Senator Watson, on Amendment No. 1.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. This amendment strikes everything after the enactinq clause, and now becomes a -- a quarter percent tax increase. This -- this follows the Madigan plan in regards to the funding for edueation. This would be a quarter percent permanent tax. The difference between this and the - - the Madigan plan is that this would be permanent tax dedicated for educationy earmarked for education and education only. would raise the individual income tax rates to 2.75 percent and a corporate rate to 4.4 percent, effective January lst of -- beg your pardon -- July 1st of this year. 1989. Move for its adoption. STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989
Al1 right. Senator Watson has moved the adoption of Amendment No. l to House Bill 972. Discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Watson, do you know if there are going to be other amendments offered to 972? What I'm trying to determine is whether it makes more sense to go at and raise some questions now at the amendment stage, or let you have your amendment on and raise the questions on 3rd Reading, and some of that may depend on the amendments.
Senator Watson.
Yes. Thank you. No, my intent is that this would be the only amendment, and tbat this bill then would contain the quarter percent permanent tax -- for education only.
Senator Netsch.
Well, let me, at the very least, make sure that everyone's aware of the fact -- aware of what you are doing. One, I think you dve said that this is a -- a quarter percent increase in the State income tax on individuals, and since I am just seeing it, I'm not sure that you do make the same increase with respect to corporations. Thatfs one of my first questions.
Senator Watson.
The corporatp rate would go to 4.4, so there is the corresponding rate increase for corporate. The individual is 2.75.
Senator Netsch. 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989
All right. So that maintains the same eight to five ratio, assume. Okay. So youdve got a quarter percent increase. As understand a1l of this will go into an education assistance fund, which I assume is intended to be either identical to or at least similar to the one that was created in House Bill 490. I'm assuming that that is correct. Now one of the things, it seems to me, that ought to be pointed out about this ls that indeed it is an income tax increase, and indeed is one that is for education only, but if I read the first page of the amendment correctly, the municipalities and counties who are the recipients of the Local Government Distributive Fund would not even qet their one-twelfth share of the increased tax. They would continue to :et one-twelfth of the two and a half percent and the four percent. They would not receive even their normal increase Whenever the lncome tax is changed, which would be one-twelfth of the amount that is being imposed by your bill. Am I reading your bill correctly?
Senator Watson.
Yes, you are. That's quite correct. This will be a dedicated fund, and the the additional revenue would go to education only, and the local governments would not participate in that additional revenue.
Senator Netsch.
Well, I would speak strongly against the amendment then, because it seems to me that even based on your premise that you don't want the municipalities generally to benefit - at least to the extent that they do under House Bill 490 - seems to me an absolute perversion of the revenue sharing that has been in place 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9g 1989 in the State of Illinois since the income tax was first adopted to say that the municipalities and counties will not even share in whatever increase would normally come to them as a part of their one-twelfth proportionate share. -- my recollection is certainly that when We increased the income tax in 1983 temporarily - although there were a11 sorts of things that were proposed at that time - that the munlcipalities did retain their share then. And in any event, that was a rather extraordinary set of circumstances, because the State was actually broke at the time that is, we were in -- our revenues were actually declining at that time, and we were trying desperately to find some way just to maintain revenues enough to be able to meet minimum levels of State service. This is not such an occasion, and while you have a right to propose your education increase, as you generally chooseg think is really a perversion - as I used the word before the entire concept of revenue sharing with cities and counties, to tell them at this stage of the game that they will not even be able to share in their normal one-twelfth. And for that reason alone, I would oppose the amendment.
Further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
If might, I'd like to ask the sponsor a question.
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Demuzio.
Senator Watson, is -- is -- this is a quarter of a percent increase with all the money going into a special fund for education, and this tax increase is permanent: is that correct?
Senator Watson.
10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9# 1989 Yes, it is.
Senator Demuzio.
Is it -- is this the Republican alternative to -- to 490?
Senator Watson.
Not necessarily. It's just my alternative. That's all. ... tmachine cutoffl...
A1l right. Senator Demuzio, I'm sorry.
Well, lt just seems to me that perhaps this amendment is a rather premakure -- that we ought to see what happens to 490 before we have an additlonal proposal on the Table. I mean: that -- if this is a Republican alternative, think that's fine, but I don't know whether or not it has broad range support here. And in -- in fact, it is a permanent increase. I I congratulate you: Senator Watsony for your -- for your courage. Perhaps the -- the voters in your district perhaps are for this, and perhaps, as a matter of public policy, it ought to be permanent. The fact of the matter is that wetve got another proposal here that we ought to vote on first.
Further discussion? By the way, excuse me, Ladies and Gentlemen, WCIA-TV has also requested permission to videotape. Without objection, leave is granted. Further discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. rise in support of this amendment. sure that this is not the Republican answer that 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 wefre a1l -- we 're al1 going to take different positions on this amendment. But for those of us downstate who have been striving to do something for our schools and look at House Bill 490, we recognize that that is -- is temporary: at best, and that it qives away a lot of State money, sta/ts a new program of State sharing of revenues w1th cities, at worst. I think this idea makes a 1ot of sense, particularly for -- for downstate schools, and I would urge your -- your strong support of -- of this measure. I've publicly stated in my district that I could support a modest income tax if the bulk of the money went to education: and certainly that's the case with this one. So I invite you al1 to get on board.
Further discussion? Senator Weaver.
Well. thank you, Mr. President. I -- I strongly support this amendment. And in my district, I've also said I would support a permanent increase in the income tax devoted to education. To answer Senator Netsch's point about the local government distributive formula, *e can at any time change that formula within the existing revenues, but this approach is a dedicated one-quarter of one percent only to education, so we deem it feasible to increase that to which we give back to local governments, we can do that at any time, and not necessarily in this bill. It need not be in this bill. So I stand in strong support.
Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Watson, you wish to close?
Yes, I do. Thank you. Well, I appreciate the discussion and the questions. Last Week We were told that when we offered 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19# 1989 amendments to 490, that they were to be rejected, because -- come up with you own idea. Come up with your own plans. So this is my approach to what I think is a real problem in especially my district and I think most of -- most of our districts, and that's the proper funding of education. I campaigned throughout the last election and said that I could support a modest increase in the income tax if the majority of that money goes to education. In this particular proposal, we're talking about a quarter percent, and all the money going to education. I think that the income tax is the fairest tax. You tax people on their ability to pay . Hopefully this shifts the pressure and the burden off property taxes at the local level. But we want to fund education at the proper levels, and we talk about priority first, we hear from the House, and we've heard about the funding education first from some of you on the other side. This gives you an opportunity to put the money where your mouth is and put the money where your press releases are. Let's fund education. Let's take care of the kids and the schools, and let's don't politicize the issue here in Springfield. I Would appreciate your support on this amendment.

Amendment No. l offered by Senator Kustra.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Kustra.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This amendment is really the language of House Bill 2605, which is a -- one of the major recommendations of the Governor's Legislative Program this year. In fact, I think it's safe to say you wouldn't hear me doing this if it wasn't for the fact that the Governor has placed this as a very high priority this Session. This bill# or this amendment, creates new grant programs to increase scientific literacy, and those grant programs would go to educational service centers, to colleges and universities, and to school districts and not-for-profit organizations for pilot programs which would revise curriculum regarding student literacy in math and science. I would ask for its adoption.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Kustra has moved the adoption of Amendment No. Is there discussion? Senator Berman.
Thank you. Excuse me. Thank you. Mr. President. We could 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 probably play the tapes back on this debate. This is, I believe, at least the third time that I've had to stand up to respond to this. This sounds very nice if we had a11 the money in the world, but we don't. This is the proposal that has a price tag of ten million dollars that was predicated upon an eighteen-cent cigarette tax, and to my knowledge, that doesnlt exist. The eighteen-cent cigarette tax. So I'm not sure where it's going to be funded, but I can assure you that if we pass this amendment, the ten million dollars will be coming out of a 1ot of other programs that we have promised our schools, ever since 1985 and before. So I - with al1 due respect to the sponsor and to the Governor I stand up and urge a No vote on Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 2448. We don't have the money.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Kustra may close.
Thank you, Mr. President. Just to polnt out that is true, there is not a cigarette tax revenue there right now, but there was just recently a revision in the available cash balance by the Bureau of the Budget, and that's upwards of two hundred million dollars. There is no question we are going to have feW dollars - a few extra dollars - to move around to these various programs. I think this is a terribly high priority, and we ought to be about the business of doing I urge adoption of Amendment No.

Amendment No. 2 offered by Senator Topinka.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Topinka.
Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, Amendment No. 2 would provide bonding authority for the Department of Public Health to make grants to school districts for asbestos abatement.

Could I -- Thank you, Mr. President. Did I hear you correctly? This is bondin: authority to the Department of Public Health? What -- to issue bonds to be retired from what? And how were they to be distributed? I'm just not clear that I have -- this sounds like a rather dramatic proposal, and I'm just trying to get some of the details of it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Topinka.
Yes. We once again bring the State back into the asbestos business, which it had promised, you know, in terms of funding to the local school districts, and then kind of backed out and left them high and dry. This basically allows tbe Department of Public 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Health, which regulates the asbestos program, to make these grants when an individual school or school dlstrict would petition the Department of Public Health. They would make the determination and release the bonding, and the State of Illinois would obviously be used as collateral on that basis.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further -- further discussion? Senator -- Senator Rock. I beg your pardon, Senator Netsch, you weren't finished? Senator Netsch.
Well. I'm -- I'm still not sure I heard the -- the basis for the retirement of the bonds and who was actually to issue them and all. It's mostly a matter of just getting clear about what the program is. I certainly have no objection to the State helping on asbestos, but I'm just not clear about how this is working.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Topinka.
Yes. Senator Netsch, theydre just General Obligation Bonds, and would be handled as a1l General Obligation Bonds from the State of Illinois.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Rock.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I would just point out that this matter has been discussed both in the Committee on Executive and then again on this Floor in a Motion to Discharge, Which failed. So I don't think the Senator made a mistake. I think Amendment No. 2 should have been left sitting on the Secretaryls Desk or on her own desk, and I would urge opposition to Amendment No. 2.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Topinka may close. 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989
Well, yes: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I think, you know, We made some very strong commitments to the schools of this State. We dve certainly issued General Obligation Bonds for just about every cockamamie scheme you could have here. We -- we've underwritten bonds for -- for all sorts of things that are far and away different from what think should be the State's business. Welve made an effort here, then said education and schools are our primary objective this year and henceforward. I would ask your support of this to at least get our schools cleaned up, in terms of the asbestos situation, once and for all.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. House Bill 69, as indicated: was a bill of rights for the developmentally disabled. Instead of that, wefve amended this bill noW that it's a service-oriented law. The Department of Mental Hea1th and Developmental Disabilities is still not satisfied with this legislation, and there might be - I'm sure there are some political implications involved with this. We -- the majority of this bill provides a plan for servicin: the developmentally disabled citizens. It also makes it clear that the Act pertains to entitlement to services, rather than rights. This would certainly be a lower-cost factor: and should have engendered the support from the Department. It makes the services outlined in the bill for persons with developmental disabilities permissive, except for the rules for the Department concerning family assistance program for the developmentally disabled children who are mandated and not permissive. The Alliance for the Mentally I1l of Illinois and just about every other citizen group is supportin: this bill, and I solicit your support# and Ifd be glad to answer any questions you might have. 36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989

Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, House Bill 69 and its very, very good sponsor, who I believe is extremely well-intentioned in his dedication to this bill, I think also realizes that We've seen this bill on tWo other occasions. It has come out of this Chamber, but has come out with some pretty significant opposition. It's been vetoed both times by the Governor, who figures that if the full implementation of these services were put into effect, wedre talking about 6.9 billion - that's with a B - billion a year. Although there are some very salient points in here think everybody in the perfect world would like to see many of these things happen - don't think we're anywhere close to being able to afford this. This is -- you 're talking almost about a fourth of the whole State budget just going into this one bill. So I -- I think we ought to reserve our vote on this one, even though it is a nice idea, but impractical at the moment.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Kelly may close.

Well, had understood that -- that they both -- both the assistant and the superintendent were in for a fifteen thousand dollar raise, and -- and my concern was whether or not the 41 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 assistant might be paid more than the superintendent for awhile, but if it's only five percent for the assistant, I guess that's not goin: to result in fifteen thousand, but that was my concern, if you can address it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator O 'Daniel.
Was that a comment or a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
No, I didnlt mean it to be a comment. It was a rambling question. Is the inerease for the -- for the assistant five percent?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator O'Daniel.
Yes, there's -- there's about a twenty-eight hundred dollar average increase the first year for the regional superintendent. Of course, it's based on on their certificate and their qualifications as to the amount of their salary, and -- and it's a $ percentage of the regional superintendent's salary.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I -- I understand that some of you may have a problem with the regional superintendent in Chicago, but frankly, a 1ot of us, including those in Dupage, have got an excellent regional superintendent. He 's not making that much. My superlntendent at Glenbard makes almost three times as much as he does, and it seems to me theydre well entitled to this kind of a raise. 42 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Berman.
I can't give you chapter and line. I don't know Who the problem was, but apparently there was a problem involving an applicant. The question as to their medlcal history and disability came up.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the -- of the Senate. This amends the Public Aid Code: the Income Tax Act and the State Finance -- Finance Act for assistance to homeless funds. Now what this does is -- the donation could be deductible charitable contributions on federal income tax returns for those taxpayers able to retain deductibility as itemized. As of this date, four checkoffs are active on the IL-l040 form - Child Abuse Prevention Fund, Illinois' Game Wildlife Conservation Fund, Alzheimer Disease Research Fund and Historical Preservation Fund. Five checkoffs have been eliminated because theyfve failed to generate at least one hundred thousand dollars annually in refund donation, Which is a requirement of the law. As donation from taxpayer refunds, this program does not reduce State revenue. So 45 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 what it does, it just creates assistance to the homeless funds, and through this checkoff, it allows individuals to donate up to ten dollars or the amount of the refund, whichever is less, to the new fund, up to twenty dollars on a joint return. I ask your most favorable support of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Discussion? Senator Woodyard.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Hall, is this -- this only involves the one checkoff fund, is that correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Hall.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further -- Senator Woodyard.
But it is capped at -- at ten dollars, and it only applies to - - to the refund checkoff? All right, Mr. President, to the bill. There will be a bill later on, with an amendment on it, that is a Department of Revenue bill, that would remove that ten-dollar cap and say you don't have to just get a refund to be able to contribute to some of these particular funds. Certainly I I don't have any opposition to this. but -- but it may be that a later bill we will also want to look at.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Collins.
Senator -- Senator Hall, does this new checkoff in any way eliminate the existing checkoff for the Hungry and Homeless Fund? 46 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989

Now is this -- this is a new one?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Hall.
Well, there are only four on there right now, Senator. Pive of them have been taken off because they didndt -- did not generate a hundred thousand dollars annually in refund donations, which is a requirement of the law. I read off the four that's on here right now, and 1'11 do it again. It's Child Abuse Prevention Fund, Illinois' Non-game Wildlife Conservation Fund, it's Alzheimer's Disease Research Fund and Historic Preservation Fund. Theyfre presently the four that's on there.

Thank you, Mr. President. If I might ask the sponsor a question.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) He indicates he will yield.
Senator Woodyard had raised a question about a change in procedure that the Department of Revenue has requested with respect to the checkoffs, and that is in an admlnistration bill that will be coming up shortly - it probably is on the Agreed Bill List as a matter of fact. If your bill is not in accordance with that revised procedure - which I expect will pass - then I think we will have an opportunity to correct yours before it becomes law, because there is a technical amendment already on 47 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 your bill, isn 't there Senator Hall?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Hall.
You're absolutely correct.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) 49 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 183 is a bill that the Citizens Utility Board has been pushing for the entire year. This is the bill that many senior citizens came down to rally on behalf of only a month or so ago down here in the rotunda in the State Capitol Building. What the bill does, basically, is refers to the monthly access fee and states that a flat rate monthly access fee is not to be allowed. The Illlnois Commerce Commission is to base the access fee on the actual cost of serving the individual who receives the electrical service. Secondly, amendments Were added to this bill that were the subject of negotiation between Senator Jacobs and the Citizens Utility Board, making the Citizens Utility Board more accountable. This bill is -- designede basically, to be revenue neutral. The costs involved - there will be some shifting. We believe that the shift is not going to be tremendous, but we think residential consumers, who try to conserve electricity, should be allowed to reduce their bills, whereas with the current system, you cannot reduce your bill below your monthly access charge. I would be glad to try to answer any questions on this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Macdonald.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in opposition to this House Bill 183. Actually this benefits high-rise dwellers at the expense of farmers, suburbanites, and businesses. A typical home owner's monthly bill will increase if House Bill l83 becomes law. It is deceptive, and I would ask for a No vote.

50 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 Thank youg Mr. President. I have a -- question on really the second part, Senator Welch. The first part, the service cap, I'm strongly in support of. On the part that places some restriction on CUB candidates -- candidates for the Citizens Utility Board, and those who are serving on the boardy do I understand that it has been substantially revised - and I can't find the text in here - so that it does not really, if I may use the expression, gag them, as did at one time? Is that -- could you just describe that in a little bit more detail?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Welch.
Yes. The amendment that you're referrin: to, Senator, was an agreed amendment between the Citizens Utility Board and the individual who sponsored the initial bill. What requires is that the board and each of its dlrectors are to provide district membership lists to certified board candidates. It also prohibits statements intended to influence elections by the Citizens Utility Board, statements by its directors or employees in their official capacity. It's effective January 1st, 1990.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Welch, you wish to close? sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I -- 1, too, rise in opposition to House Bill 183. As I -- as I did when the When the bill was before us some weeks ago. I happen to be a farmer, and -- and I know what the impact on -- on me would be. know what the impact would be on business in Illinois, and you know, I don't -- I don't necessarily subscribe to all the opposition that business and industry and farmers have 51 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 in this State. I think those of you whodve heard me argue on the Floor of this Senate from time to time know that to be the case. But if you simply look at the opposition to this bill, and then look at the people who are supporting this billz I think you 'll all take another look at What's happening here. This is a bad precedence to set. We ought not do it. And as I did before, I rise in strong opposition to House Bill 183.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Mr. President. As Senator Maitland has said, there is quite a bit of opposition to this bill. In fact, the list of opposition increases -- every time this bill comes around. Now in opposition is the Illinois Farm Bureau, The Illinois Industrial Utility Consumers, The Illinois Commerce Commission, The IMA, the Associated Employers of Illinois, The Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, and A E Staley Company, which I believe is located in Decatur. The Illinois Commerce Commission also says that if this bill becomes law, that the winter the summer rates will probably start going up again, as they did the -- they were up the last few years, and theydve been coming down in the last fifteen months or so. And I don't think we want to get back into that bag that we were in before, where the summer rates were so high that consumers were complaining and sending us letters, and we had quite a problem with it. I think this is a bad bill. It's not goin: to help most of us in this State, and I ask for a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Welch to close.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. It's kind of curious, the opposition. What's going to happen with this bill is that eighty 52 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 percent of the customers of utilities in the State will have reduced bills. Now there's been some complaint that the farmers may be opposed to this. Well, 1et me just say that most farmers are on rural electric systems, and that is controlled by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. They are not affected by this bill. And let me just say that some of the utilities in the State of Illinois have charges, eleven dollars and twenty-four cents for Commonwea1th Edison; Illinois Power is twelve dollars. These are the highest in the nation. In addition, 1et me just say that this argument about winter-summer rates, those are artificial rates anyway that are adjusted by the Commerce Commission. They will b' e able to continue to adjust rates to reflect the changes. And it's it's absolutely absurd to state, I believe, that the rates will go up during those periods of time if this bill is passed. Exactly the opposite will happen. Those consumers who rely upon Winter-summer rate differentials are going to see a reduction their bills. This is about the only utility reform bill we have qoin: this year. This is one of the few ways we can help those people on fixed incomes, and I think that is something that we should pass. I would urge an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Lechowicz.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 377 cures a problem created by the Eederal Government system for distribution of private activity bonds and tax credits. It has ceased to address the growing problem in the following ways - - it changes the dates for reallocation to require local government or home rule units to decide more quickly whether to use their allocation. It increases the likelihood that private activity bonds and tax credits will be -- fully utilized. with the possibility of further reduction available private activity bonds 64 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 and the tax credits, coupled with the ever-increasing demand on the cap. House Bill 377 represents Illinois' attempt to maximize its use of these development tools. Thàs bill is supported by IHDA, the Illinois State Scholarship Commission, Development Finance Authority, the Farm Development Authority, and the Citizens Council on Economic Development. know of no opposition. I ask for your support.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he Will yield.
You say there 's no opposition. Has the Municipal League now taken their opposition off -- away?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Lechowicz.
I didn 't know that they were opposed to the bill initially, Ma'am. I mentioned that the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the Illinois State Scholarship Commission, the Illinois Development Finance Authority, the Illinois Farm Development Authority, and the Citizens Council on Economic Development are in support of this bill, as amended.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Karpiel.
Thank you: Mr. President. Senator Lechowicz, do I understand this bill correctly, that between June lst and July 14th the -- unallocated cap money will go fifty percent to municipalities and fifty percent to the State, does it say? And is that municipal -- 65 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 municipalities -- is that excludin: the City of Chicago?
Senator Lechowicz.
Basically, the analysis that you have received in your packet is incorrect. It includes the City of Chicago. It does not exclude it. And the timetable reverts back to the Governor for the allocation of these funds. If you recall, there was a change in the Tax Code last year. The purpose of 377 is to make sure that the State of Illinois has its capabilities to maximize its use of these development tools. The bill, as amended, tries to achieve that purpose.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Netsch.
Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. The question that I was going to ask, I'm going to ask again, because I'm -- I1m just rechecking the bill, Senator Lechowicz. I think it's important to know it. My recollection is that this bill does not include the City of Chicago, and that Chicago's unused bond allocation: if there were any, would not be subject to the reallocation procedures. I know that you just answered that question differently to Senator Karpiel, but would you mind just taking one more look, because I am sure that that is the way it was. I had had a similar bill, a Senate bill, which for some reason didn't pass, but mine also dealt differently with Chicago. Would you mind just checking that?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) Senator Lechowicz.
Well I -- I raised the same question to the Gentleman from IHDA : the lawyer. And he told me it Was included. I asked if 66 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Chicago was in or out of the bill, and he told me was not. hope you're reading the amended version.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Netsch.
You dkd -- I don't think you amended it further in the Senate, did you? All right. Then 1et me just -- 'cause I just found the language. This is on Page ''That portion of volume cap allocation remaining unused by a home rule unit other than a municipality with over two -- million inhabitants, as of May 1 of each calendar year, shall on June l be reserved to the Governor's Office for reallocation pursuant to.'' I think -- so I think that as it came over from the House: it does, indeedg exclude Chicago from the reallocation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Geo-Karis.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he Will yield.
In other words, the excess will go to home rule municipalities, but Will not go to the other municipalities. Is that correct? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOI Senator DeAngelis.
I've asked a question of...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Oh, I'm sorry. Senator Lechowicz.
Let me just point out to you, that was just pointed out by 67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Senator Netsch on Page 5, and it reads, startin: on line ''During the period of June lst through the 14th of each calendar yeary the amount unused of volume cap allocation of home units shall be available for reallocation as follows: (i) Fifty percent of such unused volume cap allocation shall be available for allocation only among home rule units, other than a municipality over two million inhabitants applyinq under this subsection; and Fifty percent of such unused volume cap allocation shall be available for reallocation to the State or State agencies applying under this subsection. Requests for allocation by home rule units and State agencies respectively shall be processed in the order in Which they are received by the Governor's Office.''
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you -- yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. Just for the members of our sidey this -- I know there 's some confusion, but this bill is acceptable. And it is a good bill, because 1111 tell you what's happening is some of the these communities don't use their allocation, or else they go to the State before they use their own. And, frankly, what happens is we end up losing a tremendous amount of available aklocation for industrial revenue bonds. Now the other thing is this, on that fifty/fifty, that's the way it currently is. So when you go back and reallocate, youdre going to reallocate on the same basis that...occurs. The other thing, and for those who are concerned whether Chicago is in or out, and, don't like to see exceptions, except that Chicago uses all of its own anyhow, so doesn't matter whether it's in or out, 'cause there's no reallocation of the amount that they have anyhow.

So youfre saying that anyone who just makes a complaint - files a complaint - that that person's gone?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall.
No, Senator, it has to be adjudicated. You just couldn't walk in and make complaints with somebody and somebody would be dismissed.
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Karpiel.
How is that different than it is now?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall.
Right now it's just a court of competent jurisdiction. We're adding the Words, ''administrative tribunal'' into the bill.

I don 't understand what that is, Senator, I'm sorry. Could you explain it?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) That's okay. Senator -- Senator Barkhausen.
Mr. President and Members, following up on Senator Karpiel's line of questioning, takin: a quick look at the bill and the analysis, it appears to me that the bill would be clearly unconstitutional as a denial of due process. A denial of a person's - in this case - job without due process of law. Due process of law here meaning the right to the -- the supervisory 72 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 personnel the opportunity not only to have the complaint of the allegedly discriminated against employee heard by the administrative tribunal, but also to have a right to an appeal as provided under the Administrative Review Act or other applicable Statute. I think We would be doin: something in great haste here, were we to pass this bill in -- in the face of what clearly would seem to me to be a burden of unconstitutionality, that this bill does not overcome.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Hall -- no# Senator Karpiel.
Well thank youz Mr. President. I seemed to be cut off a little early last time. I just rise in -- in in opposition to this bill. It seems to me from reading the bill that if a -- if a complaint is made against a policy-making personnel -- personnel and policy making is defined in the bill, but it's still very vague - if a complaint is made, even if the -- an -- a judgment is made against him or her, that person, even if they're appealing that -- that judgement, they still would be 1et go from their job. I also had questions about if the supervisory personnel was reinstated and cleared of the charges, are they eligible then for back wages, benefits, vacation time, et cetera? I think this is a very bad bill. I ask for a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Al1 right. Senator Hall, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President. Mr. President, We never Want to do anything around here that's unconstitutional or anything, so for the edification of everyone here, and to see that -- ''Hitterf' Karpiel has her thing resolved, 1.11 move it out of the -- the record for...

Thank you, Mr. Presldent. As amended, this bill now does three things. The original bill, as amended in the House, grants authority to judges in juvenile cases where juveniles are placed on court supervision, to order them from refraining from entering a certain designated areas where they perhaps have committed a crime, or not associating with certain qang members or drug dealers. The second thing it does is incorporate the provisions of Senate Bill 178. That bill provides that if there's an objection in juvenile court to service or venue, that that objection ought ko be made prior to the commencement of the adjudicatory hearinq, which is like the trial in adult cases. And - - and thirdly, an amendment was put on by Senator Davidson, without objection, which was the same as Senate Bill 455, which had passed overwhelmingly, which provides when there's been a juvenile hearing and a minor is alleged to be delinquent because of a drug of alcohol offense or is placed on probation or conditional discharge for such offenses, that the minor may not get his driver's license or be in driver training during the course of -- of that supervision or probation, and upon -- successful completion of supervision or probation, they then become eligible again to seek a driver's license. I1d be happy to try and answer any questions. Otherwise, I would ask for the -- your affirmative vote on House Bill 440.

ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. HARRY) House Bill 466. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readlng of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This amends the Revenue Act for St. Clair County Board of Review . It excludes St. Clair County from the requirement that it elects its board of review from districts. Current 1aw requires that in counties which elect their boards of review, such boards must be elected from districts which are substantially equal in population. This effects Shelby, Vermilion and St. Clalr Counties. Current law also requires the supervisor of assessments to draw the maps of these districts for approval by the county board. St. Clair County has an elected county assessor, not a supervisor of assessment. Thus this bill aims to clarify that St. Clair County is not required to elect its board of review from districts. Third, the bill, by referring to Section 58 of the Revenue Act, specifically relates to St. Clair County only. Section 58, enacted in the late 1970s, authorized St. Clair County to abolish the elected board of assessors in favor of an elected countywide assessor. ask your most favorable support of this bill.

It's a long-term foundation for education funding here in the State. It passed out of the Senate with twenty-three cosponsors and some 48 votes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A11 right. Any discussion? Senator Kustra. 79 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. While Senator Holmberg has adequately described the bill, it is the Fund Education First Bill, and I -- I think really the problem here is that we're we're going about this in reverse fashion. You've had an opportunity on the other side of the aisle on two occasions now to deal with the subject of Whether or not education ought to be dealt with appropriately and of highest and first priority. Last week, of courseg when we debated the Madigan tax plan on 2nd Reading and you chose at that time to reject the attempt to put education first. Just about an hour ago, Senator Watson offered you another opportunity to put education first, and you chose to reject it once aqain. The way you put education first is by putting the revenues Eirst, not by passkng some bill that ks some symbolic statement on how we want the -- the dollars we already have, to be allocated. Under this particular formula, you're going to rob Peter to pay Paul. ïoufre simply going to force somebody to hurt, somebody to suffer, to move a few more dollars over someplace else. That's not the way to go about the solution of this problem, and I urge a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) All right. Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. I Would just rise in support of this bill. This bill isn't necessarily tied to an income tax increase. What it's tied to is any new revenue the State gets. This year We're getting something like eight hundred and eighty-three million dollars, if we ever pin down the final figure, and there is no requirement that fifty percent of that go to education. That's what this bill says. It's simply that. That in tbe future, When we have extra money, one half goes to education. I -- I think it's pretty simple, and I think We should 80 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Leqislative Day June l9, 1989 vote for it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Berman.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill, as I did on Senate Bill 200 when it Was before us. We have moved from seventh in fundin: of the states of this country in education funding to forty-fourth. And I am sure that there isn 't anybody on this Floor Who Will stand up, either today or at campaign tfme. and say that they purposely refused to fund education. But, we have moved from seventh to forty-fourth. This bill is a commitment by each of us that that shouldn't have happened in the past, and within our power, it won't happen in the future. Regardless, regardless of Whether it be House Bill 490, or the Watson program, or any other tax increase. We are saying, as our taxpayer constituents Want us to say, that we've got to take care of education and then address the other issues that confront us. I'm pleased to stand in support, and ask for you to join me in voting Aye on House Bill 515.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I stand in opposition to this bill. You know we 've got a lot of other things going on besides education. I've been a schoolteacher. I've been on the Education Committee for nine years. But I also happen to be on the Commission for Mental Hea1th. also happen to be on the Task Force for Infant Mortality. We have a kot of problems kn this State, and to just take education and make this profound statement with absolutely no intention on -- on your side - on the other side of the aisle - to fulfill it by voting for amendments which puts your money where your mouth is, I think is just good for PR. I think you ought to 81 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 vote against it. I think you ought to conslder the fact that there are other problems in the State, and we have to address a1l of them .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) A1l right. Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. 1, too : rise in opposition to House Bill 515, as I did to Senate Bill 200 when it was before this Chamber some weeks ago. You know, I -- I get a little tired of the news releases that keep going out from this place and talking about how we need to commit fifty or sixty-three percent or whatever else it is to the funding of education. No one has stood before this Body any more than I have and talked about the need to adequately fund education. But I really get upset -- I really 9et upset by legiskatkon that usurps the authority of this General Assembly. We are elected by colleagues to do a job down here, and that job has different requirements every single year. I've been here for eleven years, and no two years are alike. To suggest that at least fifty percent of the new revenue ought to go to education, I think flies àn the face of what we're al1 about. Many of the people who are going to be supporting this bill today, as they did weeks ago, don't support it eithery but it makes good press and good news releases back home. I strongly object to this, and let's do the job that We're elected to do, and that's to fund education and al1 agencies of State government adequately, according to their needs on an individual year. I rise in strong opposition to House Bill 515.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All righk. Senator Holmberg, to close.
Thank youe Mr. President. One of the things about House Bill 82 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 515, as amended for Fund Education First: is that presents a balanced approach. It doesn't take money away from anybody else in order to fund education. It just says that any new money coming into the State, half of it must be spent for elementary and secondary and higher education. Certainly, we have a long way to go in this State. Wefve fallen behind most of the other states in the union, and this gives us that foundation for long-term education funding. It's driving the tax discussion this year. Not a single proposal has been mentioned that doesntt talk about giving fifty percent to education. That is new news for the State of Illinois. We have not had that kind of discusskon before. This is more that just a Senate <sic> Bill, it's a statement, a commitment and a priority. A statement of our intention that education is funded before everything else. A commitment that education is truly our first priority, and is a policy insuring that the great State of Illinois is willing to invest in its future. Once again, I ask you for your favorable vote .

SENATOR CARROLL : 84 k STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. On behalf of Senator Demuzio and myself, we offer to you House Bil1 535, which would add to that list of thkngs that people can ask the State to withhold from their own pay and pay for them , in addition to premiums on life and health insurance, and premiums on automobkle and homeowner, and at the request of the University of Illinois for those employees working in that area, that from their oWn wages can be withheld the charges of the University for parking and then transmitted to the University. I Would be willing to answer any questions, and ask for a favorable roll call.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any discussion? Senator Fawell.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he will.
According to our analysis, says that the fiscal impact could be considerable because of the expense to the Comptroller's Office. Have you got any idea what -- what they're talking about , as far as money is concerned?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Carroll.
No. Senator Fawell, it's my understanding that there's truly minimal expense, any, in that they are already allowing withholding for a ton of items at the request of the employee. They withhold for payment of health insurance from the employee's portion, payment of life insurance from the employee's portion. This would merely add to those items that the employee can check off and ask that the employer withhold and transmit. Theregs 85 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 always some minimal cost by having to look over the form and put it into the computer, but I would daresay that is extremely minimal.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Schuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. This has been amended. As I underskand kt, kt would requite that there must be at least a hundred employees in order for this provision to take effect. Is that a hundred employees statewide?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Carroll.
It's my understanding, Senator Schuneman, that the -- would have to be at least a hundred employees statewide that Would ask that the funds go to that partlcular carrier. A hundred employees in effect, per check going out.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Schuneman.
Well, Members of the Senate: I -- I think this bill probably has a lot more to do with collective bargaining than it does with withholding for the -- for the benefit of the employee. I think what probably drives this idea is the possibility that the State may be required to offer, ultimately, homeowner's insurance and auto insurance to a11 State employees, under some kind of a a qiant negotiated insurance contract, and then deduct the premium for it. I I suspect that those of you who have State institutions in your district might find that the various insurance agents that are writin: this coverage now may not be thrilled about this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) 86 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19g 1989 Senator Weaver.
Question of the sponsor, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he Will yield.
Senator Carroll, does this mean that only a master policy with one anniversary date would be effective, or could there be three hundred and sixty-five different anniversary dates for these various types of policies?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Carroll.
The best of my knowledge, Senator, there -- the anniversary dates would be based on the employee. There Would not be one universal anniversary date, and I say that because, currently, we are allowed this withholding - four hundred employees or more , same as existing - for health and -- and accident insurance and life insurance, and I'm presuming -- and there's no prohibition of anniversary date in those categories. So the -- the law is silent as it relates to those categories. This merely adds a new category and doesn't change the other provisions, so it would be the same as is for health, life and -- and accident. PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOI Senator Weaver.
Senator Carroll, what lkability might an agency of State government have if they failed to renew or pay the premium in the proper period of time?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Carroll.
87 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19 , 1989 I believe kttd be the same as it is now, Senator, in the cases of premiums on life. accident or health. If we withhold, we have an obligation to pay, and to pay in the timely fashion. There would be no change in that one way or the other. Again, this is something that has been allowed in the State 1aw over a period of years, and it's just adding a category for the benefit of State employees. Tbey can now Withhold for life, health and accident, and this would allow the other two categories.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Weaver.
Well, thank you, Mr. Preskdent. Speaking to the bill, I think this is going to present an administrative nightmare for every agency of State Government, and I Would certainly urge defeat of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Further discussion? Senator Carroll, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate . I didn 't realize it was that controversial, especially after Senator Weaver's amendment for the parking in Champaign-urbana to allow the withholding from State employees in order to pay the assessed fees. But this is merely addkng, for the convenience of state employees, the -- subtle, right? Okay. This is adding, for the benefit of State employees: the ability to ask the employer to withhold for these other forms of insurance, automobile and homeowner's, where they can now withhold for healthy accident and life, and I would urge a favorable roll call.

And quite frankly, Illinois has done quite well with bow and arrow, and shotgun. And quite franklyg they kill a deer faster than a handgun Will. Two things Wrong with a handgun. Itls much 90 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 harder to hit the target. And secondly, it doesn't have the killing power that a shotgun slug would have. Itls a bad idea . We shouldn't do it. I know some of the other states do it, but 1, quite frankly, as a hunter, prefer the shotgun and prefer the bow and arrow. And quite frankly, we have not killed any hunters in Illinois with either of those tWo weapons. I don't know whatfs going to happen with handguns. It kind of scares the devil out of me. So, I Would suggest that we vote No.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate . This bill originally started out on its own and -- and eventually incorporated two other prevailing wage bills, 49l and 209. It's a bill that is fairly well agreed upon by al1 parties . There are some exceptions to this from the standpoint of Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, who said they don't want to be covered, but I feel they already are. And the other one that's still in question, is the Illinols -- Development, or the IDF. And I'm not sure if they have as big a concerns as what they indicate, but I ask for your support, and be happy to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any -- any discussion? If not, Senator Hudson.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in opposition to House Bill 568, basically on the premise that thlngs have happened to the bill since it left committee. And Senator Jacobs is absolutely right. What has happened to it is that House Bill -- or Senate Bill 209 has essentially been added to this bill. And what that amendment does 94 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9# 1989 is to drastically expand the definition of public works, so that prevailing wage must now be paid for projects that were not previously included. For example, those projects that fall under the Build Illinois Bond Act and others. So is our feeling that this will tend to drive up the cost of the State doing business, and my understanding now is not only DCCA stands in opposition to the bill, but also the Illinois State Chamber, and also the Associated Employers of Illinois. So I would urge you to think carefully about this: and gould suggest a No vote on this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Kustra.
Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates that he will yield.
Senator, was a little confused about who is for this bill and and who 's against I had originally intended on supporting the bill when it dealt with the provision for some kind of a hearing process for those who violated the prevailing wage. However, the language which extends the prevailing wage into a number of projects financed with bonds from - I won't even go through them all; you know what provision that is. Is that particular part of the bill endorsed by the Illinois Construction Industry, or for that matter, where is *he Illinois Construction Industry on thls bill right now, as amended?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Senator Kustra, I'm glad you asked -- you asked that question, because the -- Construction Industry has signed off on khe bill. There is a hearing procedure in there. The 95 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 Department of Labor has also signed off on the bill, because they want to go after the bad guys. It's their feeling that they have twelve people right now that they should go afterg and -- and do some damage to that -- that are just repetitive bad people that we :ot to get rid of. So the -- the Construction Industry is currently for the bill.
Purther discusskon? Senator Schuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. Well, just to point out to the Members that this bill does something that has been tried year after year after year down here for a long time, and it's always been rejected - and that's to expand the Prevailing Wage Act to the Industrial Development Bonds - something that has failed year after year, and I -- and I don't think We should pass it this year.

On the Order of House Bills 3rd Reading, top of page l0, is House Bill 574. Read the bille Madam Secretary, please.
96 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 House Bill 574. (Secretary reads title of the bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 574 is a bill which amends the Abortion Act to require physicians to determine viability of an unborn child who has reached development of twenty or more weeks. It also requires that the late term abortions be performed in a hospital. This legislation is basically the same as Senate Bill 195, which was before this Body and was narrowly defeated on 3rd Reading. I might add: it had somewhat to do with some colleagues not being on the Floor at the particular time the bill was brouqht up. But it also has a 1ot to do with my not defending the Class 3 felony whlch is contained in this bill. The State statutes on abortion have numerous Class 3 felonies. Just to mention a few, and I intend to give Senator Dunn and Senator Berman a copy of this statute; one, here's a provision in the existing 1aw which provides a Class 3 felony to a physician who does not use a lifesavin: procedure for a fetus which is likely to survive a late-term abortion; another Class 3 felony is provided to a physician who does not arrange the attendance of a second physician when the fetus is viable; here's a Class 3 felony for a physician who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly neglects to preserve the life of a child who is born alive during the abortion procedure. Now I could stand up here all day reading off the felony 3 penalties in our abortion laws, and I might add that most of...which have been held up constitutionally since 1973. With this, I will ask for your support, would please respond any questions and for my two colleagues: here's a copy of your felony 3 penalties within the law. 97 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989
Discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in opposition to House Bill 574 and would like to make a couple of points. As many of you will remember this bill was debated at length in its Senate version, Senate Bill 195, earlier in the legislative session, and on two occasions did not receive sufficient votes to pass. It is now back before us in, I believe, identical form. I'm not sure that it's necessary to repeat in great detail all of the arguments on either side, for that matter. But let me just make a couple of points that I think are really very important. First of all, the vast majority of abortions performed as late as twenty weeks into a pregnancy are performed for only one reason, and that has to do because of a serious health problem of the mother...the woman. Whether it's cancer or high blood pressure, diabetes, whatever, it is because the...there is indeed a serious health problem involved for the mother. Ninety-nine percent...ninety-nine percent of al1 abortions are performed in the first trimester. So that we are not really talking about addressing anything except, as I indicated earlier, those abortions where there is a very serious health problem involved with respect to the mother. The American Medical Association, the American College of...of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have stated in a recent brief in the United States Supreme Court, that the point of earliest possible viability is twenty-four to twenty-six weeks. A full month to a month and a half after the deadline mandated in House Bill 574. Please understand that we are not talking about an ordinary abortion bill; what we are talking about is something that is going to put at risk the lives of a substantial number of women , and that is a1l that is involved in this bill. Please vote No.
98 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Further discussion? Senator Severns.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I rise, too , in opposition to House Bill 574. For any member of the Senate who lives in downstate, it should be recognized that there are no downstate hospitals which perform the services mandated by 574. Therefore, any mother from downstate would have to travel north to Chicago, because at least in the State of Illinois, that would be the closest point to perform the services mandated by House Bill 574. For that reason and for the reasons that Senator Netsch stated, I would urge opposition to this bill.
Further discussàon? Senator Dudycz.
Thank you, Mr. President. I have a question for the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Dudycz.
Senator Kelly, when...when Senator Netsch mentioned the viability of ninety-nine percent of all abortions occur in the...in the first trimester; first of all, I'd like for you to respond if...do you know if that's fact that ninety-nine percent do occur?
Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Senator Dudycz. I'm glad you raised that point. I would say that the vast majority of abortions are in the fkrst trimester. What percentage, I can't give you the exact fiqure . But it certainly Would be the highest percentage. HoWever, there has been an unborn child that has sustalned life at nineteen months, so don 't tell me kt can't be done . It's been done and 99 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19# 1989 don't have to tell you that medical error can occur and it would be very easy for it to be either twenty, twenty-four or twenty-six weeks. So you cannot put a point on it. If the Supreme Court had that medical knowledge, I think they would have put it in their 1973 abortion ruling, which they did not, and that's why it's up to..oto our current medical procedures and whatds...the situation is# so I don 't see that that's a valid arqument at all.
Senator Dudycz. Further discussion? Senator Berman.
Thank you, Mr. President. rose in opposition to Senate Bill l95 and rise in opposition to House Bill 574. The arguments that we gave before are applicable today. If you look at this bill, what we are being asked to endorse is a criminal laW intimidation of one of the most privileged relationships, and that is between a doctor and his patient, his pregnant patient, or her pregnant patient, and we are being asked to impose a State law that is going to do several things. Number one, could compromise the doctor's best opinion as to what ought to be done regarding his or her patient. Number two: as Senator Severns pointed out, it can result in a.o.expensive, serious delay in addressing the medical needs of that pregnant woman. And third, we are being asked to superimpose our opinion as leqislators for that very private relationship between a doctor and his or her patient. It didn't work and it didn't make sense on Senate Bill 195. I don't think it should work. know won't work, and I hope it doesn't make sense on House Bill 574. I urge a No vote.
Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Well, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate: I think wesre spinning our wheels on this bill. The Supreme Court l00 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 of the United States still hasn't made a determination as to whether abortions should be legal or not, and I do think that we should defer taking any action until the Supreme Court of the United States acts on it. And therefore, I'm going to vote Present.
Further discussion? Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President, and Members of the Senate. Well, as other speakers have said, wedve already voted on this bill twice, and rejected it twice, this session. This bill, if passed, would require doctors who believe the fetus to be viable, to perform the abortion in a specialized neonatal hospital. The problem is that these specialized facilities really only exist in the City of Chicago. And donft all the women of our Stateo.odon't they deserve the same protections? These specialized neonatal facilities only exist in Chicago. This is a terrible idea. I think we all know that if, with a capital 1, if the Supreme Court acts in reversing Roe versus Wade: we're going to be back here in a very charged atmosphere dealing with this subject matter. That's the time to deal with this subject matter, if that eventuality takes place.
Further discussion? Senator Hudson.
Thank you, Mr. President. As hyphenated cosponsor of this bill, I rise in support of the concept. 1, for the life of me p cannot understand what is so wrong with a physician makin: a determknation. It seems to me to be that he is perhaps even protecting his own position to some degree, as well as that of a possible infant who may be born a viable. I do not understand why the physician cannot be trusted to make a determination as to the 101 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 viability of the fetus at this particular time. And if he determines in his best judgement that the fetus is viable, then he sees to it that certain life-protectin: measures are put into play. seems to me that this is a reasonable provision, a humane provision, if I may, and should be given serious consideration, I believe, by this Body. And I would ur:e...I would urge support of the measure.
Kny further discusskon? Further discussion? Senator Kelly may close.
Thank you, Mr. Fresident. just want to respond to a couple of the points made by my colleagues. One, about...that there's no downstate hospital and conversely that there are clinics. Well , I...the doWnstate hospital question, for one thing, would think that a mother if...if there is a need, they're havin: an abortion, particularly at viability at a late stage, that they could run into medical complicakions, and I would think you 'd want that mother, and a mother would Want to be, in a hospital facility. And besides that: amongst my biggest supporters on this bill are my downstate pro-life orqanizations, who are very strongly in advocating this legislation. To Senator Berman, what we're asking for within the bill on viability, says that a physician using and exercising a degree of care, skill and proficiency commonly exercised by the ordinary, skillful, careful and prudent physician. I think a Class 3 felony is certainly kn line, and I would ask for your support of this bill.

House Bill 5-8-5. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Berman.
Thank you, -- thank you, Mr. President. This is part of the State Board of Education's Leçislative Package. It would increase by four -- over a four-year period the OBM - Operations Building and Maintenance Fund - for unit distriets from twenty-five cents to fifty cents, in keeping with the rate that's available in the combined dual district rates of twenty-five cents each. There is a backdoor referendum provided in this bill. I'd be qlad to respond to any questions.
Any discussion? Is there any discussion? Senator DeAngelis . SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. I think if anybody had been in the balcony observing us in the last week, they would wonder what type of consistency or philosophy this General Assembly has regarding education and more importantly, educational funding . A few minutes a9o we passed a bill that required that the State, till it reaches fifty-one percent, set aside all new monies necessary to meet that purpose. Last week, through the eloquence of the current sponsor of this, we refused to grant a school district, who had passed every referendum asked or allowed under law, and we refused to give them any additional funding. Also predominant in the newspapers is the talk about property tax relief: and here we are today, about to pass - and I'm sure this things going to pass the largest single property tax increase, without referen#um, of l04 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 this Session. Now, Senator Holmberg, let me tell you why we never reach fifty-one percent. Because we allow, down here, we in fact, not allow, We mandate increases in property taxes that far exceed our ability to generate income taxes to qo ahead and fund education. There's a disproportionate rise in the property taxes versus personal State income. And so here we go again: doing the work - thirty people decidinq what eleven million people in Illinois should be deciding, and that is whether they, in fact: want to raise there oWn property tax rates. Now I know we're going to here the argument about equityg but 1et me tell you, we heard al1 this talk when we passed the increase in the educational rate for consolidated dkstricts. All this consolidation thatgs going to qo on, did it qo on? No. Let's call this what it is. It 's a property tax increase without referendum, and I would urge its defeat. Thank you.
Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Senator, is my analysis correct when it says that this begins in 1992?
Senator Berman.
believe that thatfs in error. It reaches the maximum in that period. It's a four-year increment, starting next year, so that by '92 it Will be up to the fifty cents, so they added a little bit -- the difference between thirty-seven and a half and fifty cents, whatever that is spread out over four years. So the first year there's a small increase, second year, third year, fourth year.
l05 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Senator Schuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN: Well, just to comment. This seems to dovetail with the Democrat plan of a temporary injection of money into education from the State level for two years and then this would kick in, I guess, or be entirely kicked in. Is this some kind of an attempt to transfer even more responsibility on the property tax? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN: In answer to that question, this is our attempt to educate even Republicans' children. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Netsch. SENATOR NETSCH : Thank you, Mr. President. I wanted to add just one piece of information which I came across in my files just now, which is somewhat startling and perhaps says something to Senator DeAngelis and some on the other side. The Illinois State Chamber of Commerce supports House Bill 585. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Berman, you wish to close? SENATOR BERMAN: Just to clarify one comment. Senator DeAngelis final sentence was this is a property tax increase without referendum. There is a backdoor referendum provision in here. This is to provide some equity to the unit districts so that they can levy the same fifty cents for the OBM rates as is allowed in the combined dual districts. I solicit your Aye vote.

It validates the tax levy and appropriation ordinances of downstate forest preserve districtsg and it adds that the downstate forest preserve district validation covers tax ordinances and appropriation ordinances for any proper purpose.

This would allow the St. Clair County Board to -- the County Board to define a building as a location such as -- as Scott Air Base. It -- it's a thing that the bonding company had said we should do.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) l08 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legkslative Day June l9, 1989 The Gentleman from Perry: Senator Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This is the second bill of a series that would allow St. Clair County and the State of Illinois to use Scott Air Base as a joint-use facility so it would relieve some of the traffic -- of Lambert Field. In feasibility study it demonstrated the need for the thing, and the need for the airport, and the feasibility study - the EPA study has been -- is being conducted now. This would allow the debt limitation on -- in St. Clair County to be lifted and taken off so that they would have the bonding authority to help with the Scott Air Base. It's about a three-hundred-and-eighty-million-dollar project with about ten percent of it to come from local sources five percent, think from St. Clair County and five percent probably from the State. I'd be glad to answer any questions. Senator Hall and I are co-sponsors. We'd urge an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Watson.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. I reluctantly rise in opposition. First of all, I Want to clarify that I'm not opposed to the dual purpose airport being -- continued to be investigated at Scott Air Force Base. I -- I'm for that, and it's qoing to have a great deal of economic impact on -- in our area, and what I have done in tryinq to amend this legislation and what I'm doing now in speaking against that, should now be construed by anyone that I'm opposed to the continued search and research on the possibility of a dual purpose airport. But what we're doing here is allowing the St. Clair County to take the bonding limitation off their current lid on the construction for what is now, after the previous bill, will be construed as the airport. Now , the the St. Clair County assessed valuation determines what their l09 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Leqislative Day June 19# 1989 bonding limitations are, and the bonding limitation now is some sixty-five million dollars. What I understand from the people in St. Clakr County: they are using that bonding lkmitatkon up to fifteen million, so they have actually fifty million dollars left of bonding authority with -- even with the cap - the current cap. The sponsor mentioned that the airport roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of three hundred and eighty to four hundred million dollars, We've been told that five percent of would be a local, five percent State, and then the remaining ninety percent would be generated from the federal government. So even under the worst scenarioy the possibility could occur that an -- that possibly if it's a forty four hundred million dollar project, five percent - that's twenty million dollars. That comes up with thirty-five million dollars being utilized under the bonding capabilities now being made available to St. Clair County. That's thirty-five million dollars less sixty-five million, that's thirty million dollars even left after that. I don't understand why we have to take the cap off the -- the 1id off the bondin: authority now made available to St. Clair County. I think this is a bad precedent to establksh. From what I understandv this is something that's not been done in other counties. And I think in the best interest to the taxpayer of St. Clair County and the liability to that taxpayer, that that lid should continue, and I reluctantly rise in opposition to this bill. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Gentleman from St. Clair, Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in support of this, and can understand that Senator Watson -- he has been doing what some of his people have told him in his district, and by the way: it's something that we need. Now if it doesn't -- the Federal Government doesn't come 1l0 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 throuqh with this, then it's a11 for naught. But this is a chance to get a dual airport on this side of the river in Illinois, and we vitally need this.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Dunn, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President. I understand Senator Watson's concern: and we are aware of the fact that the only reason this bonded indebtedness is needed or -- or lift the bond debt is because the bonding authority is Cutler and Chapman. I think some bonding authority said that they should do this. There's a possibility that after we get the go-ahead from the Federal Government, the funds not -- may not be forthcoming at one time, and this would allow St. Clair County for a temporary time to lift their bonded indebtedness till the federal money came through . It's a kind of a necessary bill. We'd urge an Aye vote, and appreciate your help.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Gentleman from Perry, Senator Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President. This is the final bill of this -- of lll STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9# 1989 the Scotk Air Base joint-use facility, and, of course, it's one that We've talked about a little bit before. would grant the St. Clair County -- the authority to operate the airport a right of eminent domain and quick-take, so that in case someone didn't sell there's about probably a dozen or fifteen landowners involved in it - and this would allowg in case of an emergency, that they could use a quick-take law. It'd only be in the case the airport is authorized and that work has started on There will be a year or two delay between now and then, so people will know whether land is in the airport boundaries or not, and they fll have plenty of time to negotiate. But aqain, the bonding council has said we should have the right of quick-take, and I'd urge an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Gentleman from Bond, Senator Watson.
Well. Thank you, again, Mr. Presldent. I again reluctantly rise in opposition to my good friend, Ralph Dunn, and Senator Hall. I first want to make a public apology to the people of Shiloh Valley Township in the area of O'Fallon Township and Mascoutah Township in the St. Clair County area, because I told them these bills would be heard probably tomorrow. So they 're -- they may be here tomorrow, so it's unfortunate that they can't be here today for the final actiong to talk to some of you individually about their concerns. This particular piece of legislation is quick-take. I know some of you have some basic philosophical differences in -- in regard to quick-take as -- as I do. This -- the provisions of this bill would go through the normal procedure of quick-take, and then ultimately the property owner then would be given ninety days in which to vacate the property. And here's a farmer, who's lived on this property and land for generations; been providing for his family; has got a ll2 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 crop in the field; he's got livestock; hels got farm equipment; all this has to be vacated within ninety days. Now hopefully, this doesn't happen, and hopefully, it doesn't occur, but under this law, and under what we fre about to do, it certainly could happen. I tried to amend this. It Would have given the property owners at least two years to vacate. But I think, in fairness to the people that live in this area and in fairness to the people of Shiloh Valley Township and the farmers who have lived in this -- on this property for qenerations, I think that this legislation is wrong, and I hope youdll agree with me and -- and vote against House Bill 629. Thank you.
PRESIDING OEFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady from Cook, Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Dunn, as I understand it, it -- only this bill of your package deals with the one issue of quick-take. voted against this bill in committee and I will do so again, and it has only to do with that aspect of it. I fully understand and am sympathetic to your need to have a joint-use development at Scott Air Porce Base. I'm not in any Way trying to thwart that. But I think quick-take is really a very troublesome concept and should be used under only the most extreme circumstances. I don't see it in this case. I don't see the denial of quick-take as in any way thwarting the project: and it seems to me that some of the kinds of concerns that Senator Watson just referred to, that we heard presented to us in committee, were really quite compelling. I think the project ought to go ahead, but without quick-take.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Dunn, to close.
Thank youg Mr. President. This is a -- a quiek-take Would only l13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 be used in the direst case where if someone, during the process, didn't agree on a price, before they delay the airport for a year of two, they would go ahead and use the power of quick-take. I'm - - I forgot to add a While ago, too, that Senator Raica will put an amendment on, giving the powers to the Village of Summit for the purpose of acquiring -- land for a waste-to-energy plant: so that also has another amendment on it I forgot to mention. I'd urge an Aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Countles of less than one million inhabitants are authorized to establlsh a working cash fund to insure sufficient monies are available to meet ordinary and necessary expense at all time. The county board was authorized to levy an annual tax for not more than any tWo of the years, 1975 and .76, on a11 taxable property in the county, at a rate not exceeding 02.025 percent of its equalized or assessed valuation, to provide money for the working cash fund. The current 1aw provides that the balance of 1l4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Leqislatkve Day June l9, 1989 the Working cash fund cannot exceed the maximum established by the - - levy of the property tax. The bill simply removes the provision, limit the amount of money that may be maintained in the working cash fund. This bill is the same as 4-2-5-5 last -- which passed, and this time welre asking for your most favorable support of the bill.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 648: as amended, does two things. It raises the bid limit for printing paper, stationery and envelopes from fifteen hundred to twenty-five hundred. The bid limit was instituted in 1965, and this change is offered tog you know, to go along with inflation. The bill also deletes Section 9 of the Act, and khat section requires that contracts for paper cannot be made at a price higher that five percent over the wholesale price in Chicago for such paper. The problem is that there is no standard wholesale price book to which the Department can refer. Each vendor will have a different wholesale price, and not a11 vendors are located in Chicago. That's why that section ll5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 was deleted. And I would ask for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator O'Daniel.
Wellr I -- yes, I think the Department of Transportation opposes it. I'm not so sure about the State Police. But what this does, you know, when the bridge formula was passed to allow them to haul up to eighty thousand and al1 the certain measurements, but a lot of these trucks still, especially dump trucks, you know, still have a lot of life left into them, and so they extend this another four years, will probably pretty well use up the life of these very expensive dump trailers that they use in construction that where there is danger of them tipping over when they raise the bed on them.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator O 'Daniel.
Yes. That -- thatls correct, but you know, they always were allowed to haul this till they passed the bridge formula, which is the distance between the -- the -- the rear -- drivers and also the rear -- rear tandems. But if they -- they aren't allowed to use these trucks, then itls a 1ot of expense,.and -- with the construction industry, it'11 just raise the price of construction, because these trucks have a 1ot of life in them, and -- and theyfre used mostly on constructiony and they aren't hauling any more than they ever did.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Davidson.
Well, Mr. President, Members of the Senate, I think you better take a very close look at this bill, and then vote No. This has been floating around on this ''bomber bed'' - and has ko do with short-wheel-based dump trucks - every since I've been here, and I -- it came up the first year I Was here in 173. and we extended and extended, now they dre askinq for another exception, and I've got to tell you, you ought to look at the people who opposed this when the amendment went on. You 've got IDOT, State Police, 119 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Municipal League, Township Officials and County Superintendent of Highways. This is going to allow every bridge that mlght be borderline an opportunity which just happened here this past week over in Senator Demuzio 's district in Pike County, where an overweiqht gravel truck, using this same formula, went through the bridge. Now you :ot -- people along that township road, and it's a school bus router and the township 's broke - they 're not going to be able to replace that bridge. I urqe a1l of you to vote No on this extension of time.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator O'Daniel, to close.
Well, you know, the amendment was put on on the -- on the Floor. But you know, he mentions the ones that are opposed to it, but also it's supported by the Illinois Construction Industry, the Illinois Truckers Association, the Midwest Truckers Association. And these -- these twenty-eight anything less than thirty-four-foot-dump trucks are -- they're not damaging the road that -- that bad, and at least I think the truckers should be allowed to :et the use of these trucks out -- these beds before they have to replace them with longery more dangerous beds.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
senator Berman, my only concern with this bill has to do with a -- a similar bill where you and I have both been on the same side, and I'm not sure that it's a live issue - at this point I don 't thknk it is - having to do wkth whether or not our existing Statutes are -- are in the public domain. And with regard to that particular question, do you -- do you believe that this bill affects the outcome of that debate, one way or the other?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Berman.
Thank you for asking that question, because I think that for purposes of legislative intent, this bill does not address that issue whatsoever. It is to -- addressing a work product that is yet to be developed, and is not to be construed that this bill has any reflection upon the issue of whether our present Statutes are or are not in the public domain.

I'd be happy to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Gentleman from Cook, Senator Keats.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I always hate to rise against a bill, but if you look at the roll call from the committee, you'll notice there are quite a few No votes. Our objection is not the concept. If your license is stolen, you probably should qet it for free. But why do you have to be sixty? If you lre fifty-nine: you don't get it for free. If you lre fifty-four, you don't get it for free. If you're twenty-one, you don't get it for free. You have to be careful to sort of -- wedre always out panhandling the old-timers, saying ''Gee, we want to give you something else for free.'' I can't find any logic to say that someone Who is sixty qets their driver's license replaced for free, someone Who's fifty-nine doesn't. If your license is lost. maybe you ought to get back for free . If l24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19z 1989 it's not lost, Well, then you pay like everybody else. It just gets to the point of saying, ''Why do we do things like this?''

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Question is, shall the Gentleman from Dupage, Senator Philip.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the l25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Senate. I'd like to ask the sponsor a question. This is kind of interesting.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) He indicates hedll yield.
I -- I'm just Wonderinq. I I have found in my worldly travel that some of the smartest people I know are clerks of the court a hell of a 1ot smarter that most lawyers that come kn, quite frankly . And what you're saying now is that a poor person coming in filing a paper, or coming in asking the clerk questions, that -- that they can't take any kind of advice whatsoever - any kind of legal advice?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz.
The -- the Statute now reads I'unauthorized legal adviceg'' as to where to go, what documents are needed to file. That's al1 well and good. This is to protect both the individual coming in and also the clerk itself, that they shouldn't be able to -- to give any unauthorized legal advice. There have been some problems. That's what this bill is here to correct.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Philip.
What's unauthorized? Unauthorized by who?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Marovitz.
Theydre not lawyers.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Philip .
l26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Well, that -- that's kind of interesting. And I I'm going to tell you one thing, I have a 1ot more faith in some of my circuit clerks than I do a hell of a lot of judges in my county and lawyers. And 1111 tell you one thinq, if they want to give a little bit of free advice, I think you ought to take You'd be a lot better off.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis.
You know, Mr. President --
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Do you have any free advice, Senator Geo-Karis?
Mr. Presidentg and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, the free advice I would give my Minority Leader is that whatever you get for free isn't always worth very much. And 1911 tell you something else. If you take the clerk out of that responsibility, and think it's fair to the clerk. So, much as I disagree with my colleaque, I -- I -- I agree with Senator Marovitz's bill.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Gentleman from Cook, Senator Marovitz, to close. And no free >. advice.
Well, this is probably the most noncontroversial bill I have in the entire Session. It passed the House, 1l6 to nothing, and really, all it does is say they cannot give any unauthorized legal advice, but that they can continue to provide advice as to where things are, what documents are needed, but not legal advice, and that's for both sides' protection. That's protection of all partiese and I solicit your Aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 8l5 merely adjusts Illinois Law to make it in concert with now the federal requirement for reporting endowments or gifts from foreign sources. Illinois was one of the first states to pass this law. Federal Government is now incorporated within a public or private. We have amended it to allow the privates a two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-dollar threshold that the Federal Government requires them to report, so that there would not be an extra requirement as far as bookkeepingg and I would move -- I would ask for a favorable roll call.

House Bi1l 822. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady from Cook, Senator Smith.
Thank you, Senator -- Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 822 is a permissive bill. The bill went out of the Senate on an agreed bill -- or passed out of the committee on an agreed bill. What this bill does, it addresses the shortage of child-care workers. It enhances employment opportunities for senior citizens, and establishes an intergenerational sharing opportunity for senior citizens and children. Studies show that the isolation of younq people from meaningful adults' contact may be an important cause of their difficulties in assuming adult responsibilities. The number of elderly people seeking to enter the labor force is increasinq . Retirement benefits, particularly Social Security, are not sufficient. Child care is definitely one of *he jobs that would interest seniors, because of the flexible hours and the nature of the work. Moreoverzseniors are socially productive to young people: and this is an interrelation that adult people can be companions to young people in our society. And What this does is, the kind of care incorporation -- the larqest national chain of child-care centers estimate that ten to twelve percent. of the company's employees are over fifty-fivee and so I'm asking that you give us a favorable vote on this bill. It's not a -- controversial. It's purely a permissible bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Gentleman from Mcclain, Senator Maitland. Before we get l31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 to that, though -- thank you. Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. Members of the Senate, I stand not to argue the program, Senator, that's not the issue. I think today, the issue is the cost of the program, and we really have not provided for the funding for for this leqislation. I just believe that the Body ought to be aware of that. That this is a -- a eost that wegve not built into the DCFS budget.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady from Cook, Senator Smithy to close.
Thank you. Senator Maitland, I know that, that there -- it's a permkssive billz but you remember just a few minutes ago you passed a bill out almost of the same nature with a large sum of money. I'm only asking this to be permitted and become law, that We might be able to do this and when the money is provided. It is permissible, that's all.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) No, wait. 892's on Recall. Right.
House Bill 901. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill. l32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady from Cook, Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. The subject matter of House Bill 90l is children suffering from chronic infectious diseases, and approaches the question in tWo ways. One is to create an offense of educational intimidation when a child is is knowingly prevented from attending school or otherwise participating in his or her educational experience unnecessarily, and presumably on the basis of a disease. That is deflned, and the penalty is a Class misdemeanor. There's also a correlative action for damages provided. The other part of it is -- is probably more important in the long run, and that is to require school districts to develop a policy for dealing with children with chronic infectious diseases on an individual case-by-case basis. While it is certainly not confined to children with AIDS, it is obviously aimed primarily at children with AIDS. And I would say I think that probably the one that we would hold up as the model for how to treat a child who does have AIDS in a public school system is the Village of Wilmette and the school district there, whlch did a fine job, which I think was -- very proudful, really, to everyone involved, that is the parents, the children - yes, I just made that word up, Senator Demuzio - the parents, the children, the superintendent and everyone involved. This is really designed to encourage every school district to take the same approach.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Discussion? Senator Schaffer.
I believe this bill mandates each school district to develop a policy?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. l33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19# 1989
It makes among the duties, to develop policies and appropriate -- relating to the appropriate manner of managing children with chronic infectious diseases, et cetera, yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schaffer.
And it's supported by the School Board Association, ED-RED, et cetera?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Yes.
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schaffer.
In other words, another unfunded mandate supported by the School Board, ED-RED, et cetera. Just Want to get that in the record.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- Senator Netsch.
Let me further respond to that question. It 's supported by ED-RED, SCOPE, State Board of Educatione Department of Public Health and the Illinois PTA -- Illinois PTA. It is nok a mandate in the sense that you are raising the issue and that al1 of the others raise that issue. It does not require anything except for them to have a policy on how to deal with children who are so afflicted. That is not costly, to have a poliey.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? Senator Watson.
134 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 Yes. Question of the sponsor, Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates she will yield. Senator Watson.
What is a definition of educational intimidation?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
That is the Whole first section of the bill, Senator Watson. ''when he knowingly interferes with the right of any child who is or is believed to be afflicted With a chronic infectious dksease ko attend or participate in the activities of an elementary or secondary school in this Statee'' And then there are one, two: three manners in which that ability of the child to attend school can be interfered with.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Watson.
Another question, if I might. So if - and this happened in our in my -- not my district, but in my area - we have a student who has the HIV virus, this is an emotional issue with the parents, and they go to the school board and ask the school board that that child no longer make their presence at the particular school, and Would educate that child in their home or whatever. What -- what would happen to those people who go to the school board and voice their concerns about that child being in the classroom?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Well, if I heard your statement of facts correctly, that is, can a parent just go and talk to a school board and tell them, l35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Leqislative Day June l9, 1989 'Yes, we don't like this,'' that vould not bi a violation of this: because they are not as defined in the bill. They are not obstructing or interfering With the capacity of the child to go to school. They are expressing their views. But they are not in any way actually -- or threatening physical harm to the person or property of the child and so forth. These are the things that are defined in the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Watson.
To the bill, then, I -- I understand Where youdre headed, and I felt certainly sorry for the family and the individual, and especially the child that was involved in the situation in our area. But I do think that, because of the emotion involved with this particular issue and especially the AIDS situatkon, that to make it a crime for our people to voice their concern, in fact , in protection of their own child, possibly, I think is -- is going a little bit too far, and think that we ought to reject this legislation. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Welch.
I had a question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor kndicates she wkll yield. Senator Welch.
Senator Netsch, in committee one of the questlons that was raised was the definition of chronic infectious disease . Did you put an amendment on defining that term?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
l36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 No. We talked to the Department of Public Health: and I will read you the definition which they would have given us, and I -- I think you may understand why we decided not to put it in the Statutes as such. What I Would like the record to show is that We intend that terminology, ''chronic infectious disease,'' to be as defined by the Department of Public Health, and they have it within their knowledge: because it's a concept they deal with. But here is the languaqe they would have given us, and we thought - - thought it was better not to include it. 1'A long-lastingv probably lifelong infection which cannot be controlled by antimicrobial medications and whose etiologic aqent can be transmitted directly or indirectly to other persons.'' I decided there would be more confusion to put it in the Statute, and that it would be better simply to say that it is a term that is known and used and -- and is comfortable with the Department of Public Health, and it is their definltion that we would use.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Thank -- thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor, although I -- I think it's largely rhetorical. As I understand the Class C misdemeanor in the crime of attempt, a school board member who would make a motion to keep such a child out of school could get up to thirty days in jail and a thousand-dollar fine. Is that not correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
Al1 right. I -- I was looking for the language, Senator Hawkinson. Subsection A does not apply to the actions of school officials or the school's infectious disease review team who are acting within the course of their professional duties and in l37 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 accordance with appllcable law . I do not think it would apply in the case that you 've described.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Davidson.
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates she will yield. Senator Davidson.
Senator Netsch, I understood there was also some discussion in the committee hearing - wasn't present with you and the sponsor that the State Board would not be able to set down a rules, as you're proposing this law. My understandin: is the local board -- the local school board 's authority is being usurped by the State Board of Education as to for -- as the rules they have to abide by. Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
No. We looked at the language again, and I think that is not correct. That question was raised, you're right, Senator Davidson. The only thing that is said about the State Board of Education is that it's going to develop policies relating to the appropriate manner of managing children with chronic infectious diseases, not inconsistent with guidelines published by the State Board of Education. So that it is the State -- the local board of education's responsibilityy and the only thing that the the State Board of Education will be doing at all will be suggesting some guidelines which will be helpful to, but not mandated to: the board of education.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hudson. l38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989
Thank youy Mr. President. Senator Netsch, a question you can clear up for me, you will, please, and that is# under the provisions of your bill, does this in any way affect the right of the parent to make a determination as to whether little Johnny or Jimmy or Janey can go to school on a given day? The parent thinking, perhaps, the child has some sort of infectious disease, says to Johnny, ''I don't think you ought to go to school today or maybe tomorrow or the next day.'' Does that parent still have the right for that determination -- to make that determination?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
No. The parents' rights are not affecked by this bill, and they are not intended to be affected by this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President. I got a question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates she will yield. Senator Kelly.
Senator Netsch, it seemed to me like there was legislation proceeded through the General Assembly that required school boards to prepare a plan to deal with students that are infected with AIDS or other serious diseases. Can you tell me of the status of that proposal?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
I do not recall that legislation, and staff advises me that they do not recall it either. I think one of the -- the reasons 139 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Leqislative Day June l9, 1989 for Representatkve Dunn's bill was to suggest that before they get taken by surprise, a school district ought to think ahead and have its own plan and program and policies, so I don't believe there is any such legislation on the books. If so, has totally eluded us, Senator Kelly.
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates she will yield. Senator Raica.
Senator Netsch, presently determinations Whether a child would remain in the school or not, would that be determined by the local school board at the present time? I guess one of my concerns is, why would we be taking steps to take some kind of authority away from the various different school districts or the school -- the school boards. I -- for some reason, I -- I don't -- I -- I fear that's what -- what's going to occur. Secondly. when you described in your statements regardin: chronic infectious disease, you said that we 'd be going by, I guess, the Board of Health's standards that they have, and the fear that I would have is you may have each judge trying to make a determination on -- or by himself, without referring back to the school boards as far as what exactly falls into chronic infectious disease. I mean, is this specifically AIDS that you are talking about, or -- are we -- are we talkinq about tuberculosis? What are we talking about here?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch.
No, it does not specifically use the expression AIDS, and is not confined solely to that. think the discussion I had l40 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 earlier with Senator Welch is intended to clarify that. We -- we thought about - and the question was raised in committee about putting in a definition that the Illinois Department of Public Health uses, and we got their definition, and as I indicated, I thought it might sew more confusion than enlightenmenk, and so what I thought might be preferable, rather than trying to -- to -- END OF TAPE TAPE 4
write this rather complicated-sounding definition into the Statute would be to make it clear on the record, right now, that that expression is as defined by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and it is a term with which they are comfortable and one that is Eamilkar to them -- chronic infectious diseases . I thought that would be simpler than simply 7- than trying to write this somewhat complicated definition into the Statute.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Raica.
Senator, what about the -- the question that I started with, reqarding determinations that are made presently by -- are each of them made by the local school boards? In other words, are we infrinqing on a parent's right to possibly keep their child home and not going to school because of another child that may be infected? I just -- I hate to -- to infringe on the rights of those parents now.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Netsch. l4l STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989
This is not really dealin: with parental rights to decide when a child is sick and has to be at home or whatever. This is really directed at - -- if I can use this expression - outside forces Who may forcibly try to keep a child from going to school when everyone else is willing to have that child go to school. That's the intimidation part of the Statute. It doesn 't interfere with the parent's right to decide when and where as -- as it is allowed right now under existing law, and I assume that is the parent's right right now. The other part of really, which is equally critical, is that a school district really ought to have a policy . They oughtn 't to be taken by surprise on something like this, so that they get into the kind of -- of emotional problems that some school districts have. The most notable, of course, was the one in Indiana. The idea is that a -- a district and a board ought to sit down and say, ''These are our guidelines; these are our rules,'' and then theylre ready to apply them if the occasion arises. But again, going back, it -- it doesn't affect parental rights.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion. Senator Schaffer, for a second time.
Well, I think this is a -- frankly, a very important policy decision that welre making here. But let me suqgest to you that what we are effectively doin: is prohibiting school districts from prohibitin: children with infectious diseases whatever the nomenclature is - from class. And the implication of that is going to be that the school boards - and now I understand Why they 're all for it - are going to say, ''We1l. we don't really have any choice; the Legislature has decreed that we have to admit this child.'' And maybe that's the way it ought to be, but let me suggest to you that individually, as these cases come up and regrettably, fear they will - that the school boards will hide 142 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June l9, 1989 behind this laW and pin the blame on uE: and wi11 not make a decision, because they will contend they don't have the right to make a decision. It's -- you know, it's a tough decision: but I think everyone who votes here ought to understand that at some point in the future, there 's likely to be a problem in your district, and if school boards do what sometimes they do, they're going to say, ''Not our problem. The Legislature forced us to do this, so you unhappy parents, here's the phone number and address of your local legislators, and get them to change the law.'' They will probably fail to mention that they actively supported the change in the law, but then, that wouldn't be the first time they 've done that. Again: I'm not sure whether it's not a step in the riqht direction, but clearly I thlnk everybody here ought to understand What they're getting themselves into.
Further discussion? If not, Senator Netsch may close.
Senator Schaffer and others, let me just suggest that I think you may be misreading what is here, in terms of the school board policy . This does not suggest that the school boards have to adopt a policy which will admit every child under whatever circumstances. The whole point is, they got to think about and have some policy which is their own policy. And the most critical part of is, the policies and rules - those are the ones to be set by the local board OE education - must include evaluation of students with a chronic infectious disease on an individual case-by-case basis, and may include different provisions for different age groups, classes of instruction, types of educational institution and other reasonable classifications. The Whole point is that there is discretion. The discretion should just be exercised before someone physically stands at the school door and says to a kid, ''You cannot come to school any longer. You have l43 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legislative Day June 19, 1989 been a student at khis school,'' -- but somebody is going to stand there from the outside and say, ''No: you are barred from this day forward.f' The main thing is that everyone think about it ahead of time and have their policies worked out.
Question is# shall House Bill 90l pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. And the voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have al1 voted Who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who Wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 3Q Ayes, 25 Nays, 2 voting Present. House Bill 901, having received the required constitutional majority, ls declared passed. A1l right, Ladies and Gentlemen, wedll noW revert to the Agreed Bill List, as we announced earlier, the hour of 4:30 having arrived. If I can have your attention before everybody moves aroundg tomorrow morning we will commence at nine o'clock, and we Will do House Bills 2nd Reading - the substantive bills and then the appropriation bills. And then the Secretary informs me there are a number of bills again on Recall. Wefll try to accommodate the Members on the Recall and then go back to 3rd Reading. So nine o 'clock tomorrow morning. The Secretary informs me that reading of the Agreed Bill List - and you've all been provided with a list of those that have been removed. Most have been removed, might say, by -- by request of the sponsor for obvious reasons. In any event, you dll see 'em again on the Recall List, I'm sure. It will take approximately one hour to read a1l these bills, so the vote will be approximately at 5:30. I would ask the Members just to kind of stay loose until the bills have been read a 3rd time, and then we will take the vote at 5:30, and have concluded our business for the day. Senator Philipe for what purpose do you arise, sir?
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. 144 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 49th Legkslative Day June l9# 1989 I wish the record would indicate that Senator Mahar's been missing today because of a death in the family. He just got back here about 3:30.
A1l right. Senator Mahar, welcome back. We sympathize with your family difficulty. Senator Hawkinson, for what purpose do you arise, sir?
For purposes of an announcement, Mr. President. Tomorrow evening at 7:30 Springfield Express plays Italy in a basketball game, and at halftime there will be a Democrats versus Republican basketball qame at the Convention Center, and everyone's invited.
A1l right. If I can have your attentiony Ladies and Gentlemen. Page 25 on the Calendar. We are on the Order of House Bills 3rd Reading.
