Chapin Rose (R)

Ladies and Gentlemen, if I could have the Chamber's attention, this is a sad… This morning about 6:45, we found out that one of my best friends in the world, a Champaign police officer, was shot in the line of duty. He is going to be okay. Unfortunately, his partner, Chris Oberheim, who I don't know, but who's my constituent 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day 5/19/2021 from Monticello, Chris was killed defending the citizens of North Champaign. My friend's name hasn't been released to the public yet, so I'm not going to say it, but he's in stable condition - thankfully. He is the coach for my son's Little League team. He's faithfully served as the games coordinator for our church's AWANA program that my kids go to. And he's defined by his faith. Officer Oberheim, his wife is the nurse practitioner in Monticello. Her boss has already called me this morning to tell me what an amazing person he was and how devastating it is to that community. He's the father of four, four little kids. He also was, apparently, a coach. I saw on his Facebook page, somebody said, we will never forget the sacrifice that you made in your profession, the sacrifice that you made -- that you made so you -- you could coach our girls on the softball team. This person went on to say, "I remember the many times you worked an overnight shift, coming straight to a tournament with no sleep." That was Chris Oberheim. He was a veteran of the Champaign Police Department, also Decatur Police Department. I talked to the Decatur Chief this morning, who told me that Chris' many friends still in that department are mourning his loss, along with their brothers and sisters in the Champaign department. Chris has relatives that are still police officers in Decatur. I talked to the Monticello Superintendent of Schools today, Vic Zimmerman, who also noted the -- the enormity of the loss for the community of Monticello with Chris' passing. Both of these men displayed the courage and selfless sacrifice that defines our brave men and women in blue. Please join me in praying for Chris' family, the successful recovery of my friend who was wounded, and to keep all of our men and women in blue safe as they serve each and every one of us every day. Please keep 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day 5/19/2021 them all in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Members of the Body.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Murphy, to your bill.

Laura M. Murphy (D)

Thank you, Madam President. Ladies and Gentlemen, Senate Bill 633, as amended, would require that incidents of sexual assault that occur on school grounds during the normal school day operations would be reported on the Illinois State report card. In order to protect a student's confidential information, none of that would be listed. It would certainly -- it would just simply be a numerical system. And in a smaller community, where there may be only one incident, it would be listed as less than ten. So we have worked through all of the opposition on this bill. I'm happy to entertain any questions, should there be any. Otherwise, I would ask for an Aye vote.

Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Senator Murphy. I know that we had many questions regarding this bill about confidentiality in reporting and -- and keeping the -- the data and the names confidential. So you addressed that. We also had concerns about, in smaller districts that many of us represent, the need to, you know, use a different metric, and you addressed that as well. It would just -- be reported for smaller schools less -- there would be a "less than ten" category. So, thank you for listening to us and making those changes. And I'll support your bill. Thank you.

Linda Holmes (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any further discussion? Seeing none, Senator Murphy, to close.

Laura M. Murphy (D)

Just ask for an Aye vote. Thank you. Appreciate that, Senator Rezin.

Linda Holmes (D)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) The question is, shall Senate Bill 633 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? To our remote voters. Senator Ellman. Senator Harris.

Napoleon Harris, III (D)
