PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Okay. Senator Rockz on Amendment No. 1.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This is the bill Which addresses itself to the question of due process in regard to NCAA hearings. The fact of the matter is we I 25 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 a11 believe: think, that the University of Illinois 9ot the short shrift from the association. What this amendment will do is delay the effective date of what we believe are sincere due process efforts. We Will delay the effective date until next July July '92 - based upon the testimony of the NCAA that they have retained the services of former Chief Justice Warren Berger and will be presenting due process safeguards to their own association. I think this is a legitimate effort at compromise, and I would mave khe adoption of Amendment No. 1.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Rock has moved the adoption of -- of Amendmenk No. to House Bill 682. Discussion? Senator Weaver.
Thank you, Madam President. Well, I understand what Senator Rock is wantinq to do here, but for more khan ten years we've been trying to get the NCAA to reform and to come up with some legitimate and fair hearing procedures. And we really havendt qotten their attention. It's my sincere feeling that we need to keep their feet to the fire, and should they ecme up With those proaedures in the near future, we can certainly repeal 682. So - - I stand in opposition to this amendment for delaying the effective date.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? If not, Senator Rock, to close.
Well: again, I thlnk it is a legitimate effort at compromise. The testimony before the Executive Committee Was ta the effect that I think it - at least tacitly - the NCAA admitted that they do notz in fact, afford due process safeguards in the course of their investigations and hearinqs. And so they have retained the services of former Chief Justice Berger to head up a committee to do exactly that. And I think, in fairness, We ought to afford 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 them some time to report back. And if, indeed, they are not to our satisfaction - we in Illinois - the law will kick in July 1.

Yes. Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Senate. This is a bill that we started to debate a llttle bit yesterdayy and - - I asked to take it out of the record so as to clarify this bill. It deals With the issue of university bookstores. And the bill, as it passed the House, did not have -- or grant any concessions to some of the universities that objected to the bill. So an amendment was adopted in committee that does, indeed, answer some of the objections of some of the universities. And as a result, I'd like to adopt this amendment Which was adopted in committee. And then, for those Who are opposed to the bill on 3rd Reading, we certainly -- we will have the debate. But I think that those who are opposed to the bill should be in favor of the amendment. And so, for that reason, I would move its adoption. Be happy to explain it and any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWTCZ) Senator Rigney.
Mr. President, this is a bill that Was requested by the Illinois Soil Classifiers. What we're doing here is establishing a -- an official State soil, like We have other symbols in this State. This particular soil type being the Drummer Silty Clay Loam. It is one of our very best soils. It's by far the most predominant soil in the Eta*e of Illinois. It's one of our best. And if we're qoing to have an official State soil in this State, I think they lve made an excellent choice.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Is there any discussion? Senator Joyce.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. rise in opposition. 93 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 just, for the life of me, cannot see Why we Would Want to do this. There are many types of soil in this State. And I think that perhaps - not intentionally - but perhaps lt would be unfair to the property owners that don't have this type of soil, in that if investors were coming here to look for farmland and they would see the State soil is Drummer - that's the kind of land ought to buy. And that's sending a wrong siqnal. Besides being a liktle frivolous, think that this bill could possibly hurt the values of farmland in this State.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator O 'Daniel.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I also rise in opposition to this -- this blll. And, you knoww it's nothing wrong with Drummer soil, but it's not necessarily the predominant soil in the State of Illinois. And I think this as Senator Joyce says, I think this really sends the wrong message to people, especially investors and all. And I would oppose this blll.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Rigney, to close.
Well, Mr. Presidentz I khink probably symbols are important, and I think an agricultural symbol for this State is just as important as any of the others. I think it ranks along with tbe Cardinal, the Oak Tree, the Monarch Butterfly -- and a great agricultural State like the State of Illinois, I think, truly ought to have an agricultural symbol. It's one of our bes*. There ls over a million and six-tenths acres of this soil in this State, by far the predominant soil of this State. Just ask for your Aye vote.

Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates hedll yield.
Knowin: this is a nonreferendum bonding fund, passed after Our Lady of Angels' fire, to deal only with life-safety issuesy you're noW tellin: me there is no opposition to being used for sidewalks 95 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45*h Leqislative Day June l8z 1991 and things that are about as related to life safety as the wind blowing by? Is that what youlre selling us?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: No. No, Senator Keats, I donlt knok about schools in your areae but we have some schools in our area that are fairly old. And a broken sidewalk can be as much of a safety threat as some other items might be. The hearing has to indicate -- now, have you seen the bill? The bi-ll's not very long. Let me read to you Whate in fact, they have to prove. ''And it is determined after a public hearing that there is a substantial, immediate and otherwise unavoidable threat to the health, safety or welfare of PUPXIS.''
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Xeats.
don't know how much broader an exemptton they could have. At Evanston High School, they put in a neW runnin: track, a sidewalk out front, fans in the field house. They've built swimminq pools. They've used it to replace Windows so that the air conditioning doesn'e leak so mueh. This is already the single most scandalous nonreferendum bond fund already available in the State. I cannot comprehend Why we kould want to expand a nonreferendum bond that the only justification is life safety, and presently signifieant amounts of stuff is used for little more than maintenance. And the group who this was originally geared towards - private schools - are excluded anyway.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Holmberg.
Thank you very mueh. think many of you probably read the 96 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 very long article in the Chicago Tribune citing the ways that some of the fire-safety money has been spent over the last few years - many of it for very needy things - but the wording of the 1aw has allowed it to be used in many ways for which it was not originally intended . This broadening of the 1aw would, it seems to me, as Senator Keats has sald, allow for a great deal of expansion on what is included in the definition of ''safetyy'' and also without referendum. I I think we need some kind of a tighter law, and instead, we're expanding it. We certainly want to do things to protect the safety of children, but I think the wording needs to be different, and -- and it doesn't -- isn't taken care of in this bill. It's an expansion, rather than a tightening, of the language.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis, to close. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, I would concur with most of the comments if that's what the bill actually did. But I think we have to stop for a moment and read the bill. gecause if this.bill. had .been in effect when a1l those excesses occurred that Senator Keats has referred to, or the expansion that you're referring to, none of those things would have occurred. I read that article in the Sun-Times. And by *he way, Senator Keaks, that track Was in Elqin. I met with Representative Doederlein, who is a vocal person against fire safety of the fund - and she, herself, along with the Realtors and Ehe Taxpayers' Federation -- because in this provision, you have far more restrictive requirements than you currently have under 1aw for other life-safety. In fact, What might be a good idea is tc take the life-safety and include this in kt as it exists, and you wouldn't have those excesses.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWTCZ) Any discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yesr if I may ask the sponsor some questions, because this legislation has come around a number of times before. And -- my -- my concern would be -- is how does this apply, for instance, like to a clergyman who would go out and counsel people? And also to, you know, people Who you would be dealin: with possibly in schools, or high school coaches who might Want to sit down with a 98 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18# 1991 kkd? Or, you know. even people like us# who may be talking to a constituent?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jones.
Yes, the amendment took care of your first concern in partlcular as ik relate to the clergy, because they had some concerns, so they amended -- the amendment addressed their concerns and anyone who is employee or agents of a religious organization or any organizakion owned or afflliated with a church or religious organization are exempted from the Act. And so took care of your eoncerns along those lines.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Topinka.
What about the secondary concerns of people like your high school coach, who might want to sit down and talk to the kids, or people like us, who talk to constituents from time to time and try and advise them? I mean, would we be held liable if we were not . certified?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senaeor Jones.
No . You 're not youdre not holding yourself out as a professional counselor. These individuals who fall under this Act would be professional counselors. I'm quite sure you hold yourself out as a -- an esteemed Senatory as such, when you do counseling to constituents.

Not to my knowledge, but perhaps some Members -- you may have been invited; I have not. I donlt know of any.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schaffer.
Well, I know that we license everything that moves, walks, breathes and can find its way down here. But at least you used to make them buy egg rolls once. I hate to see these traditions diep as we pass one meaningless, self-serving registration 1aw after another. This one strikes me as particularly meaningless. You know -- you can you ean continue to do this withouk registering, as long as you don't use a particular word to describe yourself. don't know. I just don't know where al1 this registration is going. My question is, is the Medical Society opposed to this bill? They have been in the past, I'm told by our analysis. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator -- Senator Holmberq.
Well --
PREGIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Holmberg: please. Senator Jones, you want to answer -- Was that a question, Senator schaffer? I'm sorry. Senaeor Jones.
Not to my knowledge. I really don't know as far the Medical Society -- they have not talked to me specifically about it. But l00 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 in answer to your other question, it is very importantz see, is that we license the psychologists, the psychiatrists and clinical psychologists. This is one that the schools throughout the State of Illinois, your private as well as public, offer master degree programs along this lines, and a1l this does is take care of that final group that we did not take care of when we did the others.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schaffer.
If I honestly thought this was the final group we would be asked to register, I'd probably vote for the bill. This is just one on a cavalcade of groups eomin: down to qet licensed to cut themselves off and eut down the supply, and drive up their price to the constituents, which, in many cases, are the medical programs we pay for. I donlt know. I don't know why we do this. There's no public justification in terms of protecting the public good. We are just, frankly, pandering the special interest groups when We pass these bills.

There is a board that Was set up to review your qualifications as such, and 1 have discussed this kith you, and but I feel that you -- if you meet the quallfications, then you will automatically be licensed as such.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Mr. President. In regards to the Medical Societyz I don't know if they're opposed or for this bill either, except that I do know that in -- in a House amendment - I think it Was Amendment No. 3 in the House to thls bill - there is some specific language about counselors, you know, telling their patients to go to a doctor if they feel it's necessary . mean, that theydre not to handle those kind of cases.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. House Bill 480 exempts from FOID requiremenes, resident hunters who are hunting within a commercial club while accompanied by a person who possesses a valid POID card. And this Would put resident hunters on a similar footing with requirements of nonresident hunters. don 't know of any opposition. I'd move for its passage.

Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Marovitz.
Senator O 'Daniel, what is a residene hunter?
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator O 'Daniel.
Thatls someone that lives Within the State.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz.
Why are we exempting them from the FOID card requirement which everybody else in this State has?
PRESIDTNG OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator O 'Daniel. lll STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRTPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991
Well, no* everyone in the State has them . Anyone -- I guess, you know, that -- if you buy a firearm, you have to have one. Or if you 'have a huntin: license, but you ean go to these -- these public shooting areas and nonresidents can come in -- nonresident out of other states - can come in and hunt without purehasing a - - or having a FOID card. So this just lets local people -- local residents have the same privilege of hunting -- and this is just on a commercial shooting area. This is not out if you're just qoing out hunting on private land or anything of that nature.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Raica.
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicate he kill yield. Senator Raica.
Senator O'Daniel, just a clarification. It's still my understanding that that hunter still has to have a FOID card in order to purchase that gun. In other words, he can hunt at that facility at Ehe commercial club; however, to own that gun, he still will have to have a FOID card. Is that correct? Or is that incorrect?
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator O'Daniel.
Yesz that's correct.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discusslon? Senator Keats.
Rather than remove tbe FOID eard requirement for khe in-state resident, why don't we do some kind of reciprocity agreenent with 112 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLï REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18# 1991 out-of-state residents? Frankly, it's not a bad idea to have FOID card checks. It's not a bad idea to have that kind of information available. We should not be allowinq people from out of state Who we know nothing about to come in and hunt and use weapons when we know nothing about their eraining, baekqround or experience. Maybe we should have reciprocity With those states -- I mean, but ko simply say because the out-of-staters can come in and do dumb things, means we should 1et Illinois residents come in and do dumb things. The logic is missing here.

Thank you, Mr. President.

It establish requirement for registration, create the Respiratory Care Examining Committee. This bill has strong support of the Society of Respiratory Therapists. It has passed this Chamber before. Illinois will jotn in Wkth thkrty-one other states who license respiratory care. And I ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I think r have as many hospitals in my district as maybe anybody 1l4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legkslatkve Day June l8# 1991 in the Chamber, and I have received phone calls from every single hospital and many people on the boards against this legislation. And at a time when we are cuttin: back on payments to hospitals and many hospitals are in danger of closingr putting this requirement on hospitals is really goin: to cause them very serious problems to rectify something where there's no problem. There is no problem right now. Forty percent of these respiratory therapists must be licensed right now. If We require one-hundred-percent registration: there's going to be a very serious problem With the hospitals. There's going to be a shortage of respiratory therapists, and it's golng to create a 1ot of problems. And if you have any doubts about that, call your hospikals back home and ask them aboue this bill or this requirement and what it Would do to them, especially noW in their time when Wedre cutting back on them and hospitals are closing right and left. This is not a good idea. It's dealing with a problem that doesn't exist. There is no problem in the State of Illinois dealing With respiratory therapists.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Barkhausen.
Mr. President, Members, I'm with Senator Marovitz on this. I've never been convinced that this is a real problem. Certalnly, we need high quality medical care practitioners of al1 kinds, but I think this would create, in many situations, an unrealistic division of labor, and would, as Senator Marovitz has suggestedy impose an additional hardship on our hospitals at a time when they can il1 afford an additional burden. And I also urge your opposition.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
l15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 Thank you very much, Mr. President. I happen to be one of those that happen to have a lung problem. I have bronchiectasis, which is a chronic bronchitis condition. I've been in the hospital on more than one occasion and had to use respiratory therapists, and believe me# there ls a difference. When you 've got somebody that's been trained - that knows how to use those machines - it makes a heck of a lot of difference than some nurse walking in and fiddling around with you and not getting the thing set right. I think this is a good idea. We are ealking about people's lives. If you ever got in a position Where you could not or had difficulty breathing and you're trying to get some air in your lungs, you would be à hundred percent for this bill. This is a good bill, and I think we ought to pass it to make sure that at least the -- the therapists know what in the world they're doing.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther diseussion? Senator Ralph Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I disagree - With my seatmate on the left. I think this is a terrible bill. Itls one that wefve been arquing over for several years. My respiratory therapists back in tWo or three hospitals in Southern Illinois have written us saying this is not a good bill. resericts the practice, and I'd urge a No vote.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATQR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Sehuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. One of the problems with this bill for downstate small hospitals is that many of them now are having their registered nurses train LPNS to do the respiratory therapy Work: and they're trainin: them properly. There have been no problems in khe way they perform their duties. But once this bill passes: those small hospitals Will not be able to use LPNS for ll6 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 respiratory therapy when they're required and then do some other duty the rest of the day. Those people are not going to Want to do those other duties. Theydre qoing to be strictly respiratory therapists. And I think we need to take a look at that: because we don't want to force hardships on small hospitals around the State. END OF TAPE TAPE
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I know this bill has been in this General Assembly ever Since I've been around. Paramedics throughout this State have attempted to be licensed also, only because theydre probably one of the few people that haven't been lieensed. All this is is proEecting the people that are serving these particular situations now . They have a certain amount of education, as far as the particulars, and they specialize in that and specialize in that area only. They don't want to give medications. They don't want to go out and Work in an emergency room. They don't want to go out and work in pediatrics. Their specialty is respiratory therapy. There's a lot of nurses, LPNS, RNs that do that kind of work now, and I don't think that -- that this is going to eause any undue hardship on any hospital facility. This is merely a group of people who are asking to be licensed like insurance agents and boxers and everybody else in this State of Illinois. I think it's about time we do the riqht thin: and allow them to be licensed as l17 STATC 0F ILLENOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSTON SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8y 1991 professionals.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Eurther discussion? If not, Senator Jones may close. I'm sorry. Senator Daley.
Thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. Just for the record, I would like to state in for the reeord that do have an association with a hospital and I Will be voting accordingly.
PRESIDENT OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? Tf not, Senator Jones may close.
Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. And I appreciate the discussion, but let me clear up a few facts, especlally my colleague who has all the hospitals on the north side of the City of Chicago. If you want persons qualified to do the job to render patient care, I would think that tbe hospitals would be in strong support that those persons be adequately trained to handle the highly technical equipment that you have. To have persons Who are unqualified, you run into an emergency room or youfre laying in the hospital in critical care, you want a person -- the most important part of that care is your respiratory care. And to haze someone that gokng 9et on-the-job-training to treat patients, I don 't think that's in the best interest of the people who need that type of service. Now, as it relate to downstate, as Senator Schuneman pointed out, the amendment should address his concerns because those persons who are currenkly performing under *he supervision will automatically be grandfathered - will protected with that and not have to take the exam . So that would take care of the small hospitals downstate. But the most important aspect of hospital care -- you have a heart attack, you got a stroke, you want a person that can read that equipment, understand what kt is ll8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 and this is a1l that they do. They will not be doing part time. They be doing is on a full-time basis. Ik wl11 not add to cost, but it Will give quality care which is surely needed in the area hospitals. And I ask for a favorable vote.

Well, thank you very mueh, Mr. President and Members of the Senaee. It's obvious that this bill does a multitude of things, all of which I believe to be noncontroversial. Pirst of all, it allows *he members of a board of education of a newly ereated district to be elected at the same time as the consolidakion question .is submitted to the voters. Senator Berman, in committee, suggested an amendment that did -- clarify that the option to elect the new board members at the same election that the consolidation questton is decided is available only at consolidated elections held ln April of the odd-numbered years, and we aqreed to that amendment. It further does bring into conformity, with respect to filing of petitions, l1A -- brings 1lA into eonformity with Articles 1lB and 7A. An amendment, then: that was offered on the Floor provides that consolidation petitions filed under Article llB may include the proposition for the issuance of bonds by the newly forned district. .That.was noncontroversial. And furthery another amendment limits the availability of the four-thousand-dollar teacher stipend to annexatlon of districts With -- they have to have at least thirty percent of the average daily attendance. And then finally, in an amendment offered by -- yesterday: did provide that if board members are not elected at the normal nonpartisan electlon November in odd-numbered years - the inikial eerms of such members shall be extended to the nonpartisan election immediately following the expiration of kheir terms, either two- or four-year terms from the date of -- of eheir eleetion.

SENATOR HOLMBERGI Thank you, Mr. President. really Would like to alert the Members of the Senate to this btll and the one to follow , House Bill 678. These measures really change the definàtion of tbe family day care home and group family day care home, and expand the number of children that these homes can provide for. Currently, family day care providers may care for four to eight children. Under the provisions of 677, the category is expanded 129 STATE OF ILLINOIS I 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8# 1991 to twelve children. Can you imagine one person ln their home taking care of twelve children? I think it -- this raises serious questions about health and safety, as well as questions about the quality of care a child might receive. In the event of an emergency, could one provider safely evacuate all the children? If one of the ehildren becomes il1 or is injured and requires emergency treatment, how will the provider care for that child, while safely transporting seven or other small children to an emergency treatment facility? It allows to -- an assistant fourteen years of age to help, but I say that instead of helping a situation, we have made it worse. The other thing that it does do, is it increases the income of the person taking care of children within their home. I can see Why the providers might want to have this. From data that I've received, the current annual income would go from twenty-nine thousand five hundred for the provider to forty-six thousand forty dollars for the gross income. This is a pay increase bill. do not consider it a better child care bill.
PRESIDENT OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Marovitz.
Senator Woodyard, We passed a Senate bill over to the House. What is different about this bill than the Senate bill? I think - - you did amend the bill -- the Senate bill.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) senator Woodyard.
The only differenee is the effective date. We added an immediate effectlve date to where the Department can promulgate these grids immedkately, rather than havin: to Wait till the 1st of January.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 130 STATE OE ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 ; . Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ) In the Senate bill -- when the Senate bill was in committee, We had some concern about the very small children - I think under thirty months - and you amended the Senate bill. What was it originally, and what did you amend it to? PRESIDENT OFFICERJ (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard . SENATOR WOODYARD: You're absolutely right. That language Was all stricken from out of the bill dealing With the a:e groups. The zero eo thlrty months children, on the original bill -- we would have allowed four in a family day care home. That Was a1l taken out. And as a matter of fact, 1111 be happy to share these draft grids with anybody, but that has been worked out in these draft rules as to what the age groupings can be in these qrids. But that was all taken out of the previous bills. It is not in these tWo House bills: either. PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ: I was told that under this bill, there could be as many as six children under thirty months taken care of. Is -- is that incorrect? Is that information that I was given incorrect? PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) . senator Woodyard. SENATOR WOODYARD: It's my understanding that is incorrect; that that kas the objection with the Department when we had four under thirty months With no assistant. And -- and I don't know who has said that We are now allowing six under thirty months, but that's totally incorrect. 131 1 ' ! - I STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45tb Legislative Day June l8, 1991 PRESIDENT OFFICER) (SZNATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz.
A1l I can say ls that's the information that we were given that you could have six children under thirty months under this legkslatkon. And we certaknly donft want to do that. I thknk -- we heard that in committee, and it seems that you you agreed that *e we didn't Want to do that. And if that's in the legislation, would you at least commit on the Floor Ehat the Governor should certalnly amendatorily veto that out of the bill?
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Welly yes. I'd certainly make that commitment, and -- and the draft grid that I have shows one under thirty months in a family day care home. PRESIDENT OFFICER) (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? Senator Donahue.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in strong Support of this legislation: and it doesn't have that type of provision that Senator Marovitz Was talking about. That's totally incorrect. This increases the number of students from eight to twelve. And under the 1aw todayz the -- the care giver's children are included in that total. And this is supposed to take care of the float, meaning that the kids that are in school during khe day -- that in downstate rural areas we have good, qualified care givers, but they can't accept the number of kids that we have - we don't have enough of them. So when these kids are in school, theysre limkted to the number of kids that they can have. And by expanding this, they can have these kids for an hour before school. They go to sehool. They have an hour after school, and it basically is l32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 trying to take care of the latchkey kids. This is a very important piece of legislation for our rural areas. And the Department has agreed to take care of many of the controversies that are surrounded. So it's -- I would move for its support -- suppork it. hope a1l of you do, too.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further dlscussion? Senator Welch.
Would just like to stand in opposition to this bill. You know, I had my son in day care for three years, and frankly, having eight kids with one service provider was very difficult to take care of my son. They sat in front of televislon a lot. They rented a 1ot of movies. They had a van; they drove the kids around every noW and then and took them to a park. But just think for a minute. You've got an adult takin: care of eight little kids. And under this bill, it's going to be twelve kids, three of Which can be under thirty months of age. With a fourteen-year-old helper? Wellz I dan't know about you, but I don't want my son being taken care of by a fourteen-year-old. think that he deserves a little bit more than that, especiaxly when I1m paying seventy-five dollars each week or so for service. This doesn 't make sense. You know, the arguments in favor of this - weêve just had tWo arquments to support the bill. One Was it helps the float for the service providers. I thought We were talking about kids. What does -- khat does the float of kids have to do With anything? And then the other argument in favor of this is Ehat the grid model says that this will work out a1l right. You know, what do kids have to do with a grid model? Just use some common sense. You've :ot one adulty probably a two- or three-bedroom house. Theyêve got a livlng room. Theyfve got a kitchen. They 've :ot a front porch, a small backyard that has to be fenced in, and theypve got eight kids. The bilk says put four more kids in l33 STATE OF ILLTNOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Leqislative Day June 18, 1991 there, but if you have a fourteen-year-old, then it's okay. How many people are you going to fit into a tko- or three-bedroom house? The kids don't use the bedrooms, by the way. They use the living room and the dining room, the kitchen, maybe the porch. This is a house that is too full already. Let's use some common sense here. It's obviously a bill to try to make more monies for the day care providers. Nou' I'm not knocking them. They -- well, it's true, Senator Woodyard. It's true. They do a tremendous job, and it's extremely difficult to take care of eight kids. But just think how much more difficult it is to take care of four more. I think if we used a little bit of common sense on khis bill, inseead of looking at grid -- well, listen to this kid. How Would you like to have eight of those at your home? Can you imagine somebody and then have four more? Think about it. I ... lmachine cutoffl... and the service provtder making money, we also have to make sure that the service it provided is adequate, and that the children that we have going to day care are adequately served and not just warehoused. So I would urge a No vote.
PRESIDENT OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Purther discussion? There are a 1ot of lights. Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate: I rise in strong, strong, stronger support of this bill, because in my area and very strong and they don't like the day care place, they don't have to put their kids there. Bue I can tell you now, if they are making a little more money, they deserve it. HoW Would you like to be able to run eight or twelve kids? Let me eell you. come from a family where -- ten of us. marvel at my late mother and father. And let me say this - we need those services. We need them badly in my county, and don 't think l34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATC TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislatkve Day June l8, 1991 there's anything wrong with this bill. think if people are willing to take care of the children, put up with them at that age none of us were angels at that a:e - I think it's a good bill and We should support it.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. We debated this bill quite a bit in committee in b0th versions: the Senate and the House versions. On the fourteen-year-old question, that's the mintmum age. And I don't think there's probably a parent in this room who - privately or otherwise - at some time or anokher has not contracted with a neighborhood kid who's around fourteen years old to watch their child, with no negative effects. It's been the history of baby-sitting and day care ad eternam, and it continues. Second of all, it's a very important bill not only in rural areas, but also in urban and suburban areas, because we don't have enough day care centers to provide for these youngsters. Por three years now this.debate has been qoing on with the Department of Children and Pamily Services. They have not been able to put together a game plan. I think this purports and puts forward a good gane plan that makes some sense because does provide for enough necessary care. And I think Senator Geo-Karis basically makes the point. If you don't Want to use this day care option, no one is making you use it. So as a result, think we can find other places to take care of your kids if. indeed, that's a problem. It's a good bill and deserves your support.
PRESIDENT OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I happen to be a member of the -- of the l35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 Private/Day Care Commission that's been going for the last couple of years. Let me tell you, first of all, eighty-five percent of our children now are in -- in these kinds of day cares. If anybody Woukd bother readkng tbe analysks, kt says the additionat four children must be enrolled in a full-day sehool program. So in other words, what we're talking about are latehkey kids. And certainly it is much more loqical to have those latchkey kids to go for an hour or two to a day care center where there are parentsy or where there is an adult watching them, rather than go home to an empty home, and Lord knows what's going to happen to them. We've already had one tragedy in Dupage County, khere a kid was kept home all day because of the fact that there Was no one there to watch her. think thls is a good idea. I thlnk this is an excellent bill. I think we ought to support this. We ought to qet those kids away from these latchkey situations where they are siteing home by themselves, and at least have an adult Watching them before and after school. And I suggest We a11 vote for this bill.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If note Senator Woodyard may finally close. SENATOR WOODYARDI Thank you, Mr. President, and I do want to reiterate a point that Senator Topinka brou:ht up. We first started working with the Department some three years back when we first created the -- the Group Day Care Home Act ko increase *he number of -- particularly these latchkey kids. We dve not trled to delete or dilute any of the licensure requirements. We haven't looked at or tried to deal with some of the zonin: khat occurs in various communities. All wedve tried to do is address a problem - that is certainly prevalent in the downstate rural areas - of the need for increased day care home. We fve got thousands of kids coming home l36 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 from school to either an empty house or or being out an a street, simply because of the limits imposed under the Day Care Home provisions. And for a11 of those reasonsy we have finally: in this three-year period of time, in working with the Department and workinq with the providers, come up with these kWo bills that we think will at least address part of the problem. It's certainly not the entire answer, but it's a bi: help. HoW many of you read in the Sprinqfield papery just within the past three weeks, a letter to the editor where a mother has three children, did not want to break up those three kids and yet had called thirty-five day care homes and could not find one single day care home that could take all three of her own chlldren into the home at the same time. For all of those reasonsy I would urge the passage of 677.
PRESIDENT OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Question is# shall House Bi11 677 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting ls open. Have all voted who wish? Have al1 voted Who wish?

House Bill 6-7-8. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readinq of the bill. PRESIDENT OFFICER; (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. A very similar bill, except it amends tbe -- the group day care home, rather than the family day care home, and it would allow a maximum l37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legkslatize Day June l8, 1991 of sixteen children to be taken care of, and certainly there are assistants involved. And the same thing applies, that the grids are being worked out by the Department of Children and Family Services.
PRESIDENT OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. I'm sorry to rise again on a similar subject, but this is the bill where the Department of Children and Family Services have come out with their regulations allowing six children under thirty months to be kept in the home. DCFS has come out with their regulations which would increase the number of small children. Six children under thirty months could be kept in a home. And I donît think thatls What we want to do. I'm not againsk what you're trying to do, and I know it's needed. I know it's needed, because some of my secretaries have needed day care and haven't been able to get it because of the restrictions. But six kids under thirty months - that's a problem.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Senator Woodyard.
Thank you very much. Andr Senator, give you the same commitment on this bill. If the Department: for some reason or other - and I think maybe I know Where you're getting your information from - but if for some reason or other the Department would promulgate or ln*end to promulgate six under thirty months, I Would certainly ask the Governor to amendatorily veto that.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Holmberg.
Thank you: Mr. President. I would just like to rise in opposition against this bill as well. It -- 678 expands the group 138 STATE OF ILLINOTS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 family day care from tWelve to sixteen children. Can you imagine sixteen children in a private home? What if they wanted to go to the park for some recreation? Can you imaqine one person taking care of ehis many young children and offering adequate supervision? I agree wtth Senator Marovitz that under a1l the information we have, that two adults would be able to eare for six children under thirty months, six children thirty monkhs to five, and four sehool-agers, in a home setting. Although these bills were promulgated to take care of latchkey kids, they dve only succeeded'in expanding the number of young children that the provider may take care of. My own newspaper has been running a series on these bills - the pro and con and in an editorial, they have said that they -- itls unbelievable that these bills have moved throuqh the Legislature With little or no opposition; that a better plan would be to do as we have been doing in our own YWCA, which is a ehild care resouree and referral program to find and train providers. If providers are in short supply: let's have a plan to train other providers. As several speakers have said, parents don't have to put their children in these homes, but the parents who put their children in these homes those children have to go. I think we should defeak this bill. I wish we had defeated the one previously.
PRESIDENT OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Pawell.
Thank you very much. I thlnk youlre aonfused about what a group day care home is. That isn't necessarily a home khat is a home - where people have their own children or where they are -- Where they are living. A group day care home is, effect, a day care center. And it is an entirely different setup. There are people in this State Who have set up these homes, who have set up these nurseries. happen to know of one in Arlington Heights l39 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legiskative Day June l8g 1991 where they actually have a a reglstered nurse on duey, and do take care of these infants. One of the biggest problems that we have in this State is having someone take care oe infants while some of the workin: mothers must go back to work soon after theylve had their children. Again, think this is a good bill. Certainly there are any problems, DCFS will scream bloody murder, and I sugqest we vote Yes.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Woodyard may close.
Thank you, Mr. President: Members of the Senate. I can only tell you that there is a need out there for this type of expansion. We have estimated - or the Department has estimated there may be as many as five hundred thousand kids in the State in need of day care. And the people who have opposed the expansion don 't seem to be eoming up with any solutions to how to take care of these kids. And by the way, you mlght be interested to knowy there may be some newspapers that have editorialized against it, but guarantee you, the Sun-Times has editorialized for: and in support of, these bills. So for a lot of the same reasons I used in my previous arqumenes, I Would urge adoption of House Bill 678.

Senator Topinka, the Calendar says it includes expenses for temporary relocation expenses. Is there any limit on What those are? Does define that specifically?

Would -- would Senator Welch please be a little louder. I couldn't hear what -- what all the question was.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Welch.
If I could have order, Mr. Presidentz I could probably be heard. The Calendar says that the money can be used for leasing education facilities and for temporary relocatlon expenses. The question is, is there any limit on what expenses relating to a temporary relocation that could be included? Is just -- you know, if We moved and bought lunch for everybody, that would be a relocation expense. What limits are there are the expenses?
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) senator Topinka.
I don't know, to be perfectly honest. If maybe my staff person is Wîthin hearing distance of me, I might be able to answer that question.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. House Bill 802 transfers the responsibilities for enforcement of public workplace health and safety standards from the Industrial Commission to the Department of Labor. It would give the Department of Labor the statutory authority to do what it has been doing under the intergovernmental agreement with the Industrial Commission. And I would ask for your support.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Hudson. l52 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87*h GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991
Thank you, Mr. President. This bill was discussed at some length in committee. A question of the sponsor, please.
PRESIDENT OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Hudson.
Senator Reaz is it the intent of House Bill 802 that it apply only to public employersr and that ie does not change the State's current policy of allowing OSHA to regulate the private sector?
Senator Rea.
The answer is yes.
Senator Hudson.
Thank you very mueh, and I Would close by simply reminding people here that with those with that understanding, as understand it, the Associated Employers of Illinois have withdrawn has withdrawn its opposition. But my understanding ls the Municipal League: for reasons of its own, is still opposed.
Further discussion? Senator Butler.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker tsic>. Senator Hudson made my point. think what we're doinq is -- now is leaving the every municipality in the State at the -- at the mercy of Ehis -- this bill. think we'd better be careful. We're talking about high taxes on one hand and here we are loading them up again. So we should be very, very cautious.
Further discussion? Senator Rea, to close. 153 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991
Thank youy Mr. President. This simply gives the authorization to the Department of Labor of What they have already been doing. And I would ask for your support.

On the Order of House Bills 3rd Reading is House Bill 812. Read the bill, Mr. Secretary, please.
ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. HARRY) House Bill 812. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
Senator Topinka. SENATOR TOPINKA J Yes, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This would create the Equitable Restrooms Act which We sought last year as well, which would create -- to specify the number of toilets and urinals that would be provided in a place of public accommodation. It would not include hotels, restaurants or schools. In the Words of the Illinois Department on Aging, which strongly supports the bill, this bill would have a posiEive impact on the elderly, especially elderly Women who have a problem in getting bathroom attention in public plages due to ineontinence. Additionally, many elderly persons have other healkh problems and disabilities, such as arthritis, that can cause them a great deal of discomfort if they have to stand or wait in long lines. I l54 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLï REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991 think we can also argue it on the other extreme thae women do indeed take longer in the bathroom, because you also have the question of pregnant women: menstruating women, and women who bring small children into the johns. Comiskey Park -- is already in alignment with this. I've talked to those who will be building the stadium for the Bulls and the Blackhawks. They have no problem with this. This would deal with previous accommodations that are undergoing a fifty-percent or better -- rehab. I think it's fair. It's timely, and as Illinois ages, it makes good sense. I would seek your favorable roll call.
The Lady has moved passage of House Bill 812. Discussion? Senator Donahue.
Thank you, Mr. President. I'm sorry, Senator Topinka, to rise on this bille but I rise in opposition. I think from her comments she indicated that the Department of Aging was in support of this, but yet the groups that are building and providing new projects that this bill would affect are already in'support of what the bill represents. And it's the old facilities thae we really can't get at that we need -- maybe need this type of thing. So I think the bill is redundant, or not needed, and I hope that we could defeat this legislation.
Furtber discussion? Senator Kelky.
Thank you, Mr. President. I1d like to ask the sponsor a question or two.
Sponsor indicates she will yield, SenaEor Kelly.
Senator Topinka, on the newly created -- on the newly created 155 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SZNATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 White Sox ball park, for instance, we know there is a problem right now with the restrooms. What effect Will this legislation have upon their current washroom structure? Will there be any changes, and kf so, what will they be?
Senator Topinka.
If -- if Comiskey Park is having a problem at this point - and they are already in conformity'with khat this bill is seeking to do - then I think it would be up to the management to handle it and address the probkem . We woulo not go beyond this -- this reach right now.
Senator Kelly.
What you're saying is they -- conform with this with this bill and with this legislative intent - that they meet a11 these guidelines, but yet they still have a problem . So really, it doesn't solve everything, does it?
Senator Topinka.
Senator Kellyy I don't know in the passage of legislation here on any issue that we solve everything. I think we just make an effort to find a middle ground for the good of the order.
Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. presâdent and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, if I read my analysis correctly, this Act applies to -- to places that commence construction or alteration exceeding fifty-percent of the entire place after the effective date of this bill. think l56 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 Senator Topinka is absolutely right. There have been places of public accommodation that have been very, very unworthy for the use of -- either sex. So I'm telling you right now - khat's wrong With having public accommodations be a little more decent than they dve been before? You go to the -- big buildings of Chieago, the skyscrapers before they were built, say, about ten years ago or later. There's one bathroom on -- for six floors. Now come on, we're going ahead now and we're progressing, I hope. Let's support this bill. I think it's needed.
Purther dtscussion? Senator Macdonald.
Well, wedve had a qood deal of discussion. I want to rise in strong support of this bill. think that it is equitable. think it's sensible. And I think for the future it will do a great deal to alleviate a problem that has exlsted for a very, very long time.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Topinka, to close.
Basically, T look for a favorable roll eall, and I would like to thank the Senate for not doing khat probably would like to do in terms of making fun of this particular issue. It is straight. It is needed. It is fair.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Demuzlo.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, and Senator Maitland. House Bill 827 is a bill that we have had before us in the last Session which passed and was -- passed both Houses. It is back before us. It is -- it is a bill that would l58 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Leqislative Day June l8, 1991 amend the School Code and provide for reimbursement to districts for special education proqrams, based on twenty-six percent of the Statewide averaqe special educatlon teacher's salary, for special ed eertified staff, and an inerease for noncertified staff. The bill does nok have any effect -- becomes effective July the lst of '91. However, there is no fiscal impact until Fiscal Xear :92. And it is not paid on a current-year basis. Thks is reform. It is supported by the Illinois Education for Handicapped Coalition, the Illinois Administrators of Special Ed, and a number of others, and I would urge your support.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Pawell.
Thank you very mueh. Could you -- eould the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) He indicates he Will.
Do you have any idea approximately What -the eost Would be of this blll?
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Demuzio.
I was looking for that number. It hasn't changed from the previous year, but -- four hundred dollars more per individual, I am told.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator -- go ahead, I'm sorry. Senator Fawell.
Well, aeeording to our analysis, it's qoing to be nine million dollars in Fiscal Year '93. You know, I certainly aqree tbat speeial ed is important. The problem that we've got with speeial l59 STATE QF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 ed is I think the last figure I remember in the Appropriation Committee Was We are already spending something like -- believe it's a hundred and forty-three million on special ed. You know, don't know if this is the year We should be doing these kinds of things. We -- we are very shy of monies. I'm not sure welre going to improve much by next year. Wefre still tryin: to 9et out from under: and I would suqgest that we ought to delay doing this, at least until we find out what in the world our fiscal picture is. And I would suggest a No vote on this.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Holmberg.
Thank you, Mr. President. I've supported this bill in previous years. This year I think it's almost an impossibility, even though with the delayed effective date. What you will do wlth a nine-miillion-dollar hit is basically decrease the prorated amount that comes to your school district in special ed. There just -- there isn't enough funds in the pool. And so# as you increase the amount that goes to each indàvidual member of the personnel team , you have less money overall for special education. The okher thing, as testified by the State Board, was the fact that they are in the middle of revamping the Special Ed Program. That's one of khe thinqs Superintendent Leininger wants to do, and there may be a way of disbursing funds in a different way next year that may prove even more valuable in this program. So intend to vote Present today.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I rise in opposieion to House Bill 827, and I -- have been on both sides of this issue. It is a -- is a serious, critical 160 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 problem for many school districts across the State. Indeed, we are not reimbursing those districts for -- for the amount of their expenses. I think a couple of things need to be made clear here today. There have been some who have said that without this concept or a similar one, we are denying -- we are denying benefits to special ed students. That absolutely is not true, because this is a reimbursement, and the services are provided one year and reimbursed the next. School districts are mandated by 1aw to provide these services with or without this reimbursement. The concern that 1 have: and I think everyone in this Body - and I can see you're a1l terribly interested - but this affects every school district in the State differently. This is a Statewide average salary. And so you Want to -- you Want to look and see, perhaps before you vote on this, how it would affect your own district. That's a critical factor. Senator Holmberg is exactly right. Superintendent Leininger is in the process of evaluating this whole process - the reimbursement of all -- a11 of our categoricals - and noW is probably not the right time to do this. Final point: Qeep'in mind, when We deal With educational funding every year, whether you like to admit it or not, we deal with the total of all the money. And if this money goes in this way, then it just comes out of formula or something else. So those are thoughts you ought to keep in mind as well.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Demuzào, to close.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. You know, if we waited for school reform to take effect, this bill would never be in effect. This bill has no fiscal impact, and admite as did in committee, that the proration Would take place this fiscal year with the amount of money that is available. As a matter of fact, I think that proration, as I recall correctly in my note, Was l6l STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislatkve Day June l8, 1991 somewhere around ninety-three percent from 97.5 percent. It is a proposal that we have had here before. It has no fiscal impact until down the road. It seems to me that it affords us the ample opportunity to look at special education reform, and if we Wish to change in the future, We in fact: may do so. But I think today is the proper day for this to be heard, and this is the proper day for it to pass. And 1 would urge your support.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) The question 1s, shall House Bill 827 pass. Those in favor, vote Aye. Opposedy Nay. The voting is open. Have al1 voted kho Wish? Have a11 voted who wished? Have a11 voted who wished? Have all voted who wished? Take the record. Senator Demuzio. ïes.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Sometimes your eyes deeeive youe Senator Demuzio.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President. This is for downstate counties and what ie would do is for those eounties that changed their fiscal year, it permits them permissively to change the amount of county taxes to be leveled for a period greater or less than the year that may be necessary when they have made the change. It also grants to the county executive of Will County the same pokers as eoroners haveg and clerks, and recorders and sheriffs.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All riqht. Senator Keats. Why -- Senator Keats.
This alloWs a county executive to hire personnel without the authority of the county board, Which Would mean We are there substituting executive budget making for leqislative budget making at a county level?
PRESIDING OFFICCR: (SENATOR D'ARCO) l63 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 Senator Dunn.
I don't think so. I think what it does isz gives to the county executive the same powers and uses identical language that We give to coroners, clerksy reeorders and sheriffs. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOI Senator Keats.
Yeah, the difference is: those individuals run on a speeific Statewide job description. County executives are a limited number. We wouldnlt allow the Governor -- Lord knows Jim Thompson never went out and hired people without our authorization.
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator -- Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. T don't believe it's quite as simple as ny good colleague has described. If you will recally when the issue of a county executive Was discussed in this Chamber by Senator Sangmeister, he was saying that the reason they needed that is to kind of clean up the political aspects of executives who run counties, and most particularly, Will County. Little by little, we see us returning to the old system that was, in fact, designed to be abolished by having a county executive. And this bill is another step in that direction. Will County is the only county that has a county executive. They asked for because they wanted a different way of runninq government. Now that they have a person Who, surprisingly enough, 9ot elected - in fact, I think he was more surprised than anybody that he won - they -- but of *he opposite party of the boardz they suddenly want to noW give him the same authority and power that they were trying to take away in the first place by having a county executive. Senator Dunn, -- I have to rise in opposition to because I think 164 & STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SZNATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legkslatkve Day June l8, 1991 you #re really going back and doing some serious damage to what Was: at the beqinning, a pretty good concept. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCOJ Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: Thank you: Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill. It seems only proper that a county executive should have permission to hire their own receptionists, secretaries and other necessary staff members. We now allow this for all of the other elected county officials, and this is a countywide elected official. The coroners can do The clerks can do The recorders can do The sheriffs could do it. And since we have, particularly in Will County, a county executlve now elected countywide, I think they should have thak privilege as kell. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President. too, rise in support of this. When we heard it in.committee, I had some questions, but think that they've been pretty well put to bed. But one of the questions that was raised, I think, needs to be addressed, and that is there is no power or authority being taken away from the board. The board still has the same authority that theybve always had. They Will still do the budgeting. A1l it does, as Senator Holmberg says, is allow that county executive to make that decislon no different than what the Governor of this State Will make the decision for those people that Work for him. think it's a good billz and I think we ouqht to support it. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Al1 right. Senator DeAngelis, for a second time. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you. The powers, as amended in this bill, were brought l65 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 -- they include far more than the secretary and the receptionkst. And frankly, Senator Jaeobs, I would concur With you that doesn 't take akay any of the power of the board. But by the same token, the reason the county executive was passed was to give more power to the board. And essentially what you're doing is takinq away some further power from that board and putting it back to where it used to be. If that's the case, abolish the county executive. But let's not talk about good government on one hand and then use the tactics of most political machines on the other hand.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A1l right. Senator Dunn, to close.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. I'm a little surprised at Senator DeAngelis' attacks on the bille because I think anyone who believes that Senator DeAngelis, had he been elected in Cook County, wouldn 't have wanted this simple authority, would be fooling themselves. Itls rather unlque, think, to hear all this debate and not one abuse has been cited. Not only has there been not one abuse cited by -- or alleged against the Will County executive, but there are no abuses that have been cited dealin: Wieh any coroners, clerks: recorders or sheriffs. We're not giving to the county executive any more authority than those individuals have. This should not be a political football. We should give to the person, no matter who he his, not matter what party he ls# the ability to run his own internal offiees, the same as the other people. That's a11 it says. Don't make it a political football when it shouldn't be one.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A1l right. The question is, shall House Bill 838 pass. Those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have a11 voted who wish?

And House Bill 838, having failed to rereive the required constitutional majority, is hereby declared lost. Yes: point of personal privilege, Senator Demuzio. Your mike doesn't work.
Hello? You know: I really honestly think that this thing -- I really thknk that thks thing is stuck on 29. Could we call the tax bill now?

ACTING SECRETARV: (MR. HARRY) House Bill 857. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Demuzio.
Well, khank you, Mr. President. This didndt have a dissenting vote in the House or in committeez and surely this is not my first bill, so surely we could get more than 29. This bill is for the park districts. As it left the House, it said that trustees of the park district who were empowered as police officers could -- could carry firearms. The bill in the House apparently took away their police powers.

The person must be certified by his attendinq physician of havin: a disability, Senator Raica. And it is in the judgment of his attending physician whether this person has this handicap of the inability to pull or the strength to pull a normal bow. I -- I don 't -- I can't discuss or descrlbe what Senator Hall meant by severe handicap. I think that Was a poor choice of words.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) Senator Raica.
Senator Davidson, you said that the physician will verify that he cannot pull the bow of a normal bow, but he can use the crossbow. However, does Ehe physlcian also certify that this person can - good choice of words here I am looking for can -- can use a crossbow where the physician is comfortable enough with the aim of that individual and the safety of that individual?

172 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18: 1991 I khink that would have to be in the determination by the physician as he examines that individual.

I don't know any person - and I happen to be one who's licensed under the Medical Practice Act thak's going eo certify this person if we have any reason to doubt that it's qoing to be harm to himself or to someone else.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you' Mr. President. The main part of House Btl1 1950 represents a conpromise between the prosecutors and the Legislature and the Appellate Defender's Offiee. I passed a bill out of here - I believe last year - that would shorten the time in which someone Would file a post-conviction relief petition. The Appellate Defender was concerned -- Office was concerned about that portlon. There have been negoelations with the prosecutors and -- and that has been an agreed-upon provision, that would noW allow no proceedinq to be commenced more than six months after the 218 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 denial of a petition for leave to appeal, or if no such petition is filed six months after the date of the order denying certiorari by the United States Supreme Court. The other part of the agreement deals With the eases in which the Appellate Public Defender may be appointed, and that's been a dispute regarding whether they can be appointed in cases involving misdemeanors. The prior law and practice Was that they could be appointed for misdemeanors where there's jail time involved, and that is, in essence, what the agreement provides, and we anended it yesterday to provide thae they can be appointed when the Supreme Court rule so provides. Now there is apparently one part of the bfll the original bill passing the House - although it passed the House by a vote of 162 to 4, that the Departmenk of Conservation still has some problems with, and that is the portion in the original House Bill 1950: Which provides that countg boards may, by ordinance, regulate Within unincorporation -- unincorporated areas the discharge of a firearms in any residential area. And a residential area is defined as, ''Any area within three hundred yards of at leas: three single- or multi-family residenelal structures. I Would ask for your approval of House Bitl 1950.

ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. HARRY) House Bill 2017. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readin: of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. This bill is a product of the Council on Children, which was looking into Child Labor Laws this past year. What the bill does is increase civil penalties for violation of the Child Labor LaW. The penalties - the increase Penalties - are paid into a new fund called the Child Labor Enforeement Fund. The bill has certain hours when individuals can work under age - not hours - but rather days and hours during a day the individual can Work if he's under age sixteen. There is an exemption for paper boys, so they can deliver papers whenever they want. It increases the maximum civil penalty for violation of the Child Labor Law from one thousand dollars to five thousand dollars. The bill Was supported by the Rekail Merchants Council and other business groups as well. I'd be glad to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. Will *he sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Indicates he will.
I noticed you said it's -- the language is included that prohibits sixteen- or seventeen-year-olds from working after 11:00 224 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87*h GENERAL AEEEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8: 1991 a.m. <sic> (p.m.) before a school day, or before 7:00 a.m. on a school day. Youbre talking about -- What about kids that deliver papers? My boys all delivered papers; they were also busboys.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Welch.
Senator, I just said there was an exemption for paperboys. Secondly: we added an amendment on the Ploor to eliminate the provision that prohibits minors workin: later than 11:00 pom . before a school day or earlier than 7:00 a.m. on a school day. That Was an amendment requested by the Retail Merchants, and We put it on, so theyfre -- theyfre alright with the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) The question is, shall House Bill -- oh, Senator Holmberg. He indicates he'll yield.
No mike. Okay. Senator Welch, in committee I remember that there was a certain number of hours that they were restricted in *he number they could work, and this was a concern of mine, because most people in my family have worked a great many hours in order to put themselves through school, and I imagine that's true with a lot of downstate families. What kind of restriction do you have in this bill?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Welch.
Thank you. The restriction applies to students under age sixteen. They can work Saturday and Sunday up to, I believe, up to eight hours per day, but no more than twenty-four in a week. Now these are kids under a9e sixteen. PRESIDING OFFICERJ (SENATOR D'ARCO) A1l right. Senator Holmberg. 225 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSIQN SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991
Well, I think that's probably a better provision than when the bill was introdueed originally - under sixteen I think would be understandable. But as children are preparing for college, I think sometimes they need to work those long hours, or theydre not going to make it. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Schuneman. He indicates helll yield.
Senator, I'm sorry. You may have answered this question, but I I think of corn detasselers, for example, who are often under that age, but work lon: hours for short periods of time during the summer. Would thls -- would this bill apply to them?

PRESIDINC OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMOZIO) Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President. House Bi11 2160 requires that all aides who work at sheltered care facilities be certified nurse's aides. People Who are treated at these homes are disabled patients, elderly and those With Alzheimer's and related ! disorders. Nurse's aides perform personal care tasks such as lifting, carrying, bathing and feedinq these patients, many of which are disabled and some of Which have Alzheimerfs. And I would ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes. A question of the sponsor, if 1 may. Pirst...
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield.
Xeah. First of all, we did exempt the nurse 's aides last year, and now this would seemingly be pukting khem back in again. Is there any reason why we're doinq this?
PRESIDINC OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Marovitz.
The reason that We Would like to do this is because the Deparkment of Aging in the City of Chicago has said that if we are 233 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMDLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legkslative Day June l8e 1991 concerned about quality of care of nursing home residents, that we should make sure that they have the highest amount of trainingy because many of these people do have Alzheimer's disease. Many of these people have other related disorders, and they need the kind of care that -- that they will get at these facilities from certified nurse's aides.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Topinka.
Well, I would question this for the simple reason that there 's a shortage of nurse's aides now. I know my nursing homes are constantly looking for them, and they really don't provide any medical'treatment per se, which.is what kheir licensure here would >- would indicate that you're shootin: for. You -- you may be taking some really viable type folks that We need in this capacity, out of this capacity and making for maybe a rough health care problem in terms of -- of lack of these type of people. Are you taking thls inko consideration?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Marovitz.
am very sensitive to what youdre saying. I think I have a lot have a 1ot of sheltered care facilities. And if this is going to guarantee that the quality of care that those people in need - those Alzheimerfs patients and other elderly - are going to :et is going to be a higher quality careg to mey thatîs Where are priorities ouqht to be.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSONJ Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Prestdent. Questkon of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 234 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legkslatkve Day June l8e 1991 Indkcates he wkll ykeld. Senator Watson.
Senator, how does this differ from the certification that a nurse's aide must have now?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senakor Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZJ -- doesn't differ at a11 except in sheltered care facilities, there is no requirement that the -- that there be a certified nurse 's aide.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- Senator Watson.
So sheltered care does not have it - skilled care does. riqht. The answer ko that was yes. What Wedre doing here is creatin: a major cost factor that's going to be placed on shelter cares now. And as the previous speaker mentionede there is an incredible shortage right now of aides, at least in my parttcular area -- of certified nurse's aides who qualify to work in in the skilled care nursing homes. NoW this is going to create that same shortage now in shelter care. And -- and it also is going to raise the cost of providing health care. And I'm sure that -- and as you Rentioned, youfre interested in qualiky care. And I appreciate that, but with that goes a higher cost. And right now we aren't payin: for what we -- what -- what these shelter cares are delivertng. The Department of publie Aid and Medicaid is not paying enough now. And now we're going to ask ehem to -- to raise those rates at a -- loeal level. And Who's :oing to pay? Itds goin: to be the private individual - those people who are out there paying -- paying for themselves. Theylre the ones that are :oing to have their rates raised, because Medieaid and the Department of Public Aid isnlt willing to negotiate a rate 235 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June l8, 1991 increase, and quite frankly, canft afford a rate increase. And -- and as a result, the private-pay people are going to have to pick up this cost. I -- I appreciate and understand what youdre trying to do, Senator, but I do think this is going to be a real -- have a real negative impact on the nurslng caie industry of khis State. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Donahue.
Well, thank you: Mr. President. Very briefly - what youdre trying to do, Senator, is require these nurse's aide to have medical education for skills that they are not needed to perform in -- in the nursing home or in the sheltered eare, beeause they don't provide the medical treatment that these nurse's aides are going to be eertified to provide. And I would stand in opposition as well.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Pawell.
Question for the . sponsor. Is -- Senator, is there any reason why Chicago. if they feel they have a problem, can't do this throuqh their -- through their own council? I mean, you know, the problem I've got with this bill, very frankly, is we've qot some shelter care facilieies in Dupage County that -- that are functioning fine, but I know the -- the workers that are coming in are not nurse's aides per se. We've got several senior home sharing sroups where iE is basically shelter care, and -- and they 've got sort of a housekeeper that does tbe housekeeping and -- and helps them :et dressed if they need to, and helps them in and out of the bathtub if they need eo, but certainly they don't give any medication, because they don't need Eo have that kind of medication. And I donft understand why, if City of Chicago feels they need thls' they don't just do 236 STATE QF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 45th Legislative Day June 18, 1991
