Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 1316 amends the County Economic Development Project Area Property Tax Allocation certification. It extends the time for summation of DCCA'S report on certified projects. The County Economic Development Project Area Property Allocation Act was enacted in 1990, and is limited to St. Clair and Madison Counties. This Statute grants permissive authority to these counties to establish quasi-tax increasement <sicl finance areas and to issue bonds which are to be repaid through incremental increases in property taxes, all of which requires DCCA certification. The statute requires DCCA to submit a report to the General Assembly detailing the number of economic development projects it has approved, the number of jobs created, the number of private investors and revenue's impact. This report must be submitted before 3/10/93. Because negotiatins for a major investment proposal of St. Clair County has moved more slowly than originally planned, the bill proposes the reporting requirements from 3/10/93 on and before that. The Statute sunsets the entire qrant of authority in St. Clair and Madison County on or before 6/10/93. This is an uncorrected technical error from the orlqinal bill. This bill gives a certain time to sunset; that is only 7/1/94. ask for the most favorable support for Lhis legislation.

20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator Jones, one of my colleagues was konderinq if one of the qualificaeions for this particular lieensure was Whether you had ever been married. Some of our staff is beginning to wonder, Senator Jones, with a1l these licensure bills that youfve had this year, are you running ads in professional magazines to attract al1 these?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONES) No. Across the State of Illinois -- they say, ''Wel1y you are a very good sponsoryl' and with the Minority Spokespersons, such as yourself, that's how you end up with al1 of khese bills. You know the Licensing Committee is a very busy committee. So# I dan't run any ads. believe you must tell the people to come to me.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DIARCO) A1l riçht. Senator Schaffer.
Senator Jones, I Would be forced to coneede you are obviously a good sponsor, because we have licensed just about everything that moves, breathes, walks or quacks this year. But I wanted you to know that some of us on this side of the aisle have figured out your ultimate plan. And it's now beeoming obvious. It took us a while. We were a little slow. But it's clear now that you are attempting to license every Illinois eitizen. We will shortly be licensing the homeless, I suppose virtually every group that isn't licensed. We'11 probably have to eventually lieense the unlicensed as a special category. This will then put us in the posture of never needlnq to increase the State sales or income tax, simply because We can put a surcharge on the lieense fees. And since every Illinois citizenz including school students - who are a group that haven't thus far been licensed and are desperately in need of licensure - will qualify, and we can have a 21 STATE OF TLLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20y 1991 graduated tax on licenses. I would, for instance, vote for a much hisher tax on 1aw licenses and medieal licenses, for instanceg and We wouldn 't need to ever increase another tax. Buty you know, some of us think that we are going a litele crazy on this licensure, and marriage counselors -- I really donft think anybody has made the argument to me that there's any justifiable reason to license these people, other than they are attempting to establish a little bit of a lock on apparently an industry that is growing in our area, in our State, and our nation. There is no public reason justifying this licensure of this profession. I think maybe we ought to slou down this march towards total lieensure by voting No on this one.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Dunn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I'd like to know if Senator Schaffer's correct. Do you plan on lieensing politicians?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Schuneman.
Thank you: Mr. President. I wonder if the sponsor once this bill is passed, Senatorz do you have plans to mandate that the fees for these counselors be covered by health insurance?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
That has not been in my plans at this timez Senator Schuneman. I -- this legislation -- this group is a group that has been out there doing family counseling as it relate to mental health. They do it as it relate to drug abuse, and they work With DASA; they Work with mental health agencies across this State and very many other social service agencies. And they do a splendid job. They want to be sure that we have professionals out there doing the job rather than one Who hangs themselves out there as a counselor that in many instances are doin: more harm than good. And so this is the reason why . they sought lieensure and title protection under this Act.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall. Senator Schuneman.
Thank you. Just -- you might give that a 1ot of thought, Senatar, because I'm sure next year you may want to come back and mandate that the fees for these people be covered by health insurance, because I'm sure there are a 1ot of these people who are really sick of the marriage that theydre in. And so, you could probably make a case for sickness in this case. But since there has been absolutely no case made at a11 for the need to license these folks, *e ought to seriously consider stopping ehis - - this tidal wave of licenses witb this bille or certainly the 23 STATE 0F ILLIHOIS 87th GENEZAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 next one to come along.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Hall.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he will.
Senator Jones, what does -- in other Words, if a person is in any counseling, therapy or anythingy are you planning to license these people?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
There are groups -- there are persons who hold themselves out as narriage and family therapists. The problem comes in that persons can go out there and hang out their shingle and there is ' no control Whatsoever to protect those persons who go to them to seek counselinq. So the the Organization of Marriage and Family Therapists kho W&11 have the academic backqroundy be it in psychology, be in counseling, they have come tögether and said, 'IHey, we've got to proteet the public good so that We have qualified people out here offering advice as relate to therapy along the marriage lines.''
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Hall.
Well, you went into my second question. I was going to ask you who wants this. I mean, it's these people you say that are out there noW and they want to stop anybody else from being in that, right?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) 24 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Lesislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator Hall.

No, they don't Want to stop anyone. They want, Senator Hally those personsv be they qiving caunseling as ît retate to family problems whieh -- could stem from drug addiction; it could stem from financial reason. but the person Who are hanging themselves out there to do this and are advertising, in many instances are noK even qualified to give tbat type of advlee. They do not have the academic training, nor do they have the clinical background to even deal with it. This is an attempt to try to control so that you have professionals out there giving this type of advice. That's a11 it does.

PRESTDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
Yeah, thank you, Mr. President. This is not a licensing bill. What it does is delete the requirements for a foreign or alien title insurance company to reserve a higher amount of money if so required by the 1aw of their respective jurisdietion. Also, it deletes the provision allowing a lender to refuse a loan and reject that title insurance or reject the policy. This portion passed before, and the first portion was already in the bill, came over frcm the House. I ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Any discusslon? not, the question is, shall 26 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Leqislative Day June 20: 1991 House Bill -- DeAngelis. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Question of the sponsor.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANCELIS: Well, would you mind pulling it ou* of the record? Because think you are wrong.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
What did you say? Pull it out of the record beeause you think I'm wrong? This is what my staff analysis said of the bill. This is how the b1ll appeared in committee. It's how it appeared over to the House. did put an amendment on ity and the amendment dealt with the provisions that we passed out of here in another bill which dealt -- would actually deal with the -- the provisions as it relate to a lender to refuse a loan or reject title insuranee. Now, that portion passed out on another bill, got hung up in the House. But the original billy as it relate to foreign tltle insurance companies, claim they do not have fair competition in the -- in the domestic title insurance companies in 27 STATE OF ILLTNOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20w 1991 the State of Illinois. So, this is all the bill does.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator Geo-Karis.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) He indicates he will.
If understand your bill correctly, what you're asking is that foreign title companies, say a Florida company for example, must maintain the same reserves as the Illinois companies maintain . Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
That is correct.
All right. Mr. President and Ladles and Gentlemen of the Senate, I speak in favor of the bill, because the way the law is noW in Illinois, the out-of-state company only has to maintain such reserves as the 1aw of the domicile, Which means only whatever Plorida requires. So if Florida requires less, they can put less. I donlt think it's fair to the Illinois companies. think they should put the same amount of reserves as the Illinois companies do for title companies. And I think this is a good bille and I certainly suppork and ask favorable considerakion from all of us.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) All right. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, I1m not so sure that what the bill does is the issue. Could you please explain the amendment you put on this bill? 28 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
This is the same as Senate Bill 693, which you voted for, and what it does is -- when we passed the Title Act last year, this portion was unclear as relate to the AG's Office. Now, there is a fight amongst the various title companies. What it does is delete the provision allowing a lender to refuse a loan or reject the title insurer or reject the policy if it is believed that the title insurance Would afford insufficient financial protection. Now , this is an attempt to clean up that portion of the Act Which was passed last year. That's why I amended it onto this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) A1l right. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, Senator Jones, could I ask the Chair to pull tbis for just a couple of minutes, come back to it for clarification? don't want to beat up on a bill that might be a good bill, but there is a serious problem with this amendment that would llke to clarify.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Itfs up to Senator Jones. He doesn't want to pull the bill. Senator Fawell.
Will -- will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Yeah -- yes.
Sorry, Emil. You know: part of the' problem, think, is ehat according to our analysis, the banking industry is against this bill with this amendment. And we are trying to find out - and think that's what Senator DeAngelis is trying to find out - is if 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 indeed they are still agalnst it, and if so, khy. Tf PRESIDING OFFïCER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator Jones.
Well: Senator Pawell, I don ft Work for the banking industry, nor do I serve in that capacity. When Senate Bill 693 was here, not one of their representatives came to my office or even contacted me concernkn: the bill, which passed out of here unanimous. Now , you -- like I said, haven't talked to the bankin: industry, and I don't work for them. They may have some concerns. I don't know. But I would think that if they did have some concerns, they owe the sponsor the courtesy of -- to come to him , not only on this bill, but on the previous one that passed. And I have not heard from them, and I ask for a favorable vote.
PRBSIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) right. Senator DeAngelis, for the last time. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well: Senator Jones, think in the past -- I mean, I don't expect you to pull your bill and wait comes around the Calendar. But I would like, if the Chair gives you permission, to wait five more minutes, and I think we can clear this up.
PRESIDINC OPFICER: (SENATOR D'ARCO) Senator -- Senator Jones.
As I indicated, they had ample time to talk to the sponsor of this bill. Tf they're concerned about the previous bill about this amendment, they owe me that courtesy.

Thank youz Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This is a Department of Agriculture administration bill that has quite a number of provisions in it that are basieally clarifying language. The committee amendment basically declares what kind of and when pesticide-contaminated water may be used -- reapplied to farmland. There's another provision that the Comptroller requested to -- that establishes the procedure on how elaims will be paid out of the Agrichemical and Incident Response Fund. There was another amendment offered by Senator Schuneman that brings up to date the Illinois Pesticide Act section dealing with the aggregate amounts of insurance, and then another amendment that was simply a technical correction to another amendment. So that's what the bill does. I'd be happy to ansWer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Hawkinson.
Senator, perhaps you can answer; otherwise, perhaps Senator 34 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Schuneman. There have been some people in this business who have had difficulty getting any insurance coverage because of the earlier requirements of law. Is Senator Schuneman's amendment drafted kn such a way so you think that these companies will now be able to get insurance Written?
PRESIDIHG OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMZZIO) Senator Schuneman.
I don't think it'll have any effect on thaty Senator. The purpose of this amendment was simply to show and put into the Statute aggregate limits of insurance Which appear on probably ninety percent of the insurance policies that are sold todayy but were not mentioned in the original Statutory limits thàt needed to be provided. The current 1aW calls for pesticide applicators to prove insurance up to limits of fifty and one hundred thousand bodily injury, fifty thousand dollars property damage, or a one hundred thousand dollar combined single limit. What the change does is simply say that they also must have an aggregate limit of five hundred thousand dollars. So I don't believe that it's goin: to make any change in that.

Thank you, Mr. President. What this bill will do is basically include as a survivor persons who would be eligible to reeeive an annuity as the survivor of an employee or annuitant, except for the faet that the person didn't attain age 55. The survivors are paying the cost of the benefits. An amendment that was added at the request of the AFSCME group Would allow for the health insurance coverage of indlviduals uho are -- college students who 37 STAQE OF ILLINOTS 87th GENERAL ASSZMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20e 1991 are declaring themselves emancipated minors for purposes of obtaining student loans and other similar reasons would be included under the insurance -- health insurance of the parents. IId be glad to answer any questions. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIOJ Is there diseussion? Senator -- Senaeor Schuneman.
Thank yoa, Mr. President. Well, simply to make the point that what the sponsor seeks to do here is add additional benefits to the State Employees Group Insurance Program on top of benefits which the APSCME union and the administration have already agreed upon. Now We've not yet dealt With bills that would, in effeet, ratify the agreement between the union and the admlnistration. And so I 'm not sure how all of that is going to play out, but I do know that this is beyond the seope of What the administration agreed to and What AFSCME *as expecting. There's no question but what there may be some people out there who want coverage for their youngsters Who, once they reach age twenty-three -- but that's true of a lot of people in the world. I mean, there are a lot of group plans that work exactly like the State of Illinois Group Insurance Program that will cover dependent children up to age twenty-three, and then onee they're twenty-three, youdve got to go buy insurance on your own. So what, in effect, welre doing by passage of this is inflating the State budget by something over a million dollars a year, and there's no appropriation to pay for it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discusskon? notz Senator Welch may close.
Well, basically, I'd just like to say that this was not precluded in any agreement by AFSCME, as far as I understand. In fact, we're not even sure if it was on the table to be negotiated. 38 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 But this actually affects everyone here. If you have a child who 's in college and the child announces that he is emancipated for purpose of getting some type of a benefit from the sehool that you get by a student loan or a scbolarship, by saying you're on your own so it doesn't look like you have so much money - you 're not dependent on your parents - to do that you suddenly are not on your parents' health insurance. So if you have a ehild Who's nineteen or twenty years old, up to age twenty-three, they dre a full-time student and they're unmarried, they 're still your children for purposes of paying for their health bills. It seems to me that they should be covered by your insurance. would move for an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senakor Welch.
Tbank you, Mr. President. What this bill does is include heating oil underground .storage tanks under the regulations requiring that tanks be regulated. This is an agreed bill Worked out between the Petroleum Marketers' Assoeiation, the Environmental Frotection Agency, Pollution Control Board and the State Fire Marshal. basically requires the Pollution Control Board to adopt rules concerning heatin: oi1 underground storage tanks that are identical to rules for otber underground storage tanks. I'd be glad to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Scbaffer.
Well, you know, our venture thus far into this underground tank thing has been sueh a nightmare. I don't think there 's a Member on the Floor bere who hasn't been besieged by people that 47 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 have been -- had their lives literally racked and ruined by our regulations, many cases tbrough no tault of their ewn. Now, happen to live in a part of the State that has an awful lot of unineorporated homes, and at one point, a large number of them, think, were heated by fuel oil. Now, I assume that there's still a 1ot of those tanks that have been abandoned as homes eonverted to gas and just sbut down their tanks twenty years ago. Now, you know, I'm very concerned about the environment; but: you know, based on a fifty- or sixty-thousand-dollar h;t for some guy with a two-bedroom raised ranch: you know - this -- this just makes me nervous. have had so many people whose lives have been just savaqed by our kank law so far finaneiallyz personally, emotionally - and now to inflict it on homeowners. And I think of all those school dlsericts that have those tanks. I would hope we could come up with a you should pardon the play on words - kinder and gentler version tban to inflict those fiends that wedve inflicted on the rest of the tank holders on this partieular category of people. I -- I think every Member here ought to think this one overe because you may have some people in your offiee in the not-too-diskant future losing their homes over this one.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Eurther discussion? Senator Rigney.
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICZR: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Rigney.
Just so I clearly understand What's goin: on here. Are we goin: to subject every homeowner, every farmer: everybody that has any kind of an underground tank to the same regulations that perhaps youdre finding now with commercial establishments?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 48 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator Welch.
No, absolutely not, Senator. This bill doesnlt apply to farms, and lt doesn't apply to residential homeowners. It Was a nice speech, Senator Schafferr but doesn't apply to what you spoke about. Doesn't apply to homes.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Rigney. Further discussion? Senakor -- I'm sorry.
Okay. Then who does it apply to that it does not apply to now?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Welch.
Well, applies to everybody wbo's not a residence or a farm , which Would mean everybody who is in a business, including heating oil. If you go to a a business that sells heating oil, that would be who it would apply to. mainly, or large businesses that have underground heating oil tanks. Thatls Who it would apply to. But not your homes, not your farms. So, it would mainly be commercial.
PRESIDINC OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will. Senakor Geo-Karls.
This would apply, for example, to a groeery store that may have had some underground tanks for heatin: oil. Would it not?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch. 49 ! STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SCSSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 SENATOR WELCH: they have a tank of more than eleven hundred gallons and placed it underground for some reason, the answer is yes. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS; Aecording to your bill, it said if a tank Was not registered by July 28, 1989, the owner would not be eligible for the ten thousand dollar deduetible that is applicable now. Is that correet? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH: That is the date for underground gasoline storage tanks. We are putting in a neW date for heating oil tanks, because we dre just regulating them just now. So obviously we have to put in a date in the fukure. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Mr. Presldent and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I've had a lok of complaints about this original Aet, and it does apply to very small businesses. And I'm just wondering if We wouldn't be better off to let this bill fall instead of pass, because I don't think we have enough information and expertise to do a good job on it with the present bill. And I spgak against the bill. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Sebuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN : Thank youe Mr. President. As remember the 1aW - and, Senator, hope you'll correct if I'm wrons - buE as I remember it, the Underground Storage Tank Fund excluded beating oil. Is 50 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 that eorrect?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
That's eorrect, Senator.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator --
And also, as I remember underground heating oil tanks were not subject to the same kind of of EPA restrictions as petroleum and other derivatives of crude oil. Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
There were no restrictions on underground heatinq oi1 tanks at that time.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Well then, by virtue of this legislation: are we making the same kind of requirements apply to heating oi1 tanks of over eleven hundred gallons as we are to a11 petroleum tanks and putting them into the Fund? Is that what Welre doing?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Welch.
Yes, that's basically what wefre doing. PRESIDING OPFICERI (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
And on the tax issue, was -- I think the -- as I recall, the tax applied equally to a1l kinds of petroleum . In other words, is STATE OF ILLTNOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 heating oil -- are they paying a tax on the heating oil?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Welch.
The bill doesn't speak to that at all, Senatcr. It doesn't affect what they are doing now.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Well, so I ask you What we dre doing now.
PRESIDTNG OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
We're taxinq the wholesale sale of fuel oile but not the existence of tanks. If you have an underground heatin: oi1 tank for your store, when you buy the fuel oil, you pay a tax on that fuel oil at that point. That would be the only tax involved.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Well' thank you. And to the bill: -- I appreciate your answers. I guess What We Would be doing here by passing this bill is making certain fuel oi1 tanks susceptible to the same kind of enforcement that we have on -- on al1 other gasoline tanks. I guess my own reaction to that is that maybe we'd better wait a fek years before we take this step, because we're really in the middle of a mess on our -- our gasoline tanks, and we haven't got that cleaned up yet. Maybe We better Wait a little While before we proceed against Ehe heating oil tanks.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Macdonald.
52 ' j E STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 1 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Thank you, Mr. President. The whole issue of underground storage tanks is very complicated. Senator Welch and our Committee have done everythin: possible to move forward with what must be done environmentally. I think that this is a reasonable bill. We have tried to accommodate, and Senator Welch has Worked very hard on this piece of legislation. This piece of legislation came out of the Committee unanimously, and I would urge your support for this piece of legislation. I think itss a good piece of legislation and a needed piece of legislation, and I would ask for your support. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Welch may close. SENATOR WELCH: Wellr 1et me say somethlng that you probably don 't expect where this came from. This was requested by the school boards of the State of Illinois. Wefre looking at it from the perspective of those who have tanks. Let's look at it from the perspective of those individuals in Illinois who have to drink clean water. That includes a 1ot of people. And what we did with the Underground Storage Tank Law Was make sure that when tanks leak, the State doesn't have to pay to clean them up. Why should we here pay for a gas station that doesn't take care of its underground tank? That was the argument then. The argument now is the same for a heating oil tank. If you've 9ot an underground heating oil tank and you 're leaving the building, youlre sellin: it to somebody, pull the thing up, not leave it in Ehe ground to let it leak into the groundwater and contaminate your neighbors' water. Get rid of the thing. What the underground storage tank law does, is it protects those people wlth those tanks, because it sets up a Fund Where you have an indemnification after a eertain amount is paid in, like a hundred thousand dollars or more. You can tap into the Fund if you are registered. So it benefits the people who have 53 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 these tanks. It doesn't hurt them. There is noW a federal 1aw that requires Illinois do this. The Federal Government is going to go in and take care of these if Illinois doesndt. They're saying to Illinois, 'lYou have to do this.'' This isnft something new that we pulled out of the air. It's a federal requirement. We 've created a Indemnification Fund to help people with the tanks so they would end up# in effect, belng able to tap into the Fund so they don't have to pay as much. If you donft have the Fund, and you have a tank in your backyard, the EPA tells you to move it, you pay for one hundred pereent up to whatever lt costs. Under this, after a hundred tbousand dollars, if you're reqistered in time, you tap into the Fund and youdve got a deductible up to a hundred thousand dollars. This is a bill that helps the owners of these tanks: not punishes them . I Would move for an affirmative vote.

Why, thank you, Mr. President, Madam Electrician and Members of the Senate. The -- House Bill 1797 is Illinoisl entering into the federal Ryan Whlte funding. Basically, what it does is it provides for the Department of Public Aid to pay far the health insurance coverage out of these new federal funds for those people who have HIV positive virus indications and are -- could be 56 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 i ! insured either under COBRA or under some type of group health insurance. This would allow those prograas to continue and for !: this federal program to allow the State to attract those funds to pay the premiums for health insurance for HIV positive patients. And I Would ask for a favorable roll call.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? If not, then the question isy shall House Bill 1-7-9-7 pass. Those in favor will -- Senator Schuneman.
Question of the sponsor, Mr. President. Senator, to what extent might passage of this bill attract more people into the State CHIPS plan? Is there a connection here? And if noty would you please briefly tell me why not?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Carroll. SENATOR CARROLL; Yes: I asked CHIP that question myself when I first took the bill. Actually, it has the opposite effect. People Who are currently insured under COBRA or private -- under a COBRA , self-insured or private, their premiums wduld be paid under this plan - this federal money plan - instead of having to go on CHIP, because they kould have sustained coverage With a source to pay the premiums. And the premiums are only premiums to a private, non-state-funded insurance plan. Secondly: those seeking CHIP would have an alternate source, if they were HIV positive, than going to CHIP. And thirdly, it Would even eover some of those currently on the CHIP waiting list, who therefore would no longer need to be on the CHIP waiting listr and open up some slots for non-Hlv positive people into CHIP.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion?

Is the person who's going to tape this responsible by this Act to tape the entire proceedinq? Because if he 's going to use it - or he or she that's up review is going to use it as evidence, as it says in my analysisr it should be that the tape should be all-inclusive; that they cannot take selected parts of the hearing that they taped to use as evidence which could be skewed against the board.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 1815 addresses a problem.

I'd ask for a favorable roll call.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes, well, two items. First of all, a point of personal privilege, in that if we would direct our attention to the back galleriesy I have a significant delegation of constituenes from the 43rd and 44th House and 22nd Senatorial Districts, and they're all here from my area. And if we eould a1l give them a big welcome to Springfield before they leave.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l riqht. Welcome.
Second of all, as to this bill, this bill looks very similar to something that had already come out of the Senate that I Was the sponsor of. It has a tendency to affect the Regional Superintendent's Office, or could concelvably be germane to that. Would this be going into a Conference Committee to again help our 60 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 friend Richard Martwickp in any way?

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Schuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN) 61 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Thank you, Mr. President. A couple of questions of the sponsor. Senator, I see this Act sunsets in December, 1993. Are you now extending that for ten years?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
Yes, that's what the bill saysy yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Did you hold Statewide hearings on this issue, Senator, and go through the usual sunset process?
PRESIDTNG OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZTO) Senator Jones.
Yes, they did.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
What do you mean, they did?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
Those that are involved in the profession as such and these were the recommended changes that are included herein. And this is the reason why the bill is this way. It's unlike the Insurance Code Which impact on millions of people across the State of Illinois. The tko cannot be eonsidered the same.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Yeah, I understand. This only impacts on the eourts. But why l 62 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 are we extending this this year, two years before it expires? And in the case of the Insurance Code that you just dealt withy you weren't willing to deal with that until this year and then you -- then you want to extend it only one year. What are the differences here? I don't quite understand this.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
The difference between the two is that the Insurance Code impacts on every individual lifey al1 eleven million four hundred thousand people in the State of Illinois. This is a very, very small qroup that is ltcensed by the Department of Professional Regulation. The changes that are made herein have been agreed to by those in the profession, as well as the Department: and the Senate Bill With the similar provisions have already passed this Body. This ls just the House Bill. So it's the difference in the two. And I'm quite sure, you bein: involved in the industry and a Member of the illustrious Insurance Committee, you understand the difference.
PRESIDINC OPPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Well, I -- I have some understanding of the insurance business, and I have no particular quarrel with the shorthand reporters either: but it is contrary to our usual practice here. We normally wait until an Act expires and then hold hearings and deeide whether or not we should renew the -- the Act; whereas, here it appears to me what you're doing is reaching out ahead of the expiration date and renewing it for ten years. And I'm just curious as to why youdre doing that.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones. 63 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991
Well, in my previous remarks, I indlcated to you that those in the profession have sat down With the Department, worked out what needs -- changes need to be in their Act, and they have agreed to this. This is the reason why these changes are made, and this is the reason why the extension is glven.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SZNATOR DEMUZIO) Question is, shall House -- Idm sorry. Senator Jacobs.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. I guess I just have to play Jack Schaffer's advocate here. And I guess I'm getting to the point, too, to where -- wouldntt we be better off to come up with a bill that lists those that We're not licensing? It would be a hell of a 1ot shorter.

Senator Jones, would you explain to me, What is, ''Interior Desiqn Profession Title Act to eliminate the examination provided by the Department?'' Are we eliminating examinations? 72 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jones.
No, We are not eliminating the examination. In most instances, the Department contracts out for the exam. So the exam would be given by the National Council for Interior Design Qualificationsy and these are the groups that usually the Department contracts with, so no longer -- the Department doesn't have to be responsible for contracting. Doin: the exam will be prepared by the National Organization? and they would take that exam .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hall.
Well, is the Department of Insurance approving this?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jones.
Department of Insurance doesnlt have anything to do with this. This is the Department of Professional Regulation. These are all -- actually are licensed under the Department and the Department of Professional Regulation usually contracts for the exam or they may write the exam. What this does: with the agreement of the Department, às remove them the responsibility for administering khe interior design exam. Matter of fact, it saves the Department aome money by doing lt this way . PRESIDING OFFICER) (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Butler.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just one rather facetious comment. Maybe what We ought to do is make a list of everyone we haven't licensed and have some sort of an omnibus bill, and just get them 73 t I I 87S tT hAT GEN0 EF RAI LLL AI SN SO EI MS BLY j REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20 # 1991 a11 all at once. We're kind of nibbling away one I can't understand licensing interior designers.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jones.
Well, in response to the freshman Senator from the other side, this is not a new licensure Act. This is Acts that are already currently licensed by the Department of Professional Regulations. Contained in this bill are several changes that the Department has reguested and those who are licensed by the Department, Who regulate themselves. This is not a new licensure Act. And to compile everything into one bill like that, sometimes the professions disagree, the Department disagrees. So that's the reason why we have indlvidual bills. They are licensed individually, and that's the reason why itds done this way.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Butler.
Senator, my comment stands. It was facetious. understand it's not a new one. But I think it's a legitimate comment.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Lady from Dupage, Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. Will the sponsar yield Eor a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
According to our analysis, it says that public occupancies and public assembly areas include things like prisons, jails, hospitals, mental health facilities, nursing care and convalescent home, child care centers: publie auditoriums and stadiums, public assembly areas in hotels and motels containing more than ten articles of seating furniture. We're goinq to have -- all these places are goin: to be required to have sprinkling systems? Is that what we're doing?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator O'Daniel.
No, theydre not al1 required, but, you know, the ones that have there are existing ones that have sprinkler systems and if STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 they have those sprinkler systems, they're not as stringent as the ones that don 't have the sprinkler systems in them.

That's right.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. There Was a 1ot of confusion about this bill in Commlttee, but Senator OîDaniel has worked very hard to attempt to rectify the problem. The State Fire Marshal's Office originally testified on this bill, and actually, the gentleman who testified from the State Fire Marshal's Office had no reason testifying on behalf of this bill. He was not the person that Was suppased to testify. Senator O'Daniel and I have spoken eo the State Fire Marshal's Office. %e removed the tWo amendments that were on this 76 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 bill. This is the bill the Way it passed the House. It is in the form that the State Fire Marshal wanted it in to begin With. It just states that regarding furniture testing, it goes along with California's standards. There was confusion. That confusion has been correctedz and think it's a good bill. The State Fire Marshal needs this bill regarding chemically treated furniture, as far as burning factors. And I just solicit everyone on this side's Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator O'Daniel, to close.
I would just ask for a favorable vote.

House Bill 1982. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readinq of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) For wha: purpose does the Lady from Dupage seek recognition? Gentkeman from Tazewellr Senator Luft.
Thank you, Mr. President. genate Bill 1982 is desiqned to solve a problem that is happening in the hotel and food industry. When a customer receives the bill, it has the cost of the food and beverages. It also has a service charge applied to the bill STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 and then tips. Tips are exempt from sales tax . The problem is that in the service charge pottion, theze are gifts oz tips with - - incorporated Within the servëce charge. Under the present law, those -- that income is being taxed for sales tax purposes. And so what We are trying to do with House Bitl 1982, exempt from sales tax purposes the proceeds of a mandatory service eharge that are in lieu of tips.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Riqney.
Well, Mr. Presidentf I think this is not necessarily a good bill. It's one that maybe stood alone in voting against during the time of the committee hearing. But let's faee it, there's the possibility for some shiftlng here as far as what constitutes a tip compares to what constitutes Wages. The potential here is that as we go along there 's no cap whatsoever in this legislation to say hoW much can be shifted into this so-called service charqe. As understand, you know , it started out at a rather modest figure and then it -- We kept adding to Fifteen percent kind of became the standard in the industry. NoW I think maybe it's more like seventeen percent. And this can be expanded far beyond those people who we usually think of as the people who serve our food and are responsible for serving us at a banquet. I don't think there's much dlsagreement about the -- the waiters and the waitresses and there's not much disagreement maybe about the bus boy. But I think this could be expanded in such a way that you could probably include the cooks and the salad girlz and you can probably even extend it so far as to someone that actually hauled the food to the banquet site. I'm not sure you want to create a11 those loopholes in our law, and I suggest that, even though it may pass today, that probably some General Assembly in years to come will find that there will be some abuses that 78 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th begislative Day June 20, 1991 will simply have to be corrected. So I'm not sure that we want to pass this into 1aw at this time.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Lady from Dupage, Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. I brought this issue up in front of JCAR. As understand this legislation retroactively overrules the Department of Revenue's erroneous treatment of mandatory servkce charges under the existin: Section of the Statute that was meant to be a broad exemption and which applies to any compensation paid to employees for a banquet. This was originally Senator Mitchlerss legislation. personally talked to Senator Mitchler and I reviewed the legislative debate when this came up in front of JCAR . And I don't think there Was any doubt that this sales tax exemption was a mandatory service charge and -- and -- and it was for the idea that when somebody had a banquet and -- and if we arey for instance, havin: a banquet for a fund raiser and We are charged a hundred dollars a plate and there is an automatic fifteen percent, twenty percent, Whatever they eharge us, on that plate for service, that that, in effect, is a tip. And just like we don't pay a tax on a tip When we go out and maybe spend a hundred dollars on a on a dinner, we should not be chargin: a -- a tax on that -- that tip, in effect. It has always been the legislators' intent that al1 or any part of the mandatory service charge should be exempt from sales taxesy as long as the employer doesn't pockeE -- pockek the service charge. House Bill 1982 clarifies the legislative original intent on this Statute: and I certalnly urge the Members to support this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Gentleman from Cook, President Rock.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Genttemen of the Senate. 79 f i l STATE OF ILLINOIS l i 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY I REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 too, rise in stronq support of House Bill 1982. I had the opportunity to have a conversation With the -- with the Restaurant Association and the hotel/motel folks some months ago, and this is a matter of some real concern. You take a place like the Hyatt Hotel, who is big knto the banquet business - the fact is that what the Department of Revenue is attempting to do simply isn't fair. And, Senator Rigney, suppose We could all have some skepticism about virtually every measure we pass around here, you dre going focus on the possible abuse that might happen in the future. The fact of the matter is this is a business; and, if the service charge gets out of hand by any purveyorz they are not going to be in business very long. think this is an eminently reasonable proposition, and I would urge an hye vote.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Gentleman from Cook, Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. 1, too, rise in support. have been usually a strong advocate of tbe Department's position, but really believe that this opposition to this bill by the Department exceeds the normal levels of paranoia that that Department should exhibit.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Luft, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President. Only to amplify What Senator Rock said. This is a business. someone gets a service charge that is totally out of line, I'm certain that the person receiving that bill is going to ask many questions and cause many problems for the group that is performing the function in the future. So don 't don't have any fear wlth this. think it's fair to those people that are receiving parts of some sort of the service charge, and I don't think they should be assessed a sales tax on 80 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 2k *.1:: So I Would hope that the Senate Would pass House Bi1l 1982.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Lady from Dupage, Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 1996 comes to us from the Seeretary of State 's Office and the Illinois Library Association. The Library Systems Act is amended to increase the annual per eapita grant from $1.52 to $1.558 and increases the annual area grant from $54.00 to $55.10 per square mile. And under current law these grants are administered by the Secretary of State as State Librarianz and theylre the sole source of funding for library systems. There are eighteen library systems kn the gtate of Iltinois. This bill does not attempt to adjust the formula to address the population changes. It proposes instead to adjust the formula in order that a1l monies anticipated to be available can be disbursed and it addresses the Statefs requirement that the 1990 census data may be used. Some of the Members of the Committee have received the breakdown by library system . And if you'll -- what will happen under this bill is that 81 ! 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 there will be less money for some library systems because of the shift in populationz but because of the increase in the amount per - - for the grants, the the reduction in their amount will be less than if this bilk is not passed. So that, in other words, they'll be getting more money With this bill than they would be this bill is not passed.

Thank you, Mr. Preskdent. This bill deals with pre-employment questionnaires and the questions asked on them.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Jacobs, to close.
I think that's possible, but, yeah, this is permissive. And What it does, it allows those organizations -- if it is a bird dog organization, it allows them to spend the money to curb or to help those organizations. In this case with the zebra mussely it could even have an organization that might want to protect them or go after them a little heavier, and it could be used for that also.

Thank you, Mr. President. What this bill does - it requires the notice of any eonviction of a violation of the Environmental Protection Act or settlement of an enforcement action to be filed in the office of the county recorder in the county in which the landowner who was a party to the action resides. It also requires the Department of -- of Public Hea1th to perform blood screening for former employees of a facility with polychlorinated biphenyl eontamination on the National Priority List within one year of the effective date of the Act. That part of the bill we passed out of the Senate, and the House fooled around with it and ended up Tabling the bill. Ifd be glad to answer any questions.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Welch. I think you stumped him.
Well, the environmental notice is if youdre going to buy a piece of property: you will know if the person who owns it had an environmental problem with that property, so you don't go buying property that's got -- that is contamlnated and you have to clean it up.

Once it's cleaned up, the notice Wil1 be vacated or removed When it's cleaned up.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Karpiel.
Thank youy Mr. President. Senator Welch, Ploor Amendment No. -- could you tell me don't know anythin: about it# obviously - the Lasalle Electric Plantr Why We're going to be giving money to the Department of Public Health to do blood screenings for people that worked at Lasalle Electric Plant. Was there some contamination problem there or someehing?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Welch.
The electrical utility company is a Super Fund site, in which the Federal Government has spent over twenty-five million dollars cleaning up. The indivtduals uho Worked in there: worked on transformers that you see, like on telephone polesy that are full of okl. The oi1 was contaminated With polychlorknated biphenyls. Many of the people who worked in the plant have gotten together. They feel theydve had an inordinate amount of cancer problems, and they wanted the Department of Public Hea1th to test. The money for the tests would eome from the Hazardous Waste Fund that deals with problems like thks. And the Department of Publie Health l07 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 2G, 1991 1 initially opposed a bill that covered al1 Super Fund sites, so we j narrowed it down just to this one site: sort of as a trial project. It's still subject to appropriation from that Pund. And the Department of Public Hea1th: I believe, removed their opposition.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Karpiel.
We're not talking a big amount of money, are we, taking out of that Fund?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Welch.
No, it will be a one-time test -- blood test. I think there are fewer than five hundred peopke. I don't think itls eost more than twenty-five thousand dollars.

Senator, back on the subjeck of the llen. This lien would noe go on the properEy of third partles' properties that may have been contaminated, or -- I'm thinking of the case where there is a single source contamination into a stream and that stream may run through other people's property. This would not affect those other person's property, would it?

Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. A question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indkcates she wï11 yield, Senator Maitland.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator, Why are we -- you're a former teacher. Why are We doing this?
Senator Holmberg.
By allowing a number of teachers to be on the Pertification Board, we're doing ehings that ke have done for other professions: the Medical Society, the legal profession, and so forth, which basieally police their own members. And the Teacher Certification Board replicates this and has as many teachers as others now, to oversee the eertification of its own.
Senator Maitland.
I'm not sure that -- Senator, that a11 certifieation boards are like this. I guess -- I guess my eoncern is - and if I was a teacher, I think I would even be coneerned about this - there are a number of things that the Board does. There are teachers, as you know , on the Certification Board now. This simply moves ehe ll3 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 balanee of power to the profession, and Iîm not sure that that's -- that's good for -- for teachers in the State, for the good and quality teachers. And I believe that maybe - just maybe - there might not be that objective look at some of the problems that face the Certification Board from time to time. And this has been around a long time. We've talked about this for years. think it's a bad -- a bad notion to do, and we ought to reject it.
Further discussion? Senator Berman. senator Berman.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill. The sponsor has responded to some of the suggestions made in committee, and I certainly think that it's proper for teachers to be in control of their criteria in the process of certification. urge an Aye vote.
Further discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates she will yield: Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Senator Holmberg, IId like to buy the idea that this is similar to other boards in which professlonals regula*e their own industry. But I do believe the selection proeess for whoever serves on this Board is not that simply teachers apply and then they dre selected. I believe it's organizations who represent teachers that make those -- submik those names. Is that correet?
Senator Holmberg.
To the best of our knowledge, it's the State Board of 114 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th ' GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Edueation that does the appointlng.
Senator DeAngelis. SENKTOR DeANGELIG: That is correct, except they do from a list thatfs submitted to them. And I believe that that list that's submitted to them is, in factz from teachers' organizations. So the process is not quite as democratic as you described or quite as similar as the one regarding those other professionals who can be anybody Who is licensed under that profession. Here: you have to come throu:h an organization. And frankly, there are, across the State, some schools in which those teachers don't belong to those organizations. So essentially , you 're disenfranchising a group of the very members that they're representing. really believe that. Has this bill been amended? I would like to have you, it passes, to give consideration to removing any obstacle to somebody serving on this Board.
Further diseussion? Any further discussion? Senator Holmberg, to close.
Thank you, Mr. President. In answering remarks of Senator DeAngelis, it's much like any other election that we go through. Any teacher who has a petition and receives the signatures of two hundred and fifty other teaehers may apply to the Boar'd to be appointed. It does not necessarlly have to come from someone at the top of an organàzation. It then gives the teachers an even number of representatives on the Board. The other representatives include the State Superintendent of Education, five university or college faculty members, three administrators, and one Regional Superintendent of Schools I think an all-inclusive, well-balanced Certification Board.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Demuzio.
Well, thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 266 would require the State Board.of Educatlon to conduct an annual survey of each school district's salaries and benefits of certified and educational support personnel. The information is already collected for teachers via a two-page survey, and the state Board would simply have to expand their survey to inelude additional information which is covered in the bill. There are about ten or fifteen items of data that's to be collected, and I would ask for your support.
PRESTDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Discussion? Senator Rarpiel.
Thank you, Madam President. I stand in opposition to this bill. Currently, the State Board of Education publishes an annual teacher study in cooperation with the IEA and the Illinois Association of School Boards. This goes much further than simply salary schedules or even a 1ot of the benefits that are beinq provided by the different districts. There are twenty-one different criteria on this, as he saidg two-paqe form , thaE Ehey Will have to be fillin: outz and it includes things like sick leave bank provisions and percentage of salary the board pays to employee retirement systems: and whether the district provides long -- pay beyond the salary schedule. I mean, it just goes on and on with a whole bunch of things that's a lot of paperwork. And I think thls is just a bad bill, a 1at of busywork, and -- 122 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Leqislative Day June 20, 1991 really anyone wants to find that ouk from a particular school district, I'm sure they can go there and get that information if they want.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator D'Arco.
Thank you, Madam gresldent. This bill would require the Department of Public Aid to provide prenatal care for pregnant women, and children up to one year of age, up to a hundred and sixty percent of the official poverty income level and up to a hundred and thirty-three percent for children one to age six. Today, in America, as you know, America has ehe highest infant mortality rate of all Sndustrial nations. Illinois has one of the 123 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Leqislative Day June 20, 1991 highest infant mortality rates in the country. This bill is simply saying what the federal laW has told the states is absolutely permissible - to apply their standard aceording to What the federal standard is. There is no doubt in my mind that We have to start at the prenatal level in order Lo save our children. And a1l this bill is saying and the cost of this bilt is actually very minimal - it's probably around a million dollars a year. And We have to say to our children that We do care about you, and we are willinq, and it is our public policy to take care of our children in order that they can become productive eitizens in our society.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR POLLINS) Further dkscussion? Senator Topinka.
Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. You know, would commend Senator D'Arco for trying to address, you know, a real-life problem - no question. I also would commend him for trying to work this out, as he said he would, with the Department of Publie Aid. However, we started life here with a l4-l-million-dollar expense in the out-years. In terms of working this out, he's :ot it down to about ten million dollars. would merely like to point out in my usual speech that we are now seven hundred million dollars in the hole and countlng. Those are last year's bills. That does not cover the care and feeding of this year's programs or paying for any ne* programs which may have slipped out of here. We just canlt afford it, again, unless you are willing to cut in some other direetion or ralse taxes. That is the -- those are -- the only two options. So, althougb this is well-intentioned, at this moment in time we canno: afford the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator D'Arco, to close. 124 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
Thank you. Madam President, the Federal Government today allows for the states to implement programs for pregnant women and children up to -- up to a hundred and eighty percent of the poverty level. What we did with the amendment yesterday was say We are only going to apply the standard up to a hundred and sixty percent, and then only for pregnant women, and infants up to one year. The purpose of this is to reduce as much as possible the cost to the Department. NoW the figure that Senator Topinka gave us is absolutely ineorrect. With the amendment: the cost to the Department is much, much, mueh less than that figure is, and we are required by the government to take care of the pregnant women and cbildren under the Prenatal Program. This is an absolutely vital and essential program for pregnant Women who need prenatal care in our State. And we should wholeheartedly support this program, and I ask for your favorable vote.

ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. HARRY) House Bill 477. lsecretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Savickas.
Yes, Madam Chairman and Members of the Senate: this bill was introduced to continue the eiqhteen-months ' moratorium on constructing hazardous waste incinerators in heavily urban areas. It's continued because of -- the proponents of the constituents in our communities fear that once this moratorium is ended, that hazardous waste incinerators will be built in our community. It was amended three times -- once to answer a question and concern of the Illinois Hospital Association, and took care of their concerns. It was amended also to take care of the concerns of those business groups and the university groups that are conducting research in the development and demonstration of technologies for the incineration of hazardous Waste to try to come up With a reasonable approach to this problem . So we continue working With them . And also, the third amendment addresses a problem where they skirt the local siting by usin: incinerators to burn waste oil. I would ask your support cf this 131 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 proposal.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Discussion? Senator Macdonald.
Thank you, Madam President. rise in strong opposition to this bill. A year ago we did put a moratorium on incinerators. In the meantime, With much research and understanding exaetly where we are with incinerators, we certainly have state-of-the-art incinerators, and to put an additional five-year moratorium on incinerators and incineration at this point is absolutely unnecessary, and will delay our ability to go forward With a combination of waste management in this State. And I Would say to you that I hope we carefully pay attention to what this bill is daing . It is unnecessary, With the technoloqy at the peak that it is, for us to now continue to delay for five more years the option of incineration. I urge you to vote No on this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Donahue.
Thank you, Mr. President -- Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. rise also in opposktion to this legislationy more -- as well as what Senator Macdonald was talking about, but more in relationship to Amendment No. 3. This prohibits the burning of waste oil. And many of the facilities that have incineration capabilities burn their waste oil, and it has a value Eo them, and it's an environmentally safe way of doinq it. The Federal Government does not consider this type of waste as a hazardous waste; and for thks reason, I hope we can defeat this legislation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Maitland.
132 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Well, thank you very much, Madam President and Members of the I Senate. I -- 1, too, rise in strong opposition to House Bill 477. I sometimes wonder where we're going with this whole issue. Senator Macdonald is absolutely correct - the technology on this issue that's right here before us nowz to allow us to completely and safely incinerate hazardous waste, ought not be rejected. And thatls what we 're doing here. And five years? My gracious. Those of you who are concerned about solid waste have to leave this option open. And if anything -- I mean, one year would be bad enough. Two years would be bad enough. But five years - my qracious, what are you trying to tell us? This bill is absolutely wrong and ought to be rejected.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Welch.
Thank you, Madam President. We've had this bill befcre us in a shorter period of time - this is a five-year moratorium. Last year, the reason this issue came about was because of an incinerator going into Bedford Park for a particular chemical company, SUN Chemical. One of the arguments was that the incinerator would keep hazardous waste out of Illinois landfills. By State law, you cannot put liquid hazardous waste in State landfills now. So it didn't exactly prevent it. You couldn't put it in the landfill anyway. But what was interesting about that incinerator was that more than fifty percent of what they were going to burn was going *o come from outside of *he State of Illinois. And I don't think that We should be an importing state of hazardous waste for incineration or any other reason. In another instancez'there was an attempt to fire up a boiler in Oglesby, Illinois, to make cement. There was no requirement that any particular tonnaqe of cement be produced: but they Were going to use waste fuel oil. So the company entered into a contract 133 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 with an Ohio firm to brinq in hazardous waste as fuel oil into Illinois so we could burn it in Illinois in an incinerator that was not permitted. You don't have to qet a permlt if you use hazardous waste as fuel, and that's what they were trying to do, which is the reason 1 put the amendment on Senator Savickas' bill. There is no reason in the world why Illinois should become an importer of hazardous waste. Nobody Wants this stuff. In fact, was going through my desk today and found a note from the University of Illinois that said in the country of Nigeria, they have a very interesting way to keep out hazardous waste. Nigeria declared that anyone importing hazardous waste Would be executed by a firing squad. Now , that's not exactly my amendment -- but may not be a bad idea. But no one wants this stuff. No -- there is no reason why Illinois should be an importing state, because what happens is you have transportation problems. You transport hazardous Waste; the trucks turn over; you have a cleanup problem. That's something We donlt need. So I would urge support of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENRTOR COLLINS) Senator Macdonald, for a second time.
I apologize for rising a second time: but I would advise that if it is that we do not Want waste and we Want to control it in another way, then perhaps additional legislation would be the way to approach what Wedre talklng about. The simple matter of fact is that we need incineratëon in Illinoks as a combination with landfilling and other recycling and other methods for reduction of solid waste. And if we don't want to take imports and a11 of the restrictions that Senator Weleh ls Ealking about, I would suggest that we do this in another piece of leqislation. is absolutely unfakr and unworkable for us to put a five-year moratorium on incinerators. And one more time, I would ask for your rejection l34 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 . I I of this bill. '
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Savickas, to elose.
Well, let me first: before we go into closing, point out that this is not regular garbage or munkckpal qarbage or munickpal waste. This is hazardous Waste. Yes, Senator Macdonald, we do at this point, if We were just concerned with the State of lllinois and not importin: it, we do have the capacity, with our five hazardous waste incinerators, to take care of a1l of Illinois ' waste. In the last year, there has been no concern - no demonskrated concern - that this is a problem, and no request for new or enlarged incinerators. It's been a fact - and this is a fact - that our present capacity is good for the next twenty years in handlinq our Illinois hazardous waste. There's no demonstrated need to continue to build new or larger incinerators for importing the waste. There's no incentive for our business community to develop safer and more economical ways to dispose of our hazardous waste if there is a -- if there's not a prohibition on just building newer and bigger incinerators. And these are being built, under our present conditions, in local urban areas - local urban communities. And yes, Senator Welch stated it started in Bedford Park - because Bedford Park had the zoning for thks - right next to a high school -- right next to a high school that these people wanted to put up these kncknerators. And there is no law on our presen: books that would prohibit the same thing happening ln any other local community in this State. So yesz I say let's keep this moratorium on the books. Let's continue it. Let's work with our business community and our universities on research and development in finding safer and better ways. And until there is a concern and a demonstrated need by our business community that our capacity is inadequate, then we should address l35 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legkslatkve Day June 20# 1991 that problem . And I would be Willing to go along and help address that problem . But at this pointz Mr. -- Madam Chairman and Members of the Senate, I Would ask for your support passing this legislation that is needed, not only in my community and Senator Raica's community, but in the whole State of Illinois.

Madam President, questkon of the Chair. Senator Cullerton l37 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 returned to the Floor before you announced a final roll call. Can his name be added?

And you questioned the ruling . Welve read the ruling. Senator Demuzio.
Wellr think -- I think where we are here is that you announced that the roll had been verified, but you didn't announce the count. And therefore, you didn't pronounce the bill having been defeated. Senator Savickas did not even, at that point, request Postponed Consideration. So it seems to me that the roll call was still active, and therefore, that the Gentleman has returned to the Floor. He is entitled to be restored to the count.

Senator: my notes indicate that the Environmental Protection Agency is opposed to this.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip.
That is correct.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
I -- could you tell us Why theydre opposed?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip.
Yeah, I think they want to Wait and 1et the feds do
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purther discussion? Senator Welch.
Thank you. Well, tbis bill allows financial institutions to now foreclose on property that have environmental problems and environmental liens, without being responsible for paying off that lien. Is that correct? Is that the gist of what the bill is going to do?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senakor Philip.
Only if -- lf the lender has actual possession and control of that facility. Let me try to explain to you what thls really does. Just say hypothetically somebody owns and operates a gas station. He sells to somebody. That person goes to a bank and borrows money on that. Later on they go bankrupt, and a11 of a l48 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 sudden EPA comes in and Wants to fine the bank the money. Now: the bank had nothing to do with it. They lend the guy *he money to buy the place. They didnft know the thing had a leak or had a problem. In my judgmentz I don't knoW why they -- Why they should be liable. The person that should be liable is the person that put it in the ground in the first place and 1et it incur a leak or some damage.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
If it's an abandoned gasoline station and the bank forecloses on it and it has to be cleaned up, doesn't the public pay for the cleanup and then the bank -- does the bank end up with property free and clear of the lien, or does the lien stay on the property for as lon: as the State is unpaid for its cleanup?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip .
The guilty party, I think, would be, in the end, responsible, not the lender.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
Well, the -- the idea behind the bill is to allow for property to be returned to the bank's possession and then put back into commerce without necessarily taking care of *he cleanup of the property on the behalf of the bank. I'm not -- I'm not sure if this is a good idea or a bad idea, frankly. But it does my understanding is, though, for clarification, a lien will remain on the property. If the State or Federal Government cleans it up, that lien has to be paid off before the bank can resell the property to another person. Is that the gist of the bill? 149 STATE OF ILLIXQIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Da# June 20, 1991
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip.
Xes, believe that is correct; that the EPA, I think, would say, 'fHey'' -- red tag it and say, ''Hey, you can't sell this or resell this until it's cleaned up.'' I think that's absolutely correct.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Purther discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, Amendment that was put in committee should satisfy the EPA, because it clarifies that in order for a financial institution to be held liable, must have possession, exercise direct l'control in the operation of the vessel or facility that causes a release or substantial threat of a release of a hazardous substance or pesticide resulting in removal or remedial action.'' had some qualms abouk the bill; but once this amendment went cn - in fact, put on in committee think the bill is okay, and it Will avail monies by banking institutions for loans to people that need it with small businesses. And I speak for the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Further discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of the bill and for another reason that hasn't been mentioned. In my area g you have a situation where there 's been a single source polluter who's polluted a stream , and that stream winds through a lot of property owners' property and into a lake that has a lot of property owners around Right now, they dre not able to sell their propertiesy because the banks are afraid that if they finance the purchase of those properties, the banks are going to be stuck. Even though l50 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 i those homeowners had nothin: to do with polluting the stream, they cannot get a letter from EPA absolving them of liability. The EPA refuses to do it, even though they had nothing to do with it. As a result: the banks won't write mortgages, and none of these folks I can sell their property. We need this legislation to prevent situations like that from happening.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Thank youy- Mr. President. Well, I recognize that the banks have a problem, and I'm Willing to try to do something to solve it. What I am concerned about: though, is Whether welre settinq up one set of criteria for banks and another set for everybody else in the world. If I buy one of those properties and pay for it, am I relieved from any responsibllity?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip.
Senator Schuneman, I think if you know the leak is there, and the EPA knows the leak is there, and you buy it and pay cash for it: I think youdre going to end up paying to have it cleaned up.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
Well, am I -- I'm assuming that this applies not only to cases where there's a known leak, but also cases where the leak may not have yet been discovered. Am I Wrong about that?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip.
Yeah, I don 't think I know the answer to that. We dre dealing with banks -- or I shouldn't say banks - I should say financial l51 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20y 1991 institutions. Al1 this is trying to do is protect innocent lenders.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman.
And I'm concerned about that, but I6m also concerned about people Who buy property, who pay for that property, and then discover that there is something on the property that they didn't know was there when they bought it, whether they 're a bank or not . And I guess What I'm looking for is -- is reassurance by you or someone Who 's worked With this bill that Wedre not setting up one set of standards for banks and another set for everybody else.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Philip, do you wish to respond to that? Senator Philip.
Let me just say this - you know, most people can't pay cash for it. If you have to go to the bank and the bank knows about it, you'll never be able to buy -- borrow the money to buy that property, because the bank has liability for -- or savings and loan. And if that is a problem, I would suggest that you ought to introduce a bill to take care of that innocent bystander Who buys a piece of property that has a leaky tank. Myself, had done that, probably fkle suit and take them to court and make them pay for the cleanup.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis, for a second tine.
Apologize for a second time, but we already have a 1aw on the books called the Illinois Property Transfer Act, Whieh makes incumbent upon a seller of a piece of property commercial property - to provide a statement, a verified statement, that l STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 there is no hazardous stuff on the land.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Philip may close.
Thank you, Kr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Al1 this is trying to do is protect innocent lenders whoz in my judgment, have no liability, and there's no reason that they should be stuck With this when it's not their fault. ask for a favorable -- votes.

Senator Jones. l60 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
Yeah, thank youy Mr. President and Members of the Senate. House Bil1 1035 provides title protection for industrial hygienists. This is a very important piece of environmental legislation. The adminiskrative and enforcement costs Will be derived from the fees set by the Department of Public Health, deposited in a special fund for sueh purposes. Industrial hygienists are an increasingly important professlon, particularly With respect to asbestosz radon, chemical emission, hazardous waste and related environmental safety problems. In the absenge of title protection, unqualified individuals Who are callin: themselves industrial hygienists are making vital environmental decisions whieh adversely affeet the public industry as well as labor. The Department of Public Hea1th presently licenses eight thousand asbestos workers and the -- three to five hundred industrial hygienists Will cause no additional financial burden. This bill Was amended to reflect a11 the chanqes recommended by the Department of Public Health, and I respectfully request an Aye vote on this bill.
Al1 right. The Gentleman has moved -- moved passage of House Bill 1035. Discussion? Senator Sehaffer.
Mr. Presidenty I'd like to make a few comments, but before that Ild also like to have a rulin: from the Chair whether khis bill preempts home rule. Our staff over here feels that it might, and we would like an opinion. am under the I am told by the Department of Public Hea1th that khe licensure costs, because of the small number of people involved and the requirements of the bill, would create a situation Where the Department Would have to charge three hundred and seventy-five dollars per license to meet the administrative costs. Now, -- I confess that I do not know l61 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 What an industrial hygienist might do. think of someone working on your teeth with an air hammer, but -- I'm sure it's a noble -- a noble profession - ranks right in there with some of the othee things we've lieensed the last few weeks. I think the Department of Public Hea1th is in a position to make the following statement, which is there is no evidence that this profession has exhibited any problem that would cause us to want to license it. There is literally no reason to do this. They havendt even held a reception and bought eqgrollsz you know. There is no justifieation for this other than to create more jobs for bureauerats and more paper-shuffling. In short, this is insanity.
Senator Schaffer, the Chair is prepared to rule that you are correct; that it does, by its terms in Section 20 -- 120, deny and limit home rule powers and functtons under Subsection H of Section 6 of Article VIIz and We have previously ruled thak that preempEion requires only thirty votes, a constitutional majority. Senator Schaffer.
The implications of that ruling would mean that thirty-six of us would have to be out of our minds for this bill to pass. Thank you.
Senator Jones, eo close.
Well, you know, Senator schaffer can make all those snide remarks about the environment as he want toy but all you got to do is go look in the telephone direetory and you will see industrial hygienists in there. And as We deal with the environment and more and morê critical issues as it relate to radon and chemieal and hazardous waste, you cannot have persons out there eallin: ehemselves such. So the Society of Industrial Hyqienists want to l62 I STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GEHERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I ; 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 1 totally regulate so that you Will have qualified people doing such, and I ask for a favorable vote.

So this bill is simply a shelly the purpose of Which is to go to a eonference eommittee to see if we can come up with any common denominator everybody would agree to with the on the Governor's Commission to Revise the Mental Hea1th Code.

The Department of Revenue has agreed that the invested capital tax does not, nor has ever been intended toz apply to these buildings that resell utility services to tenantsg because they are not considered public utilities.

Amendment No. 2 offered by Senator Cullerton.
Senator Cullerton, on Amendment No. 2.
Yes, thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Mr. President, recentlyw as you know, the Chicago Bulls were involved in a playoff out in California, and it turned out that we diseovered through an article in the Chicago Tribune, that the -- when Michael Jordan and the rest of the Bulls played out in California, they were taxed; their income Was taxed by California. And yet, when Magic Johnson and the rest of the Lakers played here Chicaso. we did not bave a slmllar Eax. And so, Ehe amendment simply does to the Lakers what they would have done Eo us, and that is to tax their earnings when they come to Illinois. If therels a state that doeà not have thls tax on usz then it would not apply to their professional athletes who come into the State of Illinois. I think this is just strictly a matter of fairness. It is definitely lost revenue to the State of Illinois. By l68 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 correeting this oversight, we wll1 bring in some revenuee and it Will be equitable. So I move for its adoption.
Senator Cullerton has moved the adoption of Amendment No . 2 to House Bill 298. Discussion? Senator Etheredge.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield?
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Etheredge.
Senator, it sounds like a very interesting idea. Do you have any notion as to how much revenue might be generated by this move?
Senator Cullerton.
Well, it would be every professional sports team that comes into Illinois. So you have two baseball teams; you have the hockey keam, the Bulls team. And khe salaries, as you know, of the athletes .are escalatinq. And so I don't know from.the Department of Revenue exactly What the amount would be, bub it clearly would be substantial and growing.
Senator Etheredge.
Tt Would be helpful to us - We don't have a copy of this amendment for us - could you just read tha: portion of the amendment Which would limit the application to those states that t:x our athletes? PRESIDENT ROCE) Senator Cullerton. SENATOR CULLERTON) Yes. We're talking about the Revenue Act, Chapter 120: Sectlon l69 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th CENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 3-302, and this is current law. And it says, ''Compensation paid to nonresidents. In general, a1l items of compensation paid in this State (as determined under Seetion 304(a)(2)(B)) to an individual who is a nonresident at the time of such payment and all items of deduction directly allocable thereto, shall be allocated to this State.'' In other words: people -- individuals who are nonresidents, who are working in this State, have to pay a tax. So then, the amendment amends that Section that they refer to by saying, ''For purposes of this paragraph (B), in the case of persons who perform personal services under personal service contracts for sports performances, services by that person at a sporting event taking place in Illinois shall be deemed to be a performance entirely within the State.'d And then we refer to the current law which talks about reciprocal exemptions, and that says - this is current 1aW now 'fThe Director may enter into an agreement with the taxlng authoritles of any state which imposes a tax on or measured by income to provide that compensation paid in such state to residents of this State shall be exempt from such tax.'' That's the current law.
Senator Etheredge. Further discussion? Senator Hall.
Thank you, Mr. President. Wlll the sponsor yield?
Sponsor indicates he will yleld, Senator Hall.
I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Are you saying any athlete that comes into Illinois and does not live here: if he performs in this area, then he's :ot to be taxed? Is that what youdre saying? We do that, baseball players or anything, right?
Senator Cullerton. 170 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20e 1991
Yes, Senator Hallz 1et me explain how this came to my attention. When the Chicago Bulls go to California, they have a similar type of law there. Michael Jordan's -- and a11 the other Bulls who are nonresidents who are performing in Callfornia, their salary is taxed. And Mlchael Jordan has to pay it out thereg and when he comes back to Illinois on his Illinois income tax, he gets a credit. But what wefre saying with this amendment is When those athletes who come from states Who have this type of a 'tax, N hen they come to Illinois, we shall impose upon them the same tax: so that if athletes from California, where they have this tax on us, when they come to Illinois, we're goinq to tax them the same way.
Senator Hall.
Well, you take a baseball team that -- they have players that live in practically every state in the Union. In other words, that the whole team or just the people Who don't live -- the people on that team Who live in Illinois -- when they in Illinois, they don't have to pay a tax. Is that right?
Senator Cullerton.
Thatds What I Want to get straight now.
Right. This is just a tax on nonresidents - people who are travelin: into our State to play. And baseball players from California, Where they have a tax on our players when we qo out there and play, would have to pay the tax When they come here to Illinois. That's what it says. If they come from a state where there is no tax, then because of the reciprocity agreements, they - - we wouldn't impose a tax on them . Itfs only on the states that 171 STATE OP ILLTNOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 have it. I understand that Ohio has this tax, Wisconsin has this tax, California has this tax. There may be others. So it's just a matter of equity. They tax us when we go to their states; we want to do the same thing to their players when they come here.
Further discussion? Senator Watson.
Yesg thank you. Question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates he'll yield, Senator Watson.
Thank you. This is an unusual concept. Now this is athletes only? Welre not talking about rock stars and performers and people such as that.
Senator Cullerton.
Actually, rock stars are already covered. When they come into Illinois, it's deemed to be performing a service entirely within the State under a single contract. They: right now, have to pay tax. A11 wedre saying With this amendment is to clarify that When athletes from outside our State come in and perform in Illinois, that it's deemed to be performin: entirely within the State and it just clarifies that they are subject to the tax. Right nowz the Department of Revenue does not believe that they are performing entirely within *he State. Their attitude ls theydre performing throughout the whole country, and that the particular game they play here is not taxable.
Senator Watson.
Well, thank you. Now, a professional athlete has a contraet 172 I i STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 with the team -- let's -- for this particular case, the Chicago Bulls. He has a contract with that team. Now how -- how do we perceive or how is it perceived that he has income coming from a game in which he played in California?
Senator Cullerton.
What they did out in California was that they take Michael Jordan's salaryy they divide it by the number of games that he played in California: and they literally impose the tax on him based on that amount. And then -- then Jordanz when he comes back to Illinois, can get a deduction - I think a credit - on his Illinois income tax for the taxes that he paid ln another state. But the end run is that Illinois loses the income.
Senator Watson.
So then, welre talking about playoff money. Wefre not actually talking.. about the contract by which they have signed to play for the entire year. Wefre talking about playoff money and playoff money only. Okay. Thank you.
Senator Raica.
Senator Cullerton, a question, Mr. President.
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Raica.
Johnz a1l wedre saying - this is a reciprocal tax. If they charge to us, we're qoing to charge them. There's nothing new or magic about this. This is -- it's been in the newspapers, and 1 just think this is a great idea. If nobody ever voted for a tax, ; l73 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 this is one tax we al1 should vote for. And I think it's a great idea.
Further discussion? Senator Rigney.
Question of the speaker. just wonder, would this be looked upon as being a tax measured by income?
Senator Cullerton.
Well, I refer you to the -- the current Statute which is ae Chapter 120, Section 3-302, and says, HCompensation paid to nonresidents.'' And this is what we use right now to tax rock stars who come into Illinois and perform. They are now being taxed. And al1 this amendment does is to clarify that for the purposes of this Section, khen professional athletes come in and perform personal service under personal service contracts for sports performances, that they shall be deemed to be performed eneirely within the State. And what that means is, if it's performed entirely within the State, then it comes under this tax. So it's just extending and making clear that the tax which is now imposed on people who perform personal service contracts should also apply to those who perform sports performances.
Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Marovitz.
Just a question of clarifieation. If the Cubs or the White Sox go ouE to California for a game, does California tax the Cubs and every White Sox player for every game that they play out there?
Senator Cullerton. 174 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
That is my understanding. They take a proportion of their salary based on the number of days that they play out in California. And it came to light when the Bulls played out there, and a11 we 're saying here with this amendment is that when California players come here, that the same thing would be true for them.
Senator Marovitz. Senator Jacobs. Senator Brookins.
Thank you. One question to the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates --
Would this only happen in states that tax us, or would happen in all states for incoming players?
Senator Cullerton.
Only in the states that have a similar tax. So if Missouri doesn 't have a tax, When the St. Louis Cardinals come to Chlcago, they wouldn't be taxed. It's only those states that have that tax: and that's covered in this reciprocal exemption language which ls in the 1aw right now.
senator Brookins.
Detroit came in. What position Would they have been in? We know what happened with California. But when we played Detroit in the playoffs, what would have happened then? PRESIDENT ROC<: Senatcr Cullerton. 175 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legkslative Day June 20, 1991
thlnk we would have won. don't know what the law in Michigan is. I know they have it in Ohio and Wisconsin and California.
Purtber discussion? Senator Luft.
Thank youy Mr. President. Maybe for some, hope this will clarify just a little bit of what Senator Cullerton has aetually been sayinq. First of all, this only goes into effect if another state is taxing our athletes the same as we Would be taxing them. Secondly, what hels been trying to tell you is that there is a reaiprocity agreement elause in our Tax Code Which would simply allow the State of Illinois, and in thks caBe the State of California, to get together and say, ''We're not qoing to impose this tax on either athlete in either statezn which would then allow us to tax Michael Jordan at his full salary: rather than just parts of it.
Further disgussion? Senator Rigney.
just wanted to continue my questioning here a little bit. assume that rock stars and now baseball players and others would be taxed at our rate of three percent. Is that correct?
Senator Cullertcn.
-- yes, wefre talking about the State income tax. Maybe -- right. And remember, it might go down to two and half percent in a few days, but whatever the existing tax rate is in the Statez yes.
176 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator Rigney.
What's the California rate?
Senator Cullerton.
It's hiqher than three percent, Ifm told. Senator D'Arco thinks it's nine percent.
Senator Rigney.
I don 't think they get credit for having paid that much money when they return to pay their Illinois income tax. assume in every way it's a nonqraduated tax. Is that true also of California?

A question of the sponsor.
Sponsor indicates she will yield, Senator Welch.
One of the reasons for legislation concerning ethics in the Commerce Commission was the appointment of Lynn Shoshido Topel who worked for Commonwealth Edison and now is on the Commerce Commission. Does this bill take her out of -- this amendment take her out of coverage under the bill?
Senator Topinka.
No, does not take her out; however, once she became reappointed, it would comply. The bill Would now be prospective.

PRESIDENT ROCK: senator Berman . SENATOR BERMAN: Thank you, Mr. President. This bill -- this amendment builds into House Bill 763 the original provisions af House Bill 760, and that is to abolish the Office of Cook County Regional Superintendent as of August 7, 1995. PRESIDENT ROCK: 179 ! ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator Berman has moved the adoption of Amendment No . 2 to House Bill 763. Discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Senator Berman, do you currently have a bill that does that? Do you have a -- do you currently have a bill that does that?
Senator Berman.
The bill -- House Bill 760 that originally did it does not do it as of Auqust, 1995, any more.
Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANCELIS: So this amendment takes a bill that abolishes an office immediately and extends it for four years?
Senator Berman.
I'm -- maybe I'm confused. This bill -- this .amendment would take the Office of Regional Superintendent of Schools in Cook County and abolish it as of August, 1995.
Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: So, 1995. as eontrasted to 760, which would do it immediately.
Senator Berman.
That's correct.
Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: l80 STATE OF ILLINOIS 8?th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Well, I have a question of the sponsor.
And the sponsor indicates he will yield. SENATOR DeANGELIS: If is our intention to abolish that office, it would seem to me that any action short of doing it ri:ht now is no action at all, because successive General Assemblies could come down here and then, once again, change what youdre attempting to do. If youfre going to wait till .95, that means in '94 somebody eould come in and say, Hoh no, we're not going to do it.'' So the only way to ensure that that office is to be abolished is to do right now. Is that correct?
Senator Berman.
No: I think that doing it right noW -- doing it right now violates some very important principles, and be glad to go into that at my closing.
Purther discusskon? Senator DeAngelks. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, let's forget about the prineiple implication. The point is this - and I would like to have an answer to this - if you wait till then in order to do what you said. could mean that somekhere down the line that action, which is to take place in *95, could be rescindede and that office could be continued. Is that correct?
Senator Berman.
Hypothetieallye yes.
18l STATE OF ILLTNOIS 87th GENCRAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, no* hypothetically. In realityr it could.
Al1 right. Further discussion? Senator Berman, to elose.
Thank you, Mr. President. Ladies and Gentlemen, this amendment addresses the question of the Cook County Regional Superintendent of Education in several Ways. Number one, it carries out the agreement that has been reached affecting a number of areas, between Dick Phelan: the President of the Cook County Board, and Dick Martwickr the current Superintendent; number one, We are honoring that agreement. Number twoy have with me a letter that addresses the amendment and the subject matter that Senator DeAngelis talked about, about immediate termination of that offlce. And this letter that I have in my hand, dated today from the Illinois State Board of Edueation, the bottom line is that the -- the State Board of Education, if they were required to comply with Senator DeAngelis' approach, would have a cost of two million dollars during FY 192. Every one of us knows that there are expenses, there are programs that we are being asked to cut, and I am suggesting that the wrong way to go is to undertake a PY '92 cost of two million dollars that nobody - outside of Senator DeAngelis really wants to undertake. So I ask for your affirmative vote on Amendment No. to House Bill 763.
Senator Berman has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 7-6-3. Those in favor of the amendment will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. And the voting is open. Have all voted who wish?

3rd Reading. Senator Dehngelis, for What purpose do you arise, sir? SENATOR DeKNGELIS: I was tryin: to rise -- and I realized he was closing, but he mentioned my name in the close. The fact of the matter is, is if that is correct, if that is correct, we ought not to be abolishing that office at all, because lf it costs two million dollars for the State Board to do it, and it costs the county a million-six, we shouldn't be abolishing at all. And I question those numbers on that basis.

Senator Collins.
Yes, thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This amendment does three thinqs. First, it limits the enrollment of this pilot program to fifty students. It takes CMS out of the bill, which -- they requested to be taken out of it. It changes -- responds to the request from one of the Members of the Committee from that side of the aisle that the program be taken from the State Community College in East St. Louis and put under the Illinois Communiky College Board- And I would move for its adopEion.

Wi11 the sponsor yietd? 184 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
Sponsor indicates she will yield, Senator Schuneman.
Senator, this is the bill that you and Representative Younge, Wyvetter Younge, presented in Committee, and it's my understanding that your amendment does, in fact, remove the State Community College of East St. Louis as the sponsoring and oversight group, and also that the Illinois Community College Board has been named as the group that would coordinate this -- this Work. We've been in touch with the Community College Board and tbey say they don't know anything about the fact that they're supposed to be designated here, and that they -- they don't know where the money is going to come from to pay to do this. It's my understandin: that -- that they were in support of the bill and now they are neutral on it, because they really don't know where they're going to get the money to do this. So I quess my question is, have you been in touch With the Illinois Community College Board about their undertaking these duties?
Senator Collins.
am informed by the -- the sponsor of this bill, which is Wyvetter Younge, that they did agree. I don't know. I'm relying here on what I've been told by the sponsor - that they had agreed .
senator Schuneman.
Well, simply Wanted to raise that issue, Senator, and don't know that Idm in a great opposition to your amendment at this time. But before we get to 3rd Reading, I think you're going to have to answer some of these questions that we've raised.
185 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day .lune 20, 1991 Senator Hall.
Senator Colllns, I had no idea that this was about to take place. I Would ask that you would hold this at this time until we can confer. Because she's coming -- now, that, you know, we got a lot of problems and now she wants to change this and take this out of from -- could we just hold that until We qet a chance to do some talking?
Senator Collins.
Senator, 1et me try and respond to you, because it wasn't -- she did not request this. This was requested in eommittee from the other side - that it be taken from -- the overseer from East St. Louis Community College. And it's my understanding, for record of appearance, Senator Schuneman, the -- the State College Board member came in and put in a slip in favor of the bill but did not testify, but it was for record of appearance. So they did endorse this project.
All right. Senator -- Senator Hall.
Well, do you have any problem just holdin: that for today and then We can see what's -- juse what's happening here. Wyvetter does some strange things around here, and I just want to know that - - I'm not holding you responsiblee but I mean Ehat she does that.
Senator Collins.
Senator, let me -- 1et me do what Senator Schuneman suggested, because this is -- let's move it. Put the amendment on, move it to 3rd Readingy then you talk With Wyvetter Younge, and then if 186 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991 there 's some problems at that point, then, you know, we ean talk about bringing it back for amendment - because of the time factor involved here.

Senaeor, there have been some concerns expressed to me that this may become a vehicle bill for some major child support changesz and I Wonder if you could commit to us that this isn't going to eonference committee for that purpose.
Senator Marovitz. 188 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legkslatkve Day June 20y 1991
There may be some child support concerns that will be addressed by this, but it's not my intention to use this as a major rewrite of the child support guidelines.
Senator Hawkinson.
Well, as you know, this is a highly controversial area. The bills were held in committee. It was agreed that there were going to be some hearings held on this subject. And I just I'd just: guesse like a commitment that We're not gotng to see before those hearings take place around the State - that we're not goin: to see within the next week or so# changes in those guidelines on this bill.
Senator Marovitz.
If there are child support concernsr and I know there are some that many people have asked to be addressed, they may be addressed on this or other bills whieh are also floating around here. But in terms of a major rewrlte of all the child support guidelines, is not my intent to use this bill for that.
Senator Hawkinson.
Well, guess I uould rise in opposition to thiG amendment. The bill itself is all right, but T donlt think We ought to be getting into the other area on it without firm commitments.

Senator Cullerton.
Thank you# Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Amendment No. had been defeated yesterday. There kas some people that indicated Willingness to perhaps support an amendment if there were some modifications. Amendment No. 2 results in those modifications. This bill deals with the issue of providing insurance for people who need the treatment and diagnosis of infertility. What wefve done with this amendment is to say that it does not apply to individual insurance policies. It Would only apply to group policies more than twenty-five employees. Hopefully, With this change, we can garner enough support. I think everybody remembers the issue, and I Would appreciate an Aye vote.
Gentleman has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 1405. Discussion? Senator Schuneman. I'm sorry. 1470. We had the wrong number on the board.
Thank you, Mr. President. think this makes about the third bite of the apple now. Thls is second -- second bite of the apple. This is the b1ll thae# on a bipartisan basis, we thought should be held ln committee ko be studied. I think there 's still l92 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20# 1991 a 1ot of unanswered questions, and believe that the proper course is to do uhat tbe committee decision resulted in. think that -- that many people who are supporting this idea - many Senators who are supporting it - may not realize the very small group of people that are even going to be affected by this bill. So I would urge opposition to the amendment, and that we stop this one more time.
Purther Giscussion on Amendment No. 27 Senator Madigan.
Thank you, Mr. President. I just Want to reiterate what Senator Schuneman has just stated; that it was the agreement of the conmittee to hold this bill in committee, and I think that that's what we should be doing with this measure.
Eurther discussion? Senator Rigney.
Mr. President, I supported the bill in the committee and supported the amendment here when was offered yesterday. But I don't think we can afford, as we head down to June 30th, to give everybody a chance to, you know , three times to -- to try to pass their bill. And so this time, I'm going to be voting on the other side.
Further discussion? Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This doesn't affect a small amount of people. This affects eighty-five thousand couples throughout the State of Illinois, and ehink eighty-five thousand people is definitely a number to be reckoned with.

Further discussfon? Senator Cullerton, to close.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. I just want to reiterate that I did change It's not the same amendment. took out a substantial concession -- made a substantial concession by taking out the -- the applicability to individual polieles.

Senator Philip.
Thank you, Mr. Presidente Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This would create the Dupage County Flood Control Act. It would limit people from building within a hundred and fifty yards of each side of two streams in DuFage - Salt Creek and Dupage. It would allow them to put berms in, allow them to put reservoir, public utilities, and if somebody had a home there, would allow them to add onto that home if it was there already. Be happy to ask any -- ansWer any questions.
Senator Philip 's moved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 2352. Discussion? Senator Hudson.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question or two of of the sponsor for my own edifiaation. Pate, first of all, 1et me say that appreciate what you have done and are trying to do to alleviate some of fewxconcerns khak Ilve had on this bill. So I do appreeiate it. Just a question. Now, as I understand it, your amendment becomes the bill, and under the provisions of the amendment, nobody within the flood plain - not the floodway, but within the flood plain - would be permitted to subdivide or builde you know: if they had a big tract of property. I think that's been one of my -- one of my eoncerns. They couldn't do that under -- under your bill.
senator Philip .
That is correct, unless tbey were buildin: a berm or they -- they Were having a reservoir or a -- right of way for public utilities: et cetera. That ls correct. 200 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 47th Legislative Day June 20, 1991
