Senaior Leverenz. ...(machine cueoff)..owish to pursue -- Senator Leverenz, do you wish to pursue that motion? A1l right . All right . Ladies and Gentlemen , if I can have your attent ion , we 're on Page 12 on the Calendar . On the Order of Motions in Writing to Override Total Vetoes , there ls a motion with respect to House Bi11 l36. Madam Secretary , read the motion, please .
I move that House Bill 136 do pass, the veto of the Governor 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 to the contrary not withstanding. Piled by Senator Leverenz. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Leverenz. SENATOR LEVERENZ: I thank you, Mr. President: Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I would make this motion for, I believe, some very good i i reasons. The bill deals with a Broker Lien Act. And a number of questions, '1 believe, have been put to everyone: but I want to ' address, specificallyr those that have been brought up by my . : opponents that have sent out a flyer. The first is that this kould establish a mandatory escrow prior to closing. That, in fact, is not the case. It is not mandatory. Their second point was that adequate provislons for determining the amount af the eserow, if the amount of claim is not ascertainable at closing, ' and that - - it was also addressed. And further, the lien can be l ! obtained without adequate notice. That is not true . It's like every other lien, there is a notice mailed to the owner. Further, the lien would take priority over existing mortgages. That is not eorrect at all, and was addressed by a House amendment to the i bill. And finally, there was no provision for either a Waiver or release of lien in the bill. I understand that you wilt find those specific things answered on Pages 6, Page 5, Page 4 and other parts of Page 4 and 5. So those things that have been given I to the Governor that led him to veto the bill arer I believe, bad ! information given to the Governor; but that happens even to us from time to time. So I'd like to answer any questions you might have with regard to the bill, and ask you to join me by voting 1 ; : green to override the Governor's veto. PRESIDENT ROCK: A11 right. The Gentleman has moved the passage of House Bill i 136, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Is 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 there any discussion? Any discussion? If not, the question is, shall House Bill 136 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay, and the voting is open. Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 48 Ayes, 4 Nays, 2 voting Present. House Bill 136, having received the required three-fifths vote, is declared passed, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. 318. Senator Marovitz. 1230. Senator Jacobs. Read the motion, Madam Seeretary. 1230. House Bill 1230.
I move that House Bill 1230 do pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed by Senator Jacobs.
Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. ask that we override the -- the House Bill 1230 -- not withstanding the override. This bill is a -- a pilot program for Rock Island County. The Governor stated in his message, that there was a program already in place: that is not correct. There is no program in place. There is not cost to this, that DASA said they could not take care of With their current appropriations for Rock Island County. Thls was overrldden in the House, and ke ask that it be overridden here, and be happy to answer any questions.
Discussion? Js there any discussion? If not, the question is, shall House Bill 1230 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor Will vote Aye. Opposed , vote Nay and the voting's open. Have a1l voted who wish? Al1 STATE 0F ILLINOIS ' 1 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 30 Ayes, 26 Nays, none voting Present, and the motion fails. 1432. Senator Jones. 1811. Senator Leverenz. Read the motion -- weire on the top of Page 13, Ladies and Gentlemen on the Motion to -- in Writing to Override Total Vetoes. There's a motion filed with respect to House Bill 1811. Read the motion, Madam Secretary, please. SECRETARY HAWKER: ! I I move that House Bill 1811 do passy the veto of the Governor ' to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed by Senator Leverenz. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Leverenz. 1 ! SENATOR LEVERENZ: Thank you, Mr. President. The bill - House Bill 1811 - the Governor has said that the bill interferes with free trade. It would provoke foreign trade partners from erecting tariff I barriers. - The bill would endanger pröfits of Illlnois manufacturers, and a number of other things. The bottom line is - in my view - we passed this bill once, we should pass it again. I would ask for your Aye vote, and join me in overriding the Governor's veto on House Bill 1811. PRESIDENT ROCK: Al1 right. The Gentleman has moved that House Bill 1811 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Discussion? Senator Hudson. SENATOR HUDSON: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I donft think that this bill should be addressed here or voted on without some thought as to what lt is we're doing. We are saying, in effect, that the State of Illinois or its agencies shouldn 't enter 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 into the purchase of any products unless they meet certain . requirements. And those requirements, Ladies and Gentlemen are very difficult to meet. Component parts. How do you define component parts? Let's just consider Caterpillar Tractor here in the State of Illinois. If tbis bill passesz we couldn't even buy - - it would foreclose the purchase of Caterpillar products that k are manufactured outside of this country. Caterpillar -- Caterpillar Tractor is one of our largest businesses, as you knoww here in the State. They certainly -- this Would be a serious hit ! - - a serious blow to business, not only for Caterpillar, but for i other businesses in the State of Illinois, at the time when we need to export our purchases -- our products. Wefve got to consider that is we do this there Will be retaliation. And if we say we can 't import from this country or that country, for whatever reason, then you can rest assured there will be retaliation, and other areas will say then, ''Therefore we will not i buy the State of Illinois produces.'' T think ie's an -- an extreme bill. I think it's a poor bill, one that would hurt our Illinois bcsiness at the very time when we need support for our business, our products at the worst -- at the -- at the worst I moment -- beut moment -- whatever. We need to sell. We need to manufacture. This is not a good trade, and I -- I would recommend that you think seriously about the bill, and after thinkin: seriously about the bill, vote against overriding this Governor's : veto on this.
Al1 right. The question is, passaqe of House Bill 1811, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Fureher discussion? Senator Brookins. i
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill. And I rise in support of this bill for the very fact that the 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 previous speaker has spoke of. On the south side of Chicagè where I my district is, Southworks used to be there, a steel company, Wisconsin Steel was there, LTD Was going, a11 those companies are gone and the citizens that live in that community now are on Public Aid and lookin: for handouts from the State of Illinois: which you seem to don't feel that they need, or that they want. And the reason is# is because al1 the steel companies have moved to -- South Africa is Where we are buying it from. We're buying it from Mexico and everywhere from where we are supposed to be buying it from . And that's the citizens of the State of Illinois that make steel. That's what we're interested in. The people that can work and live in Illinois and produce a product so that they can earn a living. That's what we are talking about, and that's what we should be about. We're about workinq people. Working in the steel mills here in Illinois. Not working in steel mills in -- in Mexico or -- or China or wherever. Illinois is what we're interested in and welre interested in Illinois workers. Vote Yes for this bill.
Further discussion? Senator Butler.
Thank you, Mr. President. I think there's a -- one Section of this bill that we a1l ought to be paying attention to, that's not mentioned very frequently. And that is that it requires - I underline the word ''requires'' - that the State or the local ' governments pay as much as ten percent more for material purchased under this Act. So what we're doing is really requiring a ten-percent increase, and it seems to me that's a heck of a thing to mandate on local government. Do we really want to raise the cost to local governments and State government ten percent in order to fill whatever hidden motives there might be in this bill?
14 STATE 0P ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 ! i Further discussion? Senator Leverenz, you wishg to close? SENATOR LEVERENZ: Thank you, Mr. President. And to the Gentleman that just spoke from the other side of the aisle, like a11 bills they get amended. Like many proposals, they change. That which you just addressed, State government or local government paylng as much as ten percent more for a state product, was removed from the bill. Therefore, with that change, I would hope that you would support this bill. It is tim'e that we started to get a little bit ' protectionist about ourselves. It is nothinq better to do than to buy what is made here. I Would encourage everyone in this room to buy Illinois and American products, and cast your Aye voee to override the veto of the Governor. PRESIDENT ROCK: Question is: shall House Bill 1811 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay and the voting's open. Have a11 voted Who Wish? Have a1l voted Who wish? Have al1 voted Who Wish? Have a11 -voted Who Wish? Have a1l voted Who Wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 30 Ayes. 25 Nays, 1 voting Present, and the motion fails. 2052. Senator Leverenz. Read the motion, Madam Secretary, please. SECRETARY HAWKER: I move that House Bill 2052 do pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwitbstanding. Filed by Senator teverenz. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Leverenz. SENATOR LEVERENZ: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. The bill simply says that an employer, on an application, should nok have the capability of prescreening those and asking the 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 question ''does a person consume alcohol?'' What they do on their own time should be of there own free will. unless employers want ' i to start paying people twenty-four hours a day. Answer any i questlons that you might have with regard to the bill, and ask that you join me in overriding the veto of the Governor. PRESIDENT ROCK: Gentleman has moved passage of House Bill 2052, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Discussion? If not, the question is, shall House Bill 2052 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwlthstanding. Those in favor will ' vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. The voting is open.

Senator Jones. Page 13 on the Calendar, Ladies and Gentlemen. Page l3. Bottom of Page l3, on the Order of Motions in Writing to Accept Specific Recommendations for Chanqe. Senator Lechowicz. House Bill 2. Read the motion, Madam Secretary, please. SECRETARY BAWKER: I move to accept the specific recommendations of the Governor in House Bill 2, in manner and form as follows: Amendment to House Bill 2 in Acceptance of Governor's Reeommendations Filed by Senator Lechowicz. PRESIDCNT ROCK: Senator Lechowicz. SENATOR LECHOWICZ: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. PRESIDENT ROCK: Can I ask the staff to take their conferences off the Floor, please? We will -- we will be in business probably only another hour or so. I'd ask the staff to please take their business off I 16 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY ' REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 the Floor, so that we can hear the Gentleman's explanation. E Senator Lechowicz. SENATOR LECHOWICZ: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. The specific recommendations, contained in the Governor's amendatory veto of House Bill 2, are designed to make the administrative implementation of the bill -- provisions more , equitable and efficient. The changes provide for more consistent treatment between wartime and peacetlme veterans, in affording hirtng preference based upon the types of military service ' diseharges, including veterans who have received hardship diseharges. Further, the recommended changes would not allow the transfer of veteran's preference rights to a surviving unparried <sie> (unremarried) spouse unless the veteran suffered a service-connected death or a service connected injury that prevents the veteran from qualifyinq for civil service employment. It is not the underlying intent of House Bill 2 to guarantee State employment to anyone. It simply provides for an extra preference in terms oF points granted towards an applicant's final score on a given test. The proponents of the bilk are the Secretary of State, the Department of Central Management Services, Department of Veterans ' Affairs and Veterans groups. I know of no opposition of the amendatory veto of the Governor. I ask that the Senate do concur in the amendatory veto on House Bill 2. PRESIDENT ROCK: The Gentleman has moved acceptance of the Governor's specific recommendations for change. Is there any discussion? If not, the question is, shall the Senate accept the specific recommendations of the Governor as to House Bill 2, in the manner and form just stated by Senator Lechowicz. Those in favor wlll vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay, and the voting's open. Have all voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Take 17 : STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day ' November 6, 1991 I the record. On that question, there are 55 Ayesy no Nays, none voting Present. The specific recommendations of the Governor as to House Bill 2, having received the required constitutional vote of Senators elected, are declared accepted. 175. Senator Rea. Read the Motion, Madam Secretary, please. SECRETARY HAWKER: I move to accept the specific recommendations of the Governor as to House Bill 175, in manner and form as follows: Anendment to House Bill l75 in Acceptance of Governor's Recommendations Filed by Senator Rea. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Rea. SENATOR REA: Thank you, Mr. President. I move to accept the recommendation of the Governor on House Bill 175. House Bill l75 would provide for the burial expense increase, which would increase it from seventeen-fifty to forty-two hundred. And, of course, Illinois is the seventt lowest in the country. What is eliminated here by the Governor's amendatory veto ls the Section that Would require the employer insurance company to tell an injured worker in writing why temporary total beneftts are being cut oéf: and I would ask for an Aye vote. 1 PRESIDENT ROCK: All right. The Gentleman has moved acceptance of the Governor's specific recommendations With respect to House Bill 175. Discussion? Senator Hudson. SENATOR HUDSON: Thank you, Mr. President. It -- it might be helpful for some of our Members to -know that in the main, I think almost all the business groups have with withdrawn there objections that they once had to this -- to this particular measure. My understanding I 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 also is that the Governor, in his amendatory -- in his veto here , has left the burial provisions of the -- of the bill, which do not seem to be onerous - at least to business and to other people seem to be fair enough. But at the same time has not this does not contain some of the other provisions originally in the bill, that were not agreed to by both business and management. So at this point: there seems to be at least a form of -- of agreement on the measure.
Question is, shall the Senate accept the speeific recommendations of the Governor as to House Bill 175, in the manner and form just stated by Senator Rea. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay, and the voting 's open. Have a1l voted who kish? Have all voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have a1l voted Who wish? Take the record. 0n that question, there are 57 Ayes: no Nays, none voting Present.

Will the sponsor yield for a question? 1 PRESIDENT ROCK: Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Pawell. SENATOR FAWELL: Senator, according to our analysis: the Governor was Wrong, ! the bill is technically correct. The Governor's amendaeory language makes the bill technically and substantially goofy. The I amendatory veto provides that the borrower, not the pawnbroker, is : entitled to the new fees. I wonder if you could pull that out and - - and have your stâff look to make sure we're not giving the fees to the wrong guy. 1 I PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Fawell, in a1l due respect, ! I don't -- do not believe that Governor Edgar could be wrong in that he may have made a mistake. I doubt if that be the case. However, in that fact the only issue that We have here, however, I is that we can either accept this amendatory veto or we -- we -- and can chanqe the language later. Or we can reject the veto, which would take an extraordinary majorkty, which we probably , Would not do, which would kill the bill, so I would just suggest ; : that we accept this action, proceed from here and change any language that may be necessary in the future.

On the Ordet of Motions in Writing t9 Override Total Vetoes there's a motion filed with respect to House Bill 475. Madam Secretary, read the motion, please.
I move that House Bill 475 do pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Piled to Senator Kelly.
Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I do move for the override of the total veto of the Governor on House Bill 475. This legislation relates to assistant regional superintendents and what it does is, deletes part of the provision that the administrative certlflcate, rather than applying to b0th -- it would just apply to b0th, kt would just apply to the administrative certificate, they wouldn't have to have a teachers and an administrative certificate b0th. -- I had some reservations, as I know Senator Toplnka had aboue Mr. Martwick 's department having an effect on this bill, but the State Board feels this only applies to assistant superintendents, and I 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6 , 1991 would therefore -- would move for the Total Veto Override . PRESIDENT ROCK: All right. The Gentleman has moved passage of House Bill 475, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding . Discussion? Senator Topinka. SENATOR TOPINKA: Yes. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, our objection when this bill first came up - and I would concur with the Governor's veto - Was that, yes it does apply to assistant superintendents. What I Would question, and continue to question, cause I think it does address this issue, is that the assistant ' superkntendent kn Clok County, Lynn Johns, has been, you know, either the -- the leader of Mr. Martwick - cause you can never find him - and Lynn Johns always speaks to -- to his issues and when she talks to anybody in general, this would put her in line and she could then, bastcally fill in and -- and become the superintendent before that position is eased out as the legkslatkon that we put through recently got on the record. So as a result, 1'think a11 We dre doing here is providinq a Lynn Johns retirement package for down the road. And I really do object to this. I think the Governor is on the rkght track. Instead of having Richard Martwick to deal with, we now would have Richard Martwick and Lynn Johns and that just doubles our pleasure and doubles our fun.
Further discussion? Senator Kelly, you wish, to close?
Just appreciate your support on this total override motion.
Question is, shall House Bill 475 pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay, and the votinq's open.

Read the aotione Madam Secretary, please. SECRETARY HAWKER: I move that House Bill 533 do pass, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Filed to Senator Berman. PRESIDENT ROCK: ' Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN: Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This bill was sponsored by Representative Gordy Ropp in the House. What it provides for is that school districts shall assist students to make appropriate career choices. It's the world of work proposal. The discretion as to the amount of time and the approach to be taken is strictly within the purview of the school districts.' I suggest to you it is not a mandate, it is a recognition of preparing our children in the schools to be able to undertake meaningful work opportunities after they get out of school. *1 solicit your Aye vote to override the veto. PRESIDENT ROCK: A11 right. The Gentleman has moved passage of House Bill 533, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Discussion? Senator Karpiel. SENATOR KARPIEL: Thank you, Mr. President. I stand in opposition to this bill. This bill is a -- another mandate on our school districts. Our school districts who have been complaining about underfunding, about delay of the last payment, about many things. But one of the things they have been complaining about for many years, is the 30 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 imposition of mandates, without funding. Obviously this is without funding: is another mandate. Already in the 1aw are the words that the primary purpose of schooling is the transmission of knowledge and culture necessary for students development and entry into the World of work. That's already in the law. I knok many school districts hold eareer days. They do many things in this field. I don't think we need to impose on our school districts of this State another unfunded mandate and I urge a No vote.
Further diseussion? Senator Butler.
Thank you, Mr. President. Unless I misunderstand english, this bill has a -- I just outlined at least ten 'shalls'' and I don 't see any ''mayd'. It seems to me that this is a mandate by any other name. I'm reminded -- I would suggest that this be turned down.
Al1 right. The Gentleman has moved passage, the veto of the Governor to the contrary notwithstanding. Is there further discussion? Senator Berman, you Wish, to close?
I would suggest that each school district still has the opportunity to determine how they're qoing to encourage the world of work for their children. I solicit ycur Aye vote.

This has been a fund that's been created to encourage design professionals. I was not aware of any problem with this bill and I think the vote in June reflects that.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Berman.
Thank you. 1'11 take the last roll call. No. I'm just kidding. But I would like to take it. This bill allows -- it provides to school boards the power to ensure against loss or liability for those employees of firms holding contracts with the school district who hdve direct daily contact wkth -- with pupils. Educational support personnel shall include, but not be limited to, noncertified personnel; such as custodians, food service personnel, secretaries and transportation personnel. This dpes not - and I want to underline the word ''noty'' require school districts to carry liability insurance for contractual employees. This -- ehis bill passed out of this Body, 59 to nothing. Passed out of the House l09 to l in the spring Session. I solicit your Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Is there discussion? Senator Karpiel.
Thank you, Mr. President. Again, I rise in opposition even though this did pass out thls Chamber, I suppose on an Agreed Bill List, 59 to nothing. At the time we new the State was in bad financial state, now we know it's even worse than we thought. Again this is another mandate on school districts. No, it does not mandate that they carry the liability insurance, but, if they do, it has to be at the same level provided to school employees . This is going to raise costs for our local school districts and again I urge a No vote.

JOYCE) Further discussion? Senator Berman, to close. SENATOR BERMAN: Thank you. .What this bill says, if they decide, and the decision is still theirs, to provide liability coverage it has to be at a reasonable level concurrent with other employees that have similar exposures. There's nothing wrong with this, youfre setting a State policy that if theydre going to provide that kind of coverage that there should be a adequate level of coveraqe.

Filed to Senator Berman. PRESIDING OFFICERZ (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Berman. SENATOR BEKMAN: Thank you, Mr. President. This bill deals with home-delivered ' meals for seniors. If there's any program that I think that we have found to be a cost-effective program, it has been Meals on Wheels, and that's what this bill deals with. What it prokides is that home-delivered meals furnished to eligible individuals through a nutrition provider funded by an Area Agency on Aging shall be considered an essential service to prevent unnecessary institutionalization of persons age sixty or older. This is a bill that, if ever there is one that we talk about a -- a -- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: this is that bill. . I urge an override of the Governor's veto. PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Is there any discussion? Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Indeed this is a good program and very worth while and I said last spring, Senator Berman, that I believe that we ought to at some point extend this to the people who truly need it. It is my view at this point, that there are some people who are reeeiving Meals on Wheels that are kind of a falling through the cracks and probably shouldn't be receiving it. And I think we need to tighten up on -- on those guidelines a little bit, and I think we al1 see that in our community. Nonetheless, be that as it may, it 35 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT 79th Legislative Day November 6, 1991 I I is a very worthwhile program. The problem with this is, this I makes it an entitlement. It makes it an entitlement, and a1l of i I those who are Waiting and eligible now will be guaranteed and assured that they 're going to have the program and we're going to pay for it. We simply don't have the money to do it prospectively, as this suggests, and We ought to wait until we get ! 1 those guidelines in order and have the revenue to pay for the i program, and let's funded as we have it now, and reject this -- this motion. l
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Further discussion? Senator Berman, to close. Oh, your light I . i I wasn 't on. Senator Brookins. !
I Thank you, Mr. President. I raise in support of this bill. I : In last Weeks paper - I think it was the Tribune - We :ot senior citizens now eatin: dog food and cat food, because they can't afford the meals and the expenses that are going on -- taking : place here in the State of Illinois. Last -- earlier in the Session we 'had Members on the other side talking about how nice it is to be in Illinois and how we're a friendly State and et cetera. I think then I raised and said how mean the State of Illinois is beeoming. We dre becoming verye very mean when we don't want to ! help the elderly and the senior citizens, anb those folks thae have spent lives to build this State to where it is. If the program is beinq abused, then why don't we correct it. but not kill the Whole program. Not feed those needy persons or those persons who depend on this program. This ls a worthwhlle program. It's one of the best things that the State of Illinois is doing. Let's continue to take care of our elderly. I ask for an Aye vote ! on this, and this should pass.

So we dre not killing the whole I ! program, whether you vote for it or against it, you know, I'm not standing here in opposition necessarily, except to correct the impression that the last speaker gave that there is 6.6 million dollars in the budget for this program.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Further discussion? Senator Berman, to close.
Thank -- thank you, Mr. Presldent. And 1et me say that to the - - to the great credit of this Body, we did not allow in our spring Session that Meals on Wheels be jeopardized. And it is an important program. I think that many of you recognize that. Let me comment on Senator Maitland's point regarding people that may be getting it -- getting Meals on Wheels that don't deserve that. Shame on our administrators who don't check that out. In my community, I'm not aware of any. I've got to tell you that. If there's any program that receives constant accolades - constant praise - constant support - it's Meals on Wheels. And What this bill does is to restate our commitment that it is an entitlement program. The people that should get it, should get it, and that's what this bill does. I think it's Worthwhile. I don 't think any of us Want to go back to our seniors and say that Wedre doin: anything less than supporting Meals on Wheels. I urge an Aye vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR J.J. JOYCE) Senator Holmberg.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 12 creates the Gender Balanced Appointments Act and requires certain appointed State entities to be gender balanced to the extent possible. I think all of us realize how important this bill is, havinq Watched the Thomas-Hill hearings on television. And I think, to a person, those who watched said to me, ''Had there been one Woman on that judicial commitkee, we might have avoided the television circus that was presented to us.'' The Governor has made tWo changes in the bill. One is that it will only apply to future appointments, and that the sponsors, in the House and myself, do accept. The other one, I think We have some questions about, because it takes the reporting requirements out of the bill.

House Bill 2366 was that bill which required the State and the State agencies to provide information to landholders in eminent domain proceedings.

I think that sixty days is certainly adequate time to notify a property or a landowner that the State of Illinois intends to take their property. And I would hope and think that this Senate Would aqree that sixty days is a reasonable period of time, and thereforee I would move to override the specific recommendations of the Governor.
