So today is the last day that we will have the opportunity to work with one of our very best and brightest, Carrie Ramsden. When I came to the Senate six years and a few months ago, she was one of the very first people that I had the opportunity to work with. I want you to know that she is the consummate professional, always prepared, always available, knows the material better than anybody else in the Capitol and, as -- as I've served as Human Services Chair, has been the person to prompt me, to push me, to jump in front of moving traffic so that I don't get run over on various things. I am very sorry to lose my colleague in developing important policy, Carrie, but Carrie is - true to her commitment to children and families - is going to be leaving our Senate offices and going to work for the Inspector General's Office for DCFS. So she's going to put all of that commitment and that knowledge to work to really continue to help our kids. But please help me in wishing her the absolute best and all the success in the world that she deserves.

Kimberly A. Lightford (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Rose.

Chapin Rose (R)

Thank you, Madam President. Senate Bill 947 requires the Secretary of State to include, in its annual registration -- or, excuse me, in its registration renewal notice, a reminder of Scott's Law, which, of course, is to move over and slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle. It'd also require the Secretary to include Scott's Law as a test question in the licensing testing that you have to take before you can become licensed or renew your license. We all know that there have been far too many fatalities of our law enforcement personnel, our firefighters, our EMTs. Just this year so far, there have been three Illinois State Police troopers killed out of sixteen accidents and that's just too many. We had -- we had one a month for the first three months of this year. I had a friend of mine from high school that was killed as a volunteer fireman a few years ago on I-74, responding to an emergency. Accidents are accidents, we all know that, but we need top-of-mind awareness in drivers. If you see an emergency vehicle, if you see a police car, just slow down and pull over. That's all we're asking - slow down and pull over. Three fatalities in three months, you can't even say it's too much - one fatality is too much. People just need to slow down and pull over. And we're just asking that the Secretary of State include this reasonable information as a test question so that Illinois motorists -- so that Illinois motorists have top-of-mind awareness when they're approaching an emergency scene. That's it. I'd be happy to answer 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day 4/12/2019 any questions. Thank you, Madam President.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator McConchie. SENATOR McCONCHIE: Thank you, Madam President. For a number of years now, Chicago has had a website where people could report potholes that were going on –- that they had -- had discovered, and this has worked very well for the City of Chicago to be able to identify where problems are in the streets. I think that we need to take this Chicago program and expand it statewide. So this would create a statewide pothole reporting website.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Lightford, on your resolution.

Kimberly A. Lightford (D)

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. 71 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day 4/12/2019 Senate Resolution 85 addresses the construction, renovation, and repairs needed of early childhood programs throughout Illinois. Physical infrastructure challenges are some of the greatest barriers facing preschool childcare centers and birth-to-three providers, who struggle to adequately respond to the early learning needs of young children and their families. With that in mind, this bipartisan resolution calls for the State to retain and build on an important precedent that was set in Illinois last capital plan, ten years ago, which established the Early Childhood Construction Grant Program. The program was overseen by the Capital Development Board and dedicated forty-five million dollars to brick-and-mortar early learning projects in communities with the most underserved populations of children under the age of five. Qualified applicants included both school-based and not-for-profit community-based service providers. Not surprisingly, the program was overwhelmingly overwhelmed with requests for help, totaling more than a dozen times the amount of funding available. So the resources disappeared quickly. However, the initiative did allow a lot of good work to be done, building new classrooms, renovating old ones, and providing more young children with a better start in learning in life. Early childhood needs have not diminished in Illinois, neither should our resolve to help meet them. Let's ensure we reflect these important educational needs in our next Illinois capital plan and aim to do more, preferably at a level of at least two hundred and fifty million dollars. I'd be happy to answer questions.

Don Harmon (D)

Don Harmon (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Senator Crowe, on your resolution.

Rachelle Crowe (D)

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Resolution 88 urges the Department of Public Health to adopt new guidelines for the prescription of opioid drugs. Patients are not always advised of the addictive nature of opioids and these guidelines would emphasize that clinicians should first prescribe non-opioid medication for acute pain and then, if needed, prescribe opioids in small quantities. Requiring medical providers to inform patients of the risk associated with opioid drugs could help reduce prescription drug addiction in our State. Thank you.

Thomas Cullerton (D)

78 STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day 4/12/2019 Yes, thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Last year, the presidents of the student bar associations at every law school in Illinois came together to sign a pledge to work to improve how mental health and substance abuse issues are handled at their law schools. I had the honor of speaking at the Illinois Lawyers' Assistance Program, which is a great organization. They had an annual reception late last year and I promised to support the effort with a resolution in this General Assembly, and that's what this does. For those of you who've been to law school or sat for the bar exam or worked as an attorney, should know all too well the pressures and the stresses that happen in law school. This can be a profession without mercy, where only the strong survive and anyone with a problem is considered weak and a liability, and that -- that's the kind of thinking that has cost people their careers and their lives. It's really a stigma that needs to change and I'd like the Illinois Senate to be part of it and that -- this resolution is a beginning, so I'd ask for an Aye vote.

Don Harmon (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HARMON) Thank you, Mr. President. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall Senate Resolution 298 pass. All those in favor will say Aye. Opposed, Nay.
