SECRETARY HAWKER: Amendment No. l offered by Senater Barkhausen. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Barkhausen. SENATOR BAREHADSEN: Mr. President and Members, Amendment No. 1 not in any way meant to be an unfriendly amendment - ls an attempt to clarify what the requlrements would be for recording a lien in a situation where a real estate broker has an -- a written agreement with a prospective buyer. also clarifiesz I think and I am told, what is otherwise the -- intent with regard to valid prior recorded liens of mortqages, deeds, leases, easements, or other instruments of a similar nature. I have dlscussed this matter both with the 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLT REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 Realtors, who are encouraging the adoption of the bill, and the -- both the mortgage bankers and the title insurance industry, which is concerned about the the draft of the bill without this amendment as to Whether the matters attempted to be elarified in this amendment would -- would be as clear as they want them to be. And for that reason I offer tbe amendment. don't think the while the Realtors don't think the amendment is necessaryw they don't really seem to oppose on the merits. They would just rather not go through what they seem to regard as the ineonvenience cf -- of having to go back to the House for concurrence. be qlad to answer your questions.
Senator Barkhausen has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 136. Discussion? Senator Leverenz.
Thank you. Mr. President. Senator Barkhausen, Would have liked to have had ycu at least talk with me about the amendment. understand that that amendment that you have is taken care of in the bill. As liens are flled, lt establishes its own priority. understand that the Realtors are in opposition to khe amendment today. So for that reason, Would object to the amendment, and ask that the amendment be defeated.
Further discussion? Senator Fawell.
Thank you very mueh. I've just talked to the -- the people from the Chicago Title and Trust. And my feeling is if this amendment does not qo ony the chances of having this bill passed are -- are -- are going to be a little -- a lot more difficult. This amendment doesn't really do anything except clean up some language that Chicago Title and Trust feels they absolutely must have. Otherwise there's going to be a hidden lien. And they are 6 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 going to, rather vehemently, oppose this whole bill and this whole coneeptz unless we get this amendment on. Por that reason, T strongly urge that the Members do accepk this amendment, and let's get this show on the road, so that both the Realtors and Chicago Title and Trust are happy with this bill.
Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Barkhausen, you Wish to close?
Just in response to Senator Leverenz. Senator, I do apologize for not getting to you. This has a11 sort of come about at the last minute. There is an honest Jisagreement of opinion, it appears, between the Realtors on the one hand and the title insurance industry and the mortgage bankers on the otber, as to Whether this -- this amendment is necessary. 0n -- on the merits and on the substance there doesn't seem to be any reason not to adopt the amendment. And, in fact, for reasons stated by Senator Fawell, it appears that it will enhance chances of the bill's ultimate passage. And I therefore move its adoption.

Senator Geo-Karis offers Amendment No. PRESIDENT ROCK) Senator Geo-Karis, on Amendment No. SENATOR GEO-RARIS; Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, my amendment tries to clean up some of the very bad portions of this bill. It requires the following three elements to be found by a judge before convenins a statewide qrand jury: a) The investigation must involve more than one county; b) The investigation and indictment cannot be effectively earried out by a county grand jury; and The investigation must focus on particular offenses. Several state's attorneys have expressed coneern about the way the statewide grand jury can be manipulated by a politically-minded Attorney General, whether he's Democrat or Republican, to run up numbers of indictments of cases more appropriately handled by local grand juries. The bill, as sent from the House: has these same flaws and is without any speclfic critetia for convenkn: a statewide grand. jury. And it allows, two -- my bill would all for my amendment would allow for consolidation of indictments returned by a local grand jury and a statewide grand jury, if the presiding judge determines that this would be appropriate for trial. Three, requires the Attorney General to prosecute an indictment returned by the statewide grand jury, unless the state's attorney agrees to prosecute the indictment. The bill, as drafted, allows *he AkEorney General ko dunp indictments on state 's attorneys, who may not be in a position to effectively handle the trial of them. And four: my amendment amends the powers and duties of the Attorney General to speaifically give him authority with respect to statewide grand juries. The bill, as drafted, is defective, because it does not provide the Attorney General with such authority . I move the 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day .lune 21, 1991 passase of my amendment, because otherwise this bill, whether lt's the hand of an Attorney General who's a Democrat or Republican, can be loaded with political nuances which are not healthy for the State.
A11 riqht. The Lady has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bil1 316. Dlscussion? Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. Presldent and Members of the Senate. rise in strong opposition to this amendment. The bill, as it is presently constituted, now requires the Attorney General to petition the Supreme Court of the State for appointment of a circuit judge to preside over any statewide grand jury. The AG must show cause to the appointed judge why a statewide grand jury should even be impanelled. This means that the AG must first have probable cause to believe that certain individuals are involved in narcotics trafficking and a narcotics-trafficking conspiracy in that region of the State. The region must include more than one county. Any state's attorney in that reqion can appear at the show-cause hearing and convince the judge that a statewide grand jury investigation is not necessary - any state's attorney. The judge decides whether the grand jury should be convened. Senator Geo-Karis' amendment, the one wefre talking about right here, would require that the AG obtain the consent of all state's attorneys in the region before the judge should even impanel a statewide grand jury for whatever reasonv including a politieal reason includin: a political reason. One state's attorney in a multi-county region could veto a statewide grand jury. This amendment Would emasculate the statewide grand jury 1aw and prevent prosecution of serious drug-trafficking cases our State. Senator Geo-Karis would have you believe that this bill cuts the state 's attorneys out of the process. Let me tell you STATE OF TLLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21y 1991 how the stateds attorneys are involved in the process and not cut out of the process. This bill involves the state's attorneys throughout the whole process. The bill requires the Attorney General to notify the state's attorney that he's calling for a statewide grand jury investigation. It requires the Attorney General to obtain the consent of the appropriate state's attorney before granting immunity to any witness. It requires the Attorney General to get the state's attorney's permission to have the statewide grand jury impanelled in his county. It permits the State's Attorney to assist the Attorney General in the grand jury proeeeding and in the subsequent prosecution. There is no need for this amendment. It Would severely curtail the Attorney General's power under this bill and create an adversarial relationship between the AG and state's attorneys. The bill now provides for cooperation and coordlnation between the Attorney General and the state's attorney. Letfs keep it that Way and vote No on this amendment.
Further discussion? Senator Cullerton.
Would the sponsor yield for a question?
Sponsor indicates she w11l yield, Senator Cullerton.
Senator Geo-Raris, on Page believe it is, of your amendment, where you add to the duties of the Attorney General the requirement to -- to attend, present evidence to and prosecute indictments returned by each statewide grand jury is it your intent that this be done personally by the Attorney General. or jusk anyone in his office?
Senator Geo-Karis. STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th peqislative Day June 2l, 1991
The assistants of -- eould ask for him.
Further discussion? All right. Senator Geo-Karis: to close.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, let me point out a few things that my opponent on the other side has not pointed out to you. First of all. under eurrent law, the Attorney General cannot act in criminaliters without the consent of the state's attorney. The same should be true of the statewide grand jury. Only in this cases -- ln khis way will cases that truly should be before *he statewide grand jury be -- be quaranteed. If any state's attorney does not consent, the Attorney General ean still obtain a statewide grand jury if he can show good cause why the grand jury should be convened over the objeetions of the stakefs attorney. The seeond change is that a circuit judge from a circuit where the statewide grand jury is sought to be eonvened: is to be appointed to eonsider impanelling the grand jury. The bill, as drafted, would allow any eircuit judge to be appointed regardless of where the stte is that the grand jury will be. In other words, a person can be riding With someone who uses cocaine and this person not knok the party is using cocaine, ean be picked up in Lake County, Illinois. and if the Attorney General sees fit, he can go to the -- ask the chief judge for a judge in Carbondale, Illinois, and get him and have the situs -- of the grand jury meet in Carbondale when the people are from Lake County. Thls is Wrong. There is no notlce that the Attorney General has to give to a state's attorney before he goes ahead and goes to the ehief judqe and asks for a judge Eo give him a statewide grand jury. think that my amendment makes safe:uards in the bill, beeause I'm aqainst drug pushers as much as anyone, but I do want fair playr and don't want to see these state's attorneys emasculated by a 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 27th GENERAL ASSEXBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 political football. And I ask for favorable support of my amendment.
Question is the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 316. Those in favor of the amendment will vote Aye. Opposed: vote Nay. And the voting's open. Have a1l voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish?

Amendment No. 2 offered by Senator Hawkinson.
Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you: Mr. President. T belleve this is an agreed amendment. It regards the -- the granting of immunity. provides that before granting transactional immunity, the State's Attorney must consent to the granting of immunity. And prior to granting use immunity, the State's Attorney would be consulted With. I Would ask for its adoption.

Amendment No . 3 offered by Senator Marovitz.
Senator Marovitz.
Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRTPT 48th Legislative Day June 21# 1991 This amendment returns the bill to its original form but takes into account the provisions that Senaeor Hawkinson just talked about, Which removes the requirement that the witness before the grand jury must be given use immunity. Senator Hawkinson's amendment cleared that up, and he uas absolutely correct. That should be treated as a separate issue, and we -- We have dealt With that in Senator Daley's bill Senate Bill 822. This amendment also deletes the provision that the AG must prosecute other offenses that arise in the course of a felony narcoties offense. This provision's not necessary, because the multiple joinder requirement of the Code of Criminal Procedure provides that a prosecutor must join all collateral offenses arising out of the same conduct as the principal offense. This means that if a grand jury is going to indict an individual for drug traffickinq, and the evidence shows that the individual was involved in a conspiracy to commit murder, the prosecutor must move for a murder indictment as well as the narcotics indictment. This is a very important amendment and, I think, will go a long way toward dealing with drug trafflcklng in our State.
Senator Marovitz has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 9 -- 316. Discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Senator Rock and Members of the Senate, this amendment knocks out my amendment. This amendment deletes my changes. It restores the bill to nearly the same form it came over from the House. It does incorporate the lmmunity provisions from Senate Amendment 2. Then, it's a dilatory amendment since is deleting the changes that I have in my amendment. It leaves the b11l in a defective form. The language is too loosely drawn and has minimal protections for conflicting investigations with state's attorneys. allows the state -- the Attorney General to seek the convening 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l# 1991 of a stakewide grand jury by only showing a judge it is necessary. It deletes the requlrement of the violation to be investigated involve more than one eounty. There's no protections in this amendment for people who could be innocent. And therefore, I move that this amendment be defeated.
Purther discussion? Senator Brookins.
Qhank you. %ill the sponsor yield for a question?
Sponsor indieates he will yield, certainly. Senator Brookins.
Thank you. Your bill would allow a state's attorney or law enforcement offieer to go to Cairo, Illinois, get an eavesdropping permit and then eavesdrop on conversations, et cetera: in Chicago?
Senator Marovitz.
This bill does not allow a state's attorney to do that.
Senator Brookins.
Who does it allow to do ehat? PRESTDENT R0CK: Senator Marovktz.
Attorney General.
Senator Brookins.
Now, when he goes there, must he have permission of the State's Attorney in Cook County, or do he needs the permission of 16 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 the State 's Attorney in Cairo?
Senator Marovitz. SENATOR MAROVITZ) Senator Brookinsy there's no eavesdropping in this bill whatsoever. There is no eavesdropping in this bill. None.
Senator Brookins.
Describe what your bill does again.
Senator Marovitz.
I guess wedre talking about the bill, not -- not the amendment. But the bill would allow the Attorney General to impanel a grand jury in any county of the State to prosecute drug-trafficking offenses multi-county drug-trafficking offenses. does not involve eavesdropping in any way.
Senator Brookins.
Thank you.
Senator DfAreo.
Thank you. Mr. President, I don't know what either one of these amendments do to be honest with you. But I know this know Adeline Geo-Xaris personally, and if this amendment knocks oue Adeline 's amendment, it can't be a good amendment. That know.
Further discussion? Senator MacDonald. 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21z 1991
Would the sponsor yield for a question?
Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Macdonald. Senator Marovitz: question being posed. Senator Macdonald.
Senator Marovitz, when you say that there is no eavesdroppinqr didn 't ke pass a bill think it was Senator Barkhausen's bill that allows for drug cases -- eavesdropping electronic eavesdropping? And wouldn't the Attorney General, who is the chief attorney for the State, would he not have the right to do what Senator Brookins asked you if he would have the right to do?
Senator Marovitz.
That bill -- that bill died in the House.
Senator Macdonald.
Oh. Okay.
Purther discussion? Senator Barkhausen.
Mr. President, at risk of clouding the issue even further, in response to the last point, I think needs to be made clear that regardless of what some of us would like our laws to say , that the only personnel who have authority to apply for a -- an order authorizing eavesdropping are state's attorneys' personnel, either under the existing law or this bill that's before us or any of the amendments that's before us. This subject has nothin: to do with eavesdropping. One of my main misgivings regarding this amendment is that I'm -- I'm told that it does away With the provision that 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legkslative Day June 21, 1991 would allow for the statewide grand jury to have jurisdiction over other criminal offenses that might be uncovered in -- in the process of investigating a drug offense; so that in the situation Where that happened, then a separate grand jury woutd have ko be convened by the State's Attorney to prosecute the separate offense that might come to light in -- in the process of investigating the drug offense. And I don't think that's a step that Ne want to take here. So, would -- I would urge opposition to this particular amendment.
Al1 right. Question is the adoption of Amendment No. 3. Further discussion? Senator Marovitzr to close. SENATOR MAROVITZ) Well, the intention of this bill and the intention of this amendment is to allow for multi-county prosecutions ën drug trafficking offenses. I don't think that anybody in this Chamber would disagree that the number one scourge on our society is drugs. And that's what this bill and this amendment is intended to do. Now, if you want to get at multi-county: big dru: dealers, We want to assist law enforcement a:encies in doing that. That's what this amendment is a1l about - to give the Attorney General the power to do that. And anybody that can assist state's attorneys in doing that - and this will allow the AG to assist state's attorneys in doing that - is going to help get at Ehe drug problem . If you don't feel that the drug problem is the number one priority, then I guess maybe you should vote No on this. BuE 1 feel that it is# and that's Why I'm offerinq this amendment. PRESIDENT ROCK; Senator Geo-Karis, the Centleman was closing. For what purpose do you arise?

Senator Brookins offers Amendment No. 2.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the General Assembly. The amendment reduces the Lottery FY'92 request from the State Lottery Fund for payment of prizes and awards by thirteen million dollars and approprlates thirteen mlllion from the State Lottery Pund to -- for deposit in the Common School Pund in the Common School Fund. The intent of the amendmenk is to reduce the Lottery prizes requested by the amount equal to the Lottery projecticn that unclaimed prize money will total thirteen million in PY f92. Rather than impart an unclaimed prize money dlrectly into the Common School Fund, the Lottery currently uses unclaimed prize amount to ingrease existing prizes, creating special funds or undertaking special promotlons. The Loetery somehow canft get its story straight on how much unclaimed prize money it has used in any given fiscal year or how much of the 41 ? . ' STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th L egislative Day June 21, 1991 I I I I Common school Fund transfers was generated by unclaimed prizes. I I The number above were received from the Lottery just yesterday. l I I And that was in FY'90 -- .89, fourteen million dollars in I I unclaimed amount was spent. The goal transfer forty-five million I I dollars. The agtual transfer was only thirty-one. In FY'90, ten l I I million was in unclaimed. Seventeen million was transferred. But I I only a net of seven million dollars was actually transferred to I I the Common School Fund. In FY'91ê elghteen million is spent. I I Gross transfers is 20. 5 million, but actually only two point five I I million was transferred . Every year it has been reduced. But the I I I previous Lottery has stated that 10.1 million in unclaimed prize I I money was used in FY'91 to generate 16.3 milllon in gross Common l I school Fund transferred in Fy'90 The above eharts show a l . I I decrease of -- of a hundred thousand ln unclaimed prize money used I I in that year - an increase of seven hundred thousand in the I I transfer that money was supposed to have been generated. Lottery I 1 earlier estlmated that unclalmed prize money would total 12. 8 I I I million in FX '91. Now it says the aaount will be eiqhteen I I million. Which number is eorrect? Alsoe if the numbers in the I I above charts are correct, they show a dramatie decrease in the I Lottery effectiveness in using unclaimed prize money to generate i I qreater transfers. From the net proflt of thirty-one million on a ! I fourteen million investment in 189: the estimated net for FY'9l I I has drapped only -- dropped to only 2.5 million on an eighteen million dollar investment. Given that trend, it is nat unreasonable to assume that the thirteen million in unclaimed prize money projected for FY'92 would generate no net increase in transfer or that the gross transfer could even fall below the thirteen million. I ask for a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is tbere a discussion? Senator Etheredge. SENATOR ETHEREDGE: 42 I f STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 i Thank youz Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I am very much in sympathy with what the Senator is tryinq to do. 1, too, Would like to see more money placed into the Common Sahool Fund. However, I would suggest to you that the adoption of this amendment would have precisely the opposite effect. These monies are used to sweeten the pots and to encourage, generate interest and encourage more people to participate in the -- in the Lottery and also to promote some of our existlng games. If we were to take these monies away from the Lottery, what we do is to reduce the sales of Lottery tickets and therefore, ultimately, we reduce the amount of money that goes to the Common School Fund. I would remind everyone that this was a -- an amendment that was defeated in committee, and we certainly should not be about the business of adopting this amendment on the Floor. I would respectfully request the Senator to Withdraw the amendment; but, if he is unwilling to do so, then I would request everyone to vote No on the amendment, because we are penalizing the Common School Fund by its adoption.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Al1 right. Is there further discussion? If noty Senator Brookins may close.
I don't think there 's a Member in this Chamber that cannot -- do not return to tbeir district and say what happens to the Lottery money? Where do it go? I'm saying this is a clear message to every citizens in the State of Illinois that wedre interested in education; that we spenE the money to do that; that we passed Lottery in the first place to contribute the money to the education fund of the State of Illlnois, which is called the Common School Fund. Number one, this money is spent, I'm told and Was told in committee, to promote the Lottery - to do advertisement, to do extra advertisement. Every year, I've said 43 . -.. J . STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 1991 in appropriation, that -- the advertisement budget for the Lottery has gone up, up and up. Why give them additional fourteen million dollars to spend at their own discretton for -- for more advertisement? I contend with, Ladies and Gentlemen -- this is a good amendment. It does what it's supposed to do. It does what we are obligated and pledged ourselves to do - give money to the educational fund and for the children of the State of Illinois. I urge an Aye vote.

Well, I rise in -- in opposition to this amendment. IIm noE certain -- could you explain what it is you're tryinq to do here, Senator Jacobs?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs. ! SENATOR JACOBSI Thank you. Most certainly. Last year - and we do understand 51 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 j we do have a different arrangement this year; we have a different Governor - but there's a lot of things that happened last year that I think we should talk about somewhere down the line with the Department. There are a number of no-bid contracts that the -- the Department entered into last year. As an exampley the ARC group of Chicago secured a hundred and nineteen thousand no-bid contract Eo produce a half-hour pilot program for the proposed television series ''Down the Roadf'. Williams Kuebeleck, of urban California, secured a ninety thousand no-bid contract to study the best option for hotel development at North Point Marina. Seidman Was -- was awarded a twenty-nine thousand no-bid contract to determine whether it is feasible to privately finance over -- overnight lodging. We just Want to make sure that this type of thing doesn't happen. Wefre Willing to sit down and talk with the Department -- sure that those things are done. If they are done, they're going to be done on a bid procedure.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Senator Etberedge.
Well, I -- I believe you fll find, if you6ll check in some of Ehe earlier amendments that We have approved, some of these things that are of concern to you, Senator, have been removed already. I think What wefre talking about now is reducing a contractual service line item out of which the Department has -- has to pay things such as its -- its electric bills. 1, at this point, would regard this as a punitive amendment, and I stand in opposition to it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? If not, Senator -- IIm sorry. Senator Schaffer.
Mr. President, 1. too, rise in opposition to this amendment. 52 i STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 I thknk that we have a neW Director. That Director sat before our Appropriations Committee and assured the committee that he shared our concerns about those kind of activities. I would point out also that we have not only a neW director, we have a neW type of Director. This gentlemen is a professlonal conservation person, does not eome from the same direction that some of the past directors have come from. He's given us our -- his word that theydre going to clean that up. I'm confident, from a brief acquaintance from that man, that he's going to do it. think those of us that are concerned about conservation would not want to vote for a bill that turns the lights out for the whole effort.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If notz Senator Jacobs may close.
Thank you. In addition to just asking for a favorable voteg I - - I -- I do have to -- to respond to Senator Schaffer's remarks, because 1, too, have met With the Director. And I1m glad that you find him to be very responsive. And I'm glad you find him to listen to you, because in my case that wasn't the case. And, in fact, he is such a strong Director that he told me he was going eo have to go back and talk to his boss in the super Cabinet before he could make a decision. I want to clarify that.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins.
Thank you, Mr. President. This amendment transferred 2.2 million from insti*u*lon and group homes to be returned to *he operation of -- of two DCFS shelters to the State. In the introduetion budget, DCFS had proposed transferring the operation of two of the three state shelters to prlvate operations. If DCFS operate the shelters and are able to maintain the client census of twenty-five or below, they will be able to claim federal reimbursements. And I don't think that we Want to lose that. I 67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 I ask for a favorable vote. '
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DZMUZIO) Senator Brookins has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to House Bill 647. Discussion? Senator Maitland.
Thank you very muchw Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This is -- this is a reallocation of -- of money that was in the original Governor's request. We're concerned about what this does to the group home line item. We're also believe, Senator, that this puts a -- 4E federal funds in jeopardy. And we really need to look at this. The Director made a very careful decision when making this decision. We think it's an appropriate one and would like you to Withdraw the amendment, otherwisey Would urge opposition.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Senator -- Senator -- further discussion? Senator Brookins may close. Oh, I'm sorry. Senator Carroll.
Thank youz Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I have just learned also, Senator Brookins - I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to you - this apparently would diminish federal funds, not increase. We would actually lose federal funds because if the aqency is under twenty-five in their homes, they get federal funds; if theydre over, they lose them. Your amendment Would put them over. The reason for transferring them out was to pu* Ehem under ln order to garner federal funds, as I understand it andy therefore, think that at this skage we are better served Without the amendment.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further diseussion? Senator Maitland.

STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 to you that the lawsuit that is noW pending is based on also the overcrowding of of the shelters. And I think this is a very serious, critical amendment, and you might want to withdraw it. END OP TAPE TAPE 2
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Further discussion? not, Senator Brookins may close.
The reason that the shelters may be overcrowded, as the Senator has indicated, is because there's a dire need for these facilities in the City of Chicago and in the area that they are located in. There's a dire need for Let me just give you a little history of what we are attemptin: to do as respect to the mental institutions where we closed them and we said that we were going to fund those in community organization, in the community, where these people could be better treated. This is almost the identical same thing. We now notice that we have cut back the funds on funding any community centers, et cetera. And I don't think it take a rocket scientlst or a genius or psychiatrist to go to one of the cities, even here in Springfield and see people eating out of the garbage can and walkin: backwards down the street. That is multiplied a thousand times in the City of Chicago. I am saying to you, yes, thak we are able Eo say Khat we are going to transfer these and do it by private shelters and fund private shelters, and say to you that next year wedll be here cutting budget to go into private shelters. I say that we need to keep control of this, we need to help these shelters, we need this in the City of Chlcago and in the State of Illinois. I ask for a 69 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Lesislative Day June 21, 1991 favorable vote on this.

Thank you very muchr Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Amendment No. 3 to House Bill 647 transfers two hundred and fifty thousand from the foster home and specialized foster care line to the community services grant line to provide for an equity increasey and I kould move for the adoption.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland has moved the adoption of Amendment No. Is there a discussion? Senator Hall.
Thaak you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senator Maitlandy I know this is a great gesture, but it reallocates two hundred fifty for -- at a rate of percent. Now , if we are going into rate increases for youth providers, where are we going to get the money to do that?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 70 k 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I ; 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator, we, first of all, are transferring the money from the foster home line item into the community services grant line item . But I think there is a greater savings here. This is a -- a terribly cost-effective program, which -- and the results are -- are there: there for us to see. We have not been aaint4ining equity in this line item. The last three years it has grown by a average of only about 3.9 percent where the other line item has grown substantially more than that. We tbink this is an equity issue. It -- it transcends politkcal boundaries here . ARl parts of the State believe that it is a proper amendment and would seek your support. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Welch. I'm sorry: Senator Hall. SENATOR HALL: Go ahead, Welch. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIOJ A11 right. Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH: Thank you, Mr. President. Well this amendment, as I understand it, takes money away from foster care and reallocates it for seven and a half percent pay raise for youth service providers. Well I don't it's much of a -- I donft think it's a very good idea to take money away from foster care providers, because we have been trying to encourage people to take children and have them as foster parents. Now we are taking money aWay from them. Secondlyz youth service providers are not under the four and a half percent Grotberg-mandated increase. This is a group that isn't under the Grotberg provisions and this is more than 4.5 percent. So there's a couple of good reasons to vote 71 l STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legkslative Day June 21, 1991 against this. If you want to vote against foster care families then you vote for the amendment; otherwise, I Would urge a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Further discussion? WCIA has requested permission to videotape. Is leave granted? Leave is granted. Further discussion? Senator Pawell.
Thank you very much. I happen to serve on -- on the Aurora advisory committee and -- and there is a couple of problems with foster care. Number one, We can't find foster care parents any more, because most of the women are workin: and very frankly it's it is very difficult to -- to have foster parents. The ones that we do get quite often end up adopting the -- the children they have in foster care and then Withdraw from the program. The other -- the other thing is: if we put this the community services which is sort of like our fifteen hundred boardsz we quite frequently -- we will keep these children on the straight and narrow and we keep them in their own homesg which is really what we sbould be trying to do. I think this is a good amendment, and think we ought to support
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discusslon? Senator Hall.
Well, in a11 due respect, there's never been a time here that we have ever had monies left from the foster care line. And at this time, this is a bad move. I know it's -- wefre in a crunch. I'd like to see everything go well, but to transfer this mueh money -- it's not in the Governor's budget, and so I'd ask 'for this amendment be defeated.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussisn? If not, Senator Maitland may 72 .

I -- I'm very much aware of ehe fact that many of you don't know really the magnitude of this program. This is a community program that -- that intercedes before the child is either on its way to foster care or into the juvenile court system. It is community members - volunteers in many respects - intervening here to get these children at a very critical time in their life. The outcome is extremely, extremely good. There's a hundred and thirty-six million dollars plus in the foster care line item - maybe not enoughr Senator Hall. I don't know - never is: but this is a movement of a small portion of that money into a program that has positive results which may reduce the need for some of those other line items, and I would, again, Mr. President, move for the adoption.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.
Thank you very much. This restores twenty-seven thousand seven hundred dollars into the Prison Review Board. I'm doing this at the request of former Speaker Bill Redmond, and -- and the Review Board. Right now they have two cars that have got a hundred and six thousand miles on it and, by the time they turn them in on Marchy they will have over a hundred and fifty thousand. These -- the Prison Review Board by law must go to the various prisons all over the State. They drive and the staff drives. There has been some question about, well, they could get cheaper cars, but I don't know if a cheaper carz frankly, could go a hundred and fifty thousand miles. And that's the reason they have the -- the more upgraded car. I think we're -- wedre being very penny-wise and pound-foolish When we take this small amount - it's twenty seven thousand dollars, for crying out loud from an aqency like this. I am doing this at the request of the former Speaker and -- and I would ask your support.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there a discussion? not, Senator Carroll.
While normally, Senator Pawell, it is a minor amount and I wouldn't even bother to oppose it, think it's just -- I have to for one simple reason. We cut about six thousand, this adds back twenty -- almost twenty-two thousand. So you are, in fact, 80 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 putting them above the level it came in to the Senate. They are, fact, going to be significantly above - though it's a small agency '9l spending, which would treat them significantly different than all the other agencies. They would have aboue nlne percent growth, and lt's just somethinq we should not be doing, and there's no reason -- I mean -- 1ot of people have a 1ot of needs - we all understand that - but to almost quadruple that which we cut, think would be a mistake to do at this tlme and truly send a bad signal to a 1ot of other agencies as well. And I would oppose the amendment. PRESIDING OFFICERJ (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Fawell may close.
Well, you know: we have taken twenty-seven thousand seven hundred dollars out of their budget. This is a very, very small agency. don't think this is asking too much. Frankly, it was the House that took the money out. I think that -- that they have more than -- than had their -- their supply of cuts and I would aSk for a -- a favorable vote .

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. What this amendment does is remove 3.3 million dollars from the fund to allow a move to St. Anne's Hospital. During testimony before the Appropriations 11 Committee, it Was brought out that it was quite possible to maintain the patients in the existinq building without goin: over to St. Anne's Hospital - renovating that building and moving in. So what is happening is with this amendment, we would take away the 3. million dollars the Department has budgeted for that move: basically forcing them to keep the patients in the ISPI Building, 85 l STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 and renovate it while patients are in the building. be glad to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch has moved the adoption of Committee Amendment No. 2. Is there a discussion? Senator Rock.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I am not at a11 pleased with the proposed amendment, for the reason that there was some discussion some years ago as to whether or not - or some speculation, at least - as to whether or not the State oughk to invest in and purchase St. Anne's Hospital on the great West Side. It was then thought by the Governor that he really didn't wish to do that, for a whole host of reasons. But the fact is I donft think there's anybody at least that Idve spoken with over the past couple of years - that Won't readily admit that the patient care and the research that currently goes on at ISPI simply canft, theydre going to do a proper renovation job. And so there Was a plan to literally move ba: and baggage and patients into . this facility. just think to stop this at this point is not -- is not Well-conceived. We really ought to afford the -- the Department the opportunity to pursue their original plan. There are some who quarrel with the amount. Frankly, was surprised when I read in the paper What the proposed amount was. Yes, indeed, the State of Illinois could have purchased that property for apparently less than will be ultimately spent in terms of renovation and rent. That was a decision that was made, in my judgment, very consciously; but one that we ought not now summarily discount at -- at risk -- at the risk of -- of these patients that are so ably served in that institution. I would like to see thls amendment defeated.

In support of Senator Rock -- Senator Welch, you and I have both been involved in this dialcgue for several days and -- and -- and b0th of us are still a bit confused as to What the actual facts are.

Yes, Mr. President, Ladies and Centlemen of the Senate. I would stand in support of -- of the amendment, and 1,11 tell ycu why. And I -- I think When We have seen the frittering away cf money that we can't aeeount for -- there has been no move after this has been anticipated. We were originally promised that all of this could be handled with eight hundred thousand dollars. I don't know, indeed, that there is a plan. I -- I mean, I know Representative McGann and I have -- have turned this over ta the Legislative Audit Commission - Webre moving in that direction. I have not heatd from the Direetor of Mental Health on -- on letters I have written him sayingy 'IWhat are you going to do about this?'' I know the Governor is upset by 1t, but really does not have a plan, except what do we do? Thàs is like throwing good money after bad, until we really know What is going to be happening over there. It is a wholesale mess. And T think until we do that, this money would be better spent fn other direetions in Mental Health .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Fawell. 87 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 I I SENATOR PAWELL: i I Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the I I Assembly. 1, along with Senator Kelly, serve on the Commission I : f 1 or Mental Hea1th, and we took a tour of this facility not too I long ago. We only did not get stuck in the elevator through the grace of God. But uslng it -- it jerked tWo or three times, and I understoody very frankly, that it was not uncommon for the patients to get stuck in elevators. Now these are -- these are very -- psychotic, yeah, patients and to be -- to be eonfined in - - in a stuck elevator is certainly not doing much as far as the treatment is eoncerned. What they are planning on doing is taking down a skairwell. There is a -- a wall that you can see as you go down this stairwell, Which is on about a forty-five degree angle: because it's bulging out. And there seems to be differences of opinion why. We were told that it was a structural deficiency in the building. To keep this kind of patient inside a building like thak while they are taking down asbestos, removing stairwells, and doing all the other things that have -- that they have to do, is crazy. We should move these patients. I agree with Senator Rock. Unfortunately, it's going to cost more than We thoughtr but k think we ought to do it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further diseussion? Senator Kelly.
Thank you. Senator Fawell's right on the statement that we did go on a tour of ISPI: and We did have an elevator that Was somewhat very scary. But I guess I'm sorE of with Genator Topinka on this issue, and that is that thls started off as a small appropriation and now itfs up to sixteen million dollars. It would be enough money right here to take eare of our shortfall in Menkal Hea1th. And I think it is an kssue that's gotten way oub of hand. And I Wi1l support Senator Welch's amendment. 88 ' STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REcuLaR sEssloN SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2ly 1991 PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) i All right. Further discussion? If not -- Senator Lechowicz. l SENATOR LECHOWICZ: Very briefly: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Therels no Way you can change horses in mldstream . And that's exactty what this amendment Would do. It's unfortunate that the State didn't acquire St. Anne's Hospital when it was offered to them. They made a decision, and the decision was that theyfre going to rehabilitate that facility and have it available to the State patients after it's rehabilitated. Unfortunately, . the costg everyone agrees, is rather staggering: but there's no way you -- what you should -- that What you should do now is adopt this amendment and stop this in the progress that it's proceeded. You know, you talk about mental health and the Hea1th Code of this State, and the hospitals in this State. St. Anne's closed down, and it Was a very good hospitak. And unfortunately, the West Skde of the City of Chicaqo -- that facility did not provide the medical care that it dld in the past, because of the reimbursement rate. So now we fknally get the State to assume their responsibilities to mental health. Welre asking them to do the riéht thing, and because of the cost - not because of the hospital or the neighborhood or the patients - we're saying now wedre going to stop this funding. I would hope that this amendment would be defeated. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Purkher discussion? Senator Collins. SENATOR COLLINS: Thank you, Mr. Presidene and Members of the Senate. I -- I think that this program ks -- ks worthy of the State keeping its aqreement in terms of rehabbing this -- this facility. This facility is now -- has now been taken over by probably one of -- of the agencies -- social service agencies in this State that has ' 89 r STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 I probably the highest credibility in terms of their productivity in provlding social service programs and, also, a great track record as it relates to going out and forming various partnerships with private financial institutions and foundations in order to ralse money to provide very critical services in the area. I think that they took over this hospital with the understanding that the State Would, in fact, contribute to this rehab portion of this facility, and that this facility, once they got out of it - ISPI got out of it - would: in fact, be an asset to -- to the community. And I think we should keep that agreement.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discusslon? If not, Senator Welch may close.
Well, thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. Let me just say that this Wasn't a decision by a bunch of us sitting in the Appropriations 11 Committee to cut the budget by 3.3 million without any background information. We had two separate hearings an this issue that -- one hearing. went on for two hours. We brought them back the following week. We went on for another hour. And what happened was there was an expert group that went through this hospital and decided, in agreement with the original contractor hired by the State, that the hospital could be repaired while patients remained in the hospital. NoW if we're going to use as a criteria that the elevator gets shaky when you ride in it to evacuaEe a bullding, we had a1l better ge* out of this building, because those elevators back there get shaky every now and then. That is -- that is not much of an argument for vacating a building. The experts Went through. Arehitects and Realtors and surveyors all agreed that the building could be repaired without moving the patients out. The original contractor said the difference in cost would be 2.4 miklion, if we left the patkents 90 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 in and repaired the building, as opposed to evacuating the patients and moving them to another spot. What we've done now is ended up spending millions and millions of dollars more than we should have. And if we spend this 3.3 million dollars to move the patients to St. Annez wefre going to be faced with renovation costs, the cost of moving, and ever-mounting costs. I thtnk we should nip it in the bud right now - not spend the money to move the patients to St. Anne, and let the Department go abead and fix the building they are in at this time. I Would urge an Aye vote for this amendment.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Committee Amendment No. is a -- an attempt to actually appropriate the 2.2 million that the agency apparently failed to appropriate. There is a fourteen million dollar availability of 91 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 48th Legislative Day - June 21, 1991 federal funds. They only appropriated 11.8 of it. This would, in fact, appropriate the other 2.2 million. It also transfers nine and a half mlllion from the clinical option - a neW program that they were seekinq to start thls year - takinq the money out of the underfunded MI regional grants and -- and puts them back in the regions that exist, rather than create a new one, and make sure that we capture the additional 2.2 million of federal funds. I would move its adoption. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Carroll has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3. Is there a discussion? Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Well, thank you very much, Mr. President: Members of the Senate. Senator Carroll, itls unfortunate we rise in support of part of your amendment and in opposition of another part, so that makes us opposed to your entire amendment. Transfers are a1l right. There is an uncertainty with respect to the 2.2 million dollars in GRF. That could -- wedre not certain -- We 're not certain wefre going to capture that money. And in the evqnt we donlt, this becomes a straight GRF add-on, and at this time, would riEe in opposition. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion on Amendment No. 3? Senator Carroll, you Wish to close?

SENATOR TOPINKA: Mr. -- Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, this amendment certainly would have been a lot easier had Senator Welch 's amendment gone on. But since we dve chosen to continue to waste money on that ISPI Program, it will make using that money in a more effective manner - just transferring it over - impossible. And now I would ask that this amendment add on three million three hundred thousand dollars in mental health funds to the Singer and Madden children and adolescent programsz Whieh currently are not going to be funded. This covers youngsters from Cook and Dupage County. Obviouslyz if Senator Weleh's amendment had gone on, that ISPI money Would have, indeed, funded this actively in mental health. NoW We must seek new funding. I Would ask your support. 93 l STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l# 1991 PRESIDENT ROCK: !

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I have discussed this proposed amendment and I am in sympathy wlth what you are trying ko do here, Senator. However, I am told that !

I am further informed that if we were to break out this appropriaeion as this amendment suggests, that that miqht in fact impede this evaluation by removing the flexibility he may have to make changes during the course of this year.

Thank you very muchg Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This would reduce the spending level for the Office of the Attorney General by an amount equal to a 3.3 millions of dollars. Basically what I Would -- the point that I would like to make here is that by the guidelines that we have established and implemented here within the Senate in dealing with the budgets of each one of the constitutional officers, is to appropriate in FY'92 an amount equal to Fï'91 expenditures. Of a11 of the constitutional officers there is only one exception to that -- to that guideline and this is the -- the appropriatlon bill for the Attorney General. So what this amendment Would do Would brin: this spending level down, in the AG's office, down to PY'9l levels, and I would move for its adoption.

I I do rise in opposition to this amendment. And Senator Etheredge is partially correct/partially incorrect. No# he's not the only constitutional officer who sought an increase in his budget; the other happens to be the Office of the Secretary of State. Office of Secretary of State, though basically now raiding the road funds: - with our permission - found himself in the same bindv and that is that a budget in '9l insufficient to handle normal '92 operations. As wedll :et to the Offiee of the Secretary of State, we found that his predecessor left him with no lieense plates - also, he claimed, no postage. We dve agreed those are things that have to be done. Here We find that because of first time union agreements, unlike the other constitutional officers who already have these very same unions in their agencies - and We in fact gave them the increases when they first were unionizedz who are now into several years in those other constitutional officers; this is a first - we have to, in fact, fund it as we've done with ASFME here in many instances, et cetera. Addltionallyy certain funds are in the supplemental appropriation on the Governorgs desk that, in fact, impact the '91 budget. This would take '92 below a reasonable level foE that. Some of that may have been covered in this amendment, but it's takes them below an essential level tc maintain operations. And thirdly, it takes funds from the Crime Vietims' Fund and I don't think we want to do that. And I would urge opposl*lon ko the amendment.

There is a -- I think what we're looking at here is a budget that contemplates significant expansion in staff, ln contractual services, and in travel and in some of these other line items.

I defer to Senator Maitland on Amendment No. 3. PRESIDING OFFICERJ (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the -- of the Senate. Amendment No. appropriates five million dollars to capture -- to capture special education/Medicaid dollars. This is a new it's a new initiative, but it is to capture federal dollars that are -- that are available from the federal laW, and I would move for the adoptton.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland has moved the adoption of Committee Amendment No. Discussion? Senator Welch.
Thank you, Mr. President. I would just like to oppose this amendment. And the reason that I am standing in opposition is that the proposed new program was found by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on May 24th of this year that a Florida program similar to this violated the Federal Edueation of the Handicapped Act. The case was Jenkins vs. The State of Plorida. The letter that was sent to the Florida Department of Health and Rehabllitative Services, the offices of the General Counsel of the United States Department of Education stated, and I quote, ''Part B of the Federal Education of the Handicapped Act requires that a1l handicapped children have available to them a free, appropriate public education. Thereforey for education reasons, public funds to which a parent or child Would be entitled, regardless of the l18 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 child's residential placement, cannot be used, without parental agreement, by the public agency to maintain the ehild.'' It kould appear to me that the proposed change, as stated as being a new initiative by Senator Maitland, should be opposedê number one, as being a new proqram in a year when we are not doing many new proqrams, and secondly, because the Federal Court is going to declare it unconstitutional in any event. So I would urge Senator Maitland to withdraw the amendment, or not, I would urge a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? Senator Maitland -- Senator Maitlandy you wish to close?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Maitland.
Thank you very muche Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator, I'm -- I'm aware of the lawsuit. That was going on for about six years and was -- and was finally concluded. I have been following this for several months now. I've had a number of the same questions that think you have. I think you could bring third party providers in. think you could bring a 1ot of concerns in here right now. I have talked to the State Board as recently as this morning, and told them of my further concern and I knew of your coneern. My request would be that we allow this to stand, to stay here for now. This is a mateb with loeal funds, slightly dltferent than the Florida situation. In other words, we are matching these Medicaid dollars with local funds at a time when school districts around the State are facing a serious fiscal dilemma as we are. This is an attempt to capture some dollars to assist them with their problem as well. I -- would urge ll9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 support of the committee amendment, and -- and let's visit about it further next week.

No, there is no drafting error as such. This maintains the level of funding at the current fiscal year. The House inadvertently took out those dollars.

PRCSIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Lechowicz.
believe the Gentleman asked for a brief outline of the amendment. Ifll be more than happy to explain Basically this amendment creates a local fund matching program for Cook County Public Hospital. The funds assessed would then be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Federal Government. The federal matchin: dollars along with the original assessments would be returned to Cook County in the form of an additional Medicaid payment. No State funds would be involved and the amendment is budget neutral to the State of Illinois. It's based upon Senator Rock's bill that passed this Chamber a couple of weeks ago. Another provislon of the amendment would -- would permit the Department of Public Aid in Cook County to enter into an agreement whereby the Department Would provide services to the county, Which the county Would pay for. Any funds which Cook County pays to the Department of Public Aid under such an agreement would be eligible for federal matching dollars. This provision would also be budget neutral to the State. Basically, that's the purpose of this 127 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991 amendment.

Thank you, Mr. Presidentz Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This amendment would remove ninety-one thousand GRF fundinq. What it does - there were -- five new employees were added by House amendment. Commitkee amendment deleted two of those. This amendment removes funding for the remaining three new employees, and move for 1ts adoption. PRESIDINC OFFIPERI (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Etheredge has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2. Is there a discussion? Senator Carroll.
Thank you: Mr. President: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in opposition to Amendment No. 2, and I do so because we, the State, basically through the Supreme Court, have, in fact, imposed upon the Defender's Office the requirement that they now l29 ! - I 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GEKERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21# 1991 handle misdemeanor cases on appeals. These are a minimum number of people now to handle those; three only. We cut them from five to three. They have no ehoice but to bandle them , and I think this cut would really be counterproductive. I would urge its defeat. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Hawkinson. SENATOR HAWXTNSON: Thank you, Mr. President. I also rise in opposition to Ehis amendment. We're puttin: this requirement on them. We're also puttin: a requirement on that we're trying to reduce the time in death penalty cases. We've imposed new requirements on them so that We can speed up the hearing of those appealsz and tbis would simply disrupt that scheme and would cause those appeals to drag out even longer. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Etheredge may close. SENATOR ETHEREDGE: . Thank you very much. Just let me remind everyone - When you say that welre imposing a new responsibility on the Appellate Defender, 1et me remind you that we relieved them of this responsibility just a short period of time ago, and we did not reduce their personnel line items when we did so.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Senator Philip has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3. Is there a discussion? Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in opposition to the Minority Leader's suggestion for two basic reasons. One is that the amendment cuts federal funds that the agency would be allowed to spend. Tt's silly for us to deny ourselves the availability of federal funds that are, in fact, there for the Capital Resource Center. And it also reduces General Revenue funds below the Fiseal '91 spending level, actually reducing the operation of this agency belok that which they had last year. And I just think that it's counterproductive to a speedy system of justice of crlminal justice. Ify in fact, we lowered these people, then appeals Would take longer, rather than shorter, and it just does not make sense. I would urge a rejeetion.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Eurther discussion? If not, Senator Philip may close.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats.
Amendment -- Amendment No. and I'd just say this out loud beeause this is a very substantive amendment. So, if anyone's interested in very substantive amendments, I just want to warn you - this is one. As everyone knows, tbere is a lawsuit against the State's school funding formula riqht now. The Legislature, thus far, has been somewhat inert on the subject, and we really have not been able to come baek with a response. We've had a commission who's been working on it that hasn't qulte been able to come back with a response. This amendment is a response to that. One of the difficult problems is many of the districts are spending so much that the State is simply incapable of bringing the other districts up. I mean, We can't raise taxes enough to do that. What this amendment says in two pages 1411 say in one sentence. Any school district that accepts no State funds can ignore every State mandate but two: special educationg 94-142 of federal; and the teacher certification. Those two issues they are completely bound by. But if they will aecept no State money, every other mandate - and, you know, the mandates are: you know, this Ehick - they can say, ''Good-bye.'' NOW, they have to do it a public meeting. Their school board must meet in public, discuss this public andg in a public vote: vote to do this. So# they'd be relying a hundred percent on property taxes and they must file 135 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT . 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 sixty days before the beginning of the school year so the State Board has plenty of noticey and they can reconsider it every: single year. As said, this is a fairly substantive amendment. People allege it Would take and again, there's no way to estimate accurately because, until the school districts decide, you don't know - but it could take as much as fifty to a hundred million dollars of new money at no cost to the general taxpayers and shift it from the suburban school districts thae are spending from seven to eleven thousand per and send it to the school districts that are spending more like three thousand per. would go straight back into the formula without any other program. There are limitations to the amendment. There can be some arguments about how it's implemented. But by doing on an annual basis, we hopefully overrtde some of those. With thatz I would offer -- see if anyone has any comments or thoughts. I have offered it to Senator Berman and he seemed extremely excited, and I'm sure he'd be glad to comment. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN : That Was a good Word. Excited, I think, was appropriate. would suggest that with this amendmentz that the that the movant take seven steps to his right and show this to the Chairman of the Mandates Subcommittee for his evaluation. And I will be glad to use this in the dellberations of the School Finance Task Foree. But think, at this timey I'm not sure it's workable within the framework of how we handle school districts, and would respectfully suggest that it be withdrawn. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Further discussion? Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Well, thank you very muchy Mr. President and Members of the 136 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 2l, 1991 Senate. This -- this the first time that I -- I've had this bill in my hands. guess my first question: if he will yield, Mr. President, is, Senator, who wants this bill?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Keats.
A great number of parents and school board members in the areas that are the higher spenders but are higher spenders based upon property taxes, not based on State aid. The ldea comes from the dozens of meetings with parents and school board people who are very frustrated With the State but recognize that our level of spending really is difficult for the State to handle because they can 't come up With the money to bring the bottom schools up.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.
- - I think really, Senator, you have oversimplified this by -- you mentioned only two mandates that they had to provide. There are many other that they dre going to be responsible for. Indeed, every school in this State, including the wealthiest in your district, gets State dollars outside of the tWo mandates that you've already mentioned. So, it Would be a substantial - even to the richest school district - a substantial reduction in dollars that they get from the State and that would obviously be transferred to the local property tax owner. I Would suggest to you, senator, that we already have a system in this State that does this, and it's called prlvate schools. And there is always that option available to every parent in this State. And think this is an idea whose tkme has surfaced today and probably ought to sink today.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? .If notzhsenator Keats may close. 137 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 48th Legislative Day June 21, 1991
Thank you. I would say to my learned colleague seven steps to my right - you're right, but think you misunderstood. And because you had not read it: I do not blame you for misunderstanding. You're right. It did oversimplify the proeess. We abolished the process. We abolished it. We simply said if people are willing to pay a hundred percent themselves out of their property taxes or whatever source they decide to use other than State funds: well then, we'll leave them alone. You 're right. You can't get simpler than that. We leave the tWo mandates: special ed 94-142, which is the federal - and we really cannot walk away from that; and the teacher certification. It is that simpler and it must be done in public in full discussion with the parents. But I would say, as much as I would like to move this, because my Education Committee Chairman, who is truly a Gentleman and a scholar, has said, ''Pleasey not on my billy'' will gladly Withdraw the amendment, but We Would like to make sure that this is something being considered because many of the schools that are at the top end of spending can buy this program and have said, publicly and privately, they're very interested in this concept.
