PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Bush.

Thank you, Madam President. You may remember, maybe about two weeks ago, Stacy was here and we had a moment of silence for her husband who died in -- in the line of duty, certainly, as a - - as a trooper. So this resolution designates the section of road on Interstate 94 from mile marker 16.5 to mile marker 17 as the "Trooper Gerald W. Ellis Memorial Highway". It's highly fitting that the Illinois General Assembly pay and honors respect to those individuals who have given their lives to the service of their communities. On March 30th, 2019, Illinois State Trooper Gerald "Jerry" Wayne Ellis was on duty in his squad care -- car, excuse me, traveling home on Interstate 94 westbound near milepost 16.75 in Green Oaks when a wrong-way driver, who was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes, struck him head on. Trooper Ellis was an eleven-year veteran of the Illinois State Police District 15 in Downers Grove. He was born in Macomb on January 10th, 1983. He served in the U.S. Army and lived in Antioch with his family. I 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 would ask for your support. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. As this -- as this expenditure -- this resolution requires the expenditures of State funds, a roll call vote will be required.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Bush.

Thank you again, Madam President. This is an initiative of the Illinois Manufactured Housing Association and the Department of Public Health. So basically what this does is the Department would like to increase various motor home park fees since the fees have not been increased since 1984. The Department chose to increase each fee to the amounts that are included. I know of no opposition. These are for new mobile parks, if they are built. And I would ask for an Aye vote. Happy to answer any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you. Is there any discussion? Senator McGuire, for what purpose to do you rise? SENATOR McGUIRE: Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I move to waive all notice and posting requirements -- oh, I'm sorry.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Steans, for what purpose do you rise?

For purpose of an introduction. 17  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Please state your introduction, Senator.

So we all remember former Representative Harry Osterman, now one of my aldermen. His son, Harry Osterman, is here with Hawthorne School, back over there in the gallery. Welcome, Hawthorne School. So great to have you guys here. Please give them a warm welcome.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Please rise. Please rise and be welcomed to the Illinois General Assembly. Continuing on with House Bills 3rd Reading on the -- page 6 of your Calendars. House Bills 3rd Reading. House Bill 1637. The gentleman indicates he -- wishes to proceed. Mr. Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Harmon.

Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 1637 is the Keep Illinois Families Together Act. I will admit it is far more modest than we had initially intended it to be, but it is critically important nonetheless. All the bill does is preclude local law enforcement from entering into what are known as 287(g) agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. These are agreements which would essentially deputize local law enforcement as ICE agents, stopping people on 18  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 the street, asking them for their papers, doing the federal government's job of enforcing immigration laws. The bill -- there -- there are no 287(g) agreements in place in the State of Illinois today, so we would not be upending them. It is a matter of public policy that we would adopt this and ask local law enforcement to focus on doing their jobs, protecting our streets, enforcing local laws. It does not stop police from doing any anything that they are doing today. It does not preclude them from cooperating with the federal government under certain circumstances in enforcing warrants and the like. Some have asked whether or not this is already covered by the TRUST Act that we adopted last year. While it certainly would have been intended to, there is a risk that these 287(g) agreements would provide an end run around the -- the TRUST Act. So I hope I've laid out the -- the -- the parameters that people are concerned about, but I'm happy to answer your questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Senator Righter, for what purpose do you rise?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) The sponsor indicates he will. He will yield, Senator. Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Harmon.

Thank you, Madam President, and thank you, Senator Righter, for that question. As the expert testifying in committee said yesterday, no. The 287(g) agreements are relating to the -- the enforcement and the -- the -- the -- the -- the excess capacity in the jail would not be impacted, according to the testimony from the expert in committee yesterday.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Harmon.

Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Senator. My intent is to preclude local law enforcement from entering into 287(g) agreements and thereby becoming ICE agents on the streets of our communities. I believe the expert who testified, who said the -- the -- the jail arrangements would not be implicated by the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) To the bill, Senator.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Further discussion? Seeing none, Senator Harmon, to close.

Thank you, Madam President. I appreciate the conversation with Senator Righter. I do want to emphasize the -- the one point though - there are no such agreements in place, and that's key. 21  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 ICE is aggressively encouraging these sorts of agreements, and the concern certainly is, once they are in place, we would not be able to avoid them legislatively. As a matter of public policy, we would like our local law enforcement officers to do their jobs, to patrol our streets, to protect us in our communities, not to be distracted by doing someone else's job - in this case, ICE. This is something that we should make a priority for our local police officers, to support our local police forces and ask them to do the jobs that we are paying them to do and not become junior deputy ICE agents. I ask for your Aye votes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) The question is, shall House Bill 1637 pass. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 35 voting Yea, 19 voting Nay, 0 voting Present. House Bill 1637, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. Mr. Secretary, Committee Reports.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Muñoz, for what purpose do you rise? SENATOR MUÑOZ: Point of personal privilege, Madam President.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Please state your privilege point, Senator. SENATOR MUÑOZ: I was wanting to vote Aye on the last vote. I didn't get to hit my Yes button in time. If the record can reflect, I'd appreciate that.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Record will reflect… SENATOR MUÑOZ: House Bill 1637.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. The record will reflect your intentions. Moving on to House Bill 2045 on the Order of 3rd Reading. Senator Sims. The gentleman indicates he wishes to proceed. Mr. Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Sims.

Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 2045 should be fairly familiar to this Body, as it has been passed previously. The bill prohibits the Department of Corrections and Department of Juvenile Justice from requiring a committed person to pay any copayment for medical or dental services. I know of no opposition, will answer any questions, and ask for a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall House Bill 2045 pass. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 45 voting Yea, 12 voting Nay, 0 voting Present. House Bill 2045, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. Senator Koehler, on House Bill 2074. Out of the record. Senator Harmon, on House Bill 2134. The gentleman indicates he wish to proceed. Mr. Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Harmon.

24  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 2134 amends the Freedom From Location Surveillance Act. Current law prevents law enforcement from obtaining current or future location information without a court order. There was a U.S. Supreme Court case in 2018, Carpenter against U.S., that found that historical cell phone data was also protected. This merely amends the Act to conform to the court's decision. I'm not aware of any opposition and I ask for your Aye votes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Is there any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall House Bill 2134 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 59 voting Yea, 0 voting Nay, 0 voting Present. House Bill 2134, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. Senator Sandoval, on House Bill 2182. Senator Sandoval. Out of the record. Ladies and Gentlemen, please turn your Calendars to page 10. With leave of the Body, we will go to page 10, House Bill 3394. Senator Belt. The gentleman indicates he wishes to proceed. Please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

Thank you, Madam Speaker -- Madam President, I'm sorry. 25  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Senate Committee Amendment No. 2 deletes all and becomes the bill. As amended, the bill removes the mandate that any corporation have a minimum number of women and/or minority persons on their board of directors and instead focuses on gathering data related to the current representation of these individuals on boards and directs the University of Illinois to study such data and make recommendations to improve such representation. Madam President, what the bill essentially does is it's requesting that all publicly traded boards in Illinois report their composition of their boards of directors to the Secretary of the State; the Secretary of State would then forward that information on to the University of Illinois; the University of Illinois would then do a study and then make recommendations on how to improve diversity or whatever it deems necessary. I know of no opposition at this time and I would ask for all Aye votes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. Is there any discussion? Senator Righter, for what purpose do you rise?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Senator Belt.

…would be correct.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

Senator, the bill instructs the University to devise a rating program. It's vague and it leaves it up to the University to decide how to do so.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

On -- it's -- it's in the -- it's actually in the wording -- the language of the bill. It says, "The rating system shall 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 consider, amongst {sic} (among) other things: compliance with the demographic reporting obligations in subsection (c); the corporation's policies and practices for encouraging" direct -- "diversity in recruitment, board membership, and executive appointments; and the demographic diversity of board seats and executive positions."

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

Senator Righter, when they submit the annual -- annual report, they need to submit it to the best of their ability, as truthful as possible, or they subject themselves to perjury.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

Senator Righter, the language allows the individual to self- identify and report to the best of their ability, as truthful as possible, what ethnicity they -- or race that they are. If they intentionally be misleading in their -- in their response, then they are subject to perjury for doing so.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

So -- so, as it stands now, the annual report that corporations file has an affidavit at the end that already - as we speak right now - that already requires them to sign off to -- 29  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 that they're giving that information to the best of their ability.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

Would be the corporation that's submitting the information.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

It applies to the corporation, not to individuals.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Excuse me. I'm sorry. Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Belt.

…we've already talked to the Secretary of State's Office. They've already indicated that they'll included an "other" or "refuse to" -- "refuse to" category on the -- on the form, and so…

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Senator Righter, to the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. Further discussion? Senator Castro, for what purpose do you rise?

…President. To the bill, please.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. To the bill.

First off, I want to commend the Senate sponsor on this bill. One of things that we've always learned in this Chamber is data - you can't argue data. And the purpose of this legislation, whether you agree with it or not, is to collect data. And the idea, to think that this is an issue that's compounding nationwide as far as -- not proper representations from women to minorities to veterans, this is an opportunity to collect that data and study it. Our universities do that all the time and we need to look at that data to make educated decisions. So I commend the sponsor. And, yes, we need this data, because we've already seen how data can be used in different ways, but this is an issue that impacts women and minorities the most as far as their not being represented properly on boards. So, again, I commend the Senate sponsor and I look forward to voting for this and I ask for an Aye vote. 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. Further discussion? Seeing none, Senator Belt, to close.

Thank you, Madam President. In closing, I would say that this bill encourages -- it's really about data collection. Okay? It allows people to self-report. It -- it -- it -- if -- if you do not want to report, you can refuse. There's no penalties to doing it. It's not punitive in nature -- nature. We live in a society where it's -- everything is so fluid, right, and we want to be able to represent as best we can those corporations, the people who make up the great State of Illinois, and that's what it's designed to do. Again, as I stated before, it's really focused on gathering of information; report to the Secretary of State's Office; it goes to the University of Illinois; they do a report; they make a recommendation - simple as that. And with that being said, I would ask for all Aye votes going forward. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LIGHTFORD) Thank you, Senator. The question is, shall House Bill 3394 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) If you'll go to page 20 on the Calendar, we're going to go up to the -- towards the top of the page and do Senate Bill 1862. Senator Muñoz. Mr. Secretary, please read the bill. This is a concurrence. Mr. Secretary, please read the motion.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Muñoz, on your motion. SENATOR MUÑOZ: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This bill amends and makes changes to Scott's Law in response to the deaths of Trooper Brooke Jones-Story and Trooper Christopher Lambert of the Illinois State Police. Specifically, the amendment, this increases the minimum fine for Scott's Law violation without damage or injury from a hundred to five hundred dollars and it includes a two-hundred-and-fifty-dollar assessment. It also makes Scott's Law violation that results in damage to a vehicle a Class A misdemeanor and a violation that results in injury or death a Class 4 felony. It also adds Scott's Law violation to a list of aggravating factors that may be used in sentencing for a reckless homicide and increases the penalty for reckless homicide conviction based on a violation of Scott's Law that results in death of a firefighter or emergency medical service {sic} 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 (services) personnel to a Class 2 felony from a Class 3 felony. And it also clarifies the language of Scott's Law and applies the language to the requirements for approaching any disabled vehicle. I will attempt to answer any questions. It's a shame that we have to do this, but given the citizens of our State, whether they're downstate, City of Chicago, or they're on the expressways, seems like they have no regard for law enforcement or any -- our emergency responders. We need to make sure they're fully aware of what the ramifications can be.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall the Senate concur in House Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 1862. Those in favor, vote Aye.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator McConchie, to explain your motion. SENATOR McCONCHIE: Thank you, Mr. President. This also is in conjunction with Scott's Law. What it does is it requires the Secretary of State 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 to include at least one question in regards to Scott's Law on the written driving test; and creates the Move Over Task Force that's going to study issues of violations on Scott's Law and how we can improve that; and requires the Secretary of State to include, in the Rules of the Road, information teaching drivers on how to use the zipper merge method, which we've passed before. I -- I -- thankful for the Body's indulgence in regards to us trying to address this critical issue in our State. And I would ask for an Aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. Thank you for the kind 41  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 words, Senator. I think we all know in this Body that real work gets done when you attack it with tenacity, attack it with an intent; that you don't stop until you get real work done - and I want to thank you for that, Senator Curran. I've been proud to be at the table with you. I have been just really truly proud to be at the table with you. Thank you for your tenacity. Thank you for continuing when it looked like there was just no way this was going to get done. And I know that there were many times when we both thought this was not going to get done, and you didn't stop. And I really just thank you for that work. You're protecting the citizens where you live. This also includes Medline, which is just outside of my actual district, but is in Lake County, you know, where we have ethylene oxide in our air also. So thank you for your work; I appreciate it so much. And I said in the Environmental Committee this year that I thought this was one of the most important pieces that we were going to deal with, and congratulations. I urge an Aye vote and I thank you very much for your comradeship and your work on this. Thank you, Senator.

Thank you, Mr. President. This resolution is exactly the same as one that the -- the Body passed on this day actually last year, but it wasn't taken up by the House. It designates a portion of Illinois Highway 159 from Detour Road to Illinois Route 16 in my hometown as the "Lance Corporal Charles Heinemeier Memorial Highway". Corporal Heinemeier's family was here with us last year. They weren't able to be with us here this year, but I'd like to move this over to the House and perhaps we can get this done to honor this young man who was killed while serving our country during the Vietnam War.

Sergeant Gregory served as a Field Artillery Basic with Battery A of the 1st Battalion, 27th Artillery, 23rd Artillery Group, during Vietnam. He started his tour on May 6th, 1968, was injured on April 19th, 1969, and passed away on April 20th, 1969. This obviously is to honor his service and his memory.

I'm honored to present House Joint Resolution 76 this evening, a highway dedication in honor of Illinois State Trooper April C. -- April C. Styburski. Trooper Styburski was killed while 45  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 responding to an accident near Pingree Grove, Illinois, on U.S. 20, back in January 2009. Her husband and son survived her. Her husband, who is in very failing health, had asked my State Rep, Dan Ugaste, if it would be possible to help to have this section of U.S. 20 dedicated in her memory. So I am honored to present this resolution that will designate the section of Illinois Route 20 between Plank Road and Switzer Road as "Trooper April C. Styburski Memorial Highway".

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Villivalam, to explain your motion.

Thank you, Mr. President. The House saw fit, with House Amendment No. 1, to change the underlying bill. It will -- retains the underlying bill and requires that each subcontract must be paid with -- within ten business days or fifteen calendar days, whichever occurs first. Originally, we had it at seven business days when we sent it over. This removed opposition from the Illinois Construction Industry Committee {sic} (Innovations Conference), the Associated General Contractors, and the Illinois Road and Transportation Builders. It still has the support of the Federation of Women Contractors, the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association, and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Chicago. I would -- it passed the House with 101 votes. I would ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator DeWitte. 49  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 SENATOR DeWITTE: Thank you, Mr. President. I want to thank the sponsor for all of his work on this particular piece of legislation. I know there's been a lot of discussion as the Senate bill and House bill have come through the process. I rise in opposition to this bill. We still believe that this legislation conflicts with traditional contractual relationships between contractors and subcontractors. I would encourage a No vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. President. The House amendment deletes the bill as it was and it becomes the Illinois Department of Human 50  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Rights -- it provides that the Illinois Department of Human Rights has the discretion to determine on a case-by-case basis whether to hold a fact finding conference in housing cases and it also requires the Human Rights commissioners to be trained in housing discrimination. Lastly, it affords the Attorney General thirty days to begin a civil action after IDHR has entered into an administrative closure order on a case.

Thank you, Mr. President. I move that we concur with the House on their amendment to Senate Bill 416. The original version 51  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 of this bill that we passed unanimously sought to put a sanction on jail inmates who engage in lude conduct while behind bars. There was some late opposition to it in the House. The bill was amended and the new approach will be that this can be considered as a factor in aggravation on sentencing against an inmate when they're found guilty for an underlying crime. I -- I move for the adoption of the amendment. Would be happy to answer any questions.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. The -- the bill is the initiative of the Illinois Press Association. It's designed to clarify responsibility for the publication of certain notices. The House made some relatively 52  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 modest changes without changing the -- effect of the bill. I'd be happy to accept their changes and move to concur.

Senator Steans. Mr. Secretary, please read the motion.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Steans, to explain your motions {sic}.

Yes, thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This is the Medicaid omnibus bill that was negotiated between the four caucuses and the administration. Thank many folks in this room who spent a lot of hours starting at 7:30 a.m. every Thursday morning for their input on this. This is really focusing on addressing a lot of the payment issues we've been having and the delay problems between MCOs and providers and helping to make some changes within HFS that can also enable that. We should be streamlining some of the eligibility and redetermination processes, making sure that Medicaid managed care organizations adhere to prompt pay standards. It is requiring reporting regularly that -- on the MCO medical loss ratios. Creating a -- 54  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 an -- an -- a complaint process to make sure any payments are actually -- any, you know, disputes that they have in it are actually resolved according to a timeline. Really do want to thank the -- the many people who have helped get this bill to where it is. And I think it's a real opportunity to say we want -- we have a system right now that we've put in place moving people into a managed care environment in our Medicaid program, but we need it to work, and this is really our attempt to make sure -- we're trying to get everybody on the same page, moving in the same direction to make this process work, so we can actually take the value that we're supposed to be getting out of the Medicaid managed care program and we can focus on quality rather than just trying get the system to work. If this doesn't happen, we know there's frustration, we'll stay at the table and come up with a plan B, but we think this should get us to a much better position. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Syverson.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Steans, to close.

Yes, no. Thank you very much for that. And I, too, I wanted to close by thanking the administration. I really do feel optimistic that there's a team at DHS, HFS, and in the Governor's Office that really is rowing together now and trying to make sure that we actually reduce our backlog in making people eligible and the redetermination process and are really going to be keeping an eye on the ball and we hope it works. So I do also urge your Aye votes and thank you very much.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) So the question is, shall the Senate concur in House Amendments 1 and 2 to Senate Bill 1321. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open.

Senate Bill 1780. Senator Aquino. Senate Bill 1854. Senator Bush. Mr. Secretary, please read the motion.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Bush, to explain your motion.

Thank you very much. So this is a motion to concur over from the House and I'd like to explain this. So we talked a little bit earlier; Senator Curran had a bill that dealt with sterilization facilities with ethylene oxide. One of the things that we weren't able to deal with under that bill, because its -- manufacturers are very different in how they use ethylene oxide. But up in Lake County, the EPA identified that Lake County had four census tracts with greater cancer risks from air pollution that included ethylene oxide. Vantage Specialties was not included in the latest NATA due -- N-A-T-A results due to an error, so Vantage has -- since we became aware of them - they're a manufacturer that uses ethylene oxide - since we became aware of the issue, Vantage has, you know, been a good corporate citizen. They've installed additional scrubbers, additional controls, and we are beginning an ambient air testing in Lake County in June. But this is still needed to be done. So this amendment provides {sic} that facilities that emit more than a hundred and fifty pounds of ethylene oxide per the U.S. EPA's 2017 Toxic Release Inventory - by the way, this was 57  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 an emitter of over fifteen hundred pounds of ethylene oxide - that reside in a county with a population of at least seven hundred thousand from operating unless a facility has an Agency-approved emissions monitoring plan and has performed Agency dispersion modeling and has obtained a site-specific permit for ethylene oxide. That translates to, it gives the IEPA the tools to monitor, measure, and study, and model the ethylene oxide emissions and reopen the permit and set emission caps if they are needed. We're still waiting for those ambient air testings to be done, like they had been done in Willowbrook. Thank you, Mr. President. This is an important piece of legislation. I would ask for an Aye vote and I'm happy to answer any questions. We need to make sure that the people in Lake County and people throughout the State have clean air to breathe.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Curran.

Thank you very much. I just ask for an Aye vote.

Senate Bill 456. Senator Martinez. Mr. Secretary, please read the motion.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Martinez, to explain your motion.

Thank you. Motion to concur with House -- Senate Bill 456. As amended, stems from the Chicago Tribune article dealing with a series of stories regarding children being harassed or abused during their time as students at CPS. The legislation has been a bipartisan effort to address the issue of educator misconduct in school classrooms across the State. 456 is a summation of language from ISBE, Children {sic} (Children's) Advocacy Center, and the Chicago Public Schools to address this pressing issue. The bill also addresses a multiple -- multitude of issues, such as how a student is interviewed after making a complaint, making school districts check statewide databases more frequently, lessen the - - the retraumatization of a student's -- as victim, and creates a task force to continue to review these policies. Let me just say that this bill has been being worked on since last year. And I want to just thank JBT, Senator Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, and Senator Cullerton, T. Cullerton, because we all had similar bills; we came together. But let me just say that these past few months have been very intense. We've had everyone at the table, IEA, IFT, CPS, and -- and many others that were stakeholders were at 64  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 the table trying to make sure that we have a bill that will continue to protect our children. And I also want to thank Dillon who was very instrumental in making sure that we kept the talks going with everyone that was sitting at the table. And I just want to thank everyone for their -- all their help in making sure that this bill -- it's not perfect, but we're getting there. There might be -- be a few things that we might have to put back on a trailer bill, but this is something that we have put in place to make sure that these children that -- in the schools, as they are -- you know, if they have these issues, we have to make sure that we protect them. And I'll be happy to answer any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Tom Cullerton.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the motion.

Or to the motion. Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the -- the Illinois Senate. I want to thank Senator Martinez for her work on this. This is an incredibly important issue. Obviously, we have had investigations after investigations. Last year, they came forward through the Trib responses. Obviously, there is a task force component piece to this. So it's going to be very important that whatever the task force -- comes out of this, we need to expand and expound these -- these findings and make sure we keep our children safe in our schools. And, again, I want to thank Leader Martinez for her work on this bill.

We started this last summer with -- with committee hearings and I think it was very eye-opening to many of us. Past behavior in our schools cannot continue.

Thank you, Mr. President. The House added some language onto this underlying bill that was passed by the Senate. The first piece would make what I think are appropriate changes to the property tax relief grant in the evidence-based funding. The bill also makes adjustments to the role of the Professional Review Panel, or the PRP, which has been operating over the last year, seeking to focus it more on the evaluation of the items affecting the funding model. And it makes the State Superintendent of schools the chair of the PRP. And then, finally, it provides that the PRP may only evaluate elements that the General Assembly -- that we direct them to evaluate. I would ask for us to approve the concurrence motion. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Weaver.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the motion.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Any further discussion? Senator Manar, to close.

I appreciate all those -- those remarks. I would just clarify that there is no opposition to this bill from either the IEA or the IFT. This bill does not have an -- an -- any impact whatsoever on school districts today. What it does is it simply better aligns with what the intent was of the General Assembly for the property tax relief grant portion of evidence-based funding. I think if anybody looks at how the money was distributed and who accessed it, it's clearly flawed. I don't know of anybody defending the program today. So this bill is pretty simple; it just puts forward a different path for property tax relief grants that have to be applied for by school districts - it's not distributive - and it says that these grants should go to all districts, unit districts included, which were excluded before, and they should go to high- tax, low-value districts, which was the point in the first place. So I would ask for an Aye vote. 86  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Floor Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 2304 changes the name of the program to the "Training in the Building Trades Program". It provides that the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity should administer the program and removes the Department of Human Services and the Illinois Housing Development Authority from the bill. It adds that the program is available to persons from eighteen to thirty-five years of age that have an interest in building trades. It provides the Department of Children and Family Services, in consultation with DCEO, shall identify youth that have aged out of the foster care system and refer them to the community-based organizations that provide the training program.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. One of the reasons why this bill is very important especially is that I think many of us struggle with the fact that many minorities are not brought to the unions; there's not enough apprenticeship programs and trade programs out there for our young and -- for our -- our youth. Especially, I -- you know, this is something that I'm very interested in, making sure that DCFS kids, after they are -- actually, they age out, this is a good way for them to -- in these programs. There's some programs that are out there right now. One of the programs that we saw in Decatur was the Homework Hangout building, and I think that that alone has -- you know, it already has three hundred participants. The most 90  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 important thing is that we want to make sure that our men and women of color are able to apply for these jobs, these union jobs that we do not see many of. So this is an encouragement to make sure that -- it was brought to me by the union painters and I think it's important that they are recruiting our young men and women into the trades, because some of these students do not have access to university dollars or anything like that. So I would encourage an Aye vote. This is, again, a -- a good program to encourage our young men and women to enter into the trades. And I ask for an Aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 2627, as amended, requires any law enforcement officer questioning a student to first notify the parent and make reasonable effort to ensure that the parent or guardian is present during questioning. If a parent cannot be present, then every attempt should be made to have a listed school personnel present. The bill exempts a situation where law enforcement must make urgent and immediate action. The bill does not limit an officer's ability to make an arrest on school grounds. It is the intent of this bill that the role of any school personnel present during the questioning of the student is that of a neutral observer. I ask for -- have no -- I -- you know, I want to thank everyone, Senator Curran as long -- as well as law enforcement, who worked with on -- me on this bill. And I ask for an Aye vote.

It also allows the RTA to open a line of credit with a bank or financial institution as well as using working cash notes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Mulroe, to explain your amendment. 102  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

Thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to start by thanking Senator Curran for helping me out in -- in committee to make it -- to making -- helping -- the committee members understand, to make it crystal clear, what this bill is about. This amendment is intended to clarify the proper scope of the statute of limitations found in the Municipal Code, County {sic} (Counties) Code, Township Code for judicial review of a special use in zoning variance petitions. Currently, if a person files for a zoning change - for instance, a special use, a variance, rezoning, or other amendment - and the governing body makes a decision to deny the change requested, that person must seek judicial review of that decision within ninety days. This bill does not change that. It keeps that -- the ninety days for a routine zoning change request. What this bill does and the amendment does is clarifies that the ninety-day period does not apply when a person challenges the constitutionality of the ordinance. I'm happy to answer any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) This is on the amendment. Is there any discussion on the amendment? All those in favor will say Aye. Opposed, Nay. The Ayes have it. The amendment is adopted. Are there any further Floor amendments approved for consideration?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) 3rd Reading. Now on the Order of 3rd Reading is House Bill 2862. Mr. Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Would you like to explain your bill? Senator Mulroe.

Thank you, Mr. -- Mr. President. I'll rely on what I just said previously, but the reason we need this bill is that there are some courts who have misinterpreted or -- the ninety-day requirement to -- applying to constitutional challenges versus those other routine petition requests.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Curran.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) He indicates he will yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Mulroe.

Yes, that is correct. The attorney that was specialized in this area and does work in zoning changes said he is actually involved in current litigation. But, besides his, there's other litigation that the courts are not clear when this ninety-day 104  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 requirement of -- or what it applies to. Some courts are interpreting it to apply for constitutional challenges when it's pretty clear in the actual law it only applies to - and I'll read from the actual old language - "special use, variance, rezoning, or other amendment to a zoning ordinance". The current law does not apply to constitutional challenges, but some courts are misinterpreting the statute. That's why we're providing clarity.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Curran.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Mulroe.

That is correct. The attorney that testified in committee stated that no appellate or reviewing court has made the determination, but I don't believe we need to wait for that. There's inconsistency in -- unclear decisions right now. We want to provide clarity to the trial courts.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Curran.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Mulroe.

No. They only have ninety days to challenge when they petition for a -- a change, a special use, a variance, or another amendment relating to the zoning. This is a petitioner or a person who actually tries to, you know, request a governing body for a - - a change and gets denied. It's ninety days - that's it. It doesn't change. We're only saying that the ninety days does not apply to constitutional challenges - just like it does to every statute that we pass. Federally, if you're challenging it based on a federal Constitution, you have two years. Currently in Illinois, you challenge an Illinois statute, you have five years. We're just saying that the ninety days only apply to routine changes that are requested to a -- a municipality, township, or county.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Curran.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) 106  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Any further discussion? Seeing none -- Senator Mulroe, to close.

Senator Curran, thank you, for your comments. I would just say that there's always going to be current litigation, and in this case -- and if we wait for, on appeal -- appellate process to take place, that's very costly and it's very time-consuming. If 107  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 you recall also in committee, this attorney -- the judge that he's before ruled that the ninety days for -- based on the constitutional challenge, applied to that constitutional challenge and then he later reversed himself and said it did not apply. So they are -- the trial courts don't know. So we're just trying -- trying to provide clarity and guidance to the trial judges in saying the ninety days only apply to routine requests for changing your zoning; if you're going to challenge the constitutionality of an ordinance, you have the general rule of law on the time the statute of limitations that applies in every other challenge.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Belt. Is there any discussion? Seeing no further discussion, the question is, shall House Bill 3151 pass. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 56 voting Yea, none voting Nay, none voting Present. And House Bill 3151, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. We're going to turn the page, to page 10. At the top of the page, we'll actually start 112  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 with House Bill 3299. Senator Harmon. Senator Harmon, on -- Mr. Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon, to explain your bill.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 3299 is an initiative of the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission. It would direct that people living -- people with developmental disabilities living in a residential facility have access to developmentally appropriate sex education that focuses, as much as anything, on understanding appropriate signs of affection and avoiding predators. I know that the Murray Home parents in Senator Plummer's district have some concerns. I've also heard from a constituent with a ward at the Ludeman Center. But, beyond that, I believe there is broad agreement in the guardianship community and in the professional community that this is a good bill. The only thing terribly controversial about it is it has the word "sex" in the title. I'm looking forward to a conversation and I'm -- I'm happy to answer any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Is there any discussion? Senator Plummer.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Sponsor indicates he'll yield. 113  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

I can't speak for the House sponsor, Senator. I have had one phone call with one guardian. You and I have talked. I -- I received one email from another guardian referring to a House bill. But, beyond that, I have not been asked to make any changes or heard from any of those groups. And I apologize, I was not aware of that list of opponents. They are not registered as opponents in our system. And I'm -- I'm sorry if I misspoke, but those -- those are the only two groups that had any outreach to me.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Plummer.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

Well, I don't think I can answer that question, but I -- what I can tell you, Senator, is that the pilot program that DHS ran a few years ago - I inquired about this - and I would say that this is a hundred and eighty degrees opposite of what this bill does. That was, in fact, a one-size-fits-all proposal. As -- I -- I have gotten reports through the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission from DHS; I've not spoken to DHS directly. But the report I got was that was a one-size-fits-all program, where there was no differentiation based on developmental disability. DHS quickly realized it was not appropriate and withdrew it. DHS 115  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 reports that some of the more sensational allegations that you referenced in our prior conversations aren't supported by the evidence that they have. I have not seen the reports - I want to be clear about that - but they are -- were not aware of those sorts of claims. This program in this bill requires an assessment of each individual to determine their developmentally appropriate sex education materials and resources and does not treat everyone the same. So that's a critical distinction from the DHS program.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Plummer.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

I'm -- I'm happy to. I will read from the bill. "The person receiving habilitation shall be assessed…on whether he or she has decision making capacity to give consent to sexual activity; and…for developmentally appropriate sex education materials and resources. As part of the assessments, consideration shall be given to medical, psychological, and psycho-social evaluations. The person's decision making capacity to consent to sexual activity and the developmentally appropriate sex education materials and resources shall be determined by the treatment team…." Each individual is individually assessed and the program is designed 116  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 for their level of disability.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Plummer.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

I do not believe that's correct, Senator. These decisions are made in many contexts by a multi-member treatment team, just as it is done here. The treatment team includes the individual, the person -- the ward himself or herself, professionals who have knowledge of the individual, and the individual's guardian, if appropriate. It does not resolve a situation, nor do we resolve this situation in other circumstances, where there's a difference of opinion. And the -- the -- the guardian's role is not changed at all by this law. We -- we are maintaining and respecting the standards of decision-making set forth in the Probate Act. We are not diminishing or enhancing the guardian's role.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Plummer, do you have a lot of other questions or can you focus… To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Further discussion? Senator Schimpf. 118  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Indicates he will yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

No, I don't believe that it does, but you also ended that before the period. The rest of that sentence reads "and to be free from sexual exploitation and abuse". So this is -- this is not just sex ed; this is focused as much as anything on making sure people in these situations have a better sense of what is appropriate and what is not appropriate and how to protect themselves from predators and abusers.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Schimpf.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. And, Senator Schimpf, thank you for your questions. I -- I appreciate now, with that question, more your view. So thank you. The idea again - and in my earlier exchange with the prior speaker, I should have read this piece as well - the idea is that for each individual, they should be assessed for what is appropriate for their level of development and that the -- the -- the course material, if it -- or the -- the instructional material should be designed for that person's particular circumstances, depending on their functioning. Now, not everyone is low-functioning. There are many people here, in -- in facilities like this, who are relatively high-functioning and have an active social life, with or without any sort of romantic connections, and we want to make sure that they have the tools to navigate that - appropriate touching, appropriate ways to show affection. If they are sufficiently prepared for a -- a romantic relationship, they should have those tools. So that's what it means. Someone who has a very low level of function would get a -- radically different sex ed resources than someone who is functioning at a high level.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) 120  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 Senator Schimpf.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. Based on my consultation with the folks at Guardianship and Advocacy and experts in the field, I would say, yes, for -- for -- for certain folks, no education would be appropriate, and also, for others, something akin to the warnings we give to our youngest children about being touched or watching out for predators may be the only thing that is appropriate. So, yes, there would definitely be a -- a -- a -- a graduated level of instruction.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Schimpf.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Further discussion? Senator Holmes.

To the bill, Mr. President.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the bill.

I'm always a little shocked in this Chamber when we have these discussions. Number one, I would say, as a Body, one of the things we do that we place so important and so dear and spend a vast amount of our budget on is education. Why do we do that? I think we do that because we all understand that education is power. And yet, when it comes to something like age-appropriate or with -- those with developmental disabilities having sex education that is appropriate for the level of disability, we all of a sudden are going to back away and say, no, we don't think education's appropriate, we don't think our children or those with developmental disabilities deserve the power. And that's what it 123  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 is, it is the power to be able to protect themselves, to be able to understand what is right and what is wrong and how to recognize it and how to protect themselves from those situations. To stand here and say that a program like this - this is my favorite part - a program like this will lead to STDs and pregnancy. I'm really curious, because I kind of understand what leads to STDs and pregnancy and it's not education. I would ask everybody to work on giving our children and those with developmental disabilities the power - the power - to know what's right for them and to protect themselves. I urge an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Harmon, to close.

Thank you. I appreciate the earnestness of all speakers, in particular those who raised opposition to the bill. I understand this is a sensitive topic. I would like to make just two points. The -- the -- the DHS pilot program that has been referenced as a reason not to pass this is in fact a reason to pass this. That was a program that didn't work. This is the polar opposite. It says in the bill that it must be individually assessed and must be appropriate for the developmental disability of the -- of the -- the ward. And second, if -- if I were to make the requested change and give guardians ultimate power, it would be a radical change to our guardianship law. Guardians are not given the right to make their decisions; they are given substitute judgment and they are supposed to make the decision that they believe their ward would want them to make. And if there's a dispute about that, the ward may go to court and seek a judicial intervention to have the guardianship changed. So we are not changing that at all. We are 124  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 leaving in place the current guardianship rules. We purposely have not changed the Probate Act. So that remains the same. I appreciate the -- the sensitivities, but I do ask you for your Aye votes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) The question is, shall House Bill 3299 pass. All those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Link, to explain your bill.

Thank you, Mr. President. This -- this bill allows DCFS to have the discretion to deny or refuse to renew a license under the Child Care Act of persons who are -- will be working with confidential information or submit billing documents. This can be done when applicants have been convicted or -- of committing or attempt to commit certain felony offenses. I know of no opposition to the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Any discussion? Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Link.

Yes, you are correct.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Link.

Not totally, but I will explain that. This was a case where this individual's had -- had a license for a number of years and she let -- her offense was over twenty years ago. She's had a clean record. And the point was, all of a sudden now, in the twelfth hour, they denied her a license to expand her business after saying it was okay, and then they used some kind of excuse that there's some other kind of federal program, which nobody can show. Now, the Department was the one that said if we do this 128  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 piece of legislation, her license would be able to be renewed.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Link.

It has never been codified into law. They have always had the discretion to do it. We're codifying into the law to exemplify what they want to do.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Link.

First of all, it's one person that brought this attention to me, but after we had a town hall meeting, we found out that there were other people. And when we had the town hall meeting with the 129  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019 -- interim director at the time, they said they've had the discretion, but they really didn't have the discretion because it wasn't codified into law. They've used the discretion and now we're codifying it into law.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Senator Righter.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR KOEHLER) Any further discussion? Senator Link, to close. 130  STATE OF ILLINOIS 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 54th Legislative Day 5/30/2019

Thank you, Mr. President. I think that the -- it's a little bit of a misleading nomer {sic} of what was just said on this thing. The Department is the one that really wants this piece of legislation, because the Department will feel more satisfied to have it the way we drew it up and they will be able to grant this license for a person who's had this license for over twenty-some years. I think it's necessary to help this person because I'm sure there's others that fall into this particular idea. I would ask for an affirmative vote.
