Thank you, Mr. President. I would move to concur in House Amendment No. and to non-concur House Amendment No. 3.

Yes, Mr. President. First, like leave to add Senator Vadalabene as a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 2001.

A1l right. The Gentleman has requested leave to add Senator Vadalabene as a co-sponsor. Without objection, leave is graneed. Senator Welch .

Mr. Presidenty I'm moving to concur with House Amendment No. l8. I will non-concur With the other amendments. Let me first explain House Amendment No . 18. House Amendment 18 contains three pieces of legislation that We passed out of the House and out of 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th CENERAL ASSPXBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1992 the Senate. They went to the Governor; the Governor amendatorily vetoed all three bills. Then the House imposed their noncompliance rule on those three bills. The three bills have now been placed into Senate Bil1 2001 kith the understanding from the Governor's Office that this is the only portion of the bill that he will sign is those particular three bills noW contained in House Amendment No. l8. What the three bills are are as follows: Bill No. would amend the Township Lak and create new Acts concerning the Alton Lake Heritage Parkway; secondly, Tri-counky River Development Authority; and third, a Township Plan Commission Bill. These are bills sponsored by Senator DeAngelis, Senator -- Vadalabene and Senator Luft. The amendatory veto of the Governor came back to the Senate firstr and on one -- on one bill it was 56 to nothing; we passed it baek to the House. On another, 58 to nothing. I would ask that we continue that tradition of voting on these same bills and pass and concur with House Amendment No. 18 to Senate Bill 2001.

A1l right. The Gentleman has moved that the Senate concur with House Amendment No. 18 to Senate Bill 2001. Ts there discussion? Senator Keats.

Thank you, Mr. President. As you can guessp Webre having a hard time finding an analysis of this. And I apologize; I know you were trying to explain, but we're trying to find an analysis of what exactly is on this bill. Did you refuse to accep: al1 that civic center stuff? None of that clvic eenter stuff is on? That's what we thought.

Senakor Welch. Senator Welch.

Senator Keats, the Governor said he won't sign any of that, so  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT l I l2ls* Legislative Day January 8, 1991 it seems like a useless act to pass it. So I'm going to non-concur in every ot.her amendment other than No. 18. PRESIDENT ROCK: All right. The question isr shall the Senate eoncur in House M endnent No. 18 to Senate Bi11 2001. I'm sorry. Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON : Thank you. Mr. President. Question of the sponsor. PRESIDENT ROC: : Indicates he Will yielde Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: Thank you. Is there anythinq in here that has to do With changing the pollcy by which local governments, counties and municipalities have the sitinq authority on landfills? PRESIDENT ROCK : Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH : I think that's a good idea to tighten those up: Senator. But we couldn 't get it into this bill. There's nothing to do wi.th the environment in this bill. PRESIDENT ROCK : A11 right. The question is. shall the Senate concur in House M endment 18 to Senate Bill 2001. Those in favor wil1 vote Aye. Opposed. vote Nay, and the vokinq is open. Have all voted who wish?

First Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4061.

Senator Weaver.

Mr. President, this Conference Committee Report is a result of us trying to locate United Airlines Maintenance Facility at Chanute Air Force Base at Rantoul: Illinois. To accomplish this, we would be enacting legislation whereby We would exempt United Airlines from the six and a quarter percent sales tax on machinery and consumable purchases for the new facility. This facility will be brinvtng over a period of ten years - if we're successful probably over a billion dollars to the East Central Illinois area, and lnto the State of Illinois. We have done this for other developments, such as United Parcel Service in Willow Springs . And this is part of the açreement or enticement to get Dnited to locate here in Illinois for their major malntenance centerp If there are any particular questions, 1'11 try to answer them for you .

Thank you, Mr. President: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. just want to strongly support this Conference Committee Report, and publicly state that the Governor of this Statez Governor Thonpson, has been workin: very hard in making sure that United does try to locate its maintenance facility in Chanute. I think it's one of the unsung battles that goes on, day in and day out, of trying to promote business in thls State that's been not recognized by the media per se. I think it's important that the people should know that Covernor Thompson and the Department of DCCA have trying to work with Mr. Wolf, and Unieed and other leqislative leaders in making sure that tbis is a reality. stronqly eneourage an Aye vote.

Further discussion? If not, the question isz shall the Senate adopt the Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4061. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed will vote Nay, and the voting is open.

10  STATZ OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Leqislative Day January 8, 1991 Mr. President, I've been waiting for the updated Conference Committee Report, and khey have not brought it. PRESIDENT ROCK; A11 right. Take out of khe record, Madam Secretary. 1842. Senator Demuzio. On the Order of Conferenee Committee Reportse Supplemental No. 1, is Senate Bill 1842: Madam Secretary.

Flrst Conference Committee Report on Senate Bill 1842. PRESIDENT Rlout Senator Demuzio.

Thank you, Mr. President. Pirst Conference Committee on Senate Bill 1842 -- the Chicago Board of Education had requested and we had passed ehe opportunity for a member of the Chicago Board of Edueation to also serve on the Illlnois Savings and Loan Board. And this change would, in fact, allow that to happen. The second provision of this Conference Committee Report is a -- a bill that was House Bill 3042 that passed the General Assembly, sponsored by Senator Rock. It Was khe immunlzation -- immunization exemption for private colleges, as as recall. 1* doesn't say so in the reportz but I think that's that's what it is. I kould be glad to answer any questions.

Discussion? Senator Topinka.

ïes. Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, the seeond provision of this Conference Committee Report -- We once again get into this immunization question that the Illinois Department of Public Health continues to oppose, and think wisely so, because it weakens the collese Immunization LaWg and it does indeed plaee college students at risk for preventable, infectious diseases, such as measles and mumps. Now, I think 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, :991 we've also seen that as measles has reemerged as a major health care problem , we had three thousand two hundred and eighty-two confirmed measles eases in 1989 that resulted in fourteen deaths. With the college immunization requirement and an aggressive inoculation effort on the the part of the Department of Public Health, we have confirmed cases 1990 to date. We're showing that its declined. and there's only been one deathr but itls hardly eradieated. This really is not a wise course; it's opposed by numerous universtties in the State who are in complianee. I don't see any reason to weaken this, and I would ask that We oppose this part of this particular Conference Committee Report.

Further discusston? Senator Pawell.

Thank -- thank you very much, Mr. President. I have several small colleges in -- my district now. And they have al1 made phone calls to me and asked me please to vote for this bill. Obviously, a lot of our small colleges have also got students that are commutinq. To try and keep track of whether everybody has got a measles shot or not at the a:e of eighteen, nineteen, twenty, tkenty-one - and in the junior colleges, the average a:e is twenty-six - 1 think is -- is askinq our colleges to do above and beyond what is called for. I think that this is a good bill, and I Would strongly suggest we vote for it.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LUPT) Further discussion? Senator Rock. SENATOR ROCEI Thank you, Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. rise in support -- strong support of the Conferenee Committee Report on Senate Bill 1842: and in particular, With respect to the immunization exemption. That bill originally passed out of this Body with 38 38 affirmative votes. And the 12  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 I reason it passed out was beeause we were attempting to put the private eommuter colleges in the same situation a: are the community colleqes. The immunization program calls for proof of immunization or immunization prior to registration, and for commuter students, it simply is unworkable. The bill was proposed by Depaul University on tbe basis that -- one, when you are attending their school - and they have a similar student proflle as Senator Fawell -- pointed out - their students are in tbeir late eventies; these are not kids coming cue of high school for the most part, particularly their night-school students - and to have someone ae the age of twenty-eight, twenty-nine, try to prove, or come up With a certificate to prove, immunization, ls virtually impossible. And What Pather Richardson did - I might say - is he took, at one point, a bunch of registrants, put them on a bus, and took them ko the Chicago Board of Public Health and said, ''Here, they need f1u shots, or vaccinations.l' They didnlt have ik, they didn't have the people available, didn't have the vaccine available. The program as instituted by the Department of Public Health is a good one. But it was aimed specifically at eollege eampuses Where the threak literally of an epidemic is -- somewhat real; does not apply to -- should not apply to commuter type colleges. For goodness sakes, these kidsz or these young adults, gek on mass transportation. You ealk about the possibility of an infectious disease -- if you're riding on a bus with two hundred other people, it's not like being on a college campus. I arqued with Doctor Turnock till I Was blue in the face khat tbls should not apply to these schools; I've contlnued to argue With the Governor. The Governor amendatorily vetoed it and sent it back to us, and the House found it in -- noncomplianee. I just think we ought eo think this one through: and I Would urge an Aye vote.

Secondly, the beer industry's Fair Dealin: Act is and Was intended to govern the relationship between Illinois Beer Wholesalers and their brewers and suppliers, to ensure that Illinois business persons are protected from possible dominance by brewers and suppliers. The beer industry's Fair Dealing Act currently prohibits a brewer's cancellation and nonrenewal of its agreement With an Illinois wholesaler, unless for good cause. The amendment adds the definition of good cause and extends the good faith requirements of the commercial code to distribution agreements. The method for determining the value of a wholesaler's business is modified to clarify - to clearly provide for fair market valuations, which in effeet, in the use of accepted appraisal standards, are in the industry. The other major issues address mandatory arbitration. The amendment ls intended to ensure that arbitration is optional and voluntary and no party can be forced to surrender judicial remedies. Clarifies that in determination of cases of nonrenewal of agreements between brewers and Wholesalers, good cause must be shokn, fair market value paid, and reasons given. Wholesalers may take court action or settle -- settle for arbitration if it's mutually agreed upon. The reasonable compensation eannot be if the reasonable compensation cannot be mutually agreed upon, either party may maintain a civil suit or may mutually agree to arbitration. The brewer or wholesaler may bring action for any controversy arising out of the act or out of the relationshlp. Punitive damages are not included in the arbitration, but they are not prohibited either by court action. I urge a favorable vote.

A1l right. The Gentleman has moved the adoption of the Conference Committee Report on Senate Bill 1310. Discussion? Senator Jacobs. 20  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991

Thank you: Mr. President. Would the Senator yield for a couple of questions?

Al1 right. Ladies and Gentlemen, if we can keep the noise down to a roar, we'd appreciate Senator Dunn indicates he will yield, Senator Jacobs.

The Conference Committee Report deletes punittve damages as an element of compensation in the event of an improper cancellation. What is the effect of this deletion?

Senator Dunn.

The -- the effectz Senator, Will -- will -- to be that punitive damages will be left eo the court's discretions and in effect does not change the current law.

Senator Jacobs.

Thank you. Just one last question. Do the arbitration provisions apply to existing distributorship aqreements?

Senator Dunn.

Since the amendment is intended primarily to clarlfy arbitration rights, a court could apply these provisions to existing distràbution agreements.

Further discussion? Senator Etheredqe, on this question? Senator Etheredge.

21  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 Thank youz Mr. President, and Ladies and Gentlemen of *he Senate. think the sponsor has done an excellent job of summarizing the -- the provisions that are contained within this Conference Committee Report, and I would like to speak specifically to those portions which deal With the contractural relationship that exists between the brekeries and the beer manufacturers. One of the reasons we have this bill before us is because of a very unfortunate situation which developed between a beer distributor, up in my district, and the brewery that he represented. And it was based upon that experience that there were discussions that were held. There was a bill which passed out of the House 117 to nothing which contained -- the provisions that we have before us this afternoon, but also included punitive damages. It is the feeling of the -- my constituent that is it absolueely essential that punitive damages be included in this Conference Committee Report; and it's for that reason that I will be voting against this Conference Committee Report, and I Would ask that you do the same.

Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Dunn, to close.

Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I would just say to Senator Etheredge that if punitive damages were in this report: it wouldn't help your -- your constituent anyway, because he is bound by the agreement khat he entered into. Bu* I think this will give tremendous help to those individual franchises in the future. And I urge a favorable vote.

Senator Maitland.

Thank you very much, Mr. President. Members of khe Senake: this Conference Committee Report addresses some very critical concerns that a number of -- of taxing districts are facing right n0W . It adds language which would allow special education cooperatives, joint agreement programs, and educational servlce centers and regional superintendents to borrow funds when State eategorieal or grant payments are more than thirty days late. Due to the GRF cash flow problems right now, many of these distriets are in -- in critical need of revenue, and this simply allows them to borrow up to eighty-five percent of that anticipated revenue. I believe it's a worthwhtle eause - somethinq We ought to do and I seek your support.

Second Conference Committee Report on Senate Bill 1951.

Senator Jones.

ïeah. Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I move that the Senate adopt the Second Conference Committee Report 32  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 on Senate Bill 1951. This is the omnibus pension bill, which most of the provisions passed this Body last June by a vote of 57 to 0. It is the provisions that mostly deal with the City oê Chicago. It provides for the Chicago police a minimum survivor benefit of fifty percent of the earned retirement benefit for a1l widows of policemen. It also allows the surviving spouse of members killed in the line of duty to remarry before -- who remarry before a:e sixty without loss of benefits. Por Chicago firemens it raises the widow's annuity from three twenty-five to four hundred dollars per month. And many other small benefits that have been agreed to by the administrationp as well as -- as the various systems. For the Chicago laborers and other municipal enployeen, it changes their rekirement annuity formula to a 2.2 of final average salary, and also eliminate -- eliminate annuity reduction for those between the age of fifty-five and age sixty. And also it raises the -- the widowls annuity minimum from two hundred dollars to three hundred dollars per month. For the county employees it increased the max retirement annuity for deputy sberiffs from seventy-five to eighty percent. This is for downstate deputy sheriffs. There are some administrative provisions in there for the Chicaqo Park District, and some other administrative changes, such as the three-percent increase in the survivor's annuity. This come from the -- the -- the system that we should have done in Senate Bill 95. But this is more or less a cleanup provision. For the downstate teachers it provides an inerease from fifty to seventy-five percent for *he payment of health care insurance. The downstate teachers have been really pushing for that. There are some added provisions in the bill that allows the Senate Bill 1591, which we passed. is included in this bill to put in an immediate effective date for the use of those pension funds, as well as those as well as the building -- the building funds. What this does is give an immediate effeckive date so they can u:e 33  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 those funds. Also, it adds in there the the Chicago aldermen, and there is also a provision in here as relake eo the Chicago fire- and polieemen about buying back time earned paid for and Withdrawn, but is not really meant to confer any such benefits to those persons. This is the omnibus pension bill. I ask for a favorable vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Schuneman.

Thank you, Mr. President. A couple of questions of the SPOnSOr.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Schuneman.

Senator, on Page 243, note that they refer to the contract between the Chicago Teachers' Union and the Board of Education. It seens to me that We passed this bill earlier - that this General Assembly, on a very partisan roll callw passed this provision once before. What -- what's it doing in here?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

The reason why we have this in, Senator Sehunemanw beeause there is confusion as it relate to the effective date. By including it in this bill, which has an immediate effective date, this will clear up al1 those concerns as relate Eo *he inkent and the purpose of the leqislation that we passed.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) We have some order, please? Senator Schuneman.

Thank you, Mr. President. Well, is it true that the Chicago Finance Authority has indicated that the previous bill was not 34  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENEKAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT l2lsk Legislative Day January 8: 1991 actually legal, and eherefore in order to successfully collect this tax, that this bill has to pass?

PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZTO) Senator Jones.

I believe what you're referring to that the Chicago Finance Authority did not say such. What they said, in essence, there was concern about khe immediate effective date. So this is the reason why we put it in here - to clear up any confusion as -- as relate to the intent of 1591, and the intent was for it to become effective immediately. This Would clear up al1 that ambiguity.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.

Thank you. So apparently this -- this bill is necessary in order to colleet the first installment of the taxes and divert that money from the pension system to other purposes. One other questton, Senator: I remember when this -- this provision was passed before that there wasz right along with it, a provision that was to allow fifty million dollars for downstate schools. Now is that somewhere in this bill?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

As I recall: when I voted for 1591 there was no provisions as relate to fifty million dollars for downsEate sehools. And to clear up one other point khat you brought out, this bill will take effect upon becoming a law. So therefore we are not talking about anything retroactive at this point. So the fifty million dollars was not part of 1591, to my knowledqe.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman. 35  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 2992

Thank you, Mr. President. Well, it -- it -- I ehink we all remember that this provision earlier got a number of downstate votes because there was the promise that there would be fifty-one million dollars -- or fifty milllon dollars for downstate schools, but apparently that's a11 been dropped out of the pickure now and there no longer is a promise about anything. So we ought to be aware of that. The other thing I want to say about this bill: there was an ongoing -- there has been an ongoing meeting - and Senator Jones certainly has contributed to that, and I've tried to eontribute to it, and the Governor's Office has been involved and basically what We've been doing al1 along is that if there is any provision to which everybody doesn't agree, it's taken off the table. But rather typical of the Way the House does business, onee a11 those agreed measures are in there, now the bill that we see has not only those agreed provisions, but also this one: which obviously was never had a great deal of agreement in the Senate. So with that having been said, I think that if you look at the analysis you'll see that basically most of the provisions that are in this bill are Chicago pension sweeteners, and there really isn't very much in this bill for doWnstate interest. The total accrued liability for the pension systems that are affected here -- there will be an increase of two hundred and eiqhty-three million dollars for all the systemse and there is a total annual cost of almost thirty-two million for a11 khe issues that are being voted upon in this bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hall.

Will the sponsor yield for a question?

PRESIDING OFFICZR: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will -- he Will yield. Senator Hall. 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991

Senator Jones, all that I heard is Chicago. Tell me why should vote for this as a downstater, and what would I be getting? And furthermore, what happened to the fifty million thae -- khat Senator Sehuneman's talking about? I'm very concerned about that.

PRESIDING OFFIPER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

Well: you know, Senator Hally youdve been here longer than I have, and you know better than to listen to what comes from the other side of the aisle. But -- but Senator Hallz as relate to the downstate IMRF system, we met on that equally as well, and Senator Schuneman is aware of khat. When the downstaters get together - the -- the municipalities and the -- the -- the police and fire downstate - When they come together on an agreement, then we would do thae blll, but that *as no agreement. These provisions ineorporated within this bill have been agreed eo by the administration and the pension system and the laborers. You follov me? So as -- as a result, this is Why I foeus on the City of Chicago. As you know, we've done it this way for a number of years. It take care of your downstate teachers. It raioes the payout for the bealth care 'insurance from fifty percent to seventy-five percent. This is something that the IEA wanted for downstate. It's included herein. The fifty million dollars that he -- he pulled out of the sky somewhere, you know, that was never part of 1591. Never parE of khe bill. So khak I'm saying to you, this take care of Chicago and the downstate teachers, because these provisions have been agreed upon. When the downstate police, the downstate fire -- fire and also the other local units of government downstate come together in an agreement, then we would deal with khat bill too. But it doesn't take anythin: away from khe State of Illinois. Not one dine. Not one dime comes 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATS TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 trom State revenue. This is a1l local.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hall.

Well, I don't know who you think youdre talking to. Now I want to tell you one thing about it. We definitely had that - noW you come and tell me that when We get toqether -- I'm not -- Ilve been around here a long time, too. Why is ie khae ae this time Chicago always is together. In other Words, youdre telling us that we were not together on this? Is that what youdre saying?

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

What I'm saying to you, Senator Hall, and youdre a person who vote very wisely, this bill has in there the same provisions that you voted for kwice last year. And there has been no substantive change as a result. So we have not taken anything from downstate. The people in the City of Chicago came together and agreed . We have no -- I have no problems in taking care of downstate fire, downstate police and other local units of qovernment, when they cone toqether on an aqreement. So for you to raise those questions, we taking care of downstate teachers. That's what they want. It's in here. And there's many things dealing With the downstate teachers' retirement system that they wanted that's in here. PRESIDING OFPICER; (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hall.

Well, I don't want to belabor the point. But what you're telling me is that -- when you say I vote very Wisely -- I don't think Ifd be very vo*ing very Wisely for this. What you're doing is you're takinq care. But you are a State Senator - not 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SCSSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8e 199: just a Chicago Senator. And you ought to be taking care of the entire State. And so that's the problem that I got with this. I'm going to tell you that.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATQR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Davidson.

Question of the sponsor.

PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Davidson.

Well, in relation to the question answered and the language that's on page 243 considering about ehe transfer of funds, unless the county board of Cook County does different than other eounty boards, that money's already irretrievabley 'cause that was tax money that was due by September. And unless your county board is doing differenk than other county boards, that money ês already been distributed by the formula. Thereforey it's gone. How can whatever we do today affect that pension money being used in the operating budget? 'Cause you can't retrieve it after it's already gone to thae fund.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SiNATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

Well, in response to -- this is to my earlier remarksy Senator Davidson. This is prospective only -- prospective only. It is not retroactive. So when this becomes law, it Would take effect from this dake on.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATQR DEMUZIO) Senator Davidson.

I -- I understand that, Senator Jones. The question I'm asking is -- I know it's prospective, but What are you goinq ko 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86*: GCNERAL ASSRMRLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January :e 1991 do? Unless your county board is running different than any other county board, that tax money that was -- that pension fund, that you now use for operating, has already been distributed inko khe pension fund. And you can't go baek and retrieve it.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

Maybe that's a normal process. But eurrently the funds are being held in expectation of the passage of this piece of legislation. It has not been distributed. PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? If not: Senator Jones may close.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. President. As I indicated previously, most of the provisions in this piece of legislation passed this Body by a vote of 57 to zip last June. And the only inclusions in there is that portion as it relate to the immediate effective date for the Chicago Teachers' Union Pension Funds. So what Ilm askin: this Body to do - especially the Members on this side of the aisle khen we deal With matters of educatton, We have always been there up front. And my colleaque downstate there, Senator Hall, who had raised some concerns, your concerns have been taken care of in the past, beeause your downstate teachers have what they want in here, and that is the increase from fifty to seventy-five percent for the health care. So I ask a favorable vote on Senatê Bil1 1591 - the Conferenee Committee Report.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. The question is -- question is, shall the Senate adopt the First Conference -- Ilm sorry -- the Second Conference Committee Report on Senate Bill 1951. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting às open. Have al1 voted Who 40  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENENAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 wish? Have all voted Who wish? Have all voted Who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have a1l voted kho wish? Have all voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Last call. Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 37, the Nays are l0g 11 voting Present. The Senate does adopt the Second Conference Committee Report on Senate Bill 1951, and the bill, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, wedll just stand at ease momentarily. The additional conference committee reports that are being printed will be distributed. So, we will just stand at ease for just a little While. (AT EASE) (SENATE RECONVENES)

Ladies and Gentleman, I Would ask again your indulgence. The hour is now eiqht-thirty. Unfortunately, *he Printing Unit suffered a blown fuse. Can you believe it? We send the -- yeah. We send men to the moon: and we blew a fuse. The fact is, I -- I want to commend the Printing Unit. They worked long and hard on our behalf. And Senator Philip and have discussed the possibility of perhaps more equipment or more people or b0th, because we truly do Work them overtime. But the fact is, all the pieces of paper have noW been distributed. And so we will nove through the Calendars. And we have, I think, about fouy or five items and then we will have an adjournment resolution that will adjourn the Eighty-sixth General Assembly sine die. So I Would I would ask you to take a look at the Calendars on your desks. I understand on Supplemental No. l there is a Conference Committee 41  '! STATE 0F ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 Report, Madam Secretary, on House Bill 4-1-2-6. Before we get to that, khere's a messaqe from the House. Messages flom the House.

A Message from the House by Mr. O'Brien: Clerk. Mr. President - I am directed to inform the Senate that the House of Representatives has refused to recede from their amendments -- Amendment No. 2 to a bill of the following title, to wit: Senate Bill 1635. I am further directed to inform the Senate that the House of Representatives requests a First Committee of Conference. Action taken by the House, January 8, 1991.

All right. And Senator Etheredge will accede to the request of the House. On the Order of Supplemental Calendar No. l is House Bill -- Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4-1-2-6, Madam Secretary.

Second Corrected Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4126.

Senator Marovitz.

Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. The Second Corrected Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4-1-2-6 does several thinqs. Last Session, we -- the Eime period for filing a post-conviction petition in capital cases was reduced from ken years to three years, through the good Work of Senator Hawkinson. That provision would become effective 7/1/91. And al1 parties have agreed to delay the effective date an additional six months to allow efforts at compromise. Also last year, the jurisdiction of the State Appellate Defender was linited to felony 42 ë  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENEQAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislakive Day January 8, 1991 cases. This proposal was recommended by the State Appellate Defender. Counties and judges now oppose that limitation, because Would place a greater burden on county public defenders. And this proposal embodied in this Conference Committee Report represents a compromise. Also we have le:islation here dealin: with expungement the arresting authority having custody of arrest information - must transmit a copy of the order of expungement obtained from the clerk of the ckrcuît court to the Department of Stake Police. Failure to transmit khis information would be cause of action against the arresting agency or authority from which the injured party may recover. And expungenent J.n arrests with no conviction would be permissible. Expungement orders are not final for purposes of appeal until thirty days after notice is received by the Department of State Police. And upon approval of the Gaming Boardg it would allow, in community colleges that were teaching courses to be used for riverboat gambling, it would allow the possession of gaming devices on khat conmmnity college property for the purpose of teaching vocatil ona1 1 training for the riverboat gambling. And I would solicit your' lAye vote. f 1 END 0F TAPE TAPE 2

A1l right. Senator MaroviEz has moved the adoption o! khe ; Conference Committee Report on House Bill 4126. Discusyion? senator Watson. : SENATOR WATSON: 1 i Yesg Mr. President. Thank you. A question of the spozsor, I J 43  STATE OP ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 please.

Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Watson.

Senator, I understand -- or I was over in the House when this bill was being debated, and I understand this bill failed over there. Has that changed now, at this particular poine? PRESIDENT ROCKt Senator Marovitz.

Yes. Thatls not totally true. The bill did not fail. I think it got 58 or 59 votes, and there Were three or four fellows out to dinner. They'te going to vote on it again. It had 58 or 59 votes. I do expect it to pass. It did not go down. It Was on postponed consideration. They're qoin: to bring it up riqht away, and I am told by the Speaker that the bill will pass.

Senator Watson.

Well I -- that's reassuring. Well, let me just ask a question about -- about the bill then, if you would, please.

Sponsor indicates he will yieldy Senator Watson.

Now, do understand that in the junior colleges now, Wedre going ko be teaching how Eo -- how to deal blackjack, how Eo play craps, how to run a roulette wheel - is that what wefre going doinq at junior colleqes now? For riverboat qamblinq?

Senator Marovitz.

Well, you could do that now, without this bill -- without this 44  STATC OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 bill. Al1 this does is permit -- if there's going to be a device used for teachinq, khat kt wouldn't be a -- ik'd be an exemption to the violation of criminal 1aw that they could use a device. For instance -- we have legalized it -- for instance, a shoe for dealing blackjack. Okay? That Would be illegal unless they were exempted so that these courses could be taught for the purpose of riverboat gambling for people who are going to come and work on the rîverboats.

Senator Watson.

Thank you. IIm nok quite sure I understood that. You said we could do tbis now without this bill: but because of the equipment we're going to use, we have to pass legislation such as this?

Senator Marovitz.

The possession of the -- those devices used to teach the course would be a violation. Merely teaching the course would be a11 right. Buk in order to teach the course, you nay have to use a - let's say a shoe for dealing blackjack.

Purkher discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.

Will khe sponsor yield for a question?

Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Geo-Karis.

My analysis shows that youdre amending the Gambling Statute at so that the community colleges can possess gambling equipmenk. We still -- if they have playing cards, they possess them. don't see the necesslky for Ehis bill the way it's drafted: 45 k STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT l2lsk Legislative Day January 8, 1991 because if they want to teach them how to repair gambling equipment for the riverboats, they can do that in any vocational school, or even -- I don't -- I don't see what the purpose of -- of it is at all. You delete an entire bill and replace ik with the gambling equipment. What are we qoing into right now? PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: Well, I'm told by the law enforcement authorities that merely having these gambling devices on the property would be a criminal violation, and so that these can be taught - the repair of these things and the use of these things can be tauqht - an exemption is needed so that there would not be a criminal violation. That's all. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Luft. Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: Thank you, Mr. President. Two quick questions. According to our analysis, there's something about delaying the effective date of the bill or chanqin: the length of time in which a post-conviction petition's pursued. I'm sorry. I just don't underskand what that is. Would you please explain to me what it is wedre delaying? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: Well, I would -- I Would defer to Senator Hawkinson, whose idea it was to reduce the time from ten years to three years for post-conviction appeals, and delayin: the implementation of that. Senator Hawkinson I think could better explain it. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hawkinson. 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS ' 86*h GENERAL ASSEMBLX I REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 SENATOR HAWKINSON: Last spring I introduced an amendment, and we passed a bill which reduced the time in which a defendant can appeal his conviction in a post-conviction relief petition from a ten-year period ko a three-year period. My purpose, and *he purpose of the House sponsor, was to reduce the ridiculous length of time that, particularly some of the death penalty appeals and othersg drag out. When we passed that, however, We -- We 've run into a sltuakion where the appellate defenders are fknding that in some cases, if this were to go into effect as soon as we had originally intended, that they Would be forced to file post-conviction appeals prior to the time that the original appeal was decided. And thak would - in my opinion, and -- and in -- certainly in many others would encourage unnecessary appeals in some cases, because to meet the deadline they would have to start a post-conviction appeal at the same time their ordinary appeal was still pendinq and not yet decided by the Illinois Supreme Court. To give us time to work that out, we've agreed to extend the effective delay of this Act another six months. I don't think it's a major concern. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: How did you qet such a reasonable amendment on such a bad bill? Reading our analysis, it's really a pretty good amendment. Talking abouk *he major changes - our quys say khere's a major change - have any of these had committee hearings or public hearings? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: Well, we certainly -- on the provision that you asked about, 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS I 86*h GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1 REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i I l2lskLegislativeDay January 8,1991 1 we certainly had a full committee hearing on that very provision.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats.

Actually the part I asked about looked like the one qood part. I was trykng to find some way to defend the bill. I'm asking about the rest of the bill, that I don't recognize from anything else: and seens to be brand new out of nowbere.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz.

The part of the bill that makes escaping on home detention tHe same as escaping from jail was a request thak came in from Departmenk of Corrections and the StaEe Police. The portion of the bill dealing with the State Appellate Defender and the eases that they would -- that would be under their jurisdiction, did go through a full committee hearing and full discussion with witnesses in the Judiciary Committee.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats.

So We do bave parts of the bill that the publie has not had a chance ko see. Lek me ask the President a question. Don't We have some rule about kwenty-four hours on conference committees?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) The PresidenEds not here aE *he moment.

Mr. Acting Presidenky would you like to check your rules a minute on twenty-fouz hours?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) 1'11 -* 1'11 check it over. Further discussion? Senator Fawell. 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GBNERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION t SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991

I SENATOR FAWELL: WiAl khe sponsor yield for a question? On the -- on -- the part that everybody seems to be concerned about is when we talk about the gambling devices. Are you talking abouk the gambling devices khat were brought down here ko Springfield that the -- the -- the machines? Are those -- is that the kind of equkpment that youdre talking about? The machines Where they had blackjack and they had... PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: We're not talking -- we dre talking about things like a shoe used ko deal blackjacky a -- a wheel used for roulette. PRESIDING OPPICER: (SCNATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: Accordkng to our analysis, what this says is that the reason the community colleqes wanted to allow this gambling equipment for vocational training was not to bave them become dealers, but so that they could repair and maintaàn gambling equipment. I think thatfs the question over here. Nov, you know, if weere talking about repairing a Wheel or repairing a deek of cards or a shoe, there's not that much -- what I'm asking is: are *e talking about khose -- those gaming machines that Ehey had over at Baur's that had blackjack and so on and so forth? That I could see you might need somebody to be trained to maintain those. I don't understand otherwise what you 're talking about. PRESIDING OPEICERI (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: Not the video gamese but the slot machines that are fairly complicated and would -- you'd need some instruction -- vocational 49 I 1  STATE OF ILLINQIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 instruction to know how to repair those machines. Those are the ones that the -- the community colleqe want to do vocational eraining to be able to repair those machines. In terms of aetually kraining somebody to be a dealer or to be a croupier, that is not What this is intended for, because Whoever gets the riverboat license is going to do their own training of their own employees to be dealers and croupiers. They are not going to rely on some community college -- that gets a degree and say, 'lokay, now welre going to hire you and youfre goinq to be the croupiero'' They're goin: to do their own training. This is to repair those machines that are needed for the ràverboat gambling licenses. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR PAWELL: Is the community college that's asking for this - are they over there by Moline and -- and -- is that the community college that's askin: for this authority? Well, if they -- you know ... PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Luft. SZNATOR LUFT: Thank you, Mr. President. I kill ask the sponsor a question and hopefully will put this to resk. Itls ny understandin: that it is against Illinois State Statutes to be in possession of a qambling device - in possession. So if a community college às in the possession of a gambling vice <sicl, even for instructional purposes, they could be arrested. What this simply does is absolve khe community college from any legal liability for having in possession a gambling device for the purpose of instruction. Is that right. Mr. Sponsor? PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: 50 I I  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 That's correct. Without this exemption they would be liable I for even having thak device on its property for the purposes of 1 teaching vocational training and repatrinq. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator -- Senator Jacobs. SCNATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President. 1.11 make it brief, but -- but really, all this bill really does -- and I think that in eoncern ko Frank -- Senator Watson, as to the junior colleges and if thak's what theyCre qoing to be teaching, I guess the question really comes down to we're going to have riverboat gamblin: in Illinois and -- and somebody's going to be teaching them. I'd rather see Illinoisans be teaching them than to have them going to Las Vegas and/or to Iowa to :et that teaching done. But -- bue the issue still boils down to -- as -- as -- as Senator Luft has indicated, these are gambling devices per se, and to brinq khose on to the premises of a junior colleqe of any other teaching faciltty: whether it be a junior college, tf that's your hangup, if it be a private college, the same thing is selll going to prevail - that -- that because they are qambling devices per se, they will be confiscaked: and thatfs the problem. If you're qoing I VO Work On bhe PrOdUCE# XOU have to hake khe product in front of j l I you. It's that simple. It's an economie development aspect of 1 the billy and I urge support. I I I .

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Marovitz may close.

Well: there are a 1ot of things in this bill requested by the State Police. Department of Corrections - things that have gone through committee hearings - very àmportant pieces of legislation like the home detention provisions, so that if somebody escapes fron home detention, which is beinq used on an increased basis: the penalty would be the same as if they escaped from jail themselves. The post-conviction delay is very, very important. The -- the jurisdiction of ehe State Appellate Defender is very important, and this is very important. The -- the ability of our community collegesg who are setting up courses for kids to be able to repair and Work on an industry that we legalized -- on an industry that we legalized -- and this is not -- you know, this is a very important issue. We voted for it. We legalized it. They want to be able to repair these things without fear of criminal violation for having the devices on their properky. I solicit your Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMOZIO) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES: Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President, Members on the Senate. The Pirst Conferenee Committee Report on House Bill 3228 repeals kwo sections as it relate to the Chicago Police and Fire, and what it does is it takes out that provision that allows them to buy back a fractional portion of time served. And thks is something that I understand that the Police and Pire did not Want in there, so we are taking this out, and that's all that it does. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Raica. SENATOR RAICA: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. About two years ago this General Assembly passed a bill that would allow paramedics to buy back into a pension fund with a two-year window. So they had two years to pay back into that fund. 1951, that we just passed out of the General Assembly about an hour aqor opened up that window and said khat they didnlt put a time limit on there. They took that time limit off. So it could be five years. It could be six years or seven yearss What this would do is brinq that bill, if I'm not mistaken: back to its original form and pue a two-year date on it once aqain. This would hurt about two hundred or three hundred quys that are currently on khe 53 I I  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Leqislatlve Day January 8, 1991 Chicago Pire Department, and I really donft know if that's the best thing that We should do at this particular time. So I -- just asking for a Present or a No vote, and maybe we could work it out in the spring when it's brought to the Membership of the entire Body.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

ïeah. Thank you, Mr. President. Let me clarify this for the previous speaker. What this does is take out that provision that was included in 1951 wherein a -- a contributor can buy just a fraction -- part of the time that they have served. It doesn 'k touch that portion that alludes as it relate to the paramedics. It doesnlt that remains in place. What this does is take ouk that portion where a wanted back -- stop baek -- could just buy. instead of ten years of service, they can stop in and just pick up two years of service. The portion the purchase the fraction of the time. It does not impact on khat you are talking about and what We talked about earlier. want to clarify that for you. Senator Raica. So it doesn't impact on Ehat portion whatsoever.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATQR DEMUZIO) Senator Raica.

Mr. Presidenk, I'm going to ask the sponsor, if he would, to take it out of the record. Wefre going to be here for about another ten minutes, I thknk, on some other matter. Maybe we can talk about it.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator -- Senator Rock.

Thank you, Mr. President. I hope to clarify this. Senator Raica, there Was, in the big pension bill in the sky - 1951 - a 54  STATE OF ILLINQIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 provision which Was literally a draftin: error. The class -- the eligible class to buy that kind of time does not changep Has not changed. Will not change. What we are attempting to do here is something I discussed earlier with Senator Philip. We were prepared at the -- some hours ago to literally strike this out, because it Was not agreed to by the fund. I -- I think your fears are ill-founded, and I can assure you theydre ill-founded. This is truly a technical cleanup, and I would ask for an affirmative vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 'urther discussion? Senator Jeremiah -- Joyce.

Thank you, Mr. President. Just to add, briefly: to uhat President Rock has said, khe trustees of the fund came and lobbied very hard to have this piece of leglslation before usy and so I would ask that you consider that, Senator Raica.

.o. sponsor yield for a question? According to this report...

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Just a moment. Senator Jones. Senator Geo-Karis.

Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, my query to the sponsor. It says in Paraqraph 4 that this Act represents Ehe lakest expression of the intent of this General Assembly and is intended to control over the previously enacted bill, Senate Bil1 1951, that creates those Sections. Xou ju:t passed Senate Bill 1951 just about a couple of hours ago. I think this is a very confusing statement. What are you talking about? Are you repealinq that what you just passed?

PRZSIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 55  STATE OF ILLINQIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 Senator Jones.

That's the very -- that's the very thing khak the Senate President explained to you. We passed this provision. The trustees had not seen it or agreed to it, so We decided to take it out. And thates what we are doinq. But it does not impact on what Senator Raica is concerned about. It doesn't touch that provision whatsoever. What this does -- only for those eligiblee and will probably come back again: seez but What I'm saying, we want to make it crystal clear that the intent of the legislation was not to have this 1n. That's why we are passing this.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Keats.

Questlons. Pirst, who are khe eligibles, so we know who this affects; and seeondly, why was this included in the bill and these guys didn't know about it? Is this some backroom deal someone forgot to kell us about?

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

Wherein some of the administration had talked to some of the individuals, and they thought they were a11 advised as to this position. Only later dàd We find out that they weren't. And this is no backroom deal like you havee Senator Keats. We don't deal like you do.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Jones may close. The -- Senakor -- Senator Dudycz, for what purpose do you rise?

Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Jones, I guess I'm getting some mixed signals here. My seatmate, Senator Raica: is kelling me one khingy and the Senate President is telling me -- tellin: us something else. Can you take this out of the record for about five or ten minutes till we clarify it? Unless -- otherWise, we 're going to be forced to vote Present on it.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.

The issue is already clarified. The Senate President is right, and I'm quike sure When Senator Raica leaves from over there he will be clear on the issue koo. And I wouldn't mislead you. ïou're my friend.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Kustra.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator Berman has certainly accurately described the leqislation. I kould just like to rise to add a second to what he has said about the importance of moving on this particular bill. I think it's -- it's clear ko us what has happened as a result of the court decision, and I think it's imperakive that we on -- in this Senate, on both sides of the aisle, move forward so the Chicago public schools can continue operating in the -- in the mode of the reforms which we established just a feW years ago. Obviously, We haven't done it all here today. And the Governor and the General Assenbly will have to work together this sprin: to straishten out the election procedure. But I think what's important is that we send the parents of those Chicago schoolchildren a strong message today that we are dedicated to the principles of Chicago school reform, and that we will work hard ehis spring to achieve the 58  STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991 I I I goals Which we set for ourselves just a few years ago.

Senate Resolution 1560 offered by Senator Demuzio. (Secretary reads SR No. 1560)

Senator Demuzio.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Resolution 1560 is perhaps one of the most tedious tasks to be performed in this legislative Body.

Youdre volunteering, I take it?

This appoints five Members to approve the final Journals of the Senate. It seems eo me that maybe one of those to be appointed ought to be Senator Netsch, so she could go over every line and period and comma to afford us *he opportunity to make sure we've done it correctly. I would move the adoption of Senate Resolution 1569.

A1l right. Senator Demuzio has moved to suspend the rules for the imnediate consideration and adoption of Senate Resolution 1560. All in favor of the Motion to Suspend: indicate by saying Aye.

Senator Sam, for what purpose do you arise, sir? SENATOR VADALABENEI Jusk briefly, Mr. President. I think the Senate on both sides of the aisle should glve you a round of applause for the way you have conducted yourself as our President.

Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. And the Senate Democrakic Majority will meet immediately at the Sangamo Club for the purpose of our annual gettogether. I truly was not delaying this so we didn't have time to break bread together. We're still going. Senator Geo-Karis, for what purpose do you arise?

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, my Minority Leader made a Motion to Adjourn sine die.

Oh# I and hels well within his rights. Any further business to come before -- Senator Leehowicz, for what purpose do you arise, sir?

Thank you, Mr. President. First of all: I want to echo Senator Sam Vadalabene's comments as far as your leadership in this past two years, and hope we will reconvene Eomorrow and recreate the same type of a superb presidency for the next two years. But I have a Motion to Reconsider on 1635 -- on Senate Bill 1635. Mr. President. And because of the -- your interference, as far as asking me to withdraw it, as well the Governor, I'd like to reconsider that and withdraw the motion on Senate Bi1l 1635. 64  STATE OF ILLINOIS l 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 121st Legislative Day January 8, 1991

Thank you. ïou're very kind. Senator Phillp, you want to make the final, final notion? Senator Phillp.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I -- I would just like to make a few observations: and I would like to congratulate Senator Kustra on his election as Lieutenant Governor. Quite frankly, on this side of *he aisle, we're goinq to mlss him. He's bright, articulate. He's done a hell of a job. He's been a key leader in our leadership, and we wish him the best. And secondly: as you know, Bob and I have a little going-away party for hin at the Sangamo Club. and after you wonderful Democrats are done with your caucus, you're welcome to cone down and have a drink and an hors dfoeuvre on those Wonderful Republicans. So without further adieu, Mr. President, I move we adjourn sine die.

And that motion is in order. Senator Demuzio.

Thank you, Mr. President. I can't let the opportunity to -- go by, I know Senator Netsch Will be With us again tomorrow: but *e, too: think a great deal of her - a little higher perhaps in perspective than you guys think of Senator Kustra - but just Want to let you know that if Dawn's picking up the check later on for some other party - her and Kustra, why, we can all go to that one too.

A11 right. Wepve now determined that Senators Netsch and Kustra are picking up a1l the checks tonight. I think it's wonderful. Ladies and Gentlemen, I ehink the Sighty-sixth General Assembly has performed maqnificently and I thank you allz and the Senate stands adjourned sine die. ; 65  1 2REPORT: TIFLDAY 5TATE UF ILLINGIS 9:/01/2: 1 PAGgz no1 86TH GENERALASSEMBLY 13:02:32 1 DAILY TRANSCRIPTION SENATEOF DEBATE INDEX j JANUARY 08# 1991 H8-3228 CONFERENCE H8-3302 CONFERENCE H8-3310 CONFERONCE 88-3386 REE/LLED H5-3336 THIRD READtNG 89-3777 CO/IFERENCE HB-4O6t CONFERENCE HB-#126 POSTPONED CONSIDERATION HB-#l2ô CONFERENCE RB-#t26 0UT OF RECORD H3-#149 CONFERENCE SB-t086 CONCURRENCE 53-1086 NON-CONCURRENCE SB-t3t0 CONFERENCE SB-t556 CONFERENCE SB-t635 CONFERENCE SB-t842 CONFERENCE 58- 195t CONFERENCE SB-2001 CONCURRENCE SB-2001 NtIN-CORCURRERCE SR-D881 DISCUSZED 5R-1522 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1523 RESOLUrION OFFERED SR-l524 RESOLUTICN OFFERED 5R-1525 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1526 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1527 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1528 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t529 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR- 1530 RESGLUTIGN OFFEREO SR-153k RESGLUTION OFFEREP 5R-1532 RESOLUTICN OFFERED 5R-1533 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t53# RESDLUTIO: OFFEREO 5R-1535 RESOLUTIDN OFFERED sR-1S3& RESOLUTION OFF6RED SR-t537 RESOLUTION OFFEREO SR-1538 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1539 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-15#0 RESOLUTIDN OFFERED &R-t541 RESGLUTION OFFERED SR-t5#2 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-15#3 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-154# RESPLUTION OFFERED SR-t5#5 RESOLUFION CFFERfP SR-t5#6 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR- l5#T QE&OLUTION SFFERED SR-1548 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t5#9 RESOLUTISN OFFERED SR-1550 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-l55l RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t552 RESOLUTION OFFERES 5R-t553 RESOLUTION OFFERED 5R-1554 RESOLUTIOi: GFFEREO 5R-1555 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t55ô RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-k557 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t558 RFSGLUTION OFFERED 5R-1559 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-t580 ADOPrED SR-t560 RESOLUTION OFFERED SR-15&l RESOLUTTON OFFERED SR-t5&2 RESOLUTICN OFFERED SR-15b3 RESOLUTION OFFERED  i REPSRT) TIFLDA: STAJE UF ILLfNSIS 91/01/2* PAGEI 0D2 86TH GENERAL ASGEMBLY 13:02:32 SENATE 9AILY TRANSCRIPTiON GF OEBATE INDEX 1 JANUARY 08, 1991 SR-k564 RESCLUTION OFFERED PAGE 5 1 5:-1565 AOOPTED PAGE 28 3R-1565 RESULUTION OFFERED PAGE 5 5R-t566 RESOLUTION OFFEZED PAGE 25 5R- :567 RESOLUTTON DFFERED PAGE 25 5R-1568 RESSLUTION OFFERED PAGE 62 5R-1569 RESCLUTION OFFEREP PAGE 62 HJR-0159 HOTION PAGE 23 HJR-0159 ADOPTED PAGE 23 SJR-01#7 CONEURRENCE PAGE 18 SJR-0230 RES&LOTION OFFERED PAGE 5 SJR-023l ADSPTED PAGE 62 SUôJECT MATTER S6NATE TO ORDER - PRFSIDENT ROCK PAGE l PRAYER - SENATOR KENNETH HALL PAGE l JOURNALS - APPROVED PAGF 1 FIESSAGEG FROX TH6 HOUSE PAG6 l RECESS PAGE 4 SENATE REEONVENES PAGE 4 MESSAGE FROM THE GGVERNOR PAGE 1* EXECUTIVE APPOINTRENTS PAGE 16 AT EASE PAGE 25 SENATE RECQRVENES P/GE 25 AI FASE PAGE #1 SENATE RECONVENES P/GE :1 l4BVSAGE FROM THE HOUSE PZGE #2 ADJOURNED SINE DIE PAGE 65 RESOLUTIONS CONSENT CALENDAR - ADOPTED PJGE 62
