This amendment was actually a bill that did not make it out of Rules Committee. I don't think because of any controversy whatsoever. It was suggested to me by the supervisor of assessments of my home county. And by the Way, the Department of Revenue has no problem with this -- with this at all. It -- it simply allows those counties that divided into four assessment districts by resolution before January 1, 1990, to extend that time to those counties to make those divisions on assessing districts until January 1 of 1992.

Senator Vadalabenee on Amendment No. l.
Thank you, Mr. President. M endment No. l to Senate Bill 1532 limits the survlvors to receive compensatione based on World War . II and Korean POWS , to unmarried surviving spouses . Currently , the bill extends the right of virtually any surviving relative of a POW to receive the fifty-dollars-per-month stipend, per month, for POWs spent in captivity. Originally, the Department of Veterans' Affairs estimated that the highest possible cost of this bill Would be four million dollars. The Department Would reduce the estimate currently about fifty percent . But the Department of Veterans is not certain of the exact amount: and I -- adopt the amendment .

Amendment No . 2 to Senate Bill 1532 amends the Department of Veterans Affairs Act to Persian Gulf Veterans Compensation . 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY ; REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 105th Legislative Day May l4, 1992 ' Allows the Department of Veterans' Affairs to compensate Persian j Gulf veterans from any money appropriated to pay bonuses for veterans. The Department authorized payments to Persian Gulf veterans to be paid from income on tax checkoff funds. To date, only about six thousand dollars has been raised through the checkoff. The Department of Veterans' Affairs has funds appropriated to pay other veteran bonuses, which would elapse at the end of this fiscal year. This amendment would permit the Department of Veterans' Affairs to use the otherwise lapsed funds to help pay the Persian Gulf veterans, and I move for the adoption.

Amendment No. l offered by Senators Carroll and Luft.
Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Amendment No. l would establish basically a Joint Committee on I 10 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1 REGULAR SESSION ' SENATE TRANSCRIPT i ! I 105th Legislakive Day May 14, 1992 Spending Control made up of the Chair and Minority Spokesmen of ' I the two Senate Appropriations Committee, plus the Chair and ! Minority of the Senate Revenue Committeez a like number appointed by the House of the two of their four Chairs and Minority Spokesmen in Appropriations and one in Revenue - the purpose of which is, if, in fact: it is necessary, based on any of our reductions ko contractual services and the like, for someone to feel for those three or four months of the beginning of the fiscal ! year: when we're not here, that there may have been an emergency ! that arose that could not await our return - since wefre here about nine months out of the year - this would be that safety valve for the Governor to be able to go before a bipartisan, bichamber - equal in each - committee to get a release of funds while the General Assembly was not here. It is hoped that - it is hoped that - that this never has to come into play. It is logical that it will never have to come into play, since if they have twelve months' spending authorityz it's only the first three or four months wedre not here. At any other time, they would just go before the General Assembly as they always did. But just in case a safety valve was needed, this is offered as a concept to give some relief if, in fact, anybody ever thought it was essential. There is no cost to this at all. The staff would be provided by the four legislative partisan staffs, and I would move adoption of Amendment No . 1.
Senator Carroll's moved the adoption of Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 1557. Discussion? Senator Maitland.
Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator Carroll, this, of course, dropped on us very quickly. And I don't think this has been circulated.
