Senator Karpiel on Amendment No. 1.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 788 defines manufactured housing: and includes the terms ''manufactured home,'' ''modular homee'' and ''sectional and panelized structure.'' Under this amendment, the City of Chicago is directed to submit to the CDB, for its approval, a modern state-of-art buildinq code for the city.
All right. Senator Karpiel has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Jones?
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President. I ask for a ruling, whether or not the amendment is -- is germane. If not, then I stand in opposition to the amendment. The amendment has nothing to do with the -- the gist of the bill as relate to affordable housing, and I - - I move khat the -- that we vote against this amendment, because this amendment doesn't have anything to do With what we attempt to do with affordable housing.
(machine cutoffl...senator Jones, the Chair is prepared to 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Leqislative Day June l6# 1989 rule that the amendment is germane. So if you wish to speak in opposition: this is the moment. Senator Jones.
Yes, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. oppose Amendment No. wish the sponsor had at least discussed the amendment with me. But this is the amendment to deal with what the City of Chicago is going to do, and this program is -- it would be a State program and it has nothing to do with the building code as far as the City of Chicago or any other municipality is concerned. And I move -- I urge defeat of Amendment No.
Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I'm surprised, Senator, that you would take that position. Obviously, part of the problem that you've got in the City of Chicago is the building code. I've talked to a number of people from Chicago who claim that the -- the reason youîve got so much vacant property and the reason you have substandard housing, is the fact that the building code will not allow certain structures to be placed on the vacant lots. I think this is an excellent amendment, I think it would help your -- your constituents, and I would certainly be in favor of it.
Further discussion? Senator Keaes.
I rise in support of this amendment, and I want to say, anyone who 's actually in favor of affordable housing, you know, there are two ways to do it. One, you make building housinq affordable, or the other one is you ask everybody in the world to help pay for unaffordable housing to allege that it's affordable. This offers an alternative that's an awful lot gentler on the taxpayers and 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6y 1989 actually allows our State's major municipality the opportunkty to do something for itself, instead of asking others to do for them.
Further discussion? Senator Alexander.
Thank you, Mr. President. To my sister, Senator Fawell. The question about substandard housing in Chicago does not relate to the building code. We have a very strong building code in Chicago. The problem relates to those slum landlords who walk away from properties and do not keep them up .
Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Karpiel may close.
Well, thank you: Mr. President. I think this is a very good amendment. Any of you that saw the prefab home or trailer that was on display down here in Springfield several weeks ago, can see that these prefab homes are very nice. Just like those trailers are very nice. If wedre qoing to have affordable housinq in Illinois, I think that we should be looking at, not only, as Senator Keats said, not only as if it's affordable to the people to -- to buy it or rent but also affordable to build. A1l over the rest of the State of this -- rest of this State, we have building codes which allow manufactured homes, and we have some areas where they have very lovely manufactured homes. I khink it would be very nice for these people to live in them, it would be more affordable for the State to be building, and I urge an Aye vote on khis amendment.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Amendment No. to House Bill 788 simply says that -- that the monies that are collected pursuant to this section shall be spent in the county for which they are collected. We feel that the counties and the cities have a...a responsibility in this regard, as well as the State, and this amendment would take care of that.
All right. Senator Karpiel has moved khe adoption of Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Jones. 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. stand in opposition to Amendment No. The Department of Revenue - - cannot get a breakdown as relate to the transfer of funds and it -- it would be inoperable, so therefore this amendment is just a dilatory tack -- in an attempt to kill the legislakiony and I stand in opposition to it.
All right. Senator Karpiel has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senatey I speak in favor of the amendment. I think the money should be spent where it's supposed to be spent. Just where it's needed. I don 't think there is anything wrong with this amendment. hope that you Withdraw your objection. Senator Jones.
Any further discussion? Senator Karpiel, you wish to close?
Yes, Mr. President, thank you. I -- I think I was -- I think I was describing an amendment I have on another bill. This amendment just simply says that the money should be spent in the county which it was raised. And I ask for an Aye vote.

12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 Amendment No. 3 offered by Senator Schaffer.
Senator Schaffer on Amendment No. 3. He 's here.
Mr. President and Members of the Senate, obviously -- different parts of the State have different problems, and this amendment would allow on a county by county the -- this new revenue source ko be spent for affordable housing or Open Space. Frankly, many of us have a lot of Open Space problems, a lot of development, and we need some funds for that purpose. I think this flexibility is very reasonable.
Senator Schaffer has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3 to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Jones.
Yes, thank -- thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I stand in opposition to Amendment No. 3. The Open Space legislation is already incorporated in the bill. There is no need for this amendment. This is again, another dilatory tactic in an attempt to kill the bill, and I stand in opposition to it.
Further discussion? Senator Keats.
Appreciate it, Mr. President. I want to rise in support -- you know this Open Space issue is not a partisan issue. In -- in areas such as mine, believe you, my Democrats are as strongly in favor of it as some of my Republicans. This is not a dilatory amendment. It really is a nonpartisan issue. In areas like mine thak are almost fully developed, you know, our problem is not putting in affordable housing. You couldn't put in housing if you wanted to. What welre trying to do is get some place to put a tree or a bush, and we need a little help on that, and we would 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 appreciate that We be allowed to do things in our area the way you are being allowed to do things in yours.
Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Schaffer, you wish to close?
Well, simply to say that I don't think it's the better part of judgment around here to have legislation that seats the need suits the needs of only one small, although very populated, section of the State. think there are different strokes for different folks, and it's only fair and reasonable, would suggest to you, that our part of the world, generally, is going to generate a significant part of this revenue, and we ought to be allowed some flexibility as to what our priorities are. And I would suspect that there are many people in this Chamber, on both sides of the aisle, whose districts would be much better served with this bill as amended, with this proposed amendment.
Question is, the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 788. Those in favor of the amendment will vote Aye, opposed will vote Nay: and the voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 29 voting Ayeg 29 voting Nay, none voting Present. And the amendment fails.

15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSRMRLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 Amendment No. 4 offered by Senator Schuneman.
Senator Schuneman on Amendment No.4.
Thank you, Mr. President. Members of the Senate: Amendment No. 4 would take out of this bill the real estate licensing provisions. Those provisions are already in another Senate bill carried by this same Senate sponsor in Senate Bill 2405. So the Real Estate License Act Will be renewed. We Will vote to renew it here in the Senate. It's a noncontroversial issue, and frankly, the reason for offering this amendment is -- I think it sets a bad precedent, because in effect, what has apparently been done here, is require the real estate licensed people in Illinois to agree to support an increase in taxes and to -- to support this particular program in exchange for having their license Act renewed. Thatls the wrong way to do things around here. We shouldn 't begin this; and I think people on both sides of the aisle would agree with that. It's not a -- it's not a partisan issue, it's simply an issue of fairness: and I would ask for your support of the amendment.
All right. Senator Schuneman has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 4 to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Jones.
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I stand in opposition to Amendment No. 4. The -- the Realtors of the State of Illinois strongly suppork this legislation as is, and even though there is another bill out there, they want the two to remain the same because affordable housing and the rewrite of the - - the Real Estate Licensing Act are similar in nature because they are related. However, the amendment that's on 2405, which will be Tabled, they want to keep this bill intact. They strongly 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMRLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 support the rewrite along with the affordable housing, and so I move the defeat of Amendment No. 4.
Further discussion on Amendment No. 4? Senator Karpiel.
Thank you: Mr. President. Well, I rise is stron: support of this amendment. As a licensed Realtor myself, I can tell you that I do not like my license to be all to be hung up on a bill and àave my lobbyist and my association be coerced into supporting a bill because their license has been attached to I think, as Senator Schuneman so aptly said, we should not start this. There is no end in sight for this kind of -- behavior and this kind of legislation, and I urge an Aye vote for this amendment.
Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Schuneman, you wish to close?
Thank you, Mr. President. Well, Senator Jones mentioned that the Realtors are in support of 788 as is. I suggest to you they didn't have any cboice. And While the sponsor is a good loyal sponsor, I'm not sure he actually believes that we ought to do what -- hels asking us to do in 788. I think that -- that we should call the bluff of the House and pass the Real Estate Licensing Act, which is in -- at passage stage, ready to :o, in House Bill 2405. Take the real estate licensing out of this bill, and remove the intimidation and coercion that appears to be a part of this deal.

Amendment No. 5 offered by Senator Barkhausen.
18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 Senator Barkhausen.
Mr. President and Members, Amendment No. 5 to House Bill 788, steps up the phase-in schedule for the existing State Real Estate Transfer Tax, which, under the bill, is earmarked for two Open Space purposes, two-thirds of the money going to the OSLAD, the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development Act program , and one-third being targeted for the past and -- and to some extent, ongoing program of the'Department of Conservation for acquiring natural areas. My my interest in the bill is -- is primarily directed to the Open Space and park acquisitions of the bill, but I have -- I must say that I've been somewhat troubled, even though I'm supportive of a State program for housing. I've been somewhat troubled that -- that the -- the increase in the tax incorporated in this bill is all earmarked for housing, while the -- the Open Space initiative takes sort of a back seat, in the sense that the money that it gets, While it would eventually be equal to the money for housing, it take five years to be put on the same plane as the -- as the housing portion of the bill. So what this amendment does: is to -- is to step up the phase-in from five years to two, for the earmarking of the existing State Real Estate Transfer Tax for that Open Space portion of the bill. I'd be happy to answer any questions and -- and would otherwise strongly urge your support.
Senate Barkhausen has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 5 to House Bill 788. Discussion? Senator Jones.
Yes, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. With the adoption of previous amendments, I'd like to know whether or not this particular amendment tracks.
19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Leqislative Day June l6# 1989 That request is in order. (machine cutofflo.oBarkhausen, it appears that, by virtue of the adoption of Amendment No. offered by Senator Schaffer, this amendment does not track, and therefore is -- has to be ruled out of order. Further amendments? Senator Barkhausen.
Just an inquiry of the Chair, Mr. President. I confess have not seen the text of Senator Schaffer's amendment. But...
We just read it.
... But my understanding is, that while it qives local governments a choice as to how the money is spent, it doesn't require any ...tinaudiblel... and Senator Karpiel's amendment failed that it does not earmark any portion of the total tax.
Now, the question was put to the Chair, not substantively . The question was put to the Chair: does it track? And the fact is, it does not. Senator Schaffer's amendment replaced most of Page 85 and most of Page 86# and your amendment addresses Page 85 at specific lines, and there's just no way it tracks. Further amendments?

Yeah, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate.

PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This amendment has been distributed, and I will -- it's a very important amendment and I began to talk about it yesterday: and I will reiterate my comments. Next year, automobile liability coverage will be mandatory for the first time in Illinois, and as a consequence of that, unless we act on Insurance Reform this year, Illinois will be the only state - the only state in the country - to require insurance without any oversight of the rates when this mandatory coverage takes effect. If consumers are going to be forced to buy insurance according to our new law, then we should be obligated to insure that that coverage - that mandatory coverage is available at a rate that's fair and reflective of the actual loss premium experience. This amendment offers rate protection to insure that rates are not excessive. All it really says is that if you want an increase in your rates, you must come in before the Department of Insurance and justify that you need an increase or a decrease in excess of ten percent. That's al1 does. If you justify then you'll get your increase. The fact is that statewide and nationally auto insurance premiums have increased seventy-nine percent since 1982. That three times faster than the consumer price index, which only increased twenty-six percent during that same time. And as I mentioned yesterday, a 1ot of people say, ''Well sure, it's increased; cost of health care has increased, medical costs have increased.'' Yes, they have increased, but not nearly as fast as the cost of auto insurance, which increased thirty-six percent faster than the cost of health insurance. In 1986, of the twenty-three states with strict auto insurance rate regulation, seventeen of those states 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989 have lower average premiums than Illinois. We think that that *en percent increase ought to be based on changes in actual loss and earning experience. I donlt really see that there is anything wrong in basing the increases on actual experience, on actual loss and earnings experience. If you can justify thate youlll get your rate increase. That is what this bill is a11 about. It's about fair pricing. It's about rate protection. Wedre the only state in the nation that has mandatory auto insurance without any rate regulation of our insurance industry whatsoever. That's whak this bill is all about, and I solicit your Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. I think it's interesting that the -- the sponsor seeks to begin State control of insurance prices in Illinois based on the fact that we passed the compulsory auto insurance last year. If you remember, one of the arguments against compulsory auto insurance was it was going to cost us more. It would be a higher -- higher premium cost. The fact of the matter is that I can make a good case for showing you that as the State gets into the busàness of regulating insurance costs and premiums, that is in direct proportion to how high your premium is going to go. For example, those states with the greatest rate regulation are Massachusetts, New Jersey, California - and those states happen to be right -- ranked one, tWo and three, as far as average automobile insurance costs are concerned. The highest rates in the United States are in Massachusetts, then New Jersey, then California. The fact of the matter is that the average auto insurance rates in Illinois are below the national average, and those states that are below the national average, for the most part allow open competitionz and that's what we have in Illinois. You remember that several years ago we adopted open competition in 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989 Workers Compensation, and we all think that it worked very, very well. Now we want to reversed that process - or Senator Marovitz is suggesting that we reverse the process - and I suggest to you that that's a step in the wrong direction. I am not sure just where the Senator gets a1l of his statistics, but I have got statistics to prove just the opposite of what he is sayinq he has statistics to prove. So I guess we won't get into the statistical war. One other point I want to make about this amendment, I think it's a mistake to put our Department of Insurance into this business, unless we are going to give them a lot more money to do what will be required under the terms of this bill. The Department of Insurance in Illinois operates on a budget of twelve million dollars. The one in California has a budget of thirty-five million dollars, so if you adopt this kind of regulation, expect that it's going to require more to administer I think it's a bad amendment. This idea has been rejected by the Senate, first of all, in its own bill. The Senate put this bill into subcommittee. The House has rejected this bill, and al1 other IPAC proposals, and at this late date, we should not prolon: the arqument.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Collins.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I rise in in support of this amendment. While it does not go further enough, it is a beginning. I -- and I would like to say to the sponsor of this bill that he really should have passed this bill prior to passing the mandatory auto insurance, and you would have done a service to the people of Illinois: because most states with mandatory automobile insurance have some kind of rate controls and regulations. And it is unfair what we have perpetrated on the people of this State, and there is no doubt about it, insurance 31 F' STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 auto rates will qo up so high until many people will just not be able to afford automobile insurance, because it is mandatory now , no controls, and they can charge whatever they want to. And they know people are now intimidated by the law to try and purchase insurance, regardless of the rates. So this is a beginning, and I think we should adopt this amendment. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DEANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. You know, am just utterly amazed that we try to pass legislation that tries to take care of a problem with a wish. If you want to reduce insurance rates. jusk say that we are going to reduce them, and that aukomatically reduces 'em. The fact is, Senator Marovitz, that does not do it at all. In fact, what you are doin: with this bill is actually blaming the bathroom scale for being overweight. Where were you on the tort reform, which is a very big cost for litigation of insurance costs? Where were you on malpractice, which is a very big cost of insurance? Where were you on the crash parts bill, which eliminates competition when you have to repair a car? Now all of a sudden, you walk in with your magic wand, like Jiminy Cricket, and you are going to wave away all these increases. Let's get real for a change. This bill isn'k going to do anything. In facty all it's going to do is drive them up more, because more people will leave. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. And I rise in support of the bill, and am glad to see the sponsor of the amendment has finally saw the light. When he -- when he insisted that this State has mandatory insurance, my only 32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 concern was that the consumer, who will be forced to buy insurance, have some sort of a protection. And those individuals on the other side of the aisle who are talking in opposition to this bill, when that mandatory hits - and it is a statewide mandatory insurance - and when those bad drivers in your area get put into the pool which you will have to pay for, and those rates begin to jump, you will wish you had supported this amendment. Senator Marovitz is absolutely right. Today he is. He was wrong when he did not deal with this issue when he was pushin: mandatory insurance, but now that he has seen the light in recognizing the fact that these rates could soar, we need this protection for the consumer. So I rise in strong support of -- of this Amendment No. l to House Bill 2205.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
I just have a question about this...
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will yield.
asowhen we lre talking about..owhen we're talking about a ten percent increase in rates being subject to review by the Department of Insurance, can you tell me what ten percent increase means? Does that mean ten percent increase in the casualty business by zip code, or is that by...in the aggregate statewide, or...or just how does that applicable?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz.
It means that if they issue the same policy, and the premiums for thae particular policy are goin: up ten percent, they 'd have come in and justify it. 33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
You mean to tell me that every individual casualty policy in Illinois that is in excess of ten percent that that individual would have that premium reviewed by the Department of Insurance?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz.
The companies would have to submit the policies with the premiums to the Department before they Were offered, if it was over a ten percent increase.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
Wellg I'm sorry, I didn't really hear the gentleman's explanation, but it seems ko be me that.o.to be very cumbersome. If you're talking about an automobile insurance policy rating of ten percent in the aqgregate for statewide under review, that's one thing. To suggest that Wedre going to have the Department of Insurance review every automobile insurance or casualty program on an individual basis, sounds to me to be somewhat cumbersome. Perhaps the gentleman would.oowould...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Elaborate.
o o. indicate to me again, precisely what he means by the ten percent individual or ten percent in the aggregate by policy class.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz, to close. We have two more amendments, Ladies and Gentlemen. We spent exactly twenty minutes on this 34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 one. So, time yourself accordinqly.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. Just for the edification of a couple of my colleagues who said that maybe I've seen the light, the fact is, I did sponsor this bill before Mandatory Auto Insurance passed. The Senate passed this bill. We passed this very bill two or three years ago, before Mandatory Auto Insurance passed and before Mandatory Auto Insurance ever went into effect. So I saw the need for this, as well as the need for Mandatory Auto Insurance. The fact is, when you take in consideration the number of insured motorists, Illinois has the highest insurance rates of any state in the Midwest. The highest insurance rates of any state in the Midwest, when you compare insured motorists, and I think that's what this particular bill addresses. And to my good friend, Senator DeAngelis, don't be Pinochio. This bill is a bill strictly dealing with fairness and equity, and I can 't imagine anybody have an objection with saying, ''If you want to increase rates over ten percent rates that are already the highest in the Midwest - just come in and justify it. Open your books, show us your loss experience: and you...wedll give you that increase, but don't do it arbitrarily and gouge the people of the State of Illinois.'' That's what going on now. That's what this amendment addresses. I solicit your Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Question is, shall Amendment No. l be adopted. Al1 in favor: vote Aye. All opposed, vote Nay. The voting is open. Give me an Aye, please. Have al1 voted who Wish? Have all voted who wish? Please take the record. On this question, there are 20 Ayes: 35 Nays, and the amendment fails. Any further amendments?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Collins. Senator Collins. There is an amendment here. Senator Karpiel, Amendment No. 1.
Well, this bill ks a bill that is for the prevention of homelessness, and it calls for the Department of Public Aid to establish a homelessness prevention program, under which grants shall be provided to households, in times of temporary economic crisis, which may become homeless. And my amendment to this bill simply says that if the household is located in a municipality, 47 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 the municipality should provide fifty percent of the total amount of the qrant, and if the household is located in an unincorporated area of the county, then the county should provide fifty percent of the grant. think that with the very good possibility that we are going to be passkn: a tax increase, whkch ks goinq to give counties and municipalities a good -- a good amount of money that theydre not having right now: that they should participate in this. After all, if the homeless problem is a problem in their county or their city, I think that they should be as concerned as the State, and participate in -- in paying for it. And I ask for your Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jaeobs, on this amendment.
Thank you, Mr. President. Just one question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates she will yield.
Senator: you indicated that we are qoing to have a tax increase. Does that mean you are going to vote for the tax increase to insure that we have one, so that this amendment will be germane?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Karpiel.
Is that a rhetorical question or ...(inaudib1e)...?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) No, it's factual. Senator Collkns.
rise in -- in strong opposition to this amendmente and I am really sorry that the sponsor did not talk with me about this amendment. This is a House bill, and there is. of course, a House 48 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 sponsor, and if the -- the Senator wanted to amend this bill, she should have extended me the courtesy of talking with me about it, so that I could have consulted the original House sponsor of this bill. But to the merits of this amendment, this amendment will, in fact, kill the bill. We have not talked with the counties or any of the local municipalities, and don't know whether or not they have any money to do this. It is the State 's responsibility - - primary responsibility to look after the welfare of the citizens of this State. And then, more importantly, the Department of Public Aid spends far more money on these same people if they become homeless. What this bill does, it prevent them with a small grant, small a little assistance these people from becominq homeless, because if they become homeless as - - especially those people with families, the Department of Public Aid will have to provide some time in hotels, if there are no other spaces available anyplace else, and pay the cost of a hotel up -- up to six weeks, which would be far more than what it would cost ko give these people some temporary assistance. It is foolish to allow more people to become homeless and become on the welfare roll. So this is to prevent homelessz and we should defeat this amendment.

Thank you, Mr. President. Well, actually, in my township back home and the townships in my county...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Excuse Me. Excuse me# Senator Karpiel. For what purpose does Senator Collins seek recognition?
I am sorry, but you cut me off. I also Wanted to ask, was the amendment distributed? I didndt even know it existed. 49 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989

The staff supposedly distributed it. Senator Karpiel, to close.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. I believe the amendment was distributed on the fourteenth, which was a couple of days ago. I was just going to say khat in the townships in the counties which I represent, most of the -- the collar counties -- khe townships there do this very program right now. As a past general assistance supervisor, myself, I know that we put a lot of people up in hotels, and we helped a lot of people with their rente and with their utility costs, and that is the type of thing that we do in our township general assistance offices at the present time. I don't see anything wrong with asking counties and municipalities that have this problem - and we all have this problem , by the way had many people that we found were living in cars and that type of thing, but we -- we want to take care of our own. Well, if this is a State program, that's fine, but I think that the counties and the municipalities can help with this program. After all, they're -- they dre constituents also. And I ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The question is, shall Amendment No. l be adopted. A1l in favor siqnify by saying Aye. Opposed, by saying No. The amendment's defeated.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kustra: Committee Amendment No. 1.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Committee Amendment No. l was an agreed - to amendment in committee. And what it does is reinstate the family life mandate, which was removed by this original bill. The original bill was designed to require the teaching of sexual abstinence in sex education courses. The bill also removed the family life mandate, which is 52 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Leqislative Day June 16, 1989 to be taught in health education courses. After a lonq discussion in the Education Committee, was aqreed at that time, to put the family life mandate back into the law. That's what this committee amendment does.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Is there any discussion? The question ise shall -- Senator Kelly, on the amendment? SENATOR Kelly: Well, -- Mr. President and Members, I rkse to oppose this. I understand the -- the individuals who had promoted this legislation, this abstinence, and the House sponsor, are in opposition to it, and I therefore will resist the -- committee amendment.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I rise in support of this amendment. Wheaton School, which is certainly one of the most conservative communities in the State, has got an excellent program that allows the children, the students, to learn, in effect, what marriage, under this program -- under this subject, is really al1 about. What they do is they teach about budgetingr they teach about -- the way that they have to earn a living, and pay for apartments, and do a11 the necessary things that involve a -- a marriage. I think we are throWing the baby out with the bathwater without this amendment. It's an excellent amendment. There will be an additional amendment, which will allow the parenks to opt out if they so desire. And -- and I think combination of these two amendments should certainly satisfy anyone.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Berman.

Senator Joyce.
Thank you, Mr. Pres'ident. This is a supplemental of a hundred and three million six hundred thousand. Seventy-eight million of that are from the GRF. Twenty-five are from other sources. The main ingredient in this is the incentive for Sears to stay in Illinois; that's thirty-three million dollars. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
Is there any discussion? Is there any discussion?s..tmachine cutoffl.o.sorry. Senator Etheredge.
Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, there are a long list of things here that are -- have been requested and -- by the various departments, for their continued operation. I'd just point out that one of them is the circuit breaker grants to about one hundred and one thousand folks who have been waiting for these for several weeks. There is, as Senator Joyce has indicated, the incentive program for that will that is designed to help us retain Sears Roebuck here in the State of Illinois. I stand in support of this of this 58 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Leqislative Day June 16, 1989 Motion to Concur.
. .. tmachine cutoffl... Further discussion? Senator Collins.
I I'd just like to ask a question, and I am not really objecting to some kind of help to keep Sears -- to bail out Sears, 'cause I recognize that it does have -- Sears -- keeping them here would have a -- I mean, with them leaving, would have a serious impact on our economy and employment in this State. But I sure would like to know that there is a site and that they have decided you know -- where they are going to to relocate, nok just to appropriate the money for a site unknown. You know, that, to me, seems to be rather careless. 'Cause we don't know how much. So do you have any indication of where the site is going to be?
Senator Collins, to whom is your question directed? Senator Joyce is the sponsor.
Joyce.
Will you repeat the question, please?
I didn't know who the sponsor was: I am sorry, but whoever the sponsor is.
Would you repeat the question, please?
Do you have any indications that Sears is willing to stay, even we put the money up, and has there been any kind of agreement, and where the site would be located?
Senator Joyce. 59 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Leqislative Day June l6, 1989
Welly to my -- to the best of my knowledge, the Mayor of Chicago and the Governor have met with Sears this week again. There are two sites, one by the airport, and one -- close -- in close proximity thereof. And yes, I guess that there is -- you know, a great deal of concern, and it's -- from what I've heard and Senator Newhouse and I were on the committee that -- that was dealing with this - that Sears is i'ndeed considering leaving, buk also , we're still very much in the running. And so I think that this is entirely necessary to keep that great company located in the State of Illinois. I think we are making great strides in bringinq companies back to Illinois, and I -- I think we would certainly be sendàng a wrong signal to lose someone the -- you know , as great as Sears to another state. So I think we have to make every effort we can to do that, and I know that the negotiations are going on as we speak.
Senator Collins.
Senator, I am not objectinç to that, and I support that effort, but just would appreciate it, living in the City of Chicago and as accountable to the people back there. that I would have known something about what you are doing. That's a11 I am asking the questions, because I pick up this - whatever this is - and look and see, this seems kind of ridiculous to me just not knowing what the hell it's a1l about. That's all.
Further discussion? Senator Watson.
Yes, thank you. Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he Will yield, Senator Watson. 60 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989
Senator, I understand that the eiqht hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars for the farmland hold harmless for rural schools was taken out of the bill. Is there an explanation to why that occuyred?
Senator Joyce.
No -- welly none was given to me.
Senator Watson.
Well, people are going to get tired of hearing about it around here. We've just attacked -- attached it to another bill that's coming out of Appropriations. I think sooner or later we've got ko fulfill our obligation to these school districts -- these rural schools. And We had the money in there, and unfortunately, it's now out, but in time I am sure we'll get it done. Thank you.
Further discussion? Senator Luft.
Thank you, Mr. President. A question, please.
Indicates -- sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator.
My analysis on the thirty-three million dollars, what appears ko be the Sears Building, just simply says that itds thirty-three million dollars for interest in land site improvements and related local public infrastructure improvements. The word ''Searsd' is never mentioned in my analysis. Is it, in fact, mentioned in the bill?
61 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 Senator Joyce.
Well, khere is substantive language that has to accompany this, and that is being drafted currently.
Further discussion? Senator Welch.
Wellp a question of the sponsor.
Indicates he will yield, Senator Welch.
Senator, when we passed out Senate Bill 385, we put in there wastewater treatment grants of some ninety-six million dollars. Those are out of this bill. We put in forty-five million dollars for education, thirty million dollars out of Lottery. Do you why the -- why the bill came back without those two items in it?
Senator Joyce.
No, I don't know why it came back: other than they took them out in the House.
Any further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Joyce, you wish to close? Question is, shall the Senate concur in House Amendments 1 and 2 to Senate Bill 261. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed will vote Nay. And the voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record.

The Senate does concur in House Amendments l and 2 to Senate Bill 261, and the bill, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed....tmachine cutoffloo.Ladies and Gentlemen, we 62 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 will attempt, as reasonably as we can, to go through the recall list, but I caution you, we are going to adjourn at noon. If we're not finishedy welll just get to it next week. So we'll move as quickly as we can. The Chair Will assume, as it has assumed all morning, Senator Karpiel, that when the sponsor indicates that amendments have been distributed, they have, in fact, been distributed. If: indeed: it comes to the attention of khe Chair that one or another of these amendments has not been distributede it will be taken out of the record. And I have asked the Pages to diskribute the agreed bill list, which obviously you will be asked ko kake with you over the weekend, and we will act on it on Monday. There was an attempt on the part of the minority and majority offices to reflect on that list those matters that were essentially noncontroversial, so that we can deal with them as they come along . All right. We will start on the Order of House Bills 3rd Readinq, Madam Secretary. A copy of the recall list has been distributed. If any Member has any objectione or hasn't gotten a copy of the amendment, just 1et us know and it's coming out. On the Order of House Bills 3rd Readinq, top of Page 6, House Bill 39.

Senator Maitland.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Inquiry of the -- of the Secretary. Madam Secretary, the first amendment is ''THtcamol''?
That's correct.
Thank you very much, Madam Secretary. Mr. President, Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 42 is an amendment suggested by the Community College Board. It does a couple of things. It's primarily technical, but the major component is that it increases 64 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989 the initial grant for new district's start-up money from one hundred thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand. That's a more realiskic number, and I would move for the adoption.
Senator Maitland's moved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 42. Any discussion? If not, all in favor -- I beg your pardon. Senator Jones. All right.

Senator Maitland, on Amendment No. 2.
Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 42 continues the charge-back of provisions -- I am sorry, Mr. President. That component was in Amendment No. 1. Amendment No. -- Madam Secretary, Amendment No. 2 would then be ''THcdam0l?''
That's correct.
Thank you very much, Madam Secretary. Amendment No . 2 provides for the establishment of subdistricts in -- in the newly formed Community College District, and I Would move for the adoption.
Senator Maitland has moved the adoption of Amendment No . 2 to House Bill 42. Is there any discussion? Senator Jones.
65 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Would the sponsor yield?
Indicates he will yield, Senator Jones.
Senator Maitland, this amendment, when you said subdistrictse you mean those persons who will be running will be running in districts that will not be at-large district, or was that in Amendment No. 1?
Senator Maitland.
Senator Jones, that -- the subdistrict language is in the current amendment that wedre debating.
Senator Jones.
Is the Community College Trustee Board in favor of this amendment?
Senator Maitland.
Senator Jones, am reliably informed that the Community College Trustees are not in support of this amendment.
Senator Jones.
Well, I think we better look at this amendment very carefully, because what the amendment actually does is dilute the opportunity for a persons to run for election to get elected . And if the sponsor would explain to me the amendment very fully and tell us the impact of the amendment, because the trustees, as I 66 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislakive Day June l6, 1989 understand, aze opposed to this amendment because it would delute...tinaudible, due to electrical probleml...Boy, you know -- didn 't know I was that powerful, but if the sponsor will explain the amendment fully and how it impacts on that particular district, 'cause I have been led to believe that this amendment will dilute the opportunities of persons to get elected. The trustees want an at-large election so that members from a1l groups will have an opportunity to get elected. By putting this amendment on, you Would prevent persons who want to be elected to that board from getting elected. I stand in opposition to it.
Further discussion? Senator Holmberq.
Thank you. I Would just echo Senator Jones' comments that this is unique. It's not being done, as I understand it# in any of the other community college districts, and as a matter of practice, the Community College Trustees do oppose this.
Further discussion? Senator Newhouse.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator, this amendment is so bad khat even the sound system blew up. This concept Was embodied in Senate Bill 190. It was soundly defeated, with even the sponsor voting against it, and I would recommend to Members of this Body that we send it down to resounding defeat.
A11 right. Any further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Maitland, you Wish to close?
Wellg thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I was -- I was aware of some opposition I think from the N-C-A-A-P <sic> in McLean County - and I understood that they, 67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 after readin: the amendment, had -- had withdrawn their opposition. They did not tell me that. This is, quite frankly , an attempt to get some minority area representation. I -- I think it was a misreading of the amendment, and I am sorry you feel that way, and if you oppose it, that's fine. Senator Holmberg, again I I simply -- oppose the amendment, but don't make statements like ''It's not being done anywhere else#'' because, in fact, there is at least one other community college that has districtse as I understand This is critically important to us, to allow for representation out in some of the rural areas, and I would move for the adoption.

Mr. President, I regret that I have to say this, but I had asked for this recall for the purpose of honoring Senator Woodyard, who had an interest in a convention center.

JCAR recently held that the Department of Veteran Affai rs must have statutory authority to eskablish rules for payment of headstone transportation and erection. The Federal Governmenk pays for the headstone or memorial marker for veterans . The Department of Veteran Affairs pays up to fifty dollars for the cost of transporting and erecting the headstone.

On the Order of House Bills 2nd Reading , House Bill 629. Madam Secretary. SECRETARY HAWKER : Amendment No. l offered by Senator Wakson. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. This is -- this legislation deals primarily with Scott Air Force Base, and it also deals with quick-take provisions. The area that they are talkinq about expanding Scott Air Force Baser is predominantly a rural area. A lot of farmers live there, and there are some fifty-four people that are going to have to be asked to leave thei r homes: their livelihood: their farms, their livestock, whatever it might be e and move on to somewhere else . Under quick-take provisions currently, ninety days is what they -- after all the procedure of the quick-take, the individual says: ''You got ninety days now to get off the property andleave . ' ' With the situation in a rural area and the decisions that have to be made by the f armers and the people that live there, I think ninety days is unrealistic. This amendment just simply says wedll give them two years to - - to move, and we heard testàmony in committee by the p roponents of the dual purpose Scott Air Force Base that the construction will take, literally, years - ten, fifteen possible years - to construct the airport. So wedre not asking for a lot here in saylng that weAll give those people two years in Which to move off kheir properky. I just move for its adoption.
75 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislakive Day June 16, 19:9 Senator Watson has moved the adoption of Amendment No . l to House Bill 629. Discussion? Senator Dunn. SENATOR RALPH DUNN: We appreciate the fact that Senator Watson thinks he has a problem , but this a quick-take bill, and if you make it two years, it doesn't become a quick-take bill, and in fact, kills it. And it's pretty necessary we have this, so that in case there is some people who own land in conneckion with Scott Air Base, that they don't drag out the construction another five or ten years. Let's hope that they won't have to use quick-take, but the Federal Government and the St. Clair County people and the people that are working on the airport, including the Governor, and -- welre all interested in as quick as we can get construction started. There will be a two- or three-year period that theylll be negotiating with these farmers, and if they can come to an aqreement, they won 't use quick-take. But if it is necessarye we'd like to have thise and I1d urge that we defeat Senakor Watson's amendment.
Further discussion? Senator Hall.
I rise in support of Senator Dunn. This has to do with the double use of Scott Air Base, civilian and military . It will give us an opportunity in Illinois to bring another airport. You remember years ago we tried one here , but Missouri defeated that. Missouri's landlot, the only Way they can come is to come this way. This will expand the Metro East, and all of the local officials and all are great supporters of this. I realize that -- that Senator Watson is obligated to do what he tries to do, but this is one thing that we don't want to impede progress: and this would make it unfeasible for them to get going. The governmentls goinq to pay the lion's share of thksa It's necessary for the development of the Metro East - that's Belleville and al1 that 76 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENEAAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 area. We have a light rail coming throuçh there which people can ride, when it's developed, all the way to -- to Lambett Pield and other places. So I am with Senator Dunn on this. We ask for the defeat of this amendment. PRESIDENT ROCKC All right. Purther discussion? Senator Woodyard . SENATOR WOODYARD : Thank you, Mr. Presidenk. Question of the sponsorg please. PRESIDENT ROCK: Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Woodyard. SENATOR WOODYARD: Senator Watson, I am not sure that -- that you can answer this question, but who às granted these quick-take powers? What agency?
Senator Watson.
Senator, I am not sure I can answer it, but I think it's the Airport Authority, which is currently the County of St . Clair.
Senator Woodyard.
I guess my question, many times, certainly, We grant quick-kake powers to like the Department of Tra nsportation or somebody like that, and I guess my concern ise does this apply only to that one specific area, and not to anyplace else i n the Skate?
Senator Watson.
Yes, it applies only to the St. Clair County, and actually to , the dual purpose airport. 77 STATE OE ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6, 1989 PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Davidson. SENATOR DAVIDSON: Mr. President and Members of khe Committee - - I mean Members of the Senate. I rise in opposition to this. We heard this debate in committee. The thing that part of you didngt hear, don't think, when Senator Dunn mentioned - talked in opposition to this - this airport possibility and the quick-take if it's necessary, only -- only kicks in if the Federal Government decides they are goin: to qo with the airport and three hundred and ninety million or whatever they lre taking about . Otherwise, it's kaput . And consequentlye those landowners or the people who were there dcause we listened to them - refused to accept the reality that only if the Federal Government decides they can expand this airport to make ik a dual purpose airpork - until then, and some of khem were beinq dogs in the manger about the situation, and maybe if I owned the farmlandr I would too. But I urge opposition to this amendment.
All right. Purther discussion? Senator Vadalabene .
Yes. There 's been enough said about the opposition to this . I alsoe in committee, heard the testimony, and I am totally opposed about this amendment.
A11 right. Purther discussion? Further discussion? Senator Watsone you wish to close?
Yes, thank you. Wellz this amendment was not heard in committee, first of all. This is the first time that it has been presented . We have talked about àt With various Members throughout the Session, and my concern for the people that live in 78 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENEPAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 this area you know, it's kind of a shame that people's livelihood for qenerations has been agriculture, and now a1l of a sudden We 're going to say that f'Within ninety days, you are going to have to leave your farm.'' I jusk think thak that's not the right thing to do. I think those people in thak area deserve more consideration than that. Wedre not asking for a lot. Two years is not a long period of time, especially when you are talking about ten to fifteen years -- to construct the airpo rt. So I don't think this is unreasonable; I am tryin: to pr otect those people living in the area, and I would appreciate your support. Thank you.

Amendment No. l offered by Senator Karpiel.
Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Mr. President. Amendment No. to House Bill 1137 is really the contents of House Bill 602 as it came over here from the House, and as a1l of you know: House Bill 602 is now something entirely different. So we are trying to rescue the language that was on it originally. What it does is -- says that if a CIAO, the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer, completes al1 of the requirements that are now in Statute, and -- and has a fifteen class hours of -- every four years before the following electiony those courses can be taken from a community college , and can include such things as computer courses, assessment law change courses, and things like that. The purpose of the bill is for assessors Who have -- Who have met all the requirements that are now in the Statutes, and have to still take these continuing -- these classes. There is nothing left for them to take. In fact: some of our assessors back home are now teaching some of these courses, and yet they have to continue taking them year after year to meet the requirements of these of Statute. So we are 83 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 16, 1989 expanding the kinds of courses that they can take to keep up their continuing education hours.
Senator Karpiel has moved the adoption of Amendment No . 1. Discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Karpiel, have no objection to the content of the amendment. It was not one of those that came through Revenue, I believe it went through Local Government in its original form, but your explanation, I think, explains why khis slight revision in the educational requirements seems to make sense. I just want to be clear about one thing, and this is a matter of simply keeping track of bills that might reappear in other forms. You mentioned that this is the -- the text of House Bill 602, which might otherwise have been the income tax vehicle for the Senate Republicans. That means that Senake Bill 602 is effectively stripped of iks content, and I assume that also means that we are not likely ever to see it again. Is that a fair assumption?
Senator Karpiel.
Frankly, I don't know, but I sincerely hope so.
Senator Netsch.
You -- you skncerely hope that we will never see it aqain, ks that what you are saying? Okay, thank you.

Amendment No. 2 offered by Senator Watson.
Senator Watson, on Amendment No. 2.
Thank you, Mr. President. This will allow a county collector ko refuse to accept a personal check within thirty days before a tax sale. What's happened in some areas is that an individual who is known to bounce a few checks, comes iny writes a check, because current law says khey can, and then the tax sale occurs and the check Ehen comes back after the tax sale, and the county is held responsible. So -- not necessarily responsible, but they end up with the check. This simply would allow that county collector refuse to accept that personal check thirty days before the tax sale. Move for its adoption.
Al1 right. Senator -- Senator Watson has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 1137. Discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Again, I just want to be clear about what we -- what bills are being cleared for what purposes. Senator Watsone the amendment that you have offered is the full content of House Bill 972. Is that correct?
Senator Watson.
Yes, it is.
Senator Netsch.
85 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June l6# 1989 And, as a makter of fact, House Bill 792 <sic>(972) was a candidate for the agreed bill list; we had no objection to its content. That means that House Bill 972 is beinq stripped for some further activity. Is that correct?
Senator Watson.
Yes.
Senator Netsch.
One last question. Are you willing to share with us what that activity is? And I am not trying to pry into all of your secrets . It's just that we would like to know Where to look for some of the things that we still expect might surface.

Thank you very much. This is the same bill that we passed out of here 54 to nothing or 58 to nothing - something like that. It's the Girl Scout bill. For some reason or other, they didn 't seem to understand over in the House that what we are doing is exempting the caretakers ' homes in the Girl Scouts' and the Boy Scouts ' and the Cub Scouts ' and the YMCA'S camps. This has always been done in the past; nobody asked them to put it on the rolls. Unfortunately, the Department of Revenue decided that they should. Also another portion of the bill that exempts Cantigny, which has also always been exempt before. Nobody asked ko put it back on the tax rolls. It is a museum, and I would ask your favorable vote.
