Point of announcement.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) State your announcement.

Thank you, Madam President, and Members of the Senate. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing the Jimenez family to the Capitol to commemorate the passing of la Señora Guadalupe Jimenez. Alongside her husband, Guadalupe Jimenez, co-founded Carnicerias Jimenez, one of Chicago's first and most successful Mexican grocery businesses, which has expanded to many locations throughout the Chicagoland area, including West Chicago. Guadalupe Jimenez left a lasting impact on the community of West Chicago through her advocacy, including donating two semi-trucks filled with water bottles for the individuals of Flint, Michigan, who were in need of clean water. Guadalupe Jimenez was deeply committed to her faith and was a significant pillar for the Archdiocese of Chicago, and she mentored many local entrepreneurs and silently sponsored organizations throughout the city, the country, and the world. Guadalupe Jimenez was a formidable 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 businesswoman and a trailblazer whose no-nonsense approach was softened by her charming manner, great love for people, and huge heart. I would like to ask the Chamber for a moment of silence to commemorate the loss of Mrs. Jimenez. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Ladies and Gentlemen, please stand for a moment of silence. (Moment of silence observed) Starting on page 4 of the printed Calendar, we are going to go to House Bill 1592 that is sponsored by Senator Fine. Do you wish to proceed? Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

So, our lovely Senator Karina Villa talked about an incredible woman in the Latino, and particularly the Mexican-American community, but I wanted to introduce the family, the Jimenez family that is actually here with us today. They're up in the gallery. I actually have been a client of this grocery store since I was a little girl. This -- the Jimenez Carnicerias and grocery stores have been well known throughout Latino and particularly Mexican communities throughout the Chicagoland region. And with us today, we have Mr. Jose Jimenez, we have (Luz) Maribel, Jose the III and Victor Jimenez(-Razo). And I just wanted to acknowledge them and 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 give them a warm round of applause for joining us here today and their contributions to the State of Illinois.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Welcome to Springfield.

Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) With leave of the Body, we are still on 3rd Readings. We're going to go back to page 5, starting with House Bill 4219, Senator Crowe. Do you wish to proceed? Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Crowe.

Thank you, Madam President. House Bill 4219, authorizes the Illinois State Treasurer to convey property to the City of Collinsville, for purposes of tourism and hospitality, for one dollar. If the property is not used for tourism and hospitality, it will automatically revert to State ownership. I know of no opponents and I asked for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any discussion? Seeing none, the question is, shall House Bill 4219 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 54 Ayes, 0 Nays, 0 voting Present.

Gray TV is seeking leave to record video of the proceedings. Seeing no objection, leave is granted. Near the top of page 6, we're going to go to House Bill 4326, Senator Belt. Out of the record. House Bill 4386, Senator Joyce. Do you wish to proceed? Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Joyce.

Thank you, Madam Chair. House Bill 4386 provides a single shot centerfire rifles and centerfire handguns, that are either a single shot or a revolver, are legal firearms for deer hunting season. Furthermore, the bill clarifies that both bottleneck and straight-walled centerfire cartridges are legal ammunition in deer hunting. Lastly, 4386 provides a definition of both single shot and centerfire. House Bill 4386 seeks to permit the use of single shot rifle and straight-walled ammunition for taking of deer during regular deer season. Currently, Illinois -- or Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Missouri all allow hunting a deer with rifles of some sort. As previously stated, the purpose would allow the use of straight-walled ammunition. This ammunition is slower and less powerful than bottleneck cartridge, but has a higher accuracy, that would yield more effective hunts with less wounding. Reviewing over a dozen straight-walled cartridges that would qualify, the range is about 100 to 200 yards. We currently have 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 several ways to hunt deer that are of that range, 50 caliber muzzle loader rifle, barreled shotgun. This would give a lighter load, with a similar range and increased accuracy that would provide opportunities for youth and those in smaller in stature individuals to get involved in regular deer hunting. I know of no opposition and ask for Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any discussion? Senator Bryant, for what purpose do you seek recognition?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) He indicates he'll yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Joyce.

Say a .357-Magnum -- pistol. That round could let me shoot in - there's very different rifles that would carry that round, but these are straight-walled ammunition only, and they have a low - a smaller load than most bottleneck. So, there's -- there's a lot of different ammunitions. I have four or five in front of me right now, a .44 Mag, a .454 Casull, a .460 Smith and Wesson. These are all pistol rounds that then can be shoot -- shot in various different rifles that are already manufactured.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 Senator Bryant.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Joyce.

The revolvers, I mean, that -- the pistols that shoot those. This is a rifle that shoots those manufactured rounds and you can only have one shot in the rifle that - would carry that, to be legal.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Bryant.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Joyce, do you wish to close.

For an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) The question is, shall House Bill 4386 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?

Do you wish to 13  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 proceed?

Mr. Secretary, are there any Floor amendments approved for consideration?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Johnson, to your amendment.

I would like to adopt the amendment and explain it on 3rd Reading.

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

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) 3rd Reading. Senator Johnson is going to proceed on House Bill 4452. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Johnson.

Thank you, Madam President. House Bill 4452, as amended, 14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 makes a minor technical change to the Community Mental Health Act to fix a discrepancy in the referendum process for the creation of a community mental health board. And the amendment just simply states that instead of being effective in June, it will be effective July 1st, 2022, to avoid interfering with referendums that have already been approved for the June 2022 primary. There is no opposition and I ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any discussion? Senator DeWitte, for what purpose do you seek recognition? SENATOR DeWITTE: Thank you, Madam President. To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) To the bill. SENATOR DeWITTE: Thank you, Madam President.

Do you wish to proceed? He indicates he does. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator McConchie. SENATOR McCONCHIE: Thank you, Madam President. This bill simply removes the affirmative defense to a charge of solicitation of a sex act with a minor, or a person with a severe, or profound intellectual disability. Under these changes by the bill, an accused can no longer claim that they reasonably believed that the person or the -- was an adult, or not disabled, and puts us in a line with the majority of states of having that burden be on the perpetrator. I would ask for an Aye vote.

Provides that August 1st of each year is designated as Sweet Corn Appreciation Day, to those to be observed throughout the State as a day to celebrate the importance of sweet corn in Illinois agriculture and the recognition of family farms.

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

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) 3rd Reading. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Bennett.

Thank you, Madam President. And just by way of announcement, I think I should do them a favor. Senator Rose meant to vote yes, I'm sure, for House Bill 4766, Sweet Corn Day. Surely, he just got muscle memory and kept hitting the red button but we can address that after this bill. (House Bill) 4769, as amended, would remove temporary licensure for individuals seeking to become a licensed behavioral analyst. This bill would allow the Department to issue a license to certified behavioral analysts seeking licensure as a licensed assistant behavioral analyst and a certified behavioral analyst. I think they want to see how many times they could say that in the analysis. Seeking licensure as a licensed behavioral analyst. Okay. So, let me -- let me try to clarify that. So, there are those with different behavioral issues, including autism, that have benefited from different -- 21  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 from different therapies that - in working with the behavioral analyst. The problem we have is that, thus far, we have not -- we've not brought it in to -- to conformity, I think, with a lot of other medical professions in the State. This would allow the Department to -- to license it and to regulate it like we do in so many other fields. This is, as amended, I believe we've taken all the opposition out. This is pushed by a lot of different autism groups, including Autism Speaks and our amendments have moved the social workers, clinical psychologists and the pathologists and audiologists to neutral. I would ask for your Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator McConchie. SENATOR McCONCHIE: Thank you, Madam President. This bill would create the County Design-Build Authorization Division for counties to permit counties to enter into design-build contracts. Under this, a 22  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 single entity, both the design and the builder, would be able to do both the design and construction under a single contract and be able to do this in a less costly manner for construction projects. Ask for an Aye vote.

He wishes to proceed. Mr. Secretary, read the bill, please.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Connor.

49 -- House Bill 4979 represents an agreement between all the stakeholders that would allow individuals entering long-term care and applying for Medicaid benefits to irrevocably assign life insurance benefits to a funeral home for the purpose of prepaid burial. It also increases the dollar amount that could be set aside and exempt when determining Medicaid eligibility. So, basically, this addresses a situation in which indigent folks entering nursing homes, in order to comply with Medicaid 23  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 requirements, would have to sell whole life insurance policies, which were for small amounts and were intended to cover burial and funeral expenses. They would have to sell them for pennies on the dollar, resulting in a loss to their family and -- and to them in order to qualify. So, this eliminates this problem. It came into being here in Illinois when the SMART Act was passed in 2012, and there were provisions that should have been made, that weren't. So, we're correcting a problem, and I would ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any discussion? Senator Plummer, for what purpose do you rise?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) To the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Conner, would you like to close this?

Just, thank you very much for those kind comments, Senator. And I will also -- would like to thank Leader Manley in the House for pursuing this relentlessly for the last two years. So, I'd ask for an Aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. HB 5098 provides that any annexation, disconnection and annexation, or disconnection of territory, must be reported to the Illinois Department of Transportation by the corporate authority of a municipality initiating the action. I know of no opposition and I ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Is there any discussion? Seeing none. The question is, shall House -- I'm sorry, Senator Morrison, did you have something you wish to say? Please remember, this is deadline week.

I have a question of the sponsor, please.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) 27  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 Sponsor indicates she'll yield.

So, Senator, this information needs to be transmitted to the Department of Transportation. Can you tell me why?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Pappas.

Yes, thank you for that question. The Illinois Department of Transportation uses the information in order to adjust their maps for the purposes of distributing the Motor Fuel Tax to the municipalities in Illinois.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Morrison.

So, is this a form of remapping?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Pappas.

It -- it is a form of remapping that is initiated by the municipalities through the annexation or disconnection or disconnection and annexation of territory.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Morrison.

Senator Pappas, before you came to the Senate, there were a series of many hearings and a lot of discussion on remaps. Don't you think that this type of remapping rises to the same import in merit?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) 28  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 Senator Pappas.

I don't believe I'm qualified to have an opinion on this subject. I do believe that these types of annexations and disconnections are initiated by the municipalities as a routine course and are approved, presumably, by the voters of the municipalities in question, and therefore are not really subject to hearings within our Bodies.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Senator Morrison.

In the interest of time, I'm going to discontinue my questions, but this doesn't seem to be soup yet, so I'm going to ask everyone to vote No on this one.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR HOLMES) Thank you so much. Mr. -- Senator, on that question, shall House Bill 5098 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open.

HB 5201 would establish the Agriculture Equity Commission to ensure equity in the State's top job producing industry by recognizing the current adversities that minority farmers face in the industry and the effect on the food system, health, and economy of vulnerable communities. The Commission would reflect the representation of socially disadvantaged communities, businesses, 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 farmers and include those that are policy experts, legislators and others who are experienced in agriculture and related matters.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) The record will reflect, Senator. Senator Fowler, for what purpose do you seek recognition?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) House Bill 5441. Senator Gillespie, indicates she wishes to 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 proceed. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 5441 clarifies the existing definition of "unable to give knowing consent" by adding that even if the accused did not provide, or administer an intoxicating substance to the victim, that the victim remains unable to give knowing consent when the victim has taken an intoxicating, or controlled substance, causing the victim to become unconscious of the nature of the act. And this condition was known, or reasonably should have been known by the accused, but the accused did not actually provide the intoxicating substance. It seems hard to believe that that's not already our law, but it's not. So, what this law is making clear at the behest of the Illinois Appellate Court and with the support of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police that a victim of sexual assault is not responsible for what happened to her, even while - - even if she had taken an intoxicating substance. The impetus of this bill is a constituent of mine who was told by law enforcement that her case wouldn't stand in court because she voluntarily consumed alcohol before someone assaulted her. No survivor, who is brave enough to go to the police, should be dissuaded from pursuing justice like this. We all know someone who is unconscious from drinking is unable to give knowing consent and our laws must 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 reflect that. I ask for an Aye vote. Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Is there any discussion? Senator Sally Turner, for what purpose do you seek recognition?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) No further discussion. Senator Gillespie, to close.

Thank you, Senator. And I appreciate the welcoming that the committee did for my constituent who wanted to come and testify. I thank you all so much for your support on this. And I look forward - in committee and I hope to get the same support on the Floor today. Thank you.

It also removes the prohibition of a person conditioning any student athlete's compensation for attending a particular university.

House Bill 1449, Senator Cunningham. Indicates he wishes to proceed. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Cunningham.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 1449 will extend the sunset date and update provisions of the Elevator Safety and Regulation Act and the Fire Equipment Distributor and Employees Regulation Act of 2011. The updates have all had stakeholder input. Amendments in the Elevator Safety Act are mostly a clarification and updating of existing provisions, particularly the provisions being added to Section 10 (d). They are intended to affirm the original intent of the legislature with regards to the application of the Act. That being that the Office of the State Fire Marshal has regulatory authority over State owned buildings in the City of Chicago as it had - as it has had since the statute's enactment. This clarifies - this clarification closes a potential regulatory gap by codifying the current operations of the agency clearly and removes potential confusion about the regulatory authority of the Office of the State Fire Marshal. It is supported by both the State Fire Marshal and the City of Chicago. This portion of the bill will leave no doubt to the -- as to the State Fire Marshal's regulatory scope in these buildings. Amendments in the other part of the Act provide updates 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 and modernizations which will provide a better program for both the industry and the office, such as by transitioning to a three- year licensing cycle. I know of no opposition and I ask for your support.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Is there any discussion? Senator Barickman, for what purpose do you seek recognition?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Sponsor indicates he will yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Cunningham.

Sorry about that, had to check with counsel. I'm told the Department wanted this change so they could deal with these issues on a case-by-case basis.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Cunningham.

Yeah, they could. This would just ensure that they address compliance based on the existing codes in the statute.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Cunningham.

So, one of the things that they were - had problems with the existing statute, is that some of the enforcement could infringe on off-duty conduct where they wanted to be focused on on-duty conduct. 49  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

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

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) There being no further discussion. Senator Cunningham, to close.

I just want to note that I read the legislative intent. That's why I deliberately read those remarks at the beginning. I think the things you're concerned about, Senator, just point to giving the employer discretion on what they choose to enforce and whether, or not, they want to take personal conduct that has nothing to do with the job into effect, that -- that's what the Department is trying to get at. I ask for an Aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President. So, House Bill 5283, originally, just made some changes to the Public Library District Act by stating that when electing officers for the board of a public library district, instead of electing a treasurer, the board could adopt an appointed qualified person. So, in addition, the amendment, then said that if there is a vacancy on the Public 61  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 Library District Board, that the vacancy would be filled within 90 days, and if it were not able to be filled within 90 days, the Secretary of State (State Librarian) would fill that vacancy within a 30-day period of time. And if no vacancy could be filled, it would be done at the next election. So, I don't know of any opposition and I'm happy to entertain any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) 3rd Reading. On the Order of 3rd Reading. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 246 is the culmination of a couple of years' worth of work between the nursing home industry and the Department of Health and Family Services and the General Assembly. It does several things to reform the way that rates are paid in nursing homes and to drive greater accountability into the system. It moves from the RUG-IV payment base to the PDPM payment base. It includes a staffing incentive which now requires that nursing homes meet the STRIVE -- federal STRIVE target for staffing, and they must meet a certain level in order to get the incentive. It provides quality incentives driven by the federal Five-Star Program as modified in future years. It -- it adds CNA add-ons to help reward seniority and account for promotions of CNA's who are the primary staffers of nursing homes. It expands the wage adjuster in Cook County statewide, increases the base rate to -- by $7 per diem. It includes a Medicaid access adjustment for those who -- facilities with seventy percent of their occupied bed days being Medicaid and it requires full 63  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 ownership transparency for the first time. I'd like to give a big thank you to staff who worked tirelessly on this bill, including Andrew Hoffman, Aaron Holmes and Miles Sodowski. Thank you, gentlemen, and we wouldn't be here without you. And with that, I'm open for any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Is there any discussion? Senator Morrison, for what purpose you seek recognition?

To the bill, Mr. President.

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

Besides thanks to the staff who worked alongside the sponsor, Senator Gillespie deserves all of our thanks. She has brought her expertise and her commitment and spent two years in helping to reform this system with all the stakeholders at the table. I'm very proud to be a co-sponsor of this and ask for an Aye vote from all of us.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Holmes, for what purpose you seek recognition.

Questions of the sponsor.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Sponsor indicates she will yield.

Thank you so much. Senator Gillespie, I have a few questions on legislative intent. Is the intent of this legislation to implement both a new Medicaid reimbursement system and a new bed 64  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 assessment at the same time?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

Thank you, Senator Holmes. Yes, it is the intention of the General Assembly to have both the reimbursement system, as well as the bed assessment, take effect on July 1, 2022. If the federal centers for Medicaid and Medicaid Services fails to approve the State plan amendment, or if the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services fails to file the necessary administrative rules by June 1, 2022, then implementation of the reimbursement system will be delayed to October 1 of 2022.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Holmes.

If the new reimbursement system is delayed and the bed tax is implemented July 1st, then what is the Department doing to ensure the facilities have enough revenue to pay the tax?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

The Department has stated it will continue to pay reimbursements based on the current reimbursement system, plus the staffing and quality add-ons. The increased seven dollars in the base rate and the Medicaid access adjustment included in the new reimbursement system.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Holmes.

65  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 How did the negotiations end on $92.25 as the base rate?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

The current system uses a formula to take into account costs of providing care, among other things, which sets a base rate for reimbursing providers. That formula currently pays out at $85.25. Starting with the current number, it was agreed to add seven dollars to the base rate, thus $92.25. As the cost of providing care changes over time, there are provisions in this legislation that require the Department to report on these cost changes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Holmes.

And finally, Senator Gillespie. What is the intent behind the schedule for the quality add-on?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

The quality add-on is viewed as an adjustment to the base rate and is intended to drive improved quality.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Holmes.

To the bill.

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

I just want to thank everybody who spent countless hours 66  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 working on this. Senator Gillespie, you have been involved in this for literally months on end. And I want to thank you for your hard work that you've done on behalf of the people of Illinois. Thank you. I urge and Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Tracy, for what purpose do you seek recognition?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Sponsor indicates she will yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie.

We have had lists that have been worked on from time to time. Those lists have varied as we've modified the bill to its current form. The addition of the provision that for the first six months, 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 all nursing homes will be treated as if they were at eighty-five percent of STRIVE and paid to that level, has significantly reduced any negative impact to nursing homes. With staff, we'll do a double check and make sure there aren't any still left on that list, but I believe these changes have addressed most of that.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Tracy.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Gillespie, to close.

I'd like to thank Senator Tracy and Leader Holmes and Leader Morrison for their kind words and support in this. Thank you to all of my colleagues who have worked on this, including those in the House, namely Representative Moeller, who has worked hard on this with me, as well. I do think this is going to do a lot to help improve the quality of care for our residents in nursing homes. And I ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Over the years, the General Assembly, going back as far as 1861, has adopted resolutions urging Congress to call a Convention under Article V of the United States Constitution. These have, by and large, been based on specific concerns of the day, but there has been a recent recharacterization by some activists that these calls for a Constitutional Convention could be a call for an open Constitutional Convention, essentially the potential for a runaway Constitutional Convention. So, this resolution would simply 79  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 rescind all of those resolutions adopted over the years, so that we are sure Illinois is on record as calling for a Convention when and if we decide to call for a Convention. Happy to try to answer your questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Any discussion? Senator Barickman, for what purpose do you seek recognition.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Sponsor indicates he will yield.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senator, first of all, I don't recall that argument being made at the time. Second, unlike the Senator Plummer resolution, I believe we just passed, that 80  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 rescinded our ratification of the Corwin Amendment from 1861, which was affirming of slavery. And I'm glad that we took that action to rescind our ratification and the state's ratification of that. This is not rescinding ratification of an amendment. This is rescinding a call, a message to Congress, calling for a Convention, so that it is not improperly misconstrued.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senator, you might be referring to a 1943 resolution calling for a Constitutional Convention. I'm 81  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 not entirely sure. I'm willing to bet that a resolution issued in 1943 calling for a Convention has likely fallen on deaf ears. I would also point out, and during our exchange in committee, the operative language of the resolution we were debating, and I will presume without knowing for certain that the operating language of most of these resolutions, calls for a Constitutional Convention, it is couched in the whereas clauses, and the preamble is being intended to be limited to one thing or another, but that highlights exactly the issue today. We do not want what we may have thought at the time to be a call for a specific constitutional amendment to be misconstrued as an invitation to a runaway convention where all sorts of things: a woman's right to choose could be outlawed in the Constitution, workers' rights could be dismantled in the Constitution at a runaway convention. We are simply taking a prophylactic measure to ensure that one of these calls for a Convention, whether it was from 1861, or 1967, isn't mischaracterized today as a current call for a general Convention.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon. 82  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022

Thank you, Senator. I imagine, I personally would stand by some of the calls, but not all of them. As we discussed in committee, you and others have voted against some of these calls, but you seem very intent on protecting them now. What I am saying is that the -- the preamble to these resolutions, however well- intended, led to general calls for Convention, which could be misconstrued. I would be happy to call for a Convention to do something noble and worthwhile. We do not just want these lingering calls to be out there for mischief by folks who do us no good.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senator which -- which call relates to slavery? Are we confusing it with Senator Plummer's rescission on the Constitutional Amendment?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) Senator Barickman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon.

Thank you, Mr. President. And thank you, Senator, for your great effort to protect a resolution from 1913. Obviously, it did not have the desired effect at the time of calling for a Constitutional Convention. I would be worried, and I am worried that these outstanding calls for a Convention, dusty as they are, 84  STATE OF ILLINOIS 102nd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 107th Legislative Day 4/6/2022 could be misused today to call for a Constitutional Convention that could result in the elimination of fundamental rights for Illinois citizens.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) To the resolution.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR MUÑOZ) President Harmon, to close.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. -- Mr. President. Thank you, Senator, for a robust debate. I am delighted that you are so interested in -- in this issue. I would point out that the only resolution we have passed this century, frankly, in the last fifty years, is one that the prior speaker voted against, as did most of his colleagues. I would think you would be more enthused about rescinding it. But that being said, I ask that we all take the prudent step of making sure we send messages to Congress only when we intend to do so, and we don't let the messages sent by a prior General Assembly be misinterpreted and misconstrued to the detriment of the people we represent. I ask for your Aye votes.
