Discussion? Genator Weaver.

Thank you, Mr. Presàdent. Question of Senator Jones.

Indicates hefll yield, Senator Weaver.  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislatlve Day July 5. 1991

Senator Jones, this bill is passed, the tracks are entitled to fifteen parlors at the current rate, and fourteen at the new rate. Is that right?

Senator Jones.

Yes. #ou are correct.

Further discussion? Senator Kelly.

Thank youz Mr. President. I must have gotten some added strength over the Weekend or yesterday. It is -- I've got a question for Senator Jones I'd like to raise.

Indicates he will yield, Senator Kelly.

Senator Jones, is it the intent of this legislation to change the distribution .formula of-Horse Racing Tax Allocation Funds to appropriate revenues from the Department of Energy and Natural Resources to a conservation district in Danville and a park department currently operating in the Village of Crestwoode in lieu of a park district?

Senator Jones.

Yeah. To that question: You are correct; that is the intent. Also, I'd like to also read for intent, so that there's no problem with this in the future. Thirty-five charity groups or associations assisting community needs or other related activities helping various people, groups or communities throughout the State of Illinois which directly or indirectly benefit the backstretch 4  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislative Day July 1991 employees and their families. That was the intent as ik relate to using tbe eharitable funds to aid those persons on the backstretch.

Further discussion? Senator -- I'm sorry. Senator Kelly.

One more question. Senator Jones, as it relates to the Village of Crestwood, has the Village agreed to this change that this would be the park department, as opposed to a park district? Did they concur in this?

senator Jones.

I can't give you an affirmative answer on that partieular question, because it was not brought to my attention.

Further discussion? Senator Watson.

Thank you, Mr. President.. Question of the sponsorz please.

Indicates he Will yieldz Senator Watson.

Yes. Thank you. Senator, does this legislation have anything to do with simultaneous broadcastinq?

Senator Jones.

Yes, it does.

Senator Watson.

ooes this mean that Fairmont Racetrack, located in my distrkct  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SCSSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60tb Legislative Day July 5, 1991 in Collinsville, can now have a simultaneous broadcast at the other racetracks throughout this State?

Senator Jones.

Yes. If the agreement is worked out between Fairmont and those other tracks receiving the signals -- they agree to do this, yes, it can happen.

Further discussion? Senator Schuneman.

Question of the sponsor, Mr. President.

Indicates he Will yield, Senator Schuneman.

Senator, is there a change in the distribution between the track owners and the horsemen in this proposal?

Senator Jones.

Yes, there is a change, and this change Was worked out between the group wherein the horse owners Will receive a little slightly increase on a1l the new parlors think it goes up to six percent - am I correct? Up to six percent. Yes.

Senator Schuneman.

But they are in agreement then With -- wàth this compromise. Thank you.

Further discussion? Further discussion? Senator Hall.

6  STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 6Qth Legislative Day July 5, 1991 Thank you, Mr. Preskdent. Wi11 the sponsor yield for. . .

Indicates he kill yield, Senator Hall.

Senator Jones, we no longer have Fairmont, and I'm sure that Senator realizes that now. But over in Sam Vadalabene's district, we have -- I meant we no longer have Cahokia, Which was over in our district. And Fairmont is -- is still there. I mean -- yeah. That's right. What I Want to know is that -- improvement to the tracks. And it's in dealing with back strap <sie> now -- would you give us, for the edification of everybody, just what are back strap Ksic> employees?

Senator Jones.

The backstreteh employees are tbose persons who work with the horses, who are there on the backstretch . And in eommittee, this issue was discussed at length as relate to the Racetrack Improvement Fund, whieh comes from the breakers as such. And it was my concern, and concern of many, that more dollars should go to the backstretch to aid those employees - such as health care benefits for living conditions and so forth. And this is also incorporated in this leqislation.

Further discussion? Senator Jones, to -- I'm sorry. Senator Woodyard.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Maybe I can clarify the question answered by -- asked by Senator Kelly regarding the -- the Danville situation and the Park District/conservation Distriet language in this bill. Presently, any any unit of government that has a park district that has a  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Leqislative Day July 5, 1991 museum, irregardless of where it is, can capture two-sevenths of that handle of that OTB located in that park district. In the case of Vermilion County in Danville, they do not have a park district, but they have a conservation district that does have a museum that qualified to capture that -- that two-sevenths, and -- and it simply opts them in, too. -- I know of no other OTB that this would affect other than Danville. Grayville is the only other one that does not have a park district. And it's my understandinq that they do not intend to have a park district nor a conservation district. And so that's basically a11 that portion of it does.

Senator Hall. I'm sorry. I cut you off.

Well, I have to apologize. I didn't have my -- my light on. Senator Jonesr that -- these people at one time -- there was a fund that went to charity or people who were there, and they said that that just was temporarlly taken off, and was going to come back qp. But now these people who work back there - there are many people who come -- follow racetraeks around, and theyfre they don't live Within that area. They're just there temporarily. What happens When you -- does that mean that in Vadalabene's area, for instance, that there's going to be more people hired from that area or what?

Senator Jones.

As far as the hiring policies, so far as the backstretch is concerned, this does not get into it. But we are talking about those persons as far as living conditions are eoncerned. 1 don't care if they come from out of state or nok, or they are in state . But when they live there on the backstretch, they should have 8  STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 6Qth Legislative Day July 5, 1991 conditions that are suitable to one that you would -- kouldn't I mind livinq in. They should have at least decene toilet facilities. They should have a child care facility. They -- they should have decent livkng conditions wherein it is conducive for a person to want to work on the backstretch. Now, where they come from, I could not -- I know these -- persons travel from state to state, but by the same token, in many instances, they have little children. And the children should be -- have -- have What you call day care. They should not be locked up in rooms and et cetera. And these are some of tbe things, in working with the Racing Board, we attempted to address. So if they are children from down in Senator Sam Vadalabene's area, and they are living on the track in those housing facilities, then those conditions must be met with.

Further discussion? Senator O'Daniel.

Thank you: Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I rise in support of this conference committee report <sic>. When they're talking about the backstretch - those people travel with the horses, and a lot of them live in empty stalls and tack rooms and things of this nature. And -- and What this Would do Would I providesomewhatmorefavorablelivingconditionforthesepeople. 1 Also it allows the horsemen to have a -- a little larger take of the handle. So I think this is -- is a worthwhile conference , commitkee report <sicl, and I would suppor: i*.

Further dlscussion? Senator Jones, to close.

Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. As I -- as T indicated: in legislation that passed this Body: We passed legàslation designating all those breakage funds go eo the backstretch, which 1 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislative Day July S, 1991 which runs into a total of millions of dollars . But the tracks have agreed. They begin -- they will spend more money on the backstretch to aid those employees, coupled with these funds going in there. So I see no opposition to that, and believe I answered al1 questions necessary. And I ask for a favorable vote on the concurrence amendment to Senate Bill 458.

Question is, shall the Senate concur in House Amendments l and 30 to Senate B(11 458. Those in favor, vote Aye. Opposedg vote Nay. And the voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 47 Ayesr 6 Naysr l votin: Present. Senate does concur in House Amendments 1 and 30 to Senate Bill 458, and the billz having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. Any other Member have a bill on that Order Ehey Wish to address? Senator iigney, the bill number is? Senator Rigney, what's the bill number, please?

The blll number is Senate 384.

All right. Top of Page On the Order of Secretary's Desk, Concurrence. Senate Bill 3-8-4, Madam Secretary.

House Amendment No . 1 to Senate B(11 3-8-4. PRESIDENT ROCMI Senator Rigney.

Mr. President, the original bill over here amended the Local Governmental Tort Immunity Act. What it did was to include museum districts in kind of a laundry list of local governmental uniEs that were to be covered by that. And then in the House , there -- 10  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislative Day July 1991 an amendmenk was added on that attempted to correct a shortcoming in the current law dealing with a situation where local governmenks have the authority to levy taxes to protect themselves against liability, property damage, or loss. However, in another section of that same law, it did not cover the situations about property damage or loss; in other words, the authority to spend your money for that purpose. I think, obziously, if you have the authority to levy a tax for property damage or loss, you should also have the authority then to spend the money for that purpose.

So the motion is?

Move to concur.

Al1 right. The Gentleman has moved concurrence on House AmendmenE No. to Senate Bill 384. Discussion? Senator Luft.

Al1 right. The Lady has moved the adoption of House Joint Resolution 65. Discussion? Senator Donahue.

Thank youy Mr. President. I have a questlon of the sponsor, please. PRESIDENT R0CK: Indicates she Will yield. Senator Donahue.

Senator Collins, is this -- the language in this resolution mandatory, or is it permissive?

Senator Collins.

It's -- it's permissive.

Senator Donahue.

Well: I don't have the resolution in front of me, but kould question what it says on the Calendar. And it says that the Northeastern Illinois University shall establish an international faculty and student exehange. So, can you show us in the 19  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY RECULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislative Day July 5, 1991 resolution where it is permissive and noe mandatory?

Senator Collins.

I am told that this is done With the approval of the President of the University. And it is -- it is contingent upon them getting private funding. And I understand that they do have means for private funding for this program. So he didn't have any problems with the word ''shall'' and she left the word shall there. There ls no State money involved in this at all.

Senator Donahue.

Well, donlt have any reason to question what you're saying. But if we pass a resolution that says they shall, and if the money doesn 't come up, where will the money come from? It's going to come from us. So I just question that part and would leave the Membership to do as they wish.

Further discusslon? Senator Welch.

Well -- Welly yes, I think that the Membership should pay some attention here. What we have here is a -- one of the universities is establishing, according to the Calendarr an international faculty for -- with various African and Caribbean nakions. I don't know how you can have a privately-funded faculty on a -- on a statewide campus. You've got pension. Youbve got other contributions from the State. That canêt be paid by any private group. Wedve had a lot of fights here on the Floor about I knok we had a big fight over extending an engineerin: school to Northern Illinois University. And here we 're passing a resolution establishing an international faculty - for what reason, I don't 20  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th CENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 60th Legislative Day July 5, 1991 know - to -- with various African and Caribbean nations. It seems to me we need a 1ot more information about this before we go tellin: some university that they can now be an international university. And why it's Northeastern Illinois University and not the University of Illinois or Northern or Southern, I don't know. This, I think, needs a lot aore research before we pass this resolution.

Further diseussion? Further discussion? Senator Collins, to elose. SENATOR COLLINS) Well, included in this resolution, it it talks about this project Will go only with private funding. So if ik doesn't 9et the private funding, the project does not go. It's my understanding that the President of the University is in favor of khls resolution. It passed the House, no objections at all. And would just ask for a favorable roll call. PRESTDENT ROCEJ Question is: ehe adoption of House Joint Resolution 65. Those in favor will vote Aye.
