Thank you, Mr. President. What amendment No. l will do to this bill is, basically, delete the original eontents of the bill. It creates the same program , only uses different mechanisms. What it creates, is an Act to promote Energy Efficiency and to reduce operating costs in governmental buildings. The purpose of the amendment is that there was a number of objections. due to the fact that the original bill created a new agency in government. What have decided to do by this amendment: instead, is to let the program be administered by Department of Energy and Natural Resources - have a couneil consisting of -- an Interstate Energy Conservation Committee composed of the directors of ENR, CDB and CMS, eo be staffed by Energy and Natural Resources.

And -- and what we -- we eame up with - the Department of Children and Pamily Services suggested an amendment and I -- I understand that this amendment ls also on several other bills that -- we extend the definition of abused child to include the new born infants, who are physically dependent upon an illegal substance. Because the Department needed to, at that point in time, be able to come in and -- in many instances, take custody of those children, who were left in the hospitals, or that Was addicted to substance abuse upon birth. It also requires the hospitals to -- to screen those high-risk mothers, or if they suspect that once a child -- a mother's given birth in a hospital that that mother is addicted to substance abuse, to, in fact, to screen those children prior to khe children leaving the hospitals, to determine whether or not the child had any negative impact from the mother's addiction, and to report the findlngs of those children to the Department of Children and Pamily Services. In addition, it also required that those doctors, who had pre-screened, and found Women to be preqnant and addicted, to report to the State Board of Health the find -- their findings: and in turn, the State Board of Health would contact the local Infant Mortality -- Reduction Network Wlthin the area which the mother lived, to inform them to get involved With that person to encourage them to get involved with recovery programs, and treatment programs, to minimize the possibility that that child Would be born addicted. I move the adoption of the amendment. I would be happy to answer any questlons.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Dudycz, on Amendment No. 2.
Thank you: Mr. President. Floor Amendment No. 2 -- since Senate Bill 630 imposes a tax on most plastic containers, my amendment says that such State tax pre-empt local governments, including home rule unitsz from imposing a similar tax. NoW the rationale for that -- for the amendment, is that currently Chicago -- the City of Chicago is considering a similar tax, and we do not wish the businesses and the people of Chicago Eo be taxed twice for the same thing - to take a double hit.
PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Welch.
Mr. President, I have another amendment I'm offering to this bill that removes that tax, so it would render this bill -- yourre 79 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23e 1989 amendment, I think, and mine would not be in order. What my next amendment will do - is this, 1et me explain that. What my amendment will do is give a leeway of three years, allowing for the plastic industry to hit a target - a fifteen percent recycling target of al1 plastic containers by October 1992. At that point, there would be a tax of one-cent per container. rn 1994, if they don't hit twenty-five percent, there would be a two-cent tax per container. Now I -- the original bill, that youlre amending, imposed a tax immediately, T believe, of five-cents per container. So what I'm doing is, I1m delaying the iaplementation of the tax until 1992. So think that -- that throws your amendmene out of whack with the rest of the bill.

Senator Neksch offers Amendment No. 1.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Amendment No. 1, Which I am proposing to Senate Bill 1035, would change the investment tax credit to apply it to the State Incone Taxp rather than to the corporate personal property tax. This is an issue thak has arisen, as a matter of fact, from the very first day that the Investment Tax Credit Was passed some years ago. It has been my argument, and is my argument today, that if we believe that the Investment Tax Credit is a matter of good tax policy, then we ought to have tbe deeeney to take it out of the State Income Tax, rather than thrusting it off oneo the locals. It was put on to local governments through the Replacement Tax Pund initially, because there Was some feeling that there was going to be a windfall in the Replacement Tax Fund. That has, clearly, not been the case. It is not a huge sum of moneyz but it seems to me as a matter of tax policy and tax fairness that we, the Stake, ouqht to be willing to apply the Investment Tax Credit to our own State Income Tax .
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Lady moves the adoption of Amendment No. 1. Any discussion? Senator Riqney.
Well, Mr. President, I just kind of Wish that maybe the sponsor would not puk this amendment on to my bill. I don't want ll3 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislaeive Day May 23, 1989 anythlng on here that might possibly sink it. I think, you know, you can possibly do this through a straight up billw clean from the beginninq, rather than to come on to the bill this way With this type of an amendment. Pointed out it's only about fourteen million dollarse but as I look around various bills on the Calendar, it's ken million here, you know, fifteen million there. And this is one of these type of baggage type of amendments that I think could get us in trouble before June 30th.
PRZSIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHQWICZ) Senator Netsch, to close.
Well, I'm not so sure that it is excess bagqage on your bill, Senator Rigney. The -- one of the things that I think you 've got to realize ls that some of our units of local government are hurting more than the State treasury at the present time. And what ke are saying, is that the -- the benefit of the Investment Tax Credit should not be foisted off onto local governments. They didn't pass the bill in the first place. It was our idea. It is going to be our idea to extend it, and we ought to have tbe gumption to put our money where our mouths are, and pay for ik out of the State tax, rather than out of local government taxes. I would suggest that your local governments would be delighted to see this amendment on Senate Bill 1035.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWTCZ) Any discussion? Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETscH r Thank you, Mr. President. This is a -- an amendment to the Revenue Act involving a property tax exemption for a specific piece of property, Cantigny, and it's being offered as an amendment to a bill that doesn't have anything *o do with that. I think it's: more or less, an insurance bill. And I'p going to question the germaneness of the amendment to the bill. l28 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 END OF TAPE TAPE 3
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady questions the germaneness, of Amendment No. 1 to 1298. It will just take a moment. We'11 get back to that Order in business. The ruling of the Chair is that the amendment is not germane. It does not amend the same ehapter. Any further amendments?
No further amendments.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, 1 beg to disatree because Ehe -- the Act itself that it is amending: is on the charitable organizations. And this is a charitable organization.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Well, wefve already made the ruling. Senator Netsch.
Well, what -- what T1m trying to suggestz Senatör DeAngelisz is that When, you knowp you start exempting particular pieces of property from the -- from the State - or from the property tax, that is a revenue matter - tbat is a property tax exemption, and it ought not be done by hangin: it on to some other unrelated bill. Now, if you want to find another property tax exemption bill and try your amendment again, I won't raise the germaneness issue. But I really feel kind of strongly about not tacking property tax exemptions. I have some problem with the basic 129 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 concept of what you're doing, but the germaneness thing, think, is quite important in this case.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, I don't Want to prolong the debate on this, but Senator Netsch: if I were to take your interpretation of the scope of Revenue Committee or revenue activities, it would embody the entire General Assembly. Now, the part that Tfm amending is, in fact, the part tbat applïes to public cbarity. Thks property has been ruled exempt by the IRS and everybody else. Now, if you think this ought to be belong on a regular private property bill, I would disagree on that. Because the exemptions you fre talking about apply to privately owned property. This is a property that's owned by a charitable organization.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much, Madam Chairman. What -- this is also a TOA bill. Basically, what it does is - it's an Act to prevent fraudulent and corrupt practices, with relation to official appointments and contracts. And it prohibits a township supervisor or trustee, during the term of election, to be appointed to hold any office by the appointment of the board of krustees unless a leave of absenee is granted. What I was told was happening - was that there were a couple of townships that were setting up commissionsw salarying the commission, and then they were appointing themselves to tbe commission, and, in effect, eollecting two salaries. This is a practice that the township offickals themselves would like to stop. And so would ask your support of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any discussion? Senator Jacobs.
Thank you: Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senator Fawell, I talked to you about this bill a little bit l41 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 earlier. This bill ls really a dangerous bill. What you're trying to do makes -- makes a lot of sense, and I agree with What you're trying to do. But any time that you can give an elected official a leave of absence, We are breaking some serious, serious ground here. We are settin: precedent that I don't think we want to set. Question then Would be of the Senator, if ve are to -- if We are to -- to go into this muddy water, this unclear water, in regards to whether or not we're going to give leave of absences to elected officials; how long is that leave of absence for? Can it be up until the time that you take your duty to go to a meeting attend your meeting again resign - or take a leave of absence right after the meettng - until the next meeting? just think that this provision of the bill - I'd like to see you hold it. I like to see an amendment on this bill that Would address that issuez 'cause it's a real serious situation, in my estimation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
Why don't you take it out of the record. 1'11 see if I can get an amendment *onight, and we can bring it back to 2nd Reading.

Thank you very much. This is, again, a township bill. A11 does - is it allows the township supervisor, With the advice and l42 STATE UF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 consent of the township board of trustees, to employ, and fix the compensation of a Township Attorney, and other such employees, as the supervisor and the board of trustees may deem necessary. It does exclude the employees of the Supervisor of General Assistance, Township Collector and the Township Assessor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any discussion? Senator Keats.
Question of the sponsor: please.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) She indicates she Will yield.
What we are doing is authorizing the townships to hire people they presently can't hire. Something is - townships normally hire people on their own. What are -- Why are *e authorizin: these new things?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
There has been a question of -- of who may employ, and fix the compensation, and this says - supervisorz kith the consent and approval of the township trustees. It's been a question of whether the trustees have khat aukhorityz or khe supervisor has that authority.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any further discussion? If not, the question is -- Ifm sorry, Senator Schuneman. Senator Schaffer.
Well, I've always been a little cautious. Sometimes these township governments get in a little feud. Whose employees are they setting the salaries for? The Township Road Commissioner, for instance? 143 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Pawell.
It -- it excludes the Office of Supervisor of General Assistancey Tcwnship Colleetor and Township Assessor. That's language that's already in the bill - I mean that's already in the 1aW. It doesn't say anything about the Road Commissioner, one Way or the other.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Sehaffer.
Would youdre law allow the town board to set the salaries for the township road distriet, Which is currently the purview of the township road commissioner? And is this bill sponsored by the Township Officials Association?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
It is sponsored by the Township Association, yes - Dave Regner. It shifts it's just the the hiring and -- and the -- and the salaries to the supervisor and the board of trustees. It doesn't chan:e the language as far as the road commissioners, one Way or other.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Schaffer.
Well, I Want to know, if I'm a Township Road Commissioner, and I've been hirlng - I'm a separate entity, I'm a township road district, does this bill in any way, shape, or form take my powerg to hire people, away from me - to set salaries, and any purview that I have right now?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SCNATOR COLLINS) l44 STATE OF ILLINOTS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Leqislative Day May 23# 1989 Senator Fawell.
No.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any further discussion? Senator Philip.
Thank you: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I -- I hope I understand this blll. What I think it does - it allows the township officials, whether be a supervisor, an assessor, or a road commissioner, to set the salary of his employees with the consent of the board of trustees.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
Al1 this is doing - thiss you know, the Supervisor of General Assiskance, the Township Collector, and the Township Assessor, are removed from this prerogative. The town - let me read you the exact bill, and the underlined word is the ''ToWnship Supervisor with the consent and approval of the''e that's what underlined, ''township board of trustees may employ, and fix the compensation of a township attorney and such other employees as a supervisor, and the board of trustees may deem necessary, excluding the employees of the Office the Supervisor General Assistance, Township Collector: and Township Assessor''.

Thank you very mucb.

I'm not sure who else is left, to tell you the truth, but anywayy what it does - it allows them to set the -- the hours and the days that they can get off, et cetera.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Madam President. I have no opposition to the bill: but would only note to the sponsor that this bill directly exempts the road commissioner, and her prior bill did not. And she might want to look at that prior bill for a specific exclusion in the House.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Keats.
The bill sets up - question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SEHATOR COLLINS) She indicates she will yield.
Allows there to be a personnel officer designated. Is this l46 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 allowing them to hirer a new person: or designating an existing person to do these functions?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
It says that -- it doesn't say anything about hiring anyone elsey no. It just that the township board has the riqht to adopt, may adopt, it's a permissive - personnel policies.
PRESIDING OPFICCR: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Keats.
Okay. As I Was reading my analysis, it talks about a Personnel Officer. What I just Want to make sure is we are not authorizln: the hiring of a Personnel Officer, 'cause there aren't fifteen townships in this State that have enough work for a Personnel Offieer. And this would be a little more than payroll padding.
PRESIDING OPEICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
Let me read the -- the lanquage of the bill. It says, f'the township board of trustees may designate the officer or other person to administer the procedures and personnel policies.'l It doesn't say anything about hiring anybody else. It's just that they can designate someone.
PREGIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Severns.
Thank you, Madam President. Question of khe sponsor.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) I'm I'm sorry, Senator Eeats had not completed his questions. Senator Keats, again. l47 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMDLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
Okay. Then could I make an affirmative statement that you would concur with. This does not authorize the hirin: of a personnel officer, this is not authorizing simply payroll paddin: by adding another person. Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Pawell.
It doesn't prohibit anybody from being hired, but it sure as heck doesn't give them permission either. You know, township government in -- in -- in different sections of the State are -- are differentw Senator Keats. In my townships, We do have twenty-five, thirty people that are on the payroll right noW for township government, thatls not that unusual. A township supervisor will, perhaps, explain it.
PRESIDING OEPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Severns.
Thank you, Madam President. Would the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) She indicates she Will yield.
Senator, realize the Township Officials of Illinois: at least based on our analysis, is -- is the organization that's requested this language. My questlon to you is - aren't Eownships already authorized to do what this language provides? Is there anything in the laW that precludes them from performing this function now?
PRESIDING OFPICCR: (SZNATOR COLLINS) Senator Pawell.
148 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION ' SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 I Number one, this is permissive language, 1et me make sure you understand that. The second thing is, apparently there has been some problems in the various townships on who has this authority . Is it the township trustees? ls it the township supervisor? Thls bill speeifically says it's the board of trustees -- that has that authority. PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator. Further discussion? Senator Karpiel.

PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Karpiel. SENATOR EARPIEL; Well, now this is a serious question. I'm a past Township Supervisor. And as a Township Supervisor, by lawz you also serve as Supervisor of General Assistance. Are there some townships that appoint somebody different that's the Township Supervisor of - - of General Assistance. Because if that's not the case, there is nobody left in this bill that would be able to hire anyone. So, I don't know what Welre doing with the bill.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
In -- in -- in answer to your question, there are some other personnel. If you remember there are some personnel, for instance, that answer the phones, the secretaries, the clerks, that type of thing. at least we have in my townships. And that Would be the ones that would - that they Would eontrol.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 577 amends the Insurance Code and allows an insured to be covered for mental, emotional and nervous disorders to choose a licensed clinical social Worker and to -- and for to conduct -- to conduct treatment, and also make other...other technical changes. This bill is not a mandated coverage, as many of you have probably been told. What it does is give the consuners a choice. It simply provide that the insurance policy which offer mental health coverage should -- should also cover the services of a licensed clinical social worker. And Illinois, if you work toward a totally drug-free Illinois, manyz many persons who are drug addicted and are on -- on alcohol or other chemical drugs, now most of them go to a clinical social worker. Nineteen states currently have this law . Our federal government, sixteen million federal employees mandate that -- clinical social workers be included in that coveraqe. And 1'11 answer any question anyone has on this bill. And I ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Well ehank you, Madam President. I really don't understand Why the sponsor insises that this is not a mandate. because of course it is. It is an additional level of treatment that insuranee companies will be required to offer to policyholders. Now an interesting thing about these bills that we pass around here mandating additlonal care and mandating additional costs. I think the first thing you ought to consider, isn't your health insurance costly enough? Isn't it costly enough? Xou want to mandate more coverages and more costs? That's precisely what this bill doesy l56 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legkslatkve Day May 23: 1989 because it allows -- it...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator... For What purpose? State your point, Senator Jones.
Just a point of order. Currently right now, Senator Schuneman, in a1l policies up to ten thousand dollar, this coverage is already there. We are not mandating that coverage. is already there. A11 this bill does is provide that a licensed clinical social worker, a a policyholder may choose, if they so desire, to have that treatment by a licensed clinical social Worker. The mandated benefit's -- the benefit's already in the policy. PRESIDING OFFICERI (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Schuneman.
Well, thank you. I think that's rather unusual to allow someone to break in durinq a presentation, Madam President. The simple fact of the matter is, that this...that this bill will require that insurance companies inelude in their policies specific mandated coverage that is not now in the policies. Now there's no way of escaping that. There is mental or nervous disorder coverage in the policies now, but it does not give the covered person the option of consulting a clinical social Worker. And that's what this policy does -- or that's what this bill does. This bill is opposed by the people that are going to have to pay the cost. And basically, that's the small employers of Illinois. Now the ones -- understand that when we pass a bill around here mandating additional coverages, there's a whole wide ranqe of employers that we don't affect. We don't affect the State of Illinois group insurance. We don't affect the insurance for Caeerpillar Tractor Conpany. We don't affect the insurance for Sears or any of the major employers in the State of Illinois, because the federal government says We canft. So who's lefk with 157 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 the -- with the burden of paying these costs? Itls the small I l employer who is not covered by the federal ERISA plan. And I have ! nothing against soeial Workers.They do a good job,and many times j are recommend by psychologistsandothersWho -- whose services 1 are mandated to be covered under -- under the law now. But this is, regardless of what others Will tell you, an additional mandaked coverage, and it will have an additional cost. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELTS: Thank you: Mr. President -- or Madam President. I don 't normally disagree with my colleague, Senator Schuneman. But Senator Schuneman, if you will look at line 12r the -- the coverage is already offered. In fact, it says, ''shall offer.'' And what ehis bill really does, it sives you a choice between Who ls going to do what youfre looking for. And I have to tell you, between the three choices if this bill's passed, this is the least expensive choice. And in many instances, the only available choice. And I have, as a former employer, have -- have always been concerned about inereasing medical costs. But let me read you, just briefly, parts of a letter that were written by one of the largest employers in the State of Illinois: AT&T. ''AT & T ds ' j experience in utilizing social workers to treat employees and ' families has been most positive and beneficial. In using 1 ! I reimbursement for social workers throuqh our insurance plans, we ' * h 1 ave not found our eosts risingol ' In thirey-four counties in ' Illinois, a social worker is the only treatment alternative j available. In many areas of Chicago, social work services are close by, whereas other reimbursable eounseling is located some distance away from the consumer. I really do believe we ought to pass this, because for those who are concerned about rising I medical costs, this is a more competitive and less costly I I l58 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 alternative.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg.
Thank you, Madam President. This bill, I would like to again just to reemphasize to Senator Schuneman as Senator DeAngelis did, would not mandate any new benefits. Itls only available to those people Who already have mental health benefits. It just gives them a choice, which in most cases would be for a -- a cheaper cost. Xou're going to a licensed social Worker in -- clinical social worker, and I think if any of you had the experience Within your family of having someone seek counselinge youdll find the rates may be half that that you Would pay for a clinical psychologist or for a psychiatrist. Not al1 kinds of mental problems or counseling demand the same kind of specialist. Many people need choice. The companies that have tried this - IBM, United Airlines, American Airlines, Honeywell - have a11 found that it's been a benefit to their policies. And 1, too, am worried about those thirty-four counties in the State of Illinois Where the only mental health services is a social worker. Should we be denying those people the help they need? This bill would enable those thirty-four counties to have that choice, and to be able to get the mental -- menkal counselinq that they need for themselves and for their families, within the family structure of those counties.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any further diseussion? If not, the question 1s, shall Senate Bill 577 pass. Those in favor vote Aye. I'm sorry. Your -- Is your light on, Senator Jones? Oh, I'm sorry. Senator Jones, to close.
Yeahe Thank #ou, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. As pointed out -- as pointed out, this coverage is already offered in the policies. In many communities downstate, there are no 159 I STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX I REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! I 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 psychiatrists. And kith the drug and alcohol problem that we have in the State of Illinoisy we need the clinical social workers. Because many of those persons who might go to a psychiatrist, or might go to a psyahologist, they are referred to a clinieal social Worker and many of them to do the job. It does not increase cost but -- but to the contraryy it reduces the cost. And -- and for those of you who have been contac*ed abouk this being a mandated coverage: you eannot mandate something that is already in most of the polieies that are offered. So what this bill does: saying simply, if you offer this coverage, then you must include in there the clinical social workers. I ask for a favorable vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he will yield.
Senator Jacobs What - What's the rationale for what appears to be a difference in -- in standard here? It looks like what youlre doing is givin: employees a thirty-day probationary period, after Which time diseipline cannot be given Without just cause. But teachers in the same school district are given a minimum of two years to have -- or let's see -- sehool distrlcts have minimum of two years to evaluate Ehe performance of certified personnel before granting tenure. So, certified personnel gets tWo year probationary perlod: and We take it down to thirty days for custodians, secretaries, and cafeteria personnel. Why -- why the differenk standard?

Yes. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 614 is an ecfort to provide incentives to encourage males to enter into the teaching profession and, particularly, to get black males and minority males to teach in the school systems. Being that young nales have very few opportunities in many instances, especially those from single parent familles, to have a very positive, a permanent: I mean a dominant role -- male role model in their lives. So, What this bill does, it -- it grants scholarships to minority males to teach in *he public schools for two years after they -- certified ta teach. And it also allow them to teach in non-public schools: at the request of an amendment put on by the representatives of the Catholic School System . So, I would be happy to answer any questions, if not, I would appreciate a favorable roll call.

According to a fiscal note I have here fron the Scholarship 1 Commission, it's seven hundred and thirty thousand dollars. But 1 that seems to be high: because some of these people already 1 I qualify for exiskinq scholarships, anyWay. 1 I PRESIDING OFFICERZ (SENATOR D'ARCO) j ! l65 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLANDI Wellg 1'11 -- 1611 get to that point in a ninute. But -- but it would -- aosume for a moment that the seven hundred thousand is -- is a correct figure. Does that money not: theny come from some other area of khe Seholarship Commission?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senakor Collins.
What do you mean, does ie come from some other area of the scholarship Commission?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Maitland.
My point is, Senator, every time We set -- set aside a category here, we -- we withdraw some of the available money from the overall program, and that concerns me. So, I think *he Body ought to be -- be aware of that - that the scholarships We are getting, unless We bump this in that amount, obviously, there are going to be some students who otherwise would have received a grant will not. My next concern, Senator, is the fact that, I believez ehe kay the legislation is drafted, it is possible for an individual to get - to qualify for the normal needs grant, and also get this :rant: is that not true?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator collins.
No. That is not true. Now if -- if that is a -- if itls so, it is a technical error; but that is not the intention of the bill. And I don't know if you could -- if it's possible under existing 1aw to receive two scholarships. I know that you cannot receive a legislative scholarship from the Commissiong and then 166 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23p 1989 I turn around and receive the regular scholarship: because they're I I basically the same. So, that's not possible.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) Senator Maitland.
Well, just finallyr Mr. President, there is no prohibition in -- in the language as -- as We read it. So, I think it is -- you know, very definitely a concern. I think this Whole issue is a -- is a problem, and I don't disagree with you. But I -- I - in this period of time, when we have limited funding, and not knowing where the revenue is coming from I -- I just believe the Body ought to oppose the measure, at this time.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Sustra.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I rise in support of this piece of legislation, and I -- I'm frankly, a little disappointed in the opposition, and 1611 tell you why. We cry crocodile tears on both sides of the aislew year after year, about those horrible inner city schools, and how we ought ko do something about them . HoW We ought to turn things around. And we know that one of the big problems is that Federal and State Affirmative Action Programs have made it very lucrative for young minoràty students to take jobs in 1aW firms - go to the besk law schools - go to the best medical schools - go into medical practice. And passed by along the wayy are our Elementary and Secondary Educational Facilities. We simply don't have th9 same kind of encouragement in this State, or anyplaee in this country: to foster and encouraqe young blaeks or minorities to get into teaching' the way We focus on some of the other more lucrative professions. It's time we do that. I don't know whether this bill has a1l the t's crossed and the i1s dotted, but it's an ! l67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23y 1989 awfully good attempt ko deal 71th that. I certainly eoncur with . 1 Senator Maitland, if there are some problems that need to be worked out . letfs do it. But I would disagree that we should tube this bill. Let's work out these diffieulties. I think this is an awfully good idea. We ought to pass it, and let ehe House clean it up. Dut, my qosh, if we're concerned about inner city schools and Chicago Sehool Reform, here's another way to get at the problem . I say votez Aye. PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOI Senator Collins, to close. SENATOR COLLINS: ïes, thank you. Let me just say there are other seates who are doing ehe same thing, too. And -- and 1ar9e metropolitan areas Who are trying to provide incentives to get males to go into the teaching professlon. Senator, 1et me just respond to some of your concerns, as -- as it relates to the cost of this program . If# in fact, the Scholarship Commission have scholarships to give out, anyway, there should be nothing wron: with them taking a look at, and encouraging -- in giving out those scholarships, to ensure that more males are involved in -- in the whole teaching profession. I think this is a concept that is long overdue. And I would appreciate a favorable roll call. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A11 right. The question is, shall Senate Bill 614 pass.

Because we already have that program now in the schools. So, it just expand the programy itself, to include the teaching of these of those - that particular subjece matter. PRESIDING OFFICERI (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Topinka.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. There is, apparently, a fiscal impact, but the Department of Public Health is just not quite sure what it ls. But they seem to feel thak ihe cost of implementation Would vary by the type of media. For example, radio, TV: posters, flyers, billboards and, you knok, how sophisticated those materials may be. So this could have kind of a buried and hidden fiscal problem, which we kind of ean see, but can't feel and touch at this point.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senaeor Collins to -- Senator Demuzio.
Well, I think just for a point of clarificaeion With Senator Schaffer's question. In the Act itselfz it says in Seetion 3, ''the comprehensive health education programs#'' and it goes on to list that ''the program established hereunder shall include, but not be limited toy'' and it qoes on to talk to human ecoloqy and 1 health: et ceterap so forth and gets dokn to personal health 1 1 habits, alcohol, drug use and abuse. And Senator Collins is adding the medical: legal ramlfications of alcohole drug, tobacco use and abuse during pregnancy. I assume that is in addition to those thinqs that should be taught within that health cateqory. And therefore, even though it does say shall, it just seems to me they 're probably already doing it in the school.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) All right. Senator Collins, do you Wish toe close?

And and -- khat broadens ehe rights of the property owner for redempkion, noe limited to the cereificate holders notice. That is the only stated allowable reason at ehe present time.

One of our problems in major metropolitan areas is getking these properties back on the tax rolls, getting owners into fixing them up, and whatever.

'Cause under the bill, it looks lkke it'd would be extremely difficult to :et somethin: back on the tax roll.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Berman.
Thank you. Just so therefs no misunderstanding. Your explanation is correct, and the amendment restated thak. This is l 1 I l73 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 34th Legislative Day May 23y 1989 I 1 >- this has nothing - the bill is not intended to allow a redemption on the basis of unfair assessment.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlenen of the Senate. This bill, 629 has the full support of the Illinois Comnunity College Board. As some of you here presenty I certainly know that that Senator Philip and Senator Vadalabene and Senaeor Newhouse certainly remember, twenty years ago when Governor Ogilvie formed what was called a Experimental Comnunity College District in my area. And since that time, that they have nokz at the suggestion of the Audit Commission and others, that they're going to create a - in 1990, January lst: a State two-year college in Sast St. Louis, to be named the State Community Collegez and no longer be experimental. It abolishes the current board of trustees, effective January lr 19 <sic>, and creates a Statewide board of trustees of State Community College, to consist of seven membersy the present board has nine, four of whom shall reside in the former district, and three shall be from around the State. The Members of the board of trustees wl1l be appointed by the Governor, with the consent of khe Senate, from nominations , submitted to the Governor from the Illinois Community College Board. Now of this that it will - the college has had problems. Ik hasn't been able to grow because that the areas - and people thak moved out. This kay they can reach out and bring in others, and it can require a concentration of educational programs I l75 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23z 1989 emphasizing voeational, technical, remedial and adult education. And so -- this is what is vitally needed in that area, and this Will be a catalyst that will be very beneficial to everybody in that district. So, I would ask for your most favorable support of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Gentleman from Bond, Senator Watson.

That's eorrect.
What Will change here then, Senator. I mean as far as the fiscal impact of the State?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATQR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hall.
The funding mechanism will be the same for this. But eventually, that there will be an assessment, a tax for the people in that district; and they will have to begin to pay like the rest of ehe district.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson.
l76 STATE QF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 A11 right. So I guess then that could ultimately be a savings here, as far as funding from -- from a State appropriation, it'll be funding, then, locally throuqh a property tax that will take carry on the school. Another question, Senator. What's going to happen with the buildings?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hall.
Itîs - the buildings are still going to be there. The college will be theree but they lll be - they can -- they can what We call charge back - and - which they do right now with Belleville Area College and all.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Currently there exists in the Statute a homestead improvement exemption. Unfortunately, many constituents don't know about that exemption, and that's hoW this bill was brought to my attention. What this bill does, is require assessors and supervisors of assessments to notify an owner of a homestead property of possible eligibility for that improvement exemption When the assessed value of the property increases, due to the improvement of an existing structure. A fiscal note was requested. In the opinion of DCCA, it was a local government organization and structure mandate, for which no reimbursement is required. This will be a minimum act on the part of a local government, basically to tell a person when they have a buildinq permit that they are entitled to an exemption, once their properEy is improved.

This is one of a series of Illinois Farm Development Authority bills, and it removes the Cap on the net worth of an individual farmer for the agency to be able to extend loan guarantees to thak farmer.

Thank you. This is a controversial, yet a straight straightforward proposal. And if you'll listen carefully, I think itîll eliminate a lot of questions. All -- says -- Senate Bill 648 does, is provide that a11 the members of the -- State Board of Education would be elected, rather than appointed. There would be one additional - one member from each congressional district in Illinois, and there Would be -- that would be and tWo members appointed by the Governor, two of those would be of a minority status.

There are a number of reasons why the board should be elected . l82 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Againz it's a straight board straightforth proposal. It's similar to the one that we afford With the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, you either like it, or you don dt. I Would Solicit your favorable support.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Senator from Cook, Senator Dudycz.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I stand in opposition to Senate Bill 648 for several reasons. First of all, Illinois already has more elected -- officials than any other state in the United States of America. And What Senator Demuzio is trying to do ks to a6d twenty-three more that are elected, and then he wants to add tWo appointed. And We just debated the amendment on the appointee that one of those appointed members must be a Hispanic, tWo must -- tWo must be -- minority members. You've not addressed whether one of those Whether women are -- are included as minorities among the two. Also, the Illinois Constitution... PRESIDING OFFICER) (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) In my house, theydre the majority.
.. . it provides for the election...pardon?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) In my house, they are the majority
.. . the Illinois -- the Illinois ConstituEion provides for *he election or the appointment of the State Board of -- Education, not for b0th. So this is a -- a flawed bill, and I urge kts defeat.

Senator Demuziog in your opening comments you said there are a number of reasons why we ought to elect the State Board, but you failed to say What those reasons were. I'm just curious. Why -- Why - if it ain't broke, why do we want to fix it? That's a question, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
Senator Maitland. I Was trying to spare you. There's eight hundred bills on the Calendar. Would be more than happy to Mive you a -- an essay that have in front of me with all of the litany why I believe that they should be electedz and I'm prepared to do ehat. I Was aetempting to spare the Members of this Senate with the long lengthy debate. If you persist, I would be happy to -- to provide you with a list.
PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Maitland.
Well. Thank you, Mr. President. Senator, I've served here for eleven years With you, and you've never spared those reasons khen you had a real strong interest in something. And I really question Why -- why you refuse - I just want to make the point.
What's your point?
We -- we right now have a balanced State Board Education. As al1 of you know, they are pieked by -- by the Governor. No -- no more than nine members can be from any one political party. They are geographically located around the State. It just seems to me that that the board, that as the Governor picks these individuals, he is picking someone who understands education. l84 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Many of them have been former school board members, and they're people who really understand the wants and the needs, and the conditions in education. And it seems to me, it's just like Senator Demuzio, When we attempt to elect the Commeree Commission; we begin to have people running for special interest purposes. And I just don't think that's good. I think we ought to stick with what we have. It's serving us well. And I Would urge defeat of Senate Bill 648.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio, to close.
Well. Thank you very muchp Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I happen to think that the elected process is perhaps the best process, Senator Dudycz. And I'm certainly not afraid to allow the voters of Illinois to determine who their elected officials should be. This elected school board would be much more accountable than the appointed process that we have now . And it seems to me that this approach is something that's been similar, and it's been working in other states. There's been a number of discussions; these daysy about the actions of the -- of the State's Board of Education, uith respect to some of the policies that they have put forth recently. And this providesg Members of the Senate, and the elected -- electorate another option, with respect to electing their members. And I would urge your support.

Well, I don't think this is any where near controversial as that last one. So, this Will be a good birthday present for youy Stanley. Senate Bill 649 is a bill that was put forth because there were some problems that was -- existed in my district, and I think some other Member's district, as well, With the Illinois Elementary School Association, Which would prohibit students from participating in school athletic programs: from competing in events outside the jurisdiction of the association. It is my understanding now that the IESA is now currently rewritin: their rules to provide for participation. And there may not be as much controversy with this legislation as -- as I had thought. So, in lieu of that fact, I Would like to move the bill on over to the House. And if, in fact, they adopt their rules Which would be, in fact, similar to rules adopted by the Illinois High School Association, then there would be no need for this legislation I am told.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates that hedll yield.
Senator, I think that we are a11 interested in fine tuning, if thatîs What it takes, any of the Chicago School Reform Legislakion' of last year. On the other hand, I am sure you would agree, we want to be careful that we don't undo, along the way, what we spent so much time doing last year. May I get a statement from you on what youfre tntentions are, should these bills come back in some form that would take us backwards instead of forwards.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Berman.
Thank you for the question. I think that my kntentions are identical With yours. I do not Wish to undermine, one iota: the intent of that reform package. The purpose of keeping these alive is, essentially, to allow the interim board to come on board - see if they have any recommendations that we ouqht to respond to between noW and July 1st. If there isndt, probably nothing ought to be done, outside of addressing the idemnification bill which is still over in the House.

And that the question regarding the funding of some of the requirements for mandates, that we built into that bill, are allowed to be taken into consideration, in relation to their funding, bue nok to undermine the -- the structural changes that We had in Senate B1ll 1840.

So this bill requires, upon a three-fifths vote, that the -- membershlp of that council eould expandp but it still be in the ratio of sixw two and two. Be glad to respond to any queskions.

There are some areas where there is enormous parent interest, and they really would like an an opportunity to get more of those parents involved.

193 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 1 Senator, sometimes what happens on the suspended license cases is that there will be a lifting of a suspension, or the time period will run out, but there's no notification khat a suspension is -- is lifted. In this particular case, I don't -- I don't quarrel with the bill: but I Wonder What happens in a situation Where tbereds a suspensiony the person goes in - pays the fine, for some reason there's a delay in the paperwork: and that person, having paid the fine, is thereafter picked up for drivin: on a suspended license. Is ie the intent of this bill, or the reading of it, that that person would be guilty of the offensee even after paykng the fine? PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Dunn. SENATOR T.

And I ask - solicit your support. Be glad to answer any questions you might have. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLANDt Thank you, Mr. Fresident, Members of the Senate. I -- I'm concerned , Senator Kelly, about what we are doing here. I was the Senate sponsor of the three measures that we have in place now to encourage school distrlcts to consolidate. Those are all tied to - - something substantial as a result -- as it effects the consolidation effort. This does -- this really does nothing but - - but bump -- but bump the salaries in that -- ln that new district with State money. And I'm concerned, first of all, about what happens at the end of the period. Where are we after the State no longer jumps in there and subsidizes those salaries of khat new district? You know, what happens there? Secondly, I think when we're talking about consolidation, especially in a lot of these smaller districts, there is greater efficiency - greater utilization of -- of teachers, and the like. And -- and this almost negates the effect of that by saying the salarîes are going to go higher, subsidized by the State: and ignores the fact that the -- that the district now because it has consolidate -- consolidated is a more efficient district. My question once again ' is, sir, what do we do with those - how do we deal with that issue after the -- afEer the money's gone? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kelly. SENATOR KELLY: Well, for one thlng, lt - if the schools consolidate, you and I know that - it - there is going to be a cost saving, and a lot of schools that are on this watch list, I think would come off, if 208 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 they had a consolidation. And in the lon: run, I think the State would be better served by the consolidation, and even though there's a eight thousand dollar incentive per teacher, it would, in effect, save the State more money in the long run.
PRESIDING OEFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Maitland.
Well, that -- thatîs fine, Senator, but that didn't answer the question. My point is, we are subsidizinq those salaries to the tune of eight thousand dollars, is that not a true skatement?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kelly.
Eight eight thousand dollars over a three year period, yes.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Maitland.
Then what, al1 of a sudden, happens when -- when that three year period is gonez and -- and the money that subsidized those salaries is qoneg as well? What's goin: to - whatp all of sudden, happens that's going to allow the school districts then the wherewithal to pay the salaries?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kelly.
I'm sorry, would you please repeat that question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Wait a minute. Let's get a little... Senator Maitland, Would you Please repeat the question?
Well, Senator: I don't have to. I -- I know the answer, and you know the answer.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. As a reactton to some of the serious school incidents re:arding harm, and in some cases death to students, and peraonnel on school . grounds. There's been a concern expressed by a number of schools in the State that they be allowed to use their life safety taxing and bonding authorities for school seeurity purposes. The State Board of EducaEion issued a ruling that they could not do so . What this bill does is allow school districts to utilize their Life Safety Tax levye which is up Eo five cents Without referendum, and up to ten cents with referendum , to alter or reconstruct any school building, or to purchase and install security equipment under certain conditions. Again, the bill in I no way changes anything in the 1aw regardinq the referendum l I provisions that are already in place. A1l it does is add to the ! I list of how that tax might be used - security.

ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. HAKRY) Senate Bill 692. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill. FRESIDING OFFIPERI (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Severns.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 692 provides a credit for qualified researeh and development expenses, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. It does follow in line with the Pederal k and D credit. What is important is that credit, at the federal level, is expiring on December 31st of this year. I think investmene in research and development - not only has ie declined from three percent of our GNP to two pereent in our GNP in this last decade, but it really is the lacking inqrediene, or the weak link, in trying to address the challenges of our economy. And at least - the information that I Was provided last week - not only does our largest employer Caterpillar, but Staley, John Deere, Abbott: Fermi and ADM amonq others, support this legtslation. 1'11 be happy to answer any questions, and would urge your favorable support. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) j I 2l4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENZRAL ASSEMBLX REGPLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 A11 right. Diseussion? Senator Rigney. SENATOR RIGNEY: Well Mr. Presidentr I think in all fairness, we ought to point out that this is a neW proqram - one we've never had before. The subject here is so-ealled qualified researah expenses. My handlers tell me that the definition of research is rather broad in nature, and a lot of things might apply here that we have never even thought about. A few other things in here - we're establishing also *he carryback principle far three years and a carryforward for fifkeen years. We don't do that, to my knowledgez anywhere else in our Tax Code. I realize that it's very difficult to vote against various Tax Credit Bills. And yet, on a cumulated nature, we, collectively, have introduced over three hundred million dollars of various tax give-aways, tax credits and so forth. This is just one of many. We don't know what we're going to have, as far as revenue is concerned. A little difficult to talk about the subject of revenue, when you're talkin: in a vaguum. We don't know Whether we're goinq to have a new tax package: if we do, We don't know Whether we 're goinq to get any of itp or Whether welre going to give all of it away. I think it goes Without saying We're going to gtve more to our schools, and some other social services around the State of Illinois. And for th' is reason, I think we ought to go a little slow on bills of this kind. Maybe not any Worse than a dozen or so others that are pending here at the present time, but ie's the sort of legislation, ae least I feel at this timep I'm not goinq to be able to support. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Neksch. SENATOR NETSCH : Thank you, Mr. President. It may come as a surprise to some of my colleagues to -- make it known that it was with my ' ! 215 k STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY l REGULAR SESSION 1 SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 suggestion ehat this bill Was allowed out of committee. And I would like to explain why. I think of it, really, as an alternative to the investment tax credit. I have not been the greatest fan of an investment tax credit. And I think the reeent figures would show that it is rather modestly used, in terms of the numbers of employers, perhaps is some justification for that posàtion. 0ne of the things that, clearly, this country has 1et itself fall behind With respect to, is research and development. And while the definition may be somewhat over broad in this casee at least it is -- it is aimed at research and development. And ik occurred eo me that the Legislature, partly because we were not having adequate hearings in committee, Senator Rigney, since you Weren't there to ralse these questions, it seemed to me that -- it seemed to me that what we ought to have really is at least an opportunity for the Legislature to look at a research and development eredit as a possible alternate to the Investment Tax Credit. Now 1'm fully aWare of the fact that what you are likely to do is to end up passing them b0th, without making any choice. And I candt, obviously, stop that from happening: but I think it is an alternative. I thlnk it does make, in my judgment, probably greater sense than the Investment Tax Credit. And ik is for that reason that I think it is on the Calendar, and ought to be looked at seriously.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. For whatever that's worth . Further discussion? Senator Luft. SENATOR LUETI Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in extremely skrong support of Senate Bill 692, and I'd like to give you some reasons why. Flrst and foremost, and I agree With Senator Netsch: that this is probably more important than the Investment Tax Credit that We have passed, which by the way, was my bill that did pass the 2l6 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 Senate. And Senator Rigney, who has a similar bill, that I believe has a price ta: on it of betkeen fourteen and sixteen million dollars. A few years a9o we were wise enougbp in the Senate, to initiate a million doltar spin-off of the Exxon money to invest in research usin: ethanol and carbon monoxide to desulfurize coal. Now if that research is successful, we will wind up being able to use Illinois coal, satisfying the acid rain problem that the so high sulfer eoal is causing. Use double the output of ethanol, and consequently the corn in the State of Illinois, and create sonewhere up around fifteen hundred jobs. Secondly, in the city that Senator Hawkinson and T represent, in the Clty of Peoria, the Northern Illinois Research Lab has set up, in conjunction with other people in our area, a consortium for the invesement and research and development of products, one of which was developed - uslng corn base to create plastics. There is nothing more important than the -- to the future than research and development. And I would strongly suggest that we pass this bill out of the Senate, give Senator Severns the -- the wherewithal to proeeed with negotiations with the administration: andr hopefully, come to a conclusion. And, by the way, if you will remember, the Governor himself, I think, initiated, or is attempting to inltiate -- initiate, a twenty million dollar appropriation for research and development. So that should be some indication to those of us in the Legislaturez the importance of research and development. And I Would seriously hope that we support Senator Severns' bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMPZIO) Further discussion? Senator Severns, may close. I I SENATOR SEVERNS: I I Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Without I I belaboring the point, I Would like to just address a couple of I I concerns raised by Senator Rigney. Pirst: the definition of -- I I qualified research is taken exactly from the federal language as I 1 i 2l? STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I ! 34th Leqislative Day May 23r 1989 I I ' it is written. j So I don'tthinkit'sacasual-itWasnota casual approach, or a approach Without thou:ht. We used the 1 j federal definition. And finally, I think Webve taken a responsible approach on -- on this R and D Tax Credit. I've put -- I've entered into this bill sunset legislation; Where in five years this credit will expire. If ik deserves to be approved again, I'm sure it kill be, but it does have sunset leqislation Worked in to it. I don't think therefs a one of us Who has a company in our distrkct who Wouldn't say, in research and development lies many of the answers to our economic challenges. And for ehat reason, and more, I Would urge your support.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIQ) Senator Schuneman.
Welly I noticed that there are two college districts that are a part of my Senate district, on of them is the one is which you live, Blackhawk College, and I know that voters there have -- have rejected referendums, I think twice in recent years. I'm not sure about Carl Gandburg, but as I understand what youbre doing herey those college districts would be able to raise local property taxes to some Statewide average, unless enough of the voters called for a referendum. Is that, in essence of what youdre doing here?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Correct. And it's my understanding that's ten percent, Senator. Ten percent of the voters in that district. And 1et me add one thing, that -- just to correct the record, Blackhawk College. did, in facty pass a -- a tax referendum, but by the time 223 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 the tax come into effect with the erosion of the tax base, that increase became a six percent net loss.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator DeAnqelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. Tbere are only a feW occasions in which citizens can express their outrage at a tax increasee and that is in the school referendum and the community college referendum. Both of those generally have Mreat difficulty in passing. However, the community colleqe referendum is even more difficult, because there are far less students from a district that qo to school in those communiky colleges. Normally, the levy for the community college is exkremely smalls but the fact is that it is a tax, and they are asking for a tax increase. Therefore, the people qenerally vote No. South Suburban Collegey Which is listed on this, hadz for many yearsr the lowest tax rate in the State of Illinois. And what this basically does, and With some commitment on the part of the General Assembly to force a tax, is to try to bring up some of these districts to where the amount of money per a study period or study hour is close to what it is across the State. I'm not real pleased With -- With this kind of tactic, but I don't see any alternative, particularly in the fact khat the community eolleges have been the backbone recently of educating the people in our communities to do skilled Work and other types of educational proqrams that are not available in colleges.

Mr. Mayory welcome to Springfield. Senator Berman. 699. 700. 701, was on the Recall, Senator Smith. 702. Senator Smith. 03. 04. 05. Bottom of Page 3l. On the Order of Senate Bills 3rd Reading is Senate Bill 705, Madam Secretary. Read the bill, please.
Senate Bill 705. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Smith.
Thank you, Mr. president, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 705 is a health provide care. It includes -- including physicians that they shall furnish HIV testing during the course of prenatal services. The AIDS Confidentiality Aet covers the testing. Senate Bill 705, which is modeled after current laws, in Rhode Island and other states, attempts to prevent the spread of AIDS in newborns and ehildren. Those of 229 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGDLAR SESSION EENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23s 1989 you, if you listened to televksion documentation, lt was at in April 23, saw about the tiniest babies, and gave the information that some children acquire the AIDS infection from a blood transfusion. But most children acquire the HIV infection while still in the mother's Womb. The children's mothers were members of high risk groups, who carried the virus, which was transmitted to the newborn child during her pregnancy, or at birth. Most women discover that they are carriers of HIV viruses after the child develops the disease. And frequently, carriers do not have symptoms of the disease. Though blacks composed only twelve percent, and Hlspanics seven percenk of the U.S. populationy studies show that seventy-three percent of women in nine -- 79.9 percent of children with AIDS are black, or Hispanic. Nearly a11 the mothers use drugs, or were the sex partners of drug addicts. As of February 1989, thirty-three cases of children With AIDS had been reported in Illinois. However: this figure is climbinq. These children are frequently abandoned in hospitals, and are commonly known as boarder babies. Child victims of AIDS are often under the jurisdiction of the Department of Children and Family Services; and they are hard to place in foster care. And for that particular reason, the Department of Children and Family Services has a pamphlet out, Where theydre soliciting people who Would volunteer to help them. There is no fiscal note on this, and the Department of Hea1th is in the accord with this bill. And ask for your favor <sic> vote. If you have any questions, Idd be deligbted to answer.
Is there any discussion? Senator Topinka.
If I may ask two questions to the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he wi11 yield. 230 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
First of all, are psychologists allowed to do this testing?
Senator Smith.
No, darling.
Senator Topinka.
Have you amended psychologists out of the bill in some capacity. Because the bill originally required psychologlsts to offer that tese. And it was my understanding that they dre not allowed to do sueh testing? Are they amended out?
Senator Smith.
I'm sorry, but it Was never in the bill.
Senator Topinka.
Thatls What my analysis says, and it makes quàte a point of So, I mean, I just bring that to your attention, because if it's still there, you might want to maybe, assuming this gets out of here, that maybe that be looked at in the -- in the House. Seeond thing is, where is the Illinois State Medical Society on this bill?
Senator Smith.
The Illinois Medical Society -- Medical Society have not taken any position, whatsoever. And neither have they contacted me during the entire time I've had this bill entered. 23l STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
Further discussion. Senator Davidson.
Question of the sponsor.
Indicates she Will yield. Senator Davidson.
If youdre qoins to mandate this testing, does the State Mandate 's Aet kick in, and does the State have to pick up the cost of this AIDS virus test that's going to be mandated? PRESIDENT ROCK: r Senator Smith.
No, Senator Davidson. It is not mandated. It is volunteering, so much so that the Department of Children and Family Services are asking people if they Would volunkeer for - if 1 might read this to you. The Department of Children and Family Services is lookinq for special-care-experienced foster parents, who enjoy caring for babies: interested in developing special skills, working as part of a professional team, for special children who are positive for the AIDS virus. Ages birth to three years of age. Health ranging from no apparent symptoms to symptoms - AIDS. Special training would be provided on universal infection eontrol, facts about AIDS virus, transmission of the course, disease, et cetera. And - so, the tesks - all of this is volunteer.
Senator Davidson.
Well - says here that test is required by every physician, nurse, psychologists, hospital, or other health care facility who 's offering testing for HIV to anyone receiving prenatal or 232 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 family planning servicee unless it's deemed inappropriate. You 're mandating demanding that any person Who takes care of a lady, who is eitber in prenatal care, family planning, that this test must be done unless they deem it inappropriate. So you're laying the person wide open if they don't demand i*, the person ls going to sue under the Malpractice Insurance to that person that's saying, ''Wel1 you didn't demand it, and I had itwf' Now that's a 1ot of baloney. Now, we either mandate it, and the bill says they ''will'' offer this test. I think this is awfully wronq if youdre trying to accomplish something to help people in prenatal eare. This isn't the way to do it. I don't think this is a very good idea, because youlre demanding that we Who are in the health care fieldz and thank goodness I don't take care of pregnant women: but a1l the people who do: thae they have to offer the test. And they deem it inappropriate not to offer the test, and if the person comes up With it, then theydre liable for a nalpractice suie that won't stop. This is not a good idea.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Hudson.
Well. I reluctantly, Senator, I -- I think, find myself in a position where I don't feel I can support thise considering other bills that are pending that relate to this situation. Because if the mother is found, and is judged to be, disabled and therefore, entitled to the services of this state, that's -- that's another question. We're getting into another area entirely, its seems to me, and with other implications. And alsoy I'm wondering if she is found to be a disabled person/ if then, perhaps, an abortion wouldn 't be the easiest way out for that mother. I don't know Whether thae would be reeommended or not, but it certainly is a possibility. I just have some serious questions about the down the road implications of your bill, Margaret, and I'm sorry about it.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Raica.
Thank you, Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Can I ask the sponsor a question, please?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) She indicates she will yield.
Senator Smith, in -- in the way that the bill is -- is written, ie seakes here that it will provide for testing of the HIV to anyone who is receiving prenatal, or family planning services. Could -- could this mean -- or if -- if the women who is is pregnant is -- is is found to have AIDS, what Would be the position then are We -- this just seems like it's openin: khe gates to -- to -- to abortion, quite frankly. And I don't know - - if that's the way that -- that We should go in this particular 235 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23z 1989 piece of proposed legislation.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senaeor Smith.
Thank you. Senator Raica: to answer your question. Family planning has been removed from the bill. We had an amendmene, if youlll notice on your legislatlon. It has been removed. So, what We are trying to do, we are trying to help little babies. Wedre trying to save, We're tryinq to prevent. That's What we are trying to do. Not complications. We are trying to prevent these babies, and -- with their parents, from coming into the world bringing AIDS and al1 of these different viruses that wedre being plagued with today. That's khat we are trying to do.
PRESIDING OFPICZR: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Raica.
Senator Smith -- Madam President, the key Word there was prevent. If Wefre sayinq prevent before the child is conceived, then thak would be as far I'n concerned, prevention. But when you use the Word prevent after the child is conceived, I think wefre looking at abortion in that particular state, and for that particular reason I'm asking everyone to vote No.

No, no you had -- family planning taken out. I've -- Ifve got the amendment. Did you put another amendment ony saying - takin: out health care facility? Because I've got the only anendment that you put on. And a1l you deleted is ''or family planning.''

Thank you. Senator Fawell, I just stated to Senator Davidson that wedre going to take that out of the leqislation in the House. And there will be other changes made.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I'm reading ehis leglslation the Same as my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Senakor Smith had indicated that she Wants to prevent children from coming into this world with AIDS. Well, the only Way you can prevent them, is to abort them. Unfortunately, when a child is infected, and I am glad you're using the term children or child for an unborn person, because ehae's exactly What we're talking about before a baby is born. They are a child. I 237 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 And it seems to me that this, in fact, would increase the incident of abortion, and that there's just - we should take care ot if we find out a child had AIDS, we should -- provide some programsy some help àor the family and for that child. But there is no Way in the world you can prevent a child from coming into the world unless you abort them. And I oppose this measure.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Purther discussion? Senator Topinka. SENATOR TOPINKA; President. There we go. Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, Iz pardon me for speaking a second time, but I do have the legislation now, and when we spoke earlier you did mention ''psychologists'' was not in the bill, it is on line 62 of the seeond page. Apparentlyy it has not been amended out. Psychologists are not allowed, by law, to do any kind of lnvasive work here that includes blood test. I would recommend, you know, that you might want to put this on the Recall Llst, and attempt to clean this bill up. Because any other way, think, you knowe it's going to have some difficulty.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Smith.
May I take this out of the -- reeord, because this is not a -- an abortion bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Smith. ...tMachine cutoffl... Senator Smith.
Thank you, Madam President. Currentlyy women comprised of 4.3 percent, which is nine hundred and two, of the State 's adult inmate population. Eighty-eight percent are housed at Dwight and 239 STATE op ILLINOIS t 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Logan - or Logan. And the remaining hundred and five are in the -- Houston Settlement in Chicaqo. Peoria women are -- are -- are located at the institution there -- Crossroads in Chicago, Community Correction Proqram, that's where these people are housed. The Department of Corrections estimates that the State adult female offender population will reach crisis level by 1990, due to high numbers of women involved in crimes, especially drug related crime. Under the current situationy these inmates would have to be absorbed by Dwightp kith a capacity of four hundred and ninety six, and a seventy-two bed temale unit at Logan. Since 1985 Dwight's population has grown by twenty-seven percent. A 1aw suit is pending against the Department of Corrections, concerning overcrowding conditions at DuighE. High versus Lane in 1986, the lawsuit alleges khat the following violations of Dwight inmate's constitutional rights exists, and that is, the lack of parity between ehe educational and vocational program offered for male and female adult inmates, the qendered base pay inequities -- presented in the inmates pay scale, the co-minglinq and minimum security women ihmates and those of medium and maximum security status, and the transfer of women inmates near released to county jails where they are denied educational, vocational, and work opportunities. Neighboring states, such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Kentucky have lawsuits -- lost -- lawsuits similar to High and Lane have, and been forced to undertake programs unification. Organizations representing Women support this bill in toto. The Departmen: of -- of Corrections shall deviBe a five-year housàng and program planning for women offenders. And all I ask, I'd like for your support in this, because it is sorely needed. The overcrowdedness of our women, in these women institutionsp which is not good.

Senate Bill 710. (Secretary reads title of bi1l) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Demuzio.
Thank you very much, Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 7l0 is a bill that would require the Electoral Board to review the actual number of signatures on nominatinq and referendum peEitlons, to determine if the requisite number is - has been met. If not, the Electoral Board shall rule such petitions to be invalid. And it will also requires the petitions to be bound in a single book. Under the current law, as you well know, the Electoral Board has no power at al1 to -- invalidate a nominatànq or referendum petition, even if they clearly lack the requisite number of -- signatures, unless an 24l STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34*h Legislative Day May 23# 1989 I objeceion is filed by a registered voter of the election I jurisdiction. It's my understanding that the State Board of I Elections has proposed rules authorizing the board to examine all nominating petitions to determine conformity with law. The rules that are being -- promulgated noW would allow the board to reject petitlons for nonconformity, subject to an appeal before the Electoral Board. And since these rules qo beyond ehe scope of. excuse me, Senate Bi1l 710, it indicates that the board actually is moving in -- in this directlon. So, all it would do would be to afford them the opportunity to - require them to -- to look ak the requisite number of signatures, and determine whether or not the requisite number of signatures has been bet on nominating or referendum petitions; and I Would ask your support.

Senate Bill 719. (Secreeary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Madam President. Senate Bill 7l9 is the Computer Software Tax, although it really is not accurate to call it a tax. What we are doin: is fillinq a gap in the definition of what is covered by our existing Sales Tax Law. Due to a court decision of several years agoy 1981 to be exactz the Illinois Supreme Court had held ehat under the laws that then existedg computer software as represented in that lawsuit, was intangible, rather than tangible personal property, and therefore, was not subject to our - - actually to the Use Tax, which Was the pariicular Statute involved in that case. think that that Was probably not a 243 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23. 1989 tokally realàstàc decision then, although perhaps fairer then. Since then: think it has made no sense at all. As we have become more accustomed to a11 of the forms of computer software. At this point in time, Illinois is the only state with a State Sales Tax which does not cover computer software. So that We are not, in any way, putting ourselves in a noncompetitive positlon with other statesy if We plug this loophole. I Would also point ouk that the Departnent of Revenue is supporting Senate Bi11 719, and indeed, testified in favor of it at the tlme of the Revenue Committee hearing. I would be happy to answer any questions. If not, I would strongly urge your support. I Ehink it might not have passed your notice, that virtually everyone in the Illinois General Assembly, both houses, Who is proposing a slightly neW program, is looking to the plugging of this loophole, that is the Computer Software Taxe to fund that program. So, that if any of you are interested in downstate eivic centers, or affordable housing, or any one of a half dozen other proqrams, you will be hoping that we have a computer software, so that you have a source of new funding for those programs. Again, I Would be happy to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
I think that's precisely the point, Madam President. I don 't have any difficulty, either, in voting for a Computer Software Tax, as lon: as I know that ît's goïng to wastewater treatment projects in Illinois. And I think that until sueh time as we, you know, make that decision, it seems to me that perhaps we ought to -- perhaps we ought to keep this bill right on the Calendar, until sueh time as we nake that decision, because I'm not prepared this morning, or this afternoon, or whatever it is now' to vote today' not knowing precisely where this twenty-four million dollars of 244 STATE OF ILLINOTS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 additional neW revenue, thatls to be generated, is going to go. And I'm not too sure, but I donlt have my crystal ball: but look over there, and I see Jack Schaffer, and I don't think that he 's too excited about the Computer SoftWare Tax being just out there driftinq by its lonesome, until we attach it to something.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Rigney.
A question of the sponsor?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) She indicates she will yield. Senator Netsch. Senator Netsch, a question for you, please.
Do you also have this on Senate Bill 392?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Netseh.
I'm oh, that is the IRAPP bill. IIm not the principal sponsor of that bill, thatls why I had to -- to Would - paused a moment. Yes, I believe the last time I heard, it was on that bill, and I think it is also floating on maybe several other bills, including some that are still over ïn the House. And I would to further answer your queseion, might, Senator Rigney, I think ke really have reached a point where there is no nassive opposition to the idea of pluggin: this gap in the sales tax. That is, providing for a Computer Software Tax. I ehink the question of where is going to end up, is still at least subject to negotiation. And there certainly are several programs, kncluding the wastewater Which Senator Demuzio mentioned, the downstate civic eenters, IRAPP, and others that are looking to My feeling is that in order to make sure that everything doesn 't qet lost, because of that competitiveness among the several 245 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Leqislative Day May 23, 1989 proposed uses at the moment, that We make sure that there is at least one clean computer software moving through. And then it will either be attached to a particular program - dedicated to it, or everyone will sit down and divide up the pie on June 30th. But that's the reason Why I thlnk this is important. The specific answer to your question is yes, I believe that is still on 392.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Madam Chairman. couldn't agree more With Senator Netsch. We should get a clean bill out. This bill has been - these monies have been dedicated to about three or four different locations. We fll have the opportunity to vote each one up or down. So, think that this bill should be taken through clean as is.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Schaffer.
Well, unlike my colleague from Carlinville, I have total faith in Senator Netsch. And -- I'm sure this bill passes that those are the same processes that Would probably go through, to decide where that revenue goes, wtll still be underway, and I see no reason frankly, I can't think of anyone I have more confidence to serve as the sponsor for this bill, which could quickly become the sponsor of the bill for every major tax increase this Session. And I do agree Ehough, Ehak Ehe bl1l should go ouE in a clean fashion, and Ilm sure in the final hours of the General Assembly a decision will be made. Itds, I think, one revenue enhancer, if you will, that I think most of us can agree on: and my guess as to exaetly ho* the revenue is spent, will be hammered out, and we'll a1l have a chance to vote on that a little later.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Eenaeor O'Daniel.
Thank youy Madam President. Senate Bill 724 prohibits the Department of Transportation from requiring the erection of an advertising sign within a specified period following issuance of a permit. It also prohibits the Department of Transportation from adopting a rule requiring a permittee to bear the cost of 248 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23w 1989 recording a hearing held following the issuance of the Department of Transportation Notice to intend to revoke a permit. This is a JCAR bill, and the -- the JCAR feels that really the Department of Transportakion doesnît have the -- statutory authority to impose these requirements. And I would attempt to answer any questionsz if not, I move for the passage.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Any discussion?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.
I'm -- I'm trying to figure out, you know, What ehis bill does. It it frankly, it doesn't sound like it's a very good bill to me. What you're actually going to end up doing is limiting any competltion you've got from -- from a smaller company. I mean, the big companies already have got their siqns uP .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Senator O 'Daniel. Is a that question, Senator Fawell? Senator O 'Daniel.
I think that's probably a statement, but I think that's a over reaction from the Department of -- of -- of Transportation. They say, you know, that actually a permit costs five dollars, but that's just for the permit: but also they have to buy the right from the landowner and things of this nature. And really *he department# JCAR doesnlt think to have the sEatutory au*horiEy to do this, and if they want to do this, then there needs to be legislation to give them authority to do these things.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Watson.
249 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Thank you, Madam President. I like to answer the sponsor a question.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates that he will yield.
Senator: the proverbial question is who wants this bill?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator OlDaniel.
Senator Watson, for sure Senator Jones does, he's Co-chairman of JCAR. JCAR gave me this bill, and they felt -- as I say, they felt that the Department of -- Transportation didn't really have the authority to -- to -- to request - require these -- these requirements. And if they want to do this, then there needs to be leqislation to give them that authority. They don't have the authority JCAR feels to implement these kind of rules.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Watson.
Thank you. Well, 1111 have to follow along with What Senator Fawell was talking about. Tt just -- it seems as though whak welre doing here is right now, the provision is that if a sign company comes in# they lease the area and :et the permit, that they have a hundred and eiqhty days in which to erect that sign. Thatds the way it is right now. Whak youfre saying is that this isn'k wedre taking out that provi:ion and no longer requiring the sign to be butlt within that one hundred eight day period. What it seems to me then what is happening or what could happen is that the large sign eompanies, or someone who wants to come in and lease up all this - the -- the hot spots could do so without havtng to erect a billboard or a sign Within that hundred and eighty days. That to me looks though - as though, webre 250 I STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day , May 23# 1989 limiting the competition and really maybe knocking out the little guy. Now, if I'm wrong on that, you address that, but that just seems to me What Webre doing here. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Yeah, thank you, Madam Chairman. What the legislation does is this, is prohibit the Department from issuing that time restraint. If DOT wishes to have this time restraint -- restraint: Which they do not have statutory authority to do sor a11 they would have to do is to put in necessary legislation. But JCAR, right now, they want to promulgate rules and to implement this law. If they want to write laws and so forth, maybe some of them should run for the Legislature, but they do not have statutory authority to issue such a rule. So What this bills does, is prohibit them from doing such, and if they so desire seek legislation givin: them statutory authority to aceomplish what your were talking about. u PRESIDING OFFICZR: (SENATOR COLLINS) Purther diseussion? Senator Donahue. Senator Donahue. SENATOR DONAHUE: 0h, I'm sorry, I thought you said, Senator Dunn. Sorryp sorry. Question of the sponsor or co-sponsor, whichever. ' PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates that he Will yield. SENATOR DONAHUE: Having served on JCAR and servln: on JCAR prêsen*ly, you are as -- as JCAR is sponsoring a bill thae says tha: prohibits the Department from doing somethlng they feel they have the statutory authority to do . Why is -- why is JCAR putting in this bill in this form instead of making it pro -- pro-active and be able to allow the Department to do this? PRESIDING OFFICCR) (SENATOR COLLINS) 251 q I I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 Senator O lDaniel.
Senator Donahue, my feeling is that you know as well as I What the responsibility of JCAR is. We 're suppose to monitor the different departments and see that that they do not overstep their authority, or over exert their authority that JCAR feels and and Bruce Johnson and them, that the Department of Transportation doesn 't have Ehis authority. If they want it, al they have Eo do is to introduce legislation. But I think, you know, this is our responsibility is to monitor them and see that they don't over step their authority and to carry out their responsibility, so that's where I am on this -- this legislation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Donahue.
Well, without going into great depthz welve had an ongoing discussion about this in JCAR, and I have a great deal of concern about have felt that this leqislation is not appropriate and something that is out of the jurisdiction of what JCAR is all about. I would oppose this legislation and hope that we can defeat it. This is the wrong way to go.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Hall. Senator Kenny Hall.
Thank you, Madam Chairman. President and Members of the Eenate. While serving on JCAR, *he -- the thing Ehat I always found, that al1 these departments want to do things without authorization. And Senator Jones and the others who serve on are absolutely right. Wefre the legislators, not them. They do not Want to and there consistently told, if you Want this, have a legislator introduce a bill. If you don't that, then you run for the legislature and do it. The big pint is, if you allow these 252 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86*h GENERAL ASSEMRLX REGULAR SPSSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 departmenes to come in here and take the job of legislators and say, ''Wel1, we feel we got that rightw' Welly then say, ''Why have you gat the right, show us the legislationv'' That's what this bill - that's the essential thing that I see. And I'm supporter of this. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I also am a member of JCAR. The purpose of JCAR is to serve as a oversight committee Which -- it has an oversiqht capacity over the departments and agencies of state qovernment to ensure that they - the departaents are fulfilling their statutory requirements in putting a program or a service, or something into place. They have a recommendation power. They can recommend to a department to say you are doing this wrong, or they can reeommend to a department that they do something differently, or not do something at all. They have absolutely no power to stop the department from doing What they are doing. By putting in legislation like this, they are expanding there own powerse and maybe some one should be over seeing JCAR, because by puttin: in legislation like this, there doing more than recommendinq to the Department of Transportation that they shouldn't be handling this situation in this way. They are, in fact, legislating that the Department of Transportation do something differently. And that's entireiy dkfferent thing than just being simply oversight. IIm opposed to this bill as I was before the bill that I had last week about ehe Lottery. The Lottery Was trying to put into place the suggestions and recommendatlons of JCAR, and JCAR was opposed to the legislation. Now they are coming and telling us that the Department of Transportation ls doing something that they 1 shouldn't be doing. Instead of letting the department put àn I 253 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34*h Legislative Day May 23, 1989 i I I legislation to change it iftheywish,theregoin: to do itby 1 I legislation. It seemstome that they are going a little bit 1 further than they should be under their own guidelines. I oppose this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATQR COLLINS) Senator Jonesr for the second time.
Yeah, thank you, Madam Presldent and Members of the Senate. ïou know I -- I -- 1, as Co-chair of JCAR, I am really shock at the remarks of some of my colleagues, Who si* there -- who sat there in committee and -- and reviewed these suggested legislation as relate to the JCAR proposed bills. This is nothin: new. And khe Department of Transportation was in there. We objected to the rules that they were promul:ating as relate to the siqns and -- and place and tlme restraints. Now the Department of Transportation says in other words, the heck with you, we're going to go ahead and do it irregardless of what you say.Now, this is a bi-partisan committee. And I see representatives from the Department of Transporkation lobbying against the bill. What they should do -- what they should do is join in and even be supportive or put in the necessary -- legislation to give them the statutory authority ko do what they want to do. But they donft want to do ehat. They want to do it by rule. And we objected to the rule. This is a bi-partisan bill, and I wish you, Senator Donahue and you, Senator Karpiel, who are both members of JCAR, you should have objected eo that at that time When the legislation was -- Was proposed. But to come on the Senate FLoor and listen to what the department is telling you to do because they want to Write laws themselves, I don't think that's in the best interest of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, and I -- I support the Gentleman's motion for a -- for a Yes vote on Senate Bill 724.

Senator O'Daniel, looks like everybody that's Speaking on this bill is a member of JCAR, and we are somewhat divided on that. But a question a prohibition of the erecting a sign Within a specific time limit, can you tell me how this - hoW the Federal guidelines are impacted if this bill were to pass, because at a briefing in District 5 Headquarter's in Paris wiehin the past month they did have the neW guidelines, the federal guidelines down, brief us on the sign loeation rules that *he Federal Government has come down with?

I -- I'm not sure just - in fact, I don't know exactly what the Federal requirements are, but I'm sure they're similar to -- to whae we have here in the State. The thing that IIm sayin: is that - and I didnêt dream up this bill, and I'm about ready to rest my case. JCAR gave me this billz and the thlng that webre suppoBe to be doing: if we're going to serve on JCAR, is ko see that they don't over step their authority, and I think if they Wanted - Want to change this, and all they :ot to do is -- ls submit some legislation.

In that briefinq bill, actually that time frame of location of the sign -- did - was part of the rules that cane down from -- from the Federal Government that IDOT had to adopt: and that's what I don't understand. If -- if this bill prohibits the adoption of Ehat time frame, it looks to me like it's in direct conflict with what the Federal Government is tellin: us to do. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator OfDaniel. SENATOR O'DANIEL: Senator Woodyard, I'm sure if this was a conflict witb the Federal Government, JCAR wouldn't be recommending the legislation.

Thank you very much. I hope al1 of the - my colleagues are listening to this bill. I've gotten a couple of letters so far from my munieipalities asking me to vote against this bill. The reason is that they, unlike some of the larger municipalities, do not have continual classes. And soe if this bill is passed, it could -- be conceivable that a person Would only be on probation for one or two months because of the way the classes are structured. I would ask you, please to look at this bill. The Munickpal League ks against it. So is the Pire Protection District Association and the Fire Chiefs Association.

SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, just an add on to what Senator Keats had - first of all, every person sitting that Chair has a different rhythm. And then we change Secretaries, and they have a different rhythm. What I would suggest, as I suggested the other day: is count to one thousand, and then hit the button that closes off the vote.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Hospitals around this State have had a unique problem in dealin: with the area known as Specialty Care. This ls a type of care that is-burn-type units, transplants, inpatient psychiatric, trauma units, things of that nature. And what has happened, apparently, is because of the inequities of the ICARE Programy there's not been enough recognized days of service paid for, to these hospitals, for care actually provided. This bill would provide that there must be a pre-admission procedure for Specialty 269 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Care. There must be concurrent review of the Specialty Care , meaning that they have to be monitoring the services performed, and making iure theydre valid while, in fact, the patient is in care, but also says that you cannot limit a hospital's Specialty Care days. As we know, through the bidding procedure, hospitals get a specifie number of days. When they get one of ehese Specialty Care cases, it becomes impossible for them to fall within that type of categorization, because you don 't know hoW long a Burn Unit person is going to have to stay, or a trauma case. So what this says is - with prior approval of the State, that these people Will be receiving this type of care. They cannot be limited in the days it takes to treat these people, and must be compensated under the aqreed-to-rates. would urge a favorable roll call.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Topinka.
Oh yes, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Tbis is# I guess, one of three bills that the Illinois Hospital Association has put forward. They're a1l pending, in some capacity or another, and this is kind of the first to reach, you know, 3rd Reading. For starters, the fiscal impact on this We figure to be 52.2 million dollars annually. I don't know if the State has the money. So# if you haven't contemplated income tax, you might want to start contemplating, should this pass. Now, I Ehink tbe ICARE Programy for good or for ill, and it has had an upswing and a down-swing, and, you know : it's worked, and it has not worked. But, by and large, it has tried to save money for the State of Illinois. If these kind of bills pass, Wefre going to start the dismantling of that program, and We're not going to have anybody kind of watching the store to see hoW reimbursemenks are made. 1 think I'm concerned, especially personally: about 270 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Eundïng Eor a new category of Specialty Care, which is a Level Trauma Center. And I think the problem With that is - is that we want to fund those that are existence in some capacity, whether they need to be in existence or not, rather than where the service should be provided, and I think that's kind of where we should be lookinq, in qeneral. I think the bill has a 1ot of questions that are involved here, and I'm hopeful that other people Will ask, so that, possibly, Senator Carroll can clarify some of the various concepts that come up, as we go through on this issue.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Further dïscussion? Senator Carroll, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of khe Senate. We do recognize that there will be a cost, although the Department of Public Aid suggestions appear to be very high. And in addition, while Senator Topinka accurately described that which the Department said, of course the Federal Government does reimburse approximately fifty percent of that amount. I think at issue, though, is -- that I think We have to recognize the problem that exists in Illinois today of makin: care, particularly hospital care, aecessible and affordable. 80th of those are elements of a good health care system. With sixteen hospitals having ctosed throughout Illinois in the last two years, rural Illinois as well as urban Illinois, there is truly an access to care issue. Eighteen percent of the hospital expenses are for dealing With khat is now know as Specialty Care. Eighteen percent of which a siqnificant portion qoes unpaid eoc. We have to recognize, unlike most businesses in Illinois, a hospital must treat a person who comes into their doors. If they have any federal funds in conskruction, Which they a11 have the Hildburton funds, they are required by federal 1aW to give treatment, whether or not there's going to be any form of compensation. Currently, 27l STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMRLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 without pre-admission review, the Department, sometimes as much as six months after the delivery of service, says to these health care institutions ''We are not going to pay for the person you treated in a Burn Care Unit, in a Transplant Unit, in a Trauma Unit, even though you gave the services.'' Six months after the services were renderedr the Department refuses to pay because of the number of days they contracted for. That is just inappropriate treatment of people who are ill. What this says is; come in in advance, do your preadmission screening, and do your concurrent review. Make sure the State is not getting ripped off by khe institution. But if the person must be there in this type of Specialty Care, and that is what is medically appropriated, and preappproved, and concurrently screened then pay for it instead of requiring hospitals to go under, or insurance rates to increase. I would urge a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENKTOR LUPT) Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of khe Senate. This is a very interesting concept that I believe Will be very cost-effective for Illinois. It is somethin: our neighboring State of Michigan has done for about seven years now, as well as New York, and several other states, and it's known as managed care. What we find, particularly in the Public Aid sector of health care, is people come into the system because of some emergency. And there's no one central place that has a history a medical history on that particular recipient. So what you have is a -- duplication of services - of x-rays - of blood tests - of prescriptions counter prescriptions given; meaninq one doctor gives you a prescription, another doctor not knowing that you were being cared for gives you something else that counter-balances the first. And what We have found, in monitoring other states, is a managed care system that you and I use, meaning a general practitioner who is there to observe your general condition. And any time you enter the system, that person is notified and monitors the care you are to get; and the Specialty Care you may have Eo need indicates that. Overall, we will find less tests given, and thereby save money. And overall, better medical care qiven, less medàcations given, and an ultimate savings in money. I do know that the department has indicated about a million dollar cost. Although that seems illogical from a11 those Who have viewed it, because the states that have, in fact, imposed it have incurred siqnificant savings by managing the delivery of health 273 i STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23z 1989 care. This proposes a test, one in rural Illinois, and one in urban Illinois, for Medicaid patients, and see hoW that test works. If it Works, let's implement it, and if it doesndt, let's junk it. But if our sister states prove anything, I believe they will prove that this works to give more effective health care, and least expensive health care. And I Would urge a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. As Senator Carroll noted, this does co>t a million dollars, and I am going to bite my 1ip and, personally, I'm going to vote for it, but I think - I've - 'cause I do think itîs a good idea in the long run. You doe apparentlye have a -- an end on this, I mean it's not qoin: to go on forever. So, it does kind of investiqate What's going on, and may have a real positive-type of result here, but that million dollars does bother me. I just put it out there for everybody to know it costs some money.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Keats.
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) He indicates hedll yield.
Senator Carrolle as I read my analysis - I don't have a copy of the bill. This says basically, this test proqram, which does seem to be a decent idea, is limited, basically, to hospital facilities. Now, if there's one thin: we 've discovered in cost-efficient health care, we're moving away from hospitals, We 're moving to outpatient care. The only outpatient care I see is that controlled by hospitals. 274 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATZ TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislatkve Day May 23, 1989

I know of no objection Would ask for...
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Question? Any discussion? Senator Keats.
Again, maybe just that we don't have all the information available I'm reading what I have. Many municipalities are so happy to get somebody to redeem what theydve gotz that they will give them special breaks and offers and et cetera. Does this take away a municipality's ability to offer special deals to get people to redeem some of this property?

The utility shall complete the refund, or apply the credit, over no more than a three month period . The courts have already overturned several illeqal rate hikes by the ICC.

Why are we -- Why are we mandating that in lav in at three months? I'm concerned about the problems that miqht create. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator de1 Valle. SENATOR dEL VALLE: Well, this is to ensure a prompt refund for the consumers. And that's the intent, clearly. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator, I -- I guess I under -- I understand that. But -- but isn 't it better for the Commerce Commission, that has al1 the facts and figures before them, to make that determination? I -- you know 1, I can appreciate What youfre doing, and I support What youdre doing. I -- I -- I just don't like to see us arbitrarily pick a time frame, three months, if you Wi11, which, you know, that - Ehat's the time frame when that money has to be paid back after the deciskon is rendered. It could create serious cash flow problems for -- for the company. I understand therefs a bill coming over from the House that has a six-month period on it. That certainly is better, but I -- I really am concerned about the Legislature mandating this time frame. Whereas the Commerce Commission, who is in a position to be able to make a realiskic proposal, perhaps ough: ko conEinue to make thak decision. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Is that a question, Senator Maitland? Further discussion? Senator Karpiel. SENATOR KARPIEL: Thank you, Mr. President. Wellz I just rise in opposition to this bill also. I think, first of allz Wepre making a mistake in 282 1 1 k I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 just arbitrarily takinq away one of the powers of the Commerce Commission, and making this arbitrary decision of three months. Sometimes these utilitiesr when they do owe a great many - in a refund, it makes it very difficult for them to do it in three months when they - if they have a cash flow problem. I just think that this is something that could be argued before the Commerce Commission, and we have CUB and some these groups that can do that. For us to legislatively just put a arbitrary three-month period on it, I think is a mistake. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Purther discussions? Senator Macdonald. SENATOR MACDONALD: Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in opposition to this bill. I think that this bill certainly does fly in the face of the responsibility of the Commerce Commission itself. And for the reasons that the speakers before have objected to this bill, I too, at this stage, certainly would say that I am opposed to this bill. I Would like to ask of the sponsor, What are the nature -- What is the nature of the amendments that you plan to put on this bill? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator del Valle. SENATOR dEL VALLE: Well, Senator Macdonaldy I think that the there's still room for discussion on tbe length of the period during which the refund should be made. I -- I don't know whether that should be four months, or three months, or six months. But cerkainlv, we need to indicate clearly, the period within which these refunds need to be made.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Purther discussion? Senator Macdonald.
Yes. I think -- I tbink that the explanation given by the sponsor of this bill even -- even further clarifies a need for this particular issue to be handled by the Commerce Commission alone. I I think that they have all of the facts and the figures. And I think that -- that when We don't even know What amendments we wanted - when we Were unclear actually as to what the time frame should be that's all the more reason why We have a Commerce Commission; and it's al1 the more reason for us not to take that prerogative away from the Commerce Commàssion.

Thank you. Senator Schuneman, to be honest w1th you: I'm not sure. Apparentlyy these are vehicles that are not required to be registered in the State now.

297 l STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 I think the Insurance Industry wants it.

SENATOR SCHUNEMAN: I -- I don't even know that I'm opposed to it. I'm just curious about it. You know, wefve required uninsured motorists to be provided on every auto policy that's issued in this State for a number of yearsy and I'm curious to know what -- What We're doing here. I can think of several kinds of policies Where automobile insurance policies are issued on vehicles that normally don't go on the roads. For example, snowmobilesz all-terrain vehicles, and - but mopeds, of course, do, in fact, go on the highway and -- and the roads all the time. So, I'm not particularly opposed to your bill; I'm not quite sure What it is you're doing. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator D 'Arco.

Thank youg Mr. President. This bill is a proposal of the Illinois Hospital Association's action Access To Care Today package. What would do is appoint a task force to execute a study concerning the processin: of applications for Medicaid, submitted on behalf of applicants by hospitals. Originally, the Department of Public Aid was opposed to the bill because of the time frame. I put an amendment on there extending the reporting date to March 3l# 1990. They have now taken a neutral position on the bill. I'd be glad to try to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. If I may ask a question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) The Gentleman indicates he will yield. Senator Topinka.
The idea is not a bad one, but did you ever consider, or would you consider, possibly, like the Citizens Council on -- on Public Aid for reviewing something like this; as opposed to having the Department kind of appoint and study itself, to report back to itself, then a report to us?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
Senator, -- I'm not a great fan of creating more cikizen councils. I think we were - okay. Well, the bill itself says who's goin: to be on the committee. The appointing of the task force is going to be composed of Members of the General Assembly, the Department itself, the Hospital Association, Hospital's Welfare Rights Organizations, and the general public, as deemed 30l i I l STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SBNATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 appropriate by directorate.

SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. Presidentz Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senator Friedland, you're one of my favorite people over there. I've got -- I've got a couple of concerns though. Number one, if my memory serves me right, during the John Deere strike there was a ruling that come down from the court, which said that the members were not eligible for -- for assistance. So , we do have court cases which point this out. And I just think it's a little bit unfair to -- to -- to rub it in the faces of some of these people, especially in light of the fact that our recent strike here in the Senate, there were people who got paid.

Senate Bill 815 would require that school treasurers, in the future, be Certified Public Accountants or Certified School Business Officials. This leqislation, basically, upgrades the qualification of future appointed school treasurers. This legislation is somewhat of a compromise, because We've had an ongoing battle on the school treasurers up in our suburban area. It only affects Cook County. There 's twenty-five school treasurers. For the last several years, there's been an effort to terminate school treasurers. That legislation has failed. This is a compromise.

Senate Bill 822, and the following bill, were b0th included in the recommendations of the Supreme Court to the General Assembly every Session for legislative changes. This one deals with the procedures for appellate review of a variety of administrative decisions. And results, actually, from a -- an appellate court decision involving the Publie Utilities Act, in Which an appellate court found certain procedural provisions. EhaE deal with direct review, to be in conflict with Rule 335 of the Supreme Court, and therefore, unconstitutional. What *he court recommended to us was thae we conform a variety of Acts and their procedures. Not the fact of direct appellate review, but the procedures to Rule 335. That is precisely what Senate Bill 8-2-2 does. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 306 k STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23: 1989 : i j I Discussion? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Could we have an explanation of what Rule 335 is: please? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: I do not have the text of it with me at the moment, unfortunately. But, What it has to do With is hoW you go about perfecting appeals to the Appellate Courts. And it - what the court was recommending was that it replace a few provisions, particularly in the Public Utilities Act, in which we had spelled in -- excruciatinq detail, hoW such direct review should be accomplished. You know, when you file, hoW yau fkle: and so forth. And the court, generally by rule, determines the methods by which such appeals are to be perfected. And while I'm sorry I don't have the text to 335 that is, essentially, What it does. And it is - the - one of the provisions, as I indicatedz has already been held invalid because in conflict With that rule. And so what we've done is correct several Statutes just to say when you are perfecting appellate review, that it shall be in conformity with Rule 335. It's procedural, it has nothing to do with the substance of What happens. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Am I being unreasonable just to say, could we take this ou* of the record just long enough to find out What Rule 335 is? 'Cause this is multi-million dollar legal fees, when you're talking about the Public Utilities Act. A11 I ask is, if we could just -- I'd be glad to back to it. It's probably a fine bill, but I just - maybe we should know what Rule 335 às? Thanks. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 307 I 1 I STATE OF ILLINOIS I 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEU-KARIS: May I ask a question of the sponsor? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates she will yield. Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: My understanding is - and perhaps, please correct me, 'cause I'm not sure, if there is an appeal, for example, from one of these agencies: at the present time I mean, is the appeal to the Circuit Court, or is it automatically to the Appellate Court? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: That depends on what Statute youlre talking about. I'm not attempting to change any of that. I'm not trying to relocate where the appeal goes. For example, in the Public Utilities Act, which was the one that sponsored or that spawned this proposal from the court; we are cutting out a lot of language in this bill that talks about, the party taking appeal shall fkle With the commission written notice, and there's so many days to do A , there's so many days to do B, and so forth. And just saying that direct appellate review, under this Section, is subject to the applicable Supreme Court Rules. So, that it dealsz literally: With procedures, not with to which court the appeal may be taken. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: In -- in other words, a11 your -- all that your bill does is set up procedures if it should go to a higher court. Is that correct? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. 308 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX ' REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
I Yes. That is correct, and I have now been handed, by staff, the text of Rule 335, which covers a full page of the Illinois Revised Statutes. I Would be happy to show it to you, Senator Keats. Itîs exceedingly detailed just about how it is done.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Barkhausen.
Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates she will yield. Senator Barkhausen.
Senator Netsch, I'm sorry, I've missed some of the discussion. There was just some concern on our side of the aisle. I started out thinkin: your bill was fine, and I1m sure it probably is. But, would you mind explaining again, is there -- is there now some inconsistency between these provisions and these various Statutes that are outlined: versus what the Supreme Court rule provides? And is there anything in the Supreme Court rule: if that's what We 're going to be exclusively going byr as probably constitutionally Wedre required to - is there something that provides any -- any sort of fewer procedural safeguards than maybe were set forth, separately, in those other Statutes?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Not that I am aware of, in answer to your last'question. There are some differences in how these matters are -- how the appeal is perfected, time limits and so forth. And the problem that we have is that in one Appellate Court decision, Which Was 1 Consumers Gas versus Illinois Commerce Commission, the Appellate Court had found that some of the procedural provisions that are i 309 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION ' SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 currently in the Public Utilities Act were in conflict with Rule 335 and therefore, unconstitutional. You are quite right, when it comes to matters of procedure, about perfecting appeals. The court usually prevails over anything that we do to the contrary, at least when its dealing only With procedural matters. And the court has said, ''there are these conflicts, they ought to be clarified.'l That is the only reason for the -- the bill. I don't know that there's any dramatic difference between what is in Ehis Act and what is in Rule 335. The text of it is over there on your side of the aisle right now, being looked at by Senator Keats. If you want me to, 1'11 hold this -- take it out of the record, and give everyone a chance to take a look at it. But I -- I don't think it's a major issue. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) We -- we -- we've talked about it too long. Senator Barkhausen. SENATOR BARKHAUSEN : In -- in that particular case, do you know what the remedy for the parties was? I mean, did it -- did it result in -- in one of the parties not bein: able to perfect their appeal, because they had proceeded under the Statute, rather than pursuant to Rule 3357 PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: I'm -- I'm lookin: for my copy of the decision, which I cannot fknd, right at the moment. I believe, and I -- I really should not speculate. My recollection is that they kere not permitted to perfect the appeal. But don't pin me to the wall on that, I'd have to go back and check the decision, Which I have some place in my files.

Senate Bill 823. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. This, also, Was a recommendation in the Supreme Court's Annual Report to the General Assembly. It involves the settinq of utility rates which are charged to customers outside of a municipality by a wa*er utility owned or operated by a municipal corporation. And for - I assume historical reasons, reasons for which I do not understand, for some reason - the current 1aw provides that those rates are to be set by agreement, or by a circuit court. The Supreme Court suggested that courts are really not the best agency, initially, 3ll STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23z 1989 to determine utility rates, and that it ouqht to be done by the agency which -- which possesses the expertise in such matters, which is the Illinois Commerce Commission. And so: the bill simply does that. It says that the rates will be determined by the Illinois Commerce Commission.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Macdonald.
Yes. Senator Netsch, I'd like to ask some questions. In some of those -- the states, which have elected Commerce Commissionsz these cases go into the courts, historically. Would this impair that possibility in the event, heaven forbid, that that passes in Illinois, that we have an elected Commerce Commission, and these disputes go to court? I'm -- I'm not clear at all about what We dre doing here, and I'm not sure that I accept the premise of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Well, most rate matters are determined, initially, by the Illinois Commerce Commission, under cutrent 1aW. For a reason which, as I indicated, I do not know the history of, there is one circumstance in which it does not provide for initial determination of rates by the Commerce Commission, and I could read the whole sentenee. Basically, it requires that When, as I indieated, there are rates which involve a - charges to customers outside of a municipality by a water utility owned, or owned and operated by a municipal corporation. In the current law, those rates are determined either by agreement, or in case of dispute, they are to be fixed by the circuit court of the county. The Supreme Court suggested to us that it is more appropriate for rate determination, initially, to be done by the agency which does it 312 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 in a11 other circumstances, Which is the Illinois Commerce Commission. So, in no way would it have any effect on your initial premise, which is What if We elected a Commerce Commission. I don't think that has anythinq to do With this. This has to do just With Who Would be looking at the matter, initially.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- Senator Macdonald.
Then kt has nothing to do with disputes after the fact? It has nothing to do then with -- with subsequent disputes that might 9o to the courts?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
No. Any matter that is determined by the Commerce Commission, under its jurisdiction, is always subject, eventually, to being reviewed by a court. The only difference is that here, the matter for some reason, goes into the court firstz instead of goin: before the Commerce Commission. And so: this I think is a relatively simple matter of substituting the initial determination by the Commerce Commission, rather than a circuit eourt.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates she will yield. Senator Fawell.
I have another -- a number of municipalities Who are presently supplykng water outside their limits. And, obviously, they charge more if they supply that Water, because, frankly, they are the 3l3 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GBNERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23z 1989 ; i ones that have to put in the pipes and -- and perform the service, and What have you, sort of above and beyond what the municipal taxes call for. Now: if we take this down to the Commerce Commission, you're going to get that thing so - the Commerce Commission's got enough work as it is. And -- and believe me, there are a 1ot of municipalities in this State that are doing just exactly what I'm saying. ïoudre going to get that Commerce Commission so overloaded. If they can go to the local court and :et that dispute settled in a local court, the court at least has some idea of -- of the territory. And it just seems to me that although the Supreme Court may: in effect, say they don't want the job, I don't think we ought to dump it on the -- on the Commerce Commission either. I think youdre just going to overload them, and Wedll never 9et anything done there. It's bad enough as it is. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President. Yeah, I Would join With you Senator: as a former Mayor, and I think that - I'm surprised that Geo hasn't got up on this one. But, under no circumstance have I ever known a -- a water operation, in any municipality, to come under the ICC. I -- I think that it belongs in the courts. Very seldom are there disputes, and if there are disputes, I -- I think it should remain as is. PREgIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Rea. SENATOR REA: Thank you, Mr. President. Would the sponsor yield? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch you have successfully lit up the board. Senator -- indicates she will yield. Senator Rea. ! 3l4 ! I ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 ' SENATOR REA: Senatorz I -- I apologize to you. I Was off the Floor for some of the earlier discussion. But, in my district I have an inner city water system that supplies over fifty communities over - over fifty municipalities, and does this mean that with those municipalities that would be selling to other municipalities, or to other water districts, because they buy from the centralized system, and then many times they will sell to other municipalities or water districts, would this apply to them? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: If I understood your question, Senator Rea. First of all, you should be clear that in the existing Statute - and I'm not changing that. It is provided that this circumstance can be -- can be determined by aqreement of the parties. And from what -- Senator Jacobs and some of the others are saying, that is what usually happens. The only thing that is being changed here is where there is a dispute that is not settled by the parties, whekher it goes into a Circuit Court or to the Commerce Commission. And the point that the court was making: is that courts do not really have the kind of expertness that helps ehem to know how to determine fair returns, and al1 of the other components of a utility charge. The Commerce Commission does know that. So I -- I if there's agreement, nobody at all is involved, if there's no*, it would be the Commission rather than *he circuit court. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Rea. SENATOR REA : Yes. What about -- say that you add a new community -- a new munickpality to the already existing system, Would thks effect it 3l5 ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th LegislaEive Day May 23, 1989 any differently?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Yeah. To the best of my knowledge, it would not, unless there was, again, a disagreement about the rates to be charged. Again, where the parties reach agreement, which I gather is What happens in most cases, there is no effect at a11 from this bill. It is simply where they -- they cannot reach agreement, and somebody has to arbitrate it. And all this is suggesting is that the commission knows more about how to set rates than does a court, because thatls what it's designed for. That's all it does.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Woodyard.
Thank youz Mr. President. Would the sponsoz yield?

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
My advisor says no, it does not, and think that is correct. I'm no* aware how it could.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Presently, the Commerce Commission is not in the rate setting business with private sector water companies. And I I just Want to be sure that this would not put them in the process of a 316 i ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENBRAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 possibility of rate setting on those private sector Water companies. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH: This applies to municipally - owned utilities only. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Mr. President: and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I have an apparent conflict of interest, being a Mayor. However, I agree with Senator Jacobs. I feel that we should leave things as they are. I think in - court it's going to get the same type of evidence from both sides. It's closer to the scene of What's -- what's happening, and I thknk rather than give it to the Commerce Commission, because theyfve got plenty to do as it is, I think we should let well enough alone. And therefore, I speak against this bill. I feel the court's more qualify to do itz anyway. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Barkhausen. SENATOR BARKHAUSEN: Yes, Mr. President and Members. I rise in support of this bill. I think the recommendation makes good sense. I had a dispute that arose several years ago and mayz for all I know, be an ongoing difference of opinion between a municipally owned Water system and the unkncorporated area around it Ehat I represent. I understand that the ICC is not terribly interested in having this responsibility vested in them. But I would submit that it makes sense that those who are otherwise expert in trying to determine What utility rates ouqht to be, should also have this responsibility. Ultimately, of course, a party can appeal to the circuit court if they are not satisfied with the rate that's 3l7 STATE 0F IDLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Leqislative Day May 23# 1989 r granted by the Illinoks Commerce Commission. And that Would, 1 assume, remain the case under this legislation. I ask for your support. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Netsch may close. SENATOR NETSCH: Thank you. I didn't realize this Was such a controversial issue. I -- I think it is relatively simple. The -- it apparently arises in a relatively small number of circumstances. And all the bill suggests, is that Where there is a dispute, that cannot be resolved by the parties, involving this limited set of circumstances, that the agency which we have created to know about how to set a11 kinds of utklity ratesr including water rates, should be the one that gets the first crack at i*.

What Senate Bill 830 doese it permits - authorizes emergency firefiqhting equipment and ambulances to use to studded tires from November 15 through April 1st. If -- any questions, 1111 attempt to answer them . PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: Yes. Thank you: Mr. President. A couple of comments, and then possibly a question. This would allow for firefighting vehicles and ambulances to have studded tires between November 15th and April 1st. I realize these are energency vehiclese and maybe there's some justification for this. The Department of Transportation is opposed to it, as are the Township Officials, and the County Superintendents of Highway primarily, because of what they do to the -- to the roads. They literally tear them up, and the situations that we have now, wikb a lot of the units with local government, is ones in which they do not have the money to repair the roads. And Wedre hearing from all of our people in regard to that. So, that's -- that's an issue that should be of concern. And from What I understandz also, these type of tires are only really good in about one percent of the time. Only when there's really a hiqh degree of ice, are these effbctive. So, really the impact that they Would have Would be negligible. The - but the impack thak they have on the road conditlons and the road - the condition of the roads, themselves, could be very negative. So, I think we ought to take a hard look at this, and -- and I realize what wedre trying to do here, but really, maybe this isn 't a good idea. and it's one that we ought to reject. Thank you.

Mr. Presidenk and Members of the Senate. I think you need need to take double look at this bill. 'Cause one of the thinqs which wasn't diseussed - that in the Federal Transportation Study, studded tires increase, not decrease, -- increase -- the stopping distance. In other Words, the longer it takes you to stop on dry pavement on bare pavement, which you're running probably eighty-five percent of the time, or better, in Illinois. Dry pavement increases that stopping distance tkenty-seven percent. Now, you a1l know emergency vehicles tend to crowd their luck when they're going through any intersection, anyway, -- particularly one that have liqhts in it. And this increases their stopping distance for that much, by the use of these tire. I don't think it's good judgment. would urge a1l of you to take a hard look at this bill, then vote No With the opposition. And What it Will do damage to the township roads, that We already have enough trouble trying to keep passable, as it is.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator OfDaniel, may close.
Thank you: Mr. President. ïou know, We -- We allow these studded tires to be used - for mail carriers to use them on rural roads. Is it more important to get youîre mail, or is it more important to save someone's residence, or -- or an ambulance to -- to save a life? And Ifm sure there 's no documented proof that these things hurt Ehe road a: all. ïou knoW *he Departmênt of Transportation no< even goes out and grooves roads. You know, there - this is a lot of baloney, really, this is supported by the Association of Fire Protection Districts, and this isn't going to damage the road. You know, our roads out here theydll deteriorate from the use of salt, and things like this, lon: before some vehicle out here - emergency vehicle usinq a studded tire. And 320 STATE OF ILLINQIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 you know, most rural areas and small municipalities don't have the funds to clean the ice and snow off of the side streets, and allz and -- and this -- there's is nothing Wrong with this piece of legislation. The Governor vetoed the same bill last year, and I might read what he what his rationale was. It says his rationale was ''that the value of additional traction or braking effort afforded by studded tires was considerably outweighed by the potential for accidental death, or injury, and cost caused by the resulting of pavement damage.'' That's -- that's a very poor excuse, I think. This is a good piece of legislation. It isn't going to damage the roads. Anyone that knows any thing about a road that a studded tire on a emergency vehlcle they aren't out there that much. And I think it's a good piece of legislation. It should be passed.

SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. What thks bill does# is establksh a -- a rate: to be set by the commission, for meetings held by buildin: commissions. And that is to be set -- the rate is to be set by *he commission, and not to total more than thirty-six hundred dollars a year. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: Thank you. Question of the sponsor. PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON : Whatls the compensation noW? PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs. 322 ! I STATE OF ILLIHOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989
There is none.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Watson.
This is a pay raise, then, of thirty-six hùndred dollars a year for those commissioners?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Correct. In some cases they do pay them, but that's strictly a, you know, do as you can. But in -- in -- in this particular case, most of these meetings are held during the day, and We feel that they should be entitled to some reimbursement.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Watson.
Where -- where are these commissions located?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Normally they fre created because this legislature chose to ensure thae everyone had to build neW prisons and new jails. And in the building of the new jails, almost a11 of them Went to a buildinq commission, in order to get the job done. So, we're just trying to accommodate most of those building commisskons thak come around due to that. I know Rock Island County has one. I know that Springfield has one. A 1ot of the communities, ehat are buildinq county jails, have building commissions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Schuneman.
323 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield.
Senator. know there are some rather long-skanding building commissions around the State. I have one in Whiteside County. I think those people have always served without pay. Do understand now that you're going to mandate that they're paid at least three hundred dollars, and could be paid as much as thirty-six hundred dollars; is that do understand that correctly? END OF TAPE TAPE 7
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS) What I -- what I am saying, is that it is up to the County Board to establish what that rate may be. And that it shouldn't be more than thirty-six hundred dollars a year. Soz there is a possibility, if they have fifty meetings a year, then you Would have to divide thirty-six hundred by fifty.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
But does also require that they be paid at least three hundred dollars per meeting? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs. 324 STATE OF ILLIXOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Leqislative Day May 23, 1989
No. That's one of the problems we had. We had around three amendments trying to come up with some way of saying this, no. 1* just says that no more than thirty-six hundred dollars a year. That rate will be established by the commission.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Sorry to belabor this, but does it set a minimum? Or does it simply say that they must be paid?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
The -- the wording is that now let's get it here. Let me find the amendment. ''Shall be entitled to compensation at a rate set by the commission not to exceed thirty-five hundred dollars a year.'' I don 't know what else to tell you, Senator.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further diseussion? Senator Davidson SENATOR DAVTDSON) Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Davtdson.
You mentioned county board; does this bill affect any other building commissions whlch is no* creaked by Ehe County Eoard?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
As I understand itg it is -- it is for any public building commission.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 325 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 i Senator Davidson. SENATOR DAVIDSON: Well, since you did you mention my town. No one on the building commission - 'cause we do have one, it's been in existence for thirty years, so it was created by the City of Springfield. No one's asked for any such compensation or consideration thereto. And I think this is a very good reason that this bill should just not make it out of here. PRESIDINC OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further dkscussion? Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: Senator Jacobs, I know one of the things we mentioned in committee was whether there was an ending time. I think one thing that does happen, sometimes with building commissions, is that after there job is done, they still continue to operate. Is there any time at which this stops? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: I would hope, Senator Holmberg? that any building commission that would allow itself just to perpetuate, and to continue to pay, just for the sake of paying, would be doin: a disservice. There is no ending point in the bill, however. PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Jacobs may close. SENATOR JACOBS: Just ask for your support.

Thank you very much. This is a very simple bill. It merely raises the fee for mailing notice to a punitive father from a dollar and a half, to tWo dollars plus the cost of certified mail. And it creates a twenty-five dollar - for filing rejection of an arbitration award. This has been requested by the Circuit Clerks' Association, so that their costs are covered.

This says it applies to certain counties. What counties, and does this also cover workers compensation awards?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
It -- it covers counties of a million or less, and it really 327 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 is - it amends the Clerks of Courts Act and the Adoption Act.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Thomas Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) : 328 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislatlve Day May 23# 1989 Sponsor indicates he Will yield. Senator Dunn. SENATOR T. DUNN : I didn't understand your explanation at all, Senator. Would you please do it again? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: Thank you very much. What -- what's happening is, in some of the municipalities the clerks have been havinq some problems when the lawyers come in and they hand them a hundred and fifty water bills and say, ''make up cases for a11 of these, send out the notices.'' Then the people come in and pay their water billsr and instead of collecting the clerks' fee, al1 they ire doing is saying is ''we '1l dismiss the case.'' The clerks are saying, ''quit doing that or -- or at least collect our fee.'' It is costing the clerks a considerable amount of money. Same thing is true with -- with other small civil cases. One of the examples they gave Was a -- a lawyer came in and he had fifty-five counts -- fifty-five lawsukts he could have done it with one lawsuit With the fifty-five counts. He dismissed fifty-four of them. All theydre trying to do is collect their money back. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn. SENATOR T. DUNN: Senator, aren't they obligated, under the Statute, to perform Ehak service? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: What the -- What the municipalitieE have agreed to ks -- and there is an amendment to this bill -- which, in effect, limits it to -- to those kinds of bills. And the amendment says that they I 329 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23: 1989 will enforce criminal - or they will not have to pay for enforcing crkminal or quasi-criminal laws or ordinances, including without limitation administratkon search warrants. What I am saying is, it -- What we're talking about, Senator Dunn, is civil cases. Are the clerks required - are the courts required to pick up that kind of a cost? Under the present 1aw - yes. What they 're trying to do is change the law, so that the' clerks and the taxpayers will no have to -- no longer have to pay for these things. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn. SENATOR T. DUNN: Well Senator, did I understand you to say that a lawyer will walk in with forty or fifty of these cases and ask -- and you wish noW that they al1 be joined as one complaint, for a11 these defendants? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: A1l there're asking for is that when they collect, for instance, the water bill, they collect the court costs. What's happening is they are dismissing the cases without collecting the court costs. That's a1l they're asking for. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn. SENATOR T. DUNN: Who does the lawyer work for that's doing this? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator FaWell. SENATOR PAWELL: The municipalities. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I Senator Dunn.

Why don't they tell their lawyer what to do?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
Because under the present law, they don't have to . I'm sure, With this 1aw in place, they will tell them.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZTO) Indicates she Will yield. Senator Hawkinson.
Senator, hoW do you define local government in your bill?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
It's -- there is no definition of local government in the bill. It's just -- its the Statute according to local government.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hawkinson.
Well, I was afraid that's What you Were going to anskerr because county government is also local government. And since you only exempt law enforcement agencies. if Ebe zoning department or the county clerk has a suit for failure to register a doge or somethin: like this, youlre going to have the county taxing the county, and I -- I'm just not sure that this makes a 1ot of sense.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Fawell, you may close.
331 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 What the clerks are tryinq to do is an attempt have the court costs picked up by those who should be paying them . Those are the people that are paying the bills. Right now, if a -- a -- somebody comes into the recorders office, he pays a fee. If somebody comes into any other county office, he pays a fee. Why in the World shouldn't a municipality who wants the court to, in effect, be their bill collector, not pay the fee. All wedre asking: is that instead of allowing the taxpayers to have to pick up this cost, have the person who owes the money pay the court fee.

335 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legkslattve Day May 23, 1989 Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. When we created, under the Horse Racing Actz the Tax Allocation Fund, two-sevenths of that money was to go for actual promotion of horse racing throughout the State - through all the various tracks that are Within the State. Many of us felt last yeary and had discussed the idea, and caused me to introduce the billz With several cosponsors, that the appropriate agency to# in fact, promote the breeding and raeing of horses, would be the Department of Agriculture. And that ik be given to varying people around the State, who understand the breeding industry and racing industry, and the various tracks khroughout the State. Lo and behold, We should have done it last year. We found, insteadz that a million and a half dollars have gone to one contractor. One contractor, who is the former Director of the Lottery, as opposed to spending ehis money as I think we had intended it to be spent, and that is around Illinois, through various contractors throughout Illinois who understand the promotion of racing and promotion of horse breeding and racing as an industry. This bill would say that it has to go through the Department of Agriculture, which I believe is the better depositor of those issues, and understands the issues; and that it cannot go to one individual contractor, be he a director or not. I would ask for a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Davidson.
Mr. President and Members of Senate. What this bill does is upon certification by a physician that a person's in a terminal state or a qualifying disease, Which is -- would be terminal as determined by the Direetor of Insurance, the policy holder or the insurance eompany could make payment of one-fourth the value fo the policy, to the policy holder. The money is going to be paide this just gives that person Who is in that terminal state an opportunity to get some of the money back to do With what they need, in the Way of either care, or some enjoyment before they pass on. I'd appreciate a favorable vote.
Discussion? Senator Collins.
Sorry. Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he Will yield. Senator Collins.
Does the patient have a choice in this?
Senator Davidson.
It is strietly up to the policy holder. It's their option, if they don't want to take the payment they don't have to. It's not a required, it's their option. This is to follow up What we did a year or two a:o when we -- we gave a change in the law: Which is 337 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Lesislative Day May 23, 1989 now law that if you have a life policy, and in long-term care you can get some advance payment to help pay your medical expense. This is strictly up to the option of the policy holder. It has the support of the insurance industry.
Further discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. Of course I stand in support of the bill. I think we ought to make sure we don't have a misunderstanding about what we're doing here though. This bill would allow insurance companies to sell policies that have this benefit. This would not necessarily mean khat everybodyls insurance policy is going to have the benefit in it. So what this does is allow this kind of insurance to be sold in Illinois and is a trend that is growing around the country and it's one that we here in Illinois will be able to participate in nok.
Purther discussion? Senator Berman.
Thank you. think -- I would just make a sugqestion. If we 're going to allow this - and I don't think it has to be done at this time in this bill - but if We dre qoing to authorize this - as I understand it# let me just ask you a question first. This bill will authorize this kind of policy to be issued in the futurez is that correct?
senaeor Davidson.
As I understand it's correct, you can't make it retroactive.
Senator Berman.
338 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GBNERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Then -- then let me say that we ought to think about and perhaps in the House, what I think we want to prevent is for example, the hospital taking a required assignment of this benefit before they'll except the person at that stage of his illness in order to collect a b1ll that they might not otherwise be able to collect. I -- I just think that this kind of option has to be safeguarded from being taken advantage of by people that we don't intend to be the beneficiary of this option. I just suggest that to you, as the bill moves along.
Further discusslon? Any further discussion? Senator Davidson, you wish to close?
I'd just appreciate a favorable vote and on suggestion on What Senator Berman said, We'll certainly discuss it With him and the Department of Insurance and the life insurance industry, and ask the House Gponsor to consider the amendment.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 339 STATE OF ILLINOI: 86th GEHERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 868 is the Pair Campaign Practices Act. It is a modest attempt to deal with what, I think We all believe, has become a major problem of political campaignin: these days. And that is the ugliness, the negativism, the occasional innuendos, and other practices, which I think a11 of us believe we have been subjected to# and many of us, in fact, have. What the bill does is to provide that every political committee, whether it's dealing With an issuez or with a candidacy, will be given a copy of a proposed Code of Fair Campaign Practices. The text of which is set out in the bill; and will be given an opportunity, voluntarilyz to sign if the head of that comnittee so chooses. There is no enforcement mechanism directly built into the bill, and that is quite deliberate. There are serious first amendment questions -- there are serious first amendment questions whenever you begin to try to put any restraints on whak can be done during the course of a political campaign. My feeling and my hope, and actually my expectation, is that if this is in place - this Code of Fair Campaign Practices - that candidates and political committees, excuse me, Will feel that they should sign the Code, even though it is a voluntary Act. And I think that as time goes by, more and more will, indeed, sign If the candidate, or political committee, does subscribe to the Code, they get, in effect, a bonus. Because they are then allowed to indicate, on their political literature, that they are subscribers to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices. The code sets out standards of conduct for the -- for the conduct of a campaiqn that, I thinkz a1l of us would believe ought to be adhered to by anyone runninq for office, or supportinq a proposition. I emphasize the fact that subscribing to the code is voluntary, which I think is a requirement of the Pirst Amendment. I believe 340 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 it is a step - an important step-in the right direction, even though it is not, totally, going to solve the campaign -- the problem of -- of negative and distortin: eampaigns. But I think it does address - begin to address - a problem that all of us feel very strongly about. I would be happy to answer questions.
All right. Diseussion? Senator Dudycz.
Thank you, Mr. President. A feW questions of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates she will yield. Senator Dudycz.
Senator Netsch, if -- if this Code of Fair Campaign Practice bill is unenforceable, then why are We introducing it here in the Senate? Shouldn't the more appropriate place - have it given through the organizations -- the local organizations, like -- as you know, in Chicago, we have the organization known as CONDUCT. They have documents which they disburse to various candidaees and they the candidates are requested to sign these codes, and pledge to adhere to them. Aren't we going a little off base by trying to introduce a -- a Senate bill.
Senator Netsch.
I don't think so, Senator Dudycz. think that there's a vast difference between what we oan do by passing a 1ak that does tWo things; one, it expresses our commitment to the principle that campaigns ought to be conducted fairly and decently, and that becomes, in effect: a matter of State policy. Seeondly, while there is at least one group tbat exists, in -- that it's sort of self-formed, in Chicago, called CONDDCT; it has no authority and I - - to the best of my knowledge, has actually not circulated and 34l STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23r 1989 asked people to subscribe to any particular code. It is true that on several occasions CONDUCT has suggested that a candidate has stepped beyond the bounds of propriety. 3ut I don't think there's any pre-commitment that it has the authority, or even has attempted to exercise the authority, to impose on candidates by giving them a code to sign before hand. So I think we can do something legislatively, that the voluntary groups cannot do.
Senator Dudycz.
Well, Senator, what youfre saying then, With thls law, you're saying that we are qivin: a commitment to fair campaign practices. And youdre also saying that, in the absence of this lawy that we are -- we are not having that commitment towards fair campaiqn practices. Well, 1et me ask you this, if an opponent signs a pledqey which is written in a more astringent standard than the current laws of libel and slander, could this pledge be used as a - - as a contract in a court of law?
Senator Netsch.
If I heard your question, did you say: could it be used as a contract in a court of law? Yeah. No.
Senator Dudycz.
Well, I don't think that I applaud your your intent, Senator, but I don't think this is the way we should go. donft think that we should be legislating a code of conduct in this manner. I think that the orqanizations, like we have in Chicagoz the organization known as CONDUCT ls -- is a better Way to go at And I stand in opposition of your bill. 342 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 PRESIDENT ROCK: ! Purther discussion? Senator Geo-Karis. ' SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I think the sponsor has good intentions, but it all depends on the individual person campaigning. I've always made it a practice, never to even mention my opponent's name, never attack them, if they want to attack mey be my guest, cause I always say, ''attack issues and not people.f' I don't feel we can legislate conduct. It's just like trying to legislate morality, you can't do that either. And much as I applaud your efforts? Dawn, this is -- I don 't feel this is the way to do it. People are goinq to be vicious, and when they are, so I siqn a pledge and I can't open up my mouth, that's not fair. How Will I be able to show where they're Wrong. I feel it's a little bit one sidedz and thereforez I'm going to vote Present, although I am for fair campaign tactics. I practice them myself, but I don't feel this is the way to do it. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Schaffer. SENATOR SCHAFFER: Mr. Preskdent and Members of the Senate. I don't know -- eyactly What a good vote on this bill is. I -- I suspect a present vote might be a good one, because we all have a conflict of interest. This, and several other bills, are a series of bills which are desiqned to make elected offices in this State hereditary. I think that, frankly, as an incumbent, I suppose we ought to be for this, because, obviouslyz the people that are most likely to bring charges in an election are the challengers. I suppose now if I vote for, or if I vote againstz an income tax proposal, that my opponent can quickly charge me for doing one or 1 j l the other. And then I can quickly bring my opponent up on some ' 343 L . STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 sort of a charge. And itfll become a PR game, if not a legal game. I don't think that the people Who wrote the Illinois Constitution - Senator Netsch was there, perhaps she has a clearer perception than I - meant these offices to be hereditary. think they meant them to be elected in a give-and-take election campaign in which the challengers Were able to bring the issues forward. Frankly, incumbents have plenty of advantages already, if theydre smart enough to use them. I don't think we want to get to the point where - like our friends in Congress - there are more members of the Soviet Politburo defeated in Russia, than there are Members of the Illinois General Assembly. 1 don 't think we Want to be held to that standard.
Further discussion? Senator Keats.
Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates she will yield. Senator Keats.
Dawn, this is not a harassing question. Ilm going to use a real life example. Ih thirteen years I don 't think I've ever mentioned an opponent by name, other than a friendly hello. Eighty-six - I get a mailing that hits the Saturday and the Monday before the election. The only thing they didn't call me Was a ehild molester, but they did intimate that I was one. That was about the only thing they didn't say. It was a fairly rough piece of mail. To call me a crook would have improved the mail. What -- what does this allow me to do, since it hits the Saturday and the Monday, direct mail, right before an election? Luckily my constituency saide ''what a stupld mailing'' and I won by the most I've ever won by. Maybe being called a crook and a child molester is a benefit, I don 't know. But what -- what does this, 344 j STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 mechanically, do, when that mail arrives Saturday and Monday, on a Tuesday election, with facts that are just blatant lies?
Senator Netsch.
I dondt think it totally solves that problem: Senator Keats, and I've not represented that it does. For those of us - and you - - you do not stand alone in that respeet - who have been hit by a weekend before the election ugly piece of campaign literature. I'm not sure that we have any defense except, hopefully, the relationship we've established with our constituents: that will allow them to discount something like that. What this is intended to do, really, is to -- is to create an atmosphere and a self-imposed, self-generated, pressure, that starts before that Weekend before the electionp in which -- if you subscribe to it and -- it -- you get a chance to say so on your literature - and over a period of time - and I'm not saying immediately - think it's going to help change the moral tone of campaigns.
Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Netsch, you wish to close?
Briefly, just wanted to address two things that Senator Schaffer said. 0ne is: that I don't think there's any conflict, when you're talking about fairness and decency and hoW campaigns are conducted. And secondly, the whole polnt you rgad the Code, Senator Schaffer, the whole point is, you are to have every opportunity in the world to be as tough about issues as you choose. It is only When you start calling your -- your opponent - or the issue, as may be, names that are -- that raise prejudices that are untrue, that is when we begin to violate this. A1l of us have been complaining about the moral content of recent 345 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23, 1989 campaiqns. This, at leastz is a step in the right direction.
The question isy shall Senate Bill 868 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who Wish? Have all voted kho Wish? Have al1 voted who wàsh?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Watson.
Yes. Thank you: Mr. President. Senate Bill 879 does exactly what the Calendar says. It requires the Hea1th Maintenance Organization Guarantee Association to reimburse hospitals for legally mandated care provided to enrollees of an insolvent organization. This particular legislation is introduced on behalf of the Hospital Association, and Senator Rea and myself have had hospitals who have been impacted, in regard to HMods, who have gone belly up. And Wbat kelve done here is simply say that the hospitals will be reimbursed only for legally mandaked care, and that's defined as health care that is expressly obliqated pursuant to federal or State law. And wedre simply adding hospitals for that legally mandated care. In the legislatton, following such -- such eontractual obligations that are needed to be paid to the covered individuals from the HMO, and also that the 346 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 34th Legislative Day May 23# 1989 current 1aw says that it must make payments to providers of health care, so as to assure the continuity of care. So we're just asking that hospitals be considered alonq With other providers. I'd be glad to answer any questions, otherwise I would certainly appreciate your support.
