generation. And -- and I don't think that's something we want an unelected State agency to do here in Illinois. What if every state in the country did that?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Ellman.
34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 Thank you, Senator Plummer. I think that is a -- you know, if that is something that we want to debate, I think the Kyoto Protocol -- repealing the Kyoto Protocol would allow us to have that debate. Right now, this just prevents us from talking about it at all.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Plummer.
To the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) …bill, Senator.
I -- I encourage a No vote on this. Essentially what this allows the State to do is the State can eventually enact new regulations on our power industry, on -- which, right now, is forty percent fossil fuel-based. And we have serious concerns about the direction that could take for our consumers. And at the end of the day, right now, the State of Illinois needs to explore every -- every source it can. But by allowing the IEPA to come in and set new standards, it's going to have a significant impact on our power supply for communities, especially in downstate Illinois. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you. Senator Ellman, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you, Senator Plummer. I urge a -- a Yes vote on this. This is a bill -- the Kyoto Protocol Act was enacted in 1997. It was never enacted by U.S. Congress and, frankly, I think we can stop waiting for that to happen. This 35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 will just accept reality as it is, that Kyoto Protocol is -- is done. It was only valid through 2012 anyway and I think we can stop waiting. And I urge your support. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Stadelman, on your bill.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 87 prohibits a smoked or tinted lens from being installed on a motor vehicle's headlights or taillights. The Illinois State Police believe this is a public safety issue. Right now, under current State law, headlights have to be seen at a distance of one thousand feet; taillights have to be seen at five hundred feet. And State Police believe these tinted covers reduce that light and therefore should -- would -- could violate State law. So what this legislation does, it prohibits tinted lights, allowing law enforcement officers to avoid the possibility of trying to figure out what's legal and what's not. I know of no opposition and I encourage an Aye vote.

Senate Bill 1379. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Hutchinson, to explain your bill.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 deletes all and becomes the bill. It reinserts provisions of the bill as amended by Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 with the following changes. Am I reading the right thing? Yes, I am. Okay. Thank you. As amended, requires taxpayers of income-producing property to submit income and expense data annually to the chief county assessment officer. Though this 56 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 requirement applies only to Cook County, other counties, by resolution, may require the same filings. Under Senate Bill 1379, the assessment officer may consider this data to determine the value of these properties. If a taxpayer fails to provide this data, they can incur a penalty. Additionally, the chief county assessment officer may disclose this data, but only in a compiled and anonymized format, providing it does not disclose individual property characteristics. Any person that reveals any information received by the chief county assessment officer in any other form not authorized by law shall be deemed guilty of a Class B misdemeanor and subject to a fine not to exceed seventy-five hundred dollars. This was done specifically to make sure that the data that is collected is actually as anonymous as possible so that we can protect confidential data and get more accurate and transparent assessments at the county level. Happy to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Rezin, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
Thank you, Mr. President. To the bill, please.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the bill.
While I do commend my colleague and the sponsor of the bill, there's still many unanswered questions in this bill, so I ask my colleagues to look at the opponents that are lined up for this bill. No other state makes handing over expense data mandatory. I know that -- that the Senator had asked for a negotiation to 57 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 happen and I respect that they spent many hours trying to come to an agreement; however, we are not there yet. And I just, again, ask all of my colleagues to make sure that they realize that there are many people lined up in opposition to this bill. And I ask for a No vote. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Any further discussion? Any further discussion? The question is, shall Senate -- I'm sorry. Senator Castro, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Sponsor indicates she'll yield. Senator Castro.
Thank you, Mr. President. Some -- Senator Hutchinson, some say that this bill will give competitive businesses access to each other's most sensitive data. Is that the case?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Hutchinson.
It doesn't do that. In fact, it specifically exempts FOIA from the data that'll be collected. Any data the office releases will be summarized and anonymized and not shown at a property level. Further, none of this data will be used to conduct property-specific assessments. It'll be used to develop true market rates by property class and geography. Finally, the assessor's office employees under this statute are held responsible for proper handling of this data, similar to the Illinois Department of Revenue's provisions for its employees' 58 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 handling of sensitive information. An employee can actually face a Class B misdemeanor and a fine of up to seventy-five hundred dollars for mishandling this data.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Castro.
Thank you, Senator. That kind of addresses the previous person's concerns. I ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Further discussion? Senator Peters, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
…the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Sponsor indicates she'll yield.
I understand that the Civic Federation put out a letter that made some errors in their analysis. Is that right?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Hutchinson.
It's fair to say I didn't agree with some of the analysis in the Civic Federation's letter, absolutely. The assessor's required to compile and anonymize data before disclosure and the bill has strong confidentiality provisions, including making it a criminal misdemeanor. The Civic Federation's letter also stated that making this voluntary is a viable alternative, but that isn't the case either. Show -- studies show that actually ten to twenty percent will comply, which is not enough to make use of the data. 59 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 The -- the bill is actually supported by Brookfield Properties Retail Group, which owns Water Tower Place and nearly millions of square feet of retail space across the country. They testified in support of this in the Revenue Committee and they operate properties all across the country. We're, in essence, asking for the same information that most people would be giving when they go to appeal anyway. This is to make sure that the -- the information we have at the front end is as -- is as accurate and as reflective of the market as we can possibly get to add transparency and efficiency into our assessment process, which we know has been sorely lacking for decades. So with -- I would -- I would ask for everyone's support. Thank you for that.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Peters.
Thank you. I urge a Yes vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Hutchinson, to close.
There has been conversation about how we need to -- one, people always talk about how efficiency and accuracy and transparency in government is a good thing. This is exactly one of those bills. It's about accuracy and transparency and efficiency in government, especially in an arena for which it's been -- we haven't had for a while. So we know that this is not only happening in Illinois, it happens in multiple states across the country, and we also know that in -- even in those states, like, take New York, which does assessments on every single property, every single year, as opposed to three-year turn- 60 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 arounds, which is what we do here, which means people who live in my neck of the woods who have had poorly assessed and underassessed and in some places drastically overassessed commercial property won't have another chance to try to fix the anomalies in the system for another three years, till 2023. We need to do this now, because the first step in getting to accuracy and transparency is to make these moves now. I recognize that there were some opponents that had some issues and wanted further clarification, and that's exactly why, due to the timing on the Calendar, we need to get this to the House, so that we can continue working on this. This is one of those moments where we have a bill that requires work, where people have put in hours and hours of work to do it. We have to get it through two Chambers and we're committed to making sure that whatever it is that they come up with in terms of further clarification in the House, I will -- more than happy comply with once it comes back here to the Senate. So I ask for your favorable support, for not only my district, but for communities all across the State who will now have an option to opt in to a program for more accuracy in the one thing that drives every single one of us nuts - property taxes. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Please state your point.
Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to read a statement regarding a special day today, and that is, fifty-one years ago, a freedom fighter and equalizer was fatally gunned down in Memphis, Tennessee. That day, our country lost a guiding light and a warrior for justice. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a singular man, an exemplary and -- exceptional faith and vision, whose voice was a clarion call for moral righteousness. He preached the truth of equality and opportunities regardless of race, gender, or creed. He dreamed of economic justice and a right to health care for all. We still have much to learn from that truth and that dream. His legacy lives on every day here in Illinois and across the world. We will and we must continue the work -- continue the work of Dr. King and never waver in our commitment to justice and equality for all. Today and every day, we must continue to work and recommit our -- our -- recommit to building -- building his dreams. Thank you very much for this opportunity, Mr. President.

Senate Bill 1515. (Secretary reads title of bill) 64 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 30th Legislative Day 4/4/2019 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) …Hutchinson, to explain your bill.
Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you for your indulgence, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1515 is an initiative of Forefront Illinois. The federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposed a new tax on non-profits that provide transportation and parking benefits to their employees. Non- profits that provide these benefits are now required to pay unrelated business income taxes on these expenses. According to Forefront, this could be avoided if we chose to decouple from this provision. So this is to help our non-profits still give the benefits they have to folks who are making a little bit less in that sector than other sectors. The Department of Revenue had some cleanup things, which we did and took care of. Know of no opposition. Would appreciate your support.
