Senate Bill 1482. lsecretary reads tktle oE bi1l) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Welch.
Thank youz Mr. President. As of January 1st, 1991, the Emission Inspection and Testing Law Will be sunsetted. Illinois faces the choice of either reenacting that legislation or allowing to expire. If it expiresp there Will be a penalty of three hundred and fifty million dollars imposed upon four counties on their transportation programs, by the Federal Government. The four counties who will lose the three hundred and fifty million dollars directly for their particular roads are Kane. Dupagey Lake and Cook Counties. What this bill will do ts reenact the Vehicle Emission Inspection Law, make it effeetive through January 1st, 1996. It also adds some area - the rest of Du Page County and the rest of Lake County, together With a1l of Cook, Whëch is in the current bill. Currently, Du Page and Lake Counties are broken down by zip codes. What this bill will do is exkend the law to the county lines: as well as the Cook County line. An amendment to the bill, put on this week, adds a three-part tamper check, that has not been done in the past. What the three-part tamper check is, is that an inspector will check your automobile to make sure that your catalytic converter hasn't been tampered with: to 81 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 I make sure the automobile has a :as eap, and to make sure that your fuel inlet restrictor, the pipe going into your tank, hasn't been removed so that you can put in keaded fuel, as opposed to unleaded fuel. The additions that we have in this bill will bring the Illinois Vehicle Emission Testing Program into complianee with a United States Environmental Protection Agency - State of Wisconsin settlement agreement. We were served by the State of Wisconsin for sending pollution up the lake coast to Wisconsin. The Federal EPA agreed With Wisconsin, and they have forced us to make changes in our law. These changes would put us in compliance and allow the State ko not lose the three hundred and fifty million dollars as well as extend this program. I'd be qlad to answer any questùons.
Any discussion? Discussion? Senator Macdonald.
Thank youy Mr. President. Senator Welch, I certainly have to agree with you that this State cannot possibly afford to lose the three hundred and fifty million dollars. We discussed this in committee very thoroughly. There is another bill out there of Senator Philip's that we think is a more moderate bill. The whole issue of emission testing is highly controversial, and if you have not experienced it in your county - and I guess you have not - I can tell you that there has not been anything that has passed this General Assembly in the last decade, that I can think of, that has raised as much furor as when we passed the emission testing bill. Now, Senator Philip's bill really is limited fairly much to just the three elements that you put on as an amendment to your bill, and I think that lt would be the better part of wisdom for usy hopefully, to see if We can get enough compliance With that modest technique, rather than going as far as this particular bill goes. I -- I can just you tell that by expanding this emisslon testing 82 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 I program into al1 of Lake and into Dupage, it -- it will -- Will really cause a kot of resistance that we have not heard before, and it will be very difficult for those, not only the legislators, but for the citizens that live in those committees <sic>. We certainly want too. It is necessary for us to clear up the pollution problem, and I -- I agree to that, and I don't want to lose the the money. But if we feel -- and we have been given to understand that the three elements added of the testing would probably do the job. And so with that in mind, I would just recommend to the General Assembly that, particularly to the Senate Members here, that We take a look at Senator Philip's billz which is a more moderate bill, and see if that one wouldn't do the job. Thank you.
Further discussion? Senator Hall.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
Sponsor indicates he Will yield, Senator Hall.
Senator -- Welch. Wetve had - Senator Welch - welve had a lot of people down in my area, that have asked me the question, f'How do cars pollute by zip code?'' That is something that is very hard for us to explain. Now I understand that that's still in the bill, right?
Senator Welch.
As to the East St. Louis metropolitan area, that would remain the same. Yes. The area that we are changin: is subject to a lawsuit in the Cook County, Lake, Dupage County area.
83 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 Senator Hall. 1 I SENATOR HALL: Well, I think that anyone sitting on this Floor will realize What a tough decësion that is to make. I am in accord with -- I want to see clean air and a11 of that, but the big problem we have -- if you live Within a neighborhood -- who -- my area is surrounded by -- those people do not have to have their car tested, because they are in a different zip codes. The cars come in there, stay there, many of them work in that area, and al1 they have to do is give an address outside that area and you don 't -- your car doesn't pollute. But you see where the problem is, that I see at the time. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank youz Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I too, Was present at the previous hearing. I think there is something here besides the dollars that We have to look at also, if we are really concerned about air quality. If my memory serves me right - and Senator Welch, you can correct me if I am wrong - I think the year before last there were four days that they Were out of compliancez and last year there were twenty-two days that we were out of compliance. And, you know, ! the -- the question of whether the fact that Senator Philip has another bill that is more moderate -- far as I am concerned, send them both out of here and 1et them find out which one they like the best. I think it's a good billy and I think we ouqht to pass it. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Philip. SENATOR PHILIP: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. i I 84 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9: 1990 And certainly am aware of the problem. I happen to think that the problem is a problem in the metropolitan Chicago area al1 of the collar counties -- al1 six of it. And to think thak you would just pick on Dupage and Lake, and just inelude a1l of them and leave out Wi1l, Kane and McHenry, because quite frankly, al1 those people commute to the metropolitan area, and help create bad fumes. My other suggestion is -- I am working with the EPA and I hope that I Will have this concluded by tomorrow at the least. As you know, the newer cars don't flunk the test. There's like 1.3 of the '90 cars flunk. The '89 cars are like and the older the cars you get, the more of them flunk. My suggestion is not to test the newer cars as often as you test the older cars; it makes some kind of sense. one of the problems in my area is, people don't like to Wait in line to get their cars tested, and that is exactly what they are doing. Under my schedule of testing, you wouldn't have to test the new cars as often as you do the old cars. I should have that, I hope, tomorrow at the latest. Would hope to put it on the -- on my bill, and hopefully Will pass it out and and I think will solve the problems. So at this point, I am going to have to oppose your billy Senator. hope that we see some red lights up there.
Further discussion? Senator Hudson.
Thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen of Ehe Senate, I too rise in opposition here. I attended -- Mr. Sponsory as you may recall -- we had a meeting in Chicago. And one thing I was impressed wlth was the fact that we have a ranse of options. The EPA does not seem to be insisttng upon strictly a geographic enlargement here, but rather, they would allow us to choose from a number of options. And we have those either coming with Senator Pate Philip 's bill or others. But I think a 85 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 geographic expansion here is not the way to go, at this point. think it would impaet heavily upon our area - at least the one I represent and I would encourage a No vote on this.
Further discussion? Any further discussion? Senator Welch may close.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. The -- in committee Senator Philip did state that he had an idea to expand the program to other counties. We haven't seen that idea yety and frankly think it might be a good idea. I've got no problem With that. But the problem is, Senator Hudson just stood up and said his objection to my bill is that we are expanding the area. Senator Philip's objection my bill is that I am not expanding it far enough. So I can 't please both of you folks. It can't be done. But the thing to remember here is that we have to pass a bill to reenact the Vehicle Emission Testing Program. If we donft: three hundred and fifty million dollars in federal funds is going to withheld because We are in violation of federal attainment statutes. It's going to withheld just in those four counties. Those Who were at the hearing in Chicago know khat the Department of Environmental Protection said it's goin: to Withheld from Kane, Lakey Dupage, and Cook for speclfic projects in those areas. It may not affect us downstate after all, so it's your own loss this doesnlt pass. But the fact that we did have twenty-two days of noncompliance in 1988, and four days last year, indicates that individuals could not leave their home because of air pollution. They had to stay home because of respiratory problems. They had Warnings -- you see them on TV a1l the time during the summer. And this is something that people need, and want: is clean air. This is one of the few environmental bills that we have out this year. Its one affecting not just the metropolitan areay but itfs 86 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY . REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 one affecting downstate as well, around the East St. Louis area. I think that it behooves all of us to be voting for clean air. It behooves all of us to make sure that we keep getting federal money, especially as we cut our own budget by some five hundred million dollars, and I would urge an Aye vote.

Senate Bill 1504. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readinq of the bill.
Senator Lechowicz.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1504 requires that kbe County of Cook adopt its annual appropriation budgetary process by December 1st, of 1991. Baskcally, what we are dolng ks We are making sure that the appropriation and *he fiscal year starts on December the 1st. Current law only requires that Cook County to adopt its annual appropriation bill within the first quarter of each fiscal year. This btll would require Cook County to follöw the practice of most uniks of local government, having the appropriation process start at the fiscal year which uould be December the 1st. Now this was anitemthatWasdiscussedbyal1thecandidateswhowere running 1 90 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRKNSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 for the President of the Cook County Board in Cook County this past primary, that the appropriation and the fiscal year should run similarly as lt does in the State government and other units of local government: and for that reason I put in this bill. It also received the endorsement of b0th papers in the City of Chicago. I know of no other opposition. I would be more than bappy to answer any questions.
Discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank youy Mr. President. I concur with what Senator Lechowicz sakd. The wonders of Cook County budgekary process are that somewhere well into the appropriations year, there comes on a Eriday afternoon a documenk, vhich is called the budget. Amendments are accepted the following Monday, the vote is taken, and tbe budget is passed. Very little of a process exists. This insures that a budget has to be presented before the year and acted upon.
Further discussion? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATSI A question of the sponsor. Thks ks a excellent idea. Could I amend this to add the State, so that We have to pass a budget before the next fiscal year tooe with the same provisions? It would probably be good for everyone we work to -- we work with too, if we required the Gtate to do this. Could we add an amendment like that?
Senator Lechowicz.
We already do that.

Senate Bill 1518. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator collins.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 1518 is a alternative incarceration program designed to relieve the prison system in Illinois of some of the overcrowdedness. This is a bill that I introduced last year with identical as Senate Bill 623, which was a package of alternative citizens bills that I inkroduced last year to deal with the problems of overcrowding. However, in working with the Department last -- year and We were able to get passed the expansion of the prison industry, so that We can create more jobs and job training programs for the inmate. And upon their request, I held this bill on the Floor and in committee and I didn't move it. Howeverr to my surprise, I saw that the Governor made this his top -- one of his top initiatives for prison reform this year. I'm really delighted to see that he has signed on to this programe but I can assure you it is not a new initiative. I started working on it in 1982 -- in '8l and '82 Session. We've added one of the other bills to the boot camp concept, which does not cost any money. As a matter of fact, it's a diversion center, which is another bill in that packaqe that I had last year. It really 'saves the State of Illinois moneyz because what it does, it takes - - provides for alternative programs for those persons who violates their parole. According to the -- to the Department, about two hundred and fifty inmates per month violates their parole and have to go back into the prison system. So I am sure 93 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 that most of you know what it costs to house a prison, Which is about two thousand dollars mean twenty thousand dollars a year in that system . Many times when they qo back into the system to serve out that time that they have left, they often end up into other infraetions which they then begin -- and have to serve even longer sentence and we have to pay. So there's a diversion division to this, which allow these people to be in the community: refocusing on rehabilikation, job training and jobs, counselingg so that they can go back into the community as productive citizens, and hopefully we Will reduce the prison population by stopping that revolving door which currently exists. I will be happy to answer any questions. If not, Would ask for a favorable roll call.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1522 is a permissive bill that would allow school districts in suburban Cook County the option to opt out of the township school trustees system. At ehe present timee every suburban school district in suburban Cook, only, must handle their monies through the township school trustee system. This is a system that goes bàck to 1819. 1* may have made sense then; it doesn't make sense now. There may be good relationships with some of those township school trustees, and therefore this bill is optional, based upon the determination of each local school district. I'd be glad to respond to any questions, and I solicit your Aye vote.

And it's loqical. It's more efficlent, and we want the money to be used for the schools, not for another layer of bureaucracy.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Geo-Karis.
Hello. I'm sorry. Just so that we are clear on it. ehen iC we eliminate them under your bill, then the school board ikself is going to be the final determinator about the sale and exchange of property or lease of property. I have no objection eo it.

As you knowg I Aave supported these in the past.

I can't find T don't know where they came up With but promised that I would ask you, so that's what I am doing.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Berman.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President. I was the only legislator in committee that opposed this bill, and the reason was that there are school treasurers that are doing a great job, and Who have done it for many years. And regardless, this work is still going to have to be done by the school district, and I just think to use one instance of where there has been an abusez to eliminate an area that's been doing a great jobg I think is a mistake. And therefore I oppose this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, don't know that this bill is limited by far to just one lnstance 97 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 in Senator Berman's district. I have fkve townships in suburban Cook County, a11 of whom -- al1 of which are in support of this bill, because these schools are quite capable of handling their own investments, should they Wish to opt out of the system . They have requested this over and over again. So from the standpoint of that, they can save money in their opinion, and they would rather put that money into such things as hirin: teachersy instead of just passing out extraneous money. We would also like to see more investment on the part of our local districts into local banks, because needless to say, these are nembers of our Chambers of Commerce. They 're the ones that provide the home loans and the car loans and other loans for businesses and things of this sort. It's a veryz very good bill. It is -- it does provide the option. And I would hope everybody who has a11 or part of suburban Cook County would help in promoting this bill and would indeed insure its passage. PRESIDING OFPICERI (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion?

Senator Dehngelis. 98 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 SENATOR DeANGELISJ One of them's a supporter of this bill. I rise in opposition to Senate Bill 1522. You know, trying to make this voluntary would be like making Social Security voluntary. It would collapse under its own weight. The intention is well, but the fact is, it cannot work. There are, Senator Berman: many school districts who eannot -- cannot do the work that the township treasurers are currently doing. Yes, there are some schools that can handle thatz 'cause they have the computer equipment and they have the staff to do it. There are many small school districts Who do not have the investment clout thatz on a combined basis that the toWnships ean provide, allow them to maximize their investment return. And speaking of abuse of this particular office: let me point out to you that the first and most significant abuse occurred when in Northfield Township, the trustees there decided that they would use the business manager of one of the schools as the treasurer, refusing to hire onez and that little sucker ran off wieh three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So letls not talk about the abuses under this system, because without it those abuses were far greater.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Further discussion? Senator Kustra.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. To differ a bit with Senator DeAngelis, would remind him that a11 units of local government to eross Cook County have the responsibllities, which Senator Berman is suggesting we vive school districts in Cook County. by virtue of Senate Bi1l 1522. We simply do not take park districts and eities and say, well, smaller eities can do this and larger ones cannot. Smaller districts can do this and larger ones cannot. If you are a bona fide unit of local government in Cook County - or any other county for that mateer 99 I . STATE 0F ILLINOIS 1 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY ' REGULAR SESSION ' SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislaeive Day May 9, 1990 you have the finaneial responsibilities which Senator Berman is suggesting belongs in the hands of the school districts, whose members are elected by their local people. I think Ehis is a very good piece of legislation, because it does use the option. It doesn't force anything on anybody, but it certainly gives them the opportunity to move forward into the twenty-first century with the kind of accounting systems that I think school districts deserve and want. This is a good bill, and we ought to give it an Aye vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further diseussion? Further discussion? Senator Berman, to close.

think the bill is well-intentioned, but I -- 1 -- question 103 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislaeive Day May 9, 1990 whether we ought to be setting up an immunity and then letting an association set the standards without us having to -- to see them at all. I'm wondering if we might hold this bill for a day or two and and look at a possible amendment. I think to -- you know -- to let them set standards, we have no idea what they might be and then to say that one of our kids is injured in one of these places, that they have no recourse, because we didn't even look at *he standards before we passed it, raises a potential problem.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Netsch.
Thank you, Mr. President. I think people should be aware af What the bill is. I could barely hear Senator Maitland mumbling over on this side of the aisle, which I'm sure was not your fault, Senator Maitland. The -- this relates to an issue that was a little bit controversial - at least as far as We in the Senate Were concerned. The House kept insisting on putting on to a -- putting into law a reguirement that tax bilks break out of the pension costs for every unit of local government, and every pension fund. And the problem is that it Was fairly expensive, which we understood, although in principle a very good idea. That 9ot put into a eonferenee committee report at the last minute, after the Governor had initially vetoed it amendatorily last fall, and so it beeame 1aw and became effective. Senator Maitland's bill would eliminate that responsibility from every county in the State except Cook County. The requirement Would still be there with respect to Cook County, but a1l okher counties would not have to break out that pension cost. My quess is you are not going to have much sueeess when ehis qets over to the other House, in any event, Senator Maltland. But I think whak you have done here is perfectly defensible. I would suggest that you go back ko the county treasurers though, and ask them if they've got any ideas about how we could get this information, but nat in Gucb a eostly form . Because I think it is extremely revelant information.

Second part is What bothers me, and that is increasing tbe cost of insurance to the State, to khe taxpayers, for a new and increased benefit. I we have, in both committees, tried to demonstrate that there just isn't money to do nêw or expanding programs. We wish there was. There isn't. If there Were, I think there are a lot of areas of import on where to spend *he money. This would not affect ours.

SENATOR JACOBS: Well, think there's Rerit to the bill. I do have some similar problems that -- that Senator Carroll has. When we are in a tight yearz We're not -- wedre not funding budgets.

Senator Davidson: I,understand What youfre trying to do here, but I would really like to see us hold the insurance bills dealing with our insurance until -- a lot of guestions need to be answered and and problems need to be cleared up as it relates to the overall -- I know this particular amendment is not dealing With some of those concerns that Was raised in the Appropriations Committee, but I think we need to take # good look at a11 at our insurance, including the carriersy this year before we move on any insurance -- as relates to State employees.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Further discussion? If not, Senator Davkdson, to close .
Well, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I urge you all to have a favorable vote. This Was Senator Schuneman's bill. What this does it does tWo things. It removes the age discrimination, which is going on now if this doesn't pass. Two, if the unions have already got this collective bargaining aqreement with CMS and it starts July 1st, those people who are not members of the union should have the same opportunity as the rest of the State employees. There shouldn't be any difference between the two. think this is a good bill, and we 've found other reasons that literally: it's probably tWo million dollars. But if we can't find *wo million dollars out of the CMS budget to fund this, something's wrong gith *he sharpies that know that are on *he Floor -- ability to find money in the past whenever they had some project. This is a gaod bill. It removes the age discrimination. Removes any discrimination between those Who are members and nonmembers of a union, and I'd appreciate a favorable vote. 1l0 STATE QF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislatkve Day May 9, 1990

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Would you please stand and be recoqnized by the senate. Senator Davidson.
Mr. President and Members of the Senate, this is a bill which Senator Schuneman and jointly Eponsored. What it does, it raises the lkfe insurance coveraqe for annuitants aged sixty or older to five thousand dollars from two thousand dollars. It has ll1 I STATE OF ILLINOIS I 86tR hEGE UN LE ARAL SEA SSS IE OM NBLX j SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 not been raised since 1970 or '72. As most of you know, sinae only one funeral director is still with us today, the cost of a funeral runs more that tWo thousand dollars in most instances. This will then raise that to five thousand dollars, and we'd appreciate a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank youz Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senator Davidson, I think a few minutes ago Senator collins asked you to take a bill out of the record, and I think you got one of the two and this one doesnft comply with anything in regards to the -- the contract language. It's not removing any barriers. It is a -- a right -- outright increasez and as much as I agree with your premise, that to go from two to five is probably justified, this bill is going to cost us million dollars and I don tt know if that's something that -- that we can come up With at this time. I would like to see you hold this bill and discuss it at a later date With maybe other pension changes that may be available. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Senator Davidson. SENATOR DAVIDSON: Senator Jacobs, it's not my bill. Jhis is Senator Schuneman's bill, which co-sponsored with him . Due to he being unable in attendance, he asked me to go forward With this billy and that's what Ifm going Eo do wlth appreciate your requirement, but this has nothing to do with the other insurances Which Senator Collins asked about. This is trying to raise or correct an inequity that exists that hasn't been changed since 1971, and I'd appreciate a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Davidson, you wish to close? Senator Davidson.
Just ask for a favorable roll call. All uefre Erying to do is get some equitability across the board. There's been no chanqe in this in nineteen years, and I think it's time we correct this inequity from the two thousand and raise the limit to five thousand and those if they Want to purchase for someone who 's a noncontributoty state -- they have to pay that premium themselves. I think this is a good bill. I1d appreciate a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Senator Schaffer. SENATOR SCHAPPER: Mr. President and Members of the Senate: in -- guess on June l5th# 1887, we enacted a 1aw prohibiting minors from purchasing tobaeco. don't think anybodyv with the exception of Senator Weavery was here when that law was passed. But however, at that point, we put a clause in there saying that they couldn 't buy tobaceo unless they had a written order from the minor's parents or guardian. That particular provision has caused a great deal of problem for retail merchants, and this bill is -- I put this bill in at the request of the retail merchants, who find themselves in an untenable position when someone allegedly produces a note from a parent of garden -- guardian. They honestly -- it's not a notarized document and it -- they really don't know Whether itls valid or not, and they have to make a decision. What this bill simply does is say that minors can't buy tobaceo productsz even if they have a note from their parent - allegedly. I1m unaware of any opposition. I think the basic prohibition makes sense, and would appreciate a favorable roll call. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Discussion? Senator Demuzio.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Schaffer. I'm sorry. SENATOR SCHAFFER: Well, it's my understanding that the individual controlling the Rachine - if the machine is in a retail establishment or store - the -- the owner is currently obligated to prevent minots from buyin: cigarettes. Nowz obviously We are all aware of cigarette machines that are placed in lobbies of hotels and obviously not very closely regulatedr but as I understand the laW - and this bill wouldn't affect that one way or the other - that the people that operate those eigarette machines are not supposed to 1et mànors purchase cigarettes. But this bill does not address that situation. PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIQ : Well, we have a eigarette machlne in this building.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Further discussion? Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO: You seem not to know realky too much about this bill.

SENATOR SCHAFFER: If I could. Senator Demuzio is obviously correct that khe -- the vending machines are pretty hard to regulate. Again, I would remind you, the bill was put in at the request of the Retail Merchants, who are having a hard time when presented with a note - - to determinc whether, in fact, it's a leqitimate note or Was, you know, just Written on the back of a school paper on their way to the -- past the local dru: store. It is very difficult for the Retail Merchants, and they Would prefer not to be put in that position. And I donlt think wefre goin: to pass a 1aW that says the parents have to bring a notarized statement in to buy a pack of cigarettes -- or the child will. And I think it's a -- it's a neeessary change. It might have made sense in the 1870s, but it doesn't make sense today, and I'd appreciate a favorable roll call.

If -- if a -- a case is determined to be a unfounded case, so that there's no -- no abuse or neglect, I would assume that such cases need not be reported and would remain eonfidenkial.

We doq't Want to lose evkdence, and that's what happened in that particular case. It was not reported for eight days after the -- after the victim - a three-year-old child was sexually abused.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUFT) Senator Haukknson.
Not in the sexual abuse area: but in the physical abuse area - if if there's truly an accident, and it's determined right up front by DCFS that there's no -- no crime or no abuse, those kinds of reports are not forwarded to State Police, are they -- or become in the public domain?

The person, if they want to go over a hundred thousand dollarse it's their option, and for every ten thousand dollars they raise the coverage it will be a increase of one dollar in their premium.

I SENATOR HUDSON: I l Thankyou:Mr.President,LadiesandGentlemenof the Senate. Senate Bi11 1658 is designed to address *he escalating cost of health insurance for self-employed businesses ln Illinois. It would amend the illinois Income Tax to provide for a hundred percenk Stake tax deduction for healkh insurance cost for these businesses. This award -- this would help level the playing field and bring them to a parity with eorporate forms of business, which can now deduct a hundred percent of their health care costs. Illinois has about 1.5 million people without healkh insurance. If they become il1e they still receive services. These must be paid for by others, resulting in a cost shift where unpaid services are tacked on to health bills of those who can pay, estimated in Illinois at approximately six hundred milllon dollars. Expansion of the current tax incentive to a hundred percent should result in more owners and employees having health l29 i l I ' STATE oe ILLINoIs 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 insurance. Sueh a measure should be an encouragement to Illinois business, stimulate production: increase employment, and in so doingy more than offset any minimal loss of revenue to the State. So I - Ladies and Gentlemen - would urge your consideration and support of this Senate measure. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Netseh. SENATOR NETSCH : Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in opposition to Senate Bill 1658. The objective that the sponsor wishes to reach, I suspect is a perfectly defensible one. That is there is no question that there are rising health insuranee costs, and that it is a problem for anyone who is an employer. But I Would stronqly suggest to you that at the very moment in time that the Senate committees are redueing substantially the amount available even from the -- from the Governor's budget request for essential services to the public, for us to enact another tax exemption on Ehe income tax is exactly the wrong thing to do at exactly the wrong time. There isn't any terribly good information about what this Would cost. I believe that the Chamber of Commeree: who proposed the bill: indicated that the cost might be six to elght milllon dollars. However, there -- I have no basis for that estimate, by the way. The only estimate 1 have is one that was a formula estimate prepared by the -- by the Economic and Fiscal Commission, which admittedly is a formula esttmate. That is, they can only take the known number of self-employed and do some extrapolation from that and it às conceivable that it could eost as mueh as fifty-five million dollars a year, based on a three percent and 4.8 percent income tax rate. That may be a somewhat high figure. I would fully concede that. The point is that there ts a very high cost on this exemptione and whether or not it refleets a genuine concern for employers for the rising cost of health insurance, we l30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 oughe not to be further eroding the State tax base at a time when we are indeed starving some of our essential services. For thae reasony I rise in strong opposition.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rock.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise to reiterate essentially what Senator Netsch said. Senator Hudson, I'm not so sure it's a bad idea, but the fact of the matter is - based on What information We have in the file there's no way to to come close to a true revenue estimate. What's the impact? What's it going to cost us? And I don't think it's quite faire particularly when our appropriations people have been making every effort to cut four to five hundred million dollars out of this budget, to al1 of a sudden come up with a proposal that has a fiscal impact, the extent of which we simply don 't know. don't think this is a very good idea at this point, and as well-intended as it might bey I would suggest that this is not the opportune time.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A11 right. Senator Hudson -- Senator Hudson, to close.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. Try to be brief. I think it's a good idea in the sense that granted, we do not have are not able to put our finqer on the exact cost involved. The Chamber comes up with six or seven million, has been stated. The Revenue Departnent cannot give me any idea of what it -- what it may cost. I suspect the truth is somewhere between the higher figures that have been mentioned and the lower figures that have been mentioned. But would seem to me that kt would argue sensibly that if we can do something, almost anything in Illinois to -- we -- we -- while Webre talking about increasing the l31 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 business climate and the conditions -- business conditions in the State of Illinois, that whateyer we might things -- steps that We might take to enhance those businesses to encourage those to stay in Illinois that are here, or to encourage others to come in that may not be here yet, would not detract from z but would arguably, hopefully, enhance our tax base and our revenue base in the long run. Taking the long view . So I think -- I think it's an idea that has merit, and Would encourage your -- would encourage your Aye vote on this measure.

This addresses the requirement for 132 STATE OF ILLIHOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 recertificatkon of admknkstrators that we passed in the 1985 School Reform Legislation. The State Board of Education was imposed upon with substantial recertification steps that had to deal with every school administrator in the State of Illinois. The State Board came to us, and Senator Maitland/ Senator Kustra, myself and others sat down and took a second look at this process and determined that what we had done in '85 really didn't make much sense, and this bill corrects those requirements regarding recertification of school administrators. Puts the burden, instead of at the State level with the State Boardz back to the local level, and instead of a 1ot of paper shuffling, bases it essentially on professional education -- continuing professional education for at1 our school administrators. It maintains the same goals that we had in 1985, but the method of achievinq them is substantially more realistic. Be glad to respond to any questions, and salicit your Aye vote.

The subject here is multi-toWnship assessment districts. Several years ago we decided that small rural townships Were just ! simply too small to be viable assessment units. So what we did was to provide for multi-townsbip districts. We did not create, at that time, an administrative board to handle these. We simply 1 134 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day Ka# 1990 saîd that the town boards of the respective tawnships Would be the administrative unit. NoW in most casesz tWo toWnships combined, but I talked to a multi-township assessor this last year Where three townships had combined, and what it meant Was that the town boards of those three townships - and then now wedre talking about fifteen people - get together onee or twice a year and sit around the table and drink a little coffee and approve the budget for the multi-township assessor. I don't think We need a board of fifteen people to provide that type of oversight authority. So this legislation says that the township supervisors and the township clerks will make up the adminlstrative board of the multi-districts.

Yes. Mr. President and Menbers of the Senate. Senate Bill 1689 was amended yesterday, and now *he amendmene is a new bill. It -- what it -- Would allow the Illinois Credit Union to act -- ko allow credit unions to communicate With an employer concerning delinquent payment. The amendment would also allow credit unions to file their report of direetors, eommittee members and officers within thirty days of their election or appointment, instead of the current fifteen days. Would assist credit unions and their member -- owners in the collection of delinquent payments by making arrangements With -- to satisfy the delinquent debts. The extension of time for filing the report of directors is basically put in because at times they need that fifteen days. they meet technically on the fifteenth day, they do not have time to submit those names so they the other fifteen days would allow them that time. It's a bill that was requested by Illinois Credit Union League, and I Would appreciate your support.

We are actually golng to make history today. Because, first of all, me tell you, it's about as far south as you can go Without being in the State of Kentucky. But it's a great tourist attraction area, with a great State Park there, and recreational and tourism facilities. And the town itself is population of four hundred where they have an opera house that they want to convert into a tourist attraction, and you will want to come there during the summer and stay at the cabins at Cave in Rock State Park and visiE this great facility once it's completed.

The Employee Benefit Researeh Institute has told our eouncil that approximately million non-elderly Illinoisans are without private health insurance, and approximately a third of those are children. So we just think that this is a qood way to go.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Let the record so reflect, you would have voted Aye. Senator Rigney.
Mr. President, in recent years on -- in fact, on fifty-seven separate occasions, we have created What we call around here, backdoor referendums, Whereby money is levied, bonds are issued and so forth: wkth a backdoor procedure wbereby the citkzens, if they don'E like what has been done by their governmental unit, then file a petition. The problem is as I look over these fifty-seven Geparate Aets, we note that there's great disparity in terms of khe sign-up period on the petitionsz and also the number of signersa In fact, they vary a11 the Way from one perceat up to twenty pereent in signers, and from ten days up to sixty days for circulatàng the petitions. What this legislation aalls for às very simple. In al1 fifty-seven of those eases now e they would have -- they would be required to get five percent of the signatures in their district, and they would have thirty days for the petition. I think this is legislation that's badly needed to standardize What'l going on out ehere wkth backdoor referenöums.
PRBSIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Netsch.
Thank you: Mr. President. I also support the bill. It seems to me that Senator Rigney has done a good job of pulling them together. It should be noted that for some of khe lotal STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 government units that are covered, there will be an increase in the number of days that are allowed for filing the petition and an increase in the number of signatures required, and for others there will be a decrease. But I think the important thin: is that at least everybody is going to be on exactly the same level and that should balance out in the end.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney.
Mr. President, many here will not be familiar wieh coterminous townships and cities, because I think there's only about nineteen or twenty of these things that have been ereated in the State of Illinois. My hometown happens to be one of the coterminous cities and townships. What means is that when the City of Freeport and some others, annexed territory, immediately that annexed territory also goes in to the -- to khe eity township. And of course, that creates a lot of il1 will out in the rural townshipse because Ehat assessed valuation is taken away from them at this time. Now here a couple of years a9o we provided a referendum 144 STATE OF ILLINOTS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 procedure whereby the rural township would be able to challenge this. My own home city has looked at this and said, ''Well: gee, we don't need to go to the referendum procedure. In the first placey we pre not particularly anxious to bring them into the township, even though we may want them Within our city.'' So this says that the two townships by intergovernmental agreement can determine that the land will be annexed into the city, but remain in the rural toknship . PRESIDING OFFICER) (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he Will yield.
Senator, once that happensy will you then no longer have a coterminous township?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney.
I assume the net effect of that Would be yes. Obviously, those lines would be broken. Just as they would be broken now if the city attempts to take more that one percent of their valuation and gets challenged by the rural township to an election. And assuming then that the election is -- fails then: that land would also remain in the rural township. This just merely expedites what's already on the books. PRESIDING OFFICER) (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hawkinson.
I don't have any quarrel with that part of it, but I'm wonderin: -- coterminous townships and cities have some unique 145 I I 1 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 1 86th GENERAL AESEMSLY I REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRTPT 87th Legislative Day May 1990 functions. The city council sits as the town boardy et cetera, et cetera. Once this happens, wilk those other functions then be destroyed and youdll have to elect separate township offieials and do away with all the other things that the coterminous city townshkps can now do. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney. SENATOR RIGNEY: Senator Hawkinson, I do not see this as a problem, because We are not affeeting, in any way, any of the land that has been kaken in in years gone by. So the coterminous township will be there albeit maybe just kknd of kn name only. Because obviously, as they annex out into these rural areas, think they very definitely will be challenged. So I see that We are changing nothing as far as the administrative strueture of that local coterminous township. Wedre merely talking about what happens from this day forward, and We assume that by agreement it will remain in the rural township. PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOSS: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Wi11 the sponsor yield for a question? PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates be will yield. SENATOR JACOBS: Senator Riqney, normally Whenever you annex property into a city, then the city, of coursez takes over the responsibility of the roads - motor fuel tax comes to the road to the eity at that tïme. If you annex them to the city, but yet they stay in the other township , are you going to get dual motor fuel tax revenues? Who's going to get the motor fuel tax revenue, and Who 146 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 then has the responsibility for the roads?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney.
I would assume, Senator Jacobs I've observed this with these coterminous annexations in years gone by the city will probably take over the the road maintenance function. I don 't think there's much doubt about that; that's the way it's done right now. In terms of the money, We're talkinq about tWo different pools of money here: in that the city receives money on a different basis than does the township, so it will not make any bigger drain upon monjes as far as what flows from the State, because the money is already flowing from the State in behalf of the township road system.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jacobs.
Normally, if you have a township that you don't get the duplication in many cases. I know in many cases the city -- the township may be down to six miles of road, and then a11 of a sudden as the city endorses that in -- or annexes that property in, those roads come to the city and eventually the -- the other entity is phased out. And I just have some concerns with how this works, and maybe it's it's -- maybe it's my ignorance on this, 'cause the coterminous municipality and townships I'm not that familiar with, but this would be done with -- by intergovernmental agreement, is that correct? PRESIDING OFFICERI (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney.
I Would presume that by intergovernmental agreement this could, you know, determine such things as who 's going to take care 147 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legkslatkue Bay May 9, 1990 ot one particular road. And you know, that responsibilities might be divided differently in various townships.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Keats.
In Cook County we have a series of townships that are coterminous with villages as or cities as example, Evanston there is unincorporated land right next to Evanston that frankly is in Niles Township, and if they wanted to join Evanston, you would -- you Would have actually land from other township. Does this apply to Cook County, 'cause this could be a real winner in parts of Cook County. We have a serkes of townshkps that are coterminous With the villages.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney.
Well, I would think you'd have even a bigger bear by the tail every time one of those cities goes out into one of these other townships and take that valuation away from those townships. So I -- you know, there -- there are not a lot of those, Rogery because Statewide there's only about nineteen or twenty. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOI Senator Keats.
Butz see I was going to say in suburban Cook, we have a whole series of villages and towns Ehat cross township lines, but in terms of the coterminous, there's - let's see, there 's Evanston, there 's Ciceroy there's Berwyn or there's Oak Park. There's a series of them. Riverside -- and youdve got unincorporated areas next to them that are different townships. See, if it applies to Cook: youlve got a real problem. That's something we should check. The second question is, what happens to the intent of the l48 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 landowner? You know, wedve got the two governmental bodies making decision, where's the intent of the landowner in this bill? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Rigney. SENATOR RIGNEY: Well, the landowner has no roll in this thing at the present time, the way coterminous Works. Up until now from the, you know, from the time this thing went lnto effect, the annexation once the annexation was completed, the annexation always took place to the coterminous township . So the landowner had no say Whatsoever - still doesn't today - as to which township he is going to be in. But this just merely provides a mechanism to do what I am sure is going to be done by referendum. 1.11 guarantee you, some coterminous township like Preeport comes out into one of our rural townships now, and takes up over one percent cf our assessed valuation, they're headed straighk for a referendum. We're just not going to give up that territory anymore. And this just says, ''Okay, Freeport and the rural township can now do it by intergovernmental agreement. You don't have to go the referendum route.'' And frankly the City of Freeport wants to use it to create some goodwill with the rural townships. They are the ones that are asking for this. They say we really don't need this land in Freeport township, even though we might desire to have in our city. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'KRCO) Senakor Rigney, Ehere's a bunch of llgh*s flashing. Maybe we should take out of the record and -- let's take it out of the record for now and get back to it. Is that okay? Thank you. A1l right. The -- I1m sorry. Senator Rigney. SENATOR RIGNEY: My only comment is that if it's merely questionsy fine. If there's some suggestions that We Want to do Something different, 149 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 hope the people that have their lights flashing will come and talk to me about the subject.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Kustra.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. With a11 the focus lately on parentak involvement, this is a bill that attempts to do something about that by ineorporating into *he l51 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 school report card a particular figure that would indicate the extent to which parents are attending parent-teacher conferences. It simply requires that the school report card include on it an indicator Which will measure the extent of parent involvement in the parent-teacher eonference by indicating khe percentage of parents who attend parent-teacher conferences. I would ask for its approval.
PRBSIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Any discussion? Senator Schaffer.
We used to have a Member by the name of Hudson Sours here: and he had a expression I was very impressed With. ''Who Wants this bill?''
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Kustra.
Well: Senator Schaffer, as you go across the State and especially coming ou* of the City of Chicagor you find that parents have been identified as the key indicators of children's success in schools. And no Ratter Where We go, We hear over and over again that We have to do more to encourage parental participation in their ehildren's education. By this bill we send a message to school districts that they should do everything they can to make sure they encourage parents to participate in those conferences and get them out there on those evenings when parents and teachers syt down to Giscuss the work of thekr children. So I think parents want it. I know teachers Want it. They a11 testified in favor of the bill. The IEA is in support of it, and feels strongly that their suceess is tied to the extent to which parents get involved in their children's education. And as far as I know, the school community in general is in support. There was some reservation raised by the School Board Association and l52 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 ED-RED. They testified mildly opposed to the bill; I think Senator Berman would agree - but they know where We're coming from , and theyfre willing to cooperate With us on this one.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Holmberg.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise ln support of this bill. As the parent coordinator of the Rockford School District some years ago, we instituted a program like this in the thirty-five Chapter schools where we kept track of telephone calls to parentsz home visits to parentsz parent conferences, parent volunteers in the classroom and we were able to get from ninety to a hundred percent parent contacts by just starting to keep tallies of how many parents were contacted durin: the year. It's a excellent idea, and it's probably one of the thinqs that schools need Statewide more that anythin: else, and I wholeheartedly support the concept.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Demuzio.
Well, thank you, Mr. -- Mr. President. God bless you. I just Wanted to -- to point out to everyone that this is another State mandate. Know wedre always concerned about mandating programs, When here's another State mandate in education without a three-fifths vote, and I guess itlll probably get 59 votes or Whatever it is today, but I hope it -- at least gets more than thirty-six, because, you knou, thgse mandates just keep addinq up and adding up as we -- as we get to poor old school districts.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Welch.
Thank you. This is one of those bill that -- that looks good right now: and when we get back to the district Wepre going to 9et l53 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9: 1990 a lot of complaints about. Xou know: this is like one of the questions we have on that census that came out April 1st and nobody wanted to ansuer. You know, how many indoor toilets do you have? Well, what in the world do they do with that information when they :et it? Well, they put it in a computer somewhere, and that's what's going to happen with this. We're going to find out some parents do go to these meetings. We're going to find out some parents dondt, and then what are we going to do? We're going to reeducate patents and send them back to school? HoW are we going to do it? This is just another reporting requirement that We 're going to hear about when we get back to the district. A11 the teachers are going to say we're passing mandates and doing nothing to help tbe kids, but webve got a lot of statistics. We've got one more statistic that We can print and throw around that is useless. I think this should qo with some of the census questions, and I think this should receive a No vote.
Further discussion? Senator Zito. All right. Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator Lechowicz.
I move the previous question.
Further discussion? If not, Senator Kustra, you wish to close?
Yes, Mr. President. Just Eo respond to Senator Demuzio. I'm certainly concerned about mandates. I think the ones we îre concerned are the ones that cost money. Those are the ones the school districts tell us to keep here and not send to them. The State Board of Education testified that this has no fiscal implication. It's a simple procedure that can be done by forwarding a number on to the State Board, Which returns it in the 154 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9: 1990 school report eard.

A clear danger would include a physical assault or a threat of physical assault; the illegal use of a firearm or a weapon; and the possession of a controlled substance.

I ask for a favorable vote. PRESIDENT ROCK: Discussion? Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President.

I'd like to ask the sponsor a question...
He indicates...
... I'm not against the concept. Where would the suit be filed?
Senator Dunn.
It would be filed in the circuit court of the jurisdictkon where the individual reskdes.
Senator Alexander.
It would not be an internal committee or group, or the council of these Housing Authorities making determination. That is correct?
Senator Dunn.
That authority would be -- decided by the board, the Housing Authority Board .
Senator Alexander.
I don't quite understand. I knoW they have couneils in the Housing Authority that make sometime decisions. But the decision to evict me would come from that kind of a board, or will that board decide to take my case to a court of competent jurisdiction 160 STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMSLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 for hearinq of eviction?

He indicates he will yield, Senator Hall.
Senator Dunn, if I reeall in our committee hearing , that your bill said that it would be left to the diseretion of a manager whether he wanted to evict one or not. Is that still in the bill?

No sir, that was not in the bill, and is not in the bill.

Senate Bill 1860. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 1860 amends the Crime Victims Compensation Act, and provides that -- young people or people Who are disabled may file claims under the Crime Victims Compensation Act, after the minor has attained -- obtained 162 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 adulthood or the person has the legal disability removed. In many areas of the law, we allow minors or -- or the disabled who are under some legal disability to file suit to recover after the disabklity has been removed. But -- the Court of Claims brought to my attention that under the Crime Victims Compensation Act, they have had people who have obtained -- the age of twenty-one try and file a claim for a crime -- a violent crime that occurred against them while they were still a minor, only to find that that's beyond the Statute of Limitations under the Crime Victims Compensation Act. This would say that if a young person is a victim of a violent crime, or an older person is -- is rendered disabled because of an attack of violent crime, that once thak disability is removed, they would have the same one-year period or the same period to file a claim under the Crime Victims Compensation Act. I would urge the approval of Senate Bill 1860, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

I certainly don't object to Senator Berman's bill.

In prohibiting, does not apply to the -- work release centers or contracts for supportive services, and when we talk about supportive servicese that would include like medical services, education services, maintenance contracts and things of that nature.
Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELLJ It it would include, say: juvenile facilities, if we Wanted to do something in that reqard?
Senator Rea.
That is correct.
Further discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. A couple questions of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he Will yteld, Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANCELIS: And then a question of the Chair, too . First of all, what did you say the position of the department is on this?
l67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Leqislative Day May 9: 1990 The...
Senator Rea.
The -- the Department of Corrections is in support of this legislation. SENATOR DeANGELIS: When did they make that decision, 'cause from what I understand previous to this, their best positlon was neutral.
Senator Rea.
It was my understanding that earlier that they were neutral, but then after they had studied the issue morez that then they were in support of it.
Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: This bill would prohibit even home rule units from entering into agreements with private vendors? Like for instance, Cook County, with its overcrowded condition, if they could find some facility that could house some of the people who are there who are awaiting trial, who cannot make bail, they can't -- the county cannot make any arrangements at a1l this bill passes?
Senator Rea.
It Would prohibit home rule.
Senator DeAngelis.
Welly I would like to make an inquiry of the Chair. How many 168 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Leqislative Day May 9, 1990 votes would take to pass this bill?
The Chair is in the process of reviewing that at the moment. The bill appears to say at Page 2 that, ''this Section is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Seceion of Article VII,'' under which Section and subsection we have previously ruled that only a simple constitutional majority is required. It appears to be that way: and will be prepared to rule shortly. So it will be thirty votes. If you look at that Section under home rule and denial of home rule power that Subsection H specifically provides for something less than the extraordinary vote - not something lessz provides for a constitutional majority vote - instead of, 'cause it has nothing to do with the power to tax. No. I am checking now With Madam Con Con. Somewhere betWeen tWenty and forty. We'11 -- we'll get it right. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: I would like to announce my opposition to this bill. just don't think this is good public policy, particularly when we are having a tremendous problem With our prison population to begin With. To rule out a rather viable option that's used by other states at this particular time, I think, is very unwise.
Wefll :et back to the request for a ruling. Further discussion? Senator Topinka.
If if I may ask a point of clarification from the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Rea . Senator Rea. Okay, Senator.
Yeah. It strikes me when we discussed this bill in committee l69 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRAKSCRIPT I 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 that a pretty good case had been made for problems khat privatization of prisons had gone through in other States that currently had it. 3ut one thing we did not discuss and what seemed to be relevant in terms of where it -- it was effective, was in minimum security prisons. Would this also preclude minimum security prisons? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA: Yes. PRESIDENT R0CK: Senator Topinka. Senator Woodyard. SENATOR WOODYARD: Tbank -- thank you, Mr. President. Would -- would the sponsor yield? PRESIDENT ROCK: Sponsor indlcates he will yield: Senator Woodyard. SENATOR WOODYARD: I -- I didn't cateh all of your earlier presentationz Senator: but did you say that this would have no effect on work camps, or did you say that it would? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA : It would have -- it would have no effect on work camps... PRESIDENT R0CK: Senator Woodyard. SENATOR REA: ... nor -- and it would not -- and it would not have effect also on subcontracting, like for medical services at your correctional facilities, or educational servicese maintenance contracts, things of that nature. l70 I I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENBRAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legkslatkve Day May 9, 1990 SENATOR WOODYARD: What about -- what Would the impact be? In my area: we are discussing regional juvenile detention centers. Would this mean that if that region got together, wanted to establish a a regional detention center, that it could not be privatized? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA: If -- if units of local government got together, and they were submitting, there would be no problem. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Woodyard. SENATOR WOODXARD: What about -- and maybe What Senator Topinka was trying to get to, where we contract out of state, presently: whether Department of Corrections or Child Family Service: -- what kind of àmpact would that have? And and also We're looking at some privatization, also in my districtz With -- with some of these homes that dc Child Family Service where you have the joint contracts between Corrections and Child Family Service, does does this mean you can't do that? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA : As far as out-of-state, you would still be able to -- to contract With it -- out-of-state, but you -- it -- but there would be no construction facilities. It would not include the construction. PRESIDENT ROCK: A11 right. Further discussion? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Questian of the sponsor. STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990
Indicates that he will yield, Senator Keats.
In our home County of Cook, which, by the Way, is a home rule countyz they are presentky eontracting privately for what is equivalent to home correctional facilities; you knoW, the ankle guards and a1l that kind of stuff, the electronic monitoring. That is privatization. Those are private contractors. That's a home rule county. This, from our reading, would prohibit what Cook County is doing at this very moment.
Senator Rea.
Senator Would you repeat that, please?
Senator Keats.
In the County of Cookz where a large number of us live, which is a home rule county, our eountyy because of a prison overcrowding problem, has contracts with private firms for, you know, ankle guards and this electronic monitoring and stuff. These are private firms, private facklitïes contracting rîght now. 0ur reading this bill would outlaw what the Cook County government is attemptin: ko do right now ko deal with our overerowding problem .
Senator Rea.
It does prohibits the states and local governments including home rule units from contracting with a private contractor or vendor to manage a correctional facility.
l72 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86*h GENERAL ASSEMBLX I REGULAR SESSION I SENATETRANSCRIPT 1 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 Senator Keats.
In speaking to the Chair: knoWing that Cook County is doing this right now, this is going to prohibit something that our County is doin: at the moment. I don 't see any way that this Goesn't take thirty-six, 'cause it's a home rule county now doing it With private contractors, and they would then be allowed. So I Would -- I want to speak to that - two more quiek comments. This says AFL-CIO is in support of this bill. Previouslyz when I had a private prison bill, tbe construction trade supported the bill. Now we had a prevailing wage and there, but we had prevailing wage and the construction unions clearly were in support. And so 1 Would say, I I recognize APL-CIO in responding to AFSCME'S supportinq, but I think youlll dkscover the construction trades: who are very interested in -- additional capital constructîon - if they Were asked - Would not tell you theydre ln support of this bill, because in the past they've supported privatization of prisons with prevailing wage inclusions. Also the Department of Corrections, in the past, has never supported this. We're asking now with Corrections -- I think you have a misunderstanding. Corrections has never supported this type of legislation, has said that just -- they've been neutral, but we are attempting to check ik. So I say, this seriously causes problems in Cook County Where we have an overcrowding problem, and I think it is a step in the Wrong direction, beeause this Would take a burden off the taxpayers, a burden off us in terms of paying bonds, and you really tie the hands of those in Ccok County who've tried to do something innovative that is beneficiak to the prisoners.
Further discussion? Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the l73 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 Senate. I rise in support of this, and 1111 tell you why. In our neighboring state, privatizakion is something we have to be careful of. We have here what we call bi-statez a compact between Missouri and Illinois. Now Missouri has gone into *his and a bus line came in and what they did, they paid their drivers lower money and they ran into eompetition, the competition on the routes -- that bus services. It's not a wise idea to do this, because theydll come in and hire people at a cheaper ratee and you dll find out that you dre goin: to get in a lot of problems. The first thing you know: if you're goin: to do that, and private people come in, they want to be laying highways and all this sort of thing. I think that this is a good bill, and I'd -- I think you ought to support it. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator OtDaniel. SENATOR O 'DANIEL: Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor. PRESIDENT ROCK : Sponsor indicates he will yield. SENATOR O'DANIEL: Senator Rea: I have a county in my disttict that - counky board has: I thânk, maybe even signed an agreement with a private contractors to build a prison in the county and then turn it over to the county, I think, for operationz but it's to be built out of private funds and all, and does this -- would this prohibit them from doing that? PRESIDENT ROCE: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA: Senator O'Daniel, it's my understanding that this would not, because it would still be the county that would be the one khat is constructing it, even though they have contracted outside, and 174 1 STATE OP ILLINOIS l l l 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSTON SENATE TRANSCRIPT t 87th Legislative Day kay 9, 1990 also they would contract for the operations of it. i j PRESIDENT ROCK: l 1 Senator o'Daniel. 1
The the private concern will build the prison and then they ! will, with -- through an agreement, turn it over to the t county for the county to operate. But itfs going to be built with I private fundsandit'saprivateprison. It's--it's not --iit's not being builk by county funds at all. This is being j 'built by a ï private eorporation out of Indiana. They dre coming over to build this prison and the county board has indicated that they want to support it. fcourse this is the same county board that one time Wanted a lok-level nuclear waste site, too.
Further discussion? Senator Lechowicz.
Very briefly, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the $ S l enate. I'm going to stand in opposition to this concept. The l unfortunate facts are that in the State of Illinois, we have twenty-three thousand units of -- for t eorrections. And unfortunately, the prison population is at twenty-seven thousand. In Cook County we're putting up fifteen hundred additional cells, and ourprojectionisthatinayear,yearandahalf:ilt'sqolnq tobeinadequate . $ Youshouldleavetheoptionsavailabletthakare coming in lkne from private industry as gell as government. I think you can work 1 work it out between private industry and government, statinq that if there's a fear of hiring nonunion helpe that can be Worked out. But to close the option, especially t i whether it's this State who's going to be mandated by the Federal Government to address this issue very closely, as well as the counties, to make sure that if We pass this bill, which would l unfortunately eliminate private correctional facilities period: is $ I l75 r I i STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! I 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 a step in the wrong direction, and I would strongly encourage a No vote. PRESIDENT ROCK: A1l right. Further discussion? Is there any further discussion? Senator DeAngelis: for the third time. ' SENATOR DeANGELIS: Yeah, and I apologize, but I -- I think the record ought to knoW that there were some answers that were given that were rather incorrect, ak least in my estimation. In the bill it -- specifically prohibits contracting for a eorrectional facility and the definition of, ''a eorrectional facility,'' - which is yours, 'cause this is a new Act - is, I 'a prison, jailz penitenkiary or other institution for the incarceration or custody of persons under sentence for offenses or awaiting trial or sentence for offenses.' Now that does, in fact, mean a work camp. And you said khat this did not inelude work camps and other facilities. You -- you tell me who's in Correetions that either isn't awaiting trial, under sentence or in custody. I meanz what are they doing in Corrections in the first place if they don't fall in that category? PRESIDENT ROCK: A1l right. Senator Rea, to close. The Chair: however, is first prepared to rule, pursuant. to the inquiry from both Senators DeAngelis and Senator Keats after consulkation with the parliamentarian, that in Section 4 it says very specifically that neither the State nor a unit of local qovernmentg includin: a home rule unit, shall contract with a private eontractor or private vendor for the provision of serviees relatlng to the operation of a correctional facility, and so the Chair is prepared to rule thak the referenee to the Section, Subsection H of Section 6 notwi*hstanding, in the opinion of the Chair, this legislative proposal would require thirty-six affirmative votes. Senator Reay 176 I i STATE 0F ILLINQIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day May 9, 1990 to close.
Mr. President -- Mr. President, I would request to take it out of *he record. think that there are some needs some clarification on some areasy and at this time I Would request taking it out.
