Senator Dudycz, on Committee Amendment No. 1.

Thank you, Mr. President. Committee Amendment No. is technical in nature. It clarifies the intent of the bill - that taxes eollected in 1993 apply to 1992 levies in Cook Countyy just like the original legislation in Senate Bill 1378, Which contained language that spelled out taxes collected in 1992 would reflect levies imposed in 1991. This is clarifying language, and urge adoption of Committee Amendment No.

Senator Dudycz has moved the adoption of Committee Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 1474. Discussion? If not, a11 in favor, indicate by saying Aye. A11 opposed. The Ayes have it. The amendment's adopted. Are there further amendments?

No further committee amendments.

Are there amendments from the Floor?

Sepator Carroll offers Amendment No. 2.

A1l riqht. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's going to be a long afternoon. I would ask you please to keep the din down so that we can hear the amendments. Senator Carroll, on Amendment No.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. At the request of the Water Reclamation District, I have offered 8  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 Amendment No. 2, Which would exempt from the limitation any monies 1 necessary to finance construction projects that were started before October 1, 1991. The reason for this is that as they are doing the major water flood control projects, they cannot float the bonds - a11 puns intended - at the very beginning. They have to wait as they do it in segments. It would probably be impossible for them to, by referendum, get any bond issues approved by the public, because if an area like mine and Senator Dudycz's had already gotten their deep tunnel done, they would not vote for the construction going on further down the -- the North Branch or out through the rest of the Water Reclamation District project. So this would say that for those construction projects that Were started before October 1st, 1991 - not in the future - that the Limitation Act Would not apply.

Al1 right . Senator Carroll has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to Senate Bill 1474. Discussion? Senator Dudycz.

Yes , Mr. President. I 'd like to ask the sponsor a few questions .

Indicates he will yield, Senator Dudycz.

Senator Carroll, in your amendment, are you -- what are you trying to do? Are you trying to exempt a project such as the deep tunnel and other projects that are currently under construction?

Senator Carroll.

Yes .

Senator Dudycz . 9  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSCMBLY I REGULAR SESSTON ! SENATE TRANSCRIPT i 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992

Well, Senator, under the current language, as passed under Senate Bill 1378, we are already exempking those projects. Last year we passed Senate Bill 1378, and it excludes language -- or it haslanguageWhichexcludesthoseprojectssuchasthedeeptunnel ( l and any other project currently under construction by the Water j Reclamation District. I -- I think, Senator Carroll -- first of all, I1d like to ask you, Senator, if by some chance this amendment were to be adopted, would you intend to vote for the bill on 3rd Reading?

Senator Carroll.

I would give serious consideration to it.

Senator Dudycz.

I -- I take that as an absolute maybe. I think that Amendment No. 2, although I sympathize With -- or Floor Amendment No. 1, although I sympathize with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and the impact that this bill might have on some future construction, Amendment No. l would chip away at the intent of the original tax eap legislation, putting that five-percent cap on property tax increases. The Director of the Department of Revenue - - he is opposed to this amendment. The Governor is opposed to it. And I urge that this amendment be defeated.

A11 right. Further discussion on Amendment No. 27 Further discussion? Senator Carroll, you wlsh to close?

I just think that it's an error in logic not to exempt these. The Water Reclamation District, which runs throughout the County, 10  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19: 1992 has to do their projects in plecemeal. If we need these types of projects for the benefit of the homeowners throughout the County, we have to be able to finance them. As a practical matter, we know that, unfortunately, people who have had the benefit may not vote for any type of property tax extension limitation relief, by way of referendum, if their project was already done. So you're really harming those Who haven't enjoyed the benefits yet. Yet youdve got to look at it as a whole project. I think this would make the concept work better and be for the benefit of the homeowners, and I Would urge its adoption.

Senator Carroll has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 2 to Senate Bill 1474. Those in favor of the amendment wl11 vote Aye. Opposed will vote Nay. And the voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Have all voted Who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 25 Ayes, 27 Nays, none voting Present. The amendment fails. Further amendments?

Amendment No. 3 offered by Senator Dudycz.

Senator Dudycz, on Amendment No. 3.

Thank you, Mr. President. Amendment No. removes prior equalized assessed valuation. It places Cook County with the same restrictions that our Collar County neighbors have under the five-percent tax cap legislation passed last year.

Senator Dudycz has moved the adoptlon of Amendment No. to Senate Bill 1474. Discussion? Senator Demuzio.

Senator -- Senator Dudycz, as I thouqht I heard you say that 11  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 this Would freeze your -- your EAV at the previous year. Is that correct? And if soz what impact does that have, if any, to the School Aid Formula, in your judgment?

Senator Dudycz.

Well, Senator Demuzio, as you know, prior EAV prohibits taxing districts from eapturing growth in their tax base. What this amendment does is it removes that prohibition.

Senator Demuzio.

What impact does it have on the School Aid Formula, any?

Senator Dudycz.

Prior year EAV has not kicked in yet, Senator, so whak wedre doing with this anendment is taking out before it even kicks in.

Al1 right. Senator Dudycz has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3 to Senate Bill 1474. Discussion? not, all in favor, indicate by saying Aye. Al1 opposed. The Ayes have The amendment's adopted. Further amendments?

Senator Topinkae on Amendment No. 2.

Yes. Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, this amendment comes at the suggestion of the Revenue Committee Chairman, Senator Luft, and it says that the card would only be valid if the Department was not required to pay a discount fee as charged by the credit card issuer.

Senator Berman. '

Thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. Senate Amendment No. l provides that the parties in voir dire, which ks the questioning process of -- for jurors in civil matters, can submit questions to the court, but can a' lso ask questions of the prospective jurors. I move the adoption of Amendment No. 1.

Senator -- senator Berman, on behalf of Senator Lechowicz, has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 1510. ' Discussion? Senator Hawkinson. ; I : SENATOR HAWKINSON: I Thank you, Mr. President. Will sponsor yield for a question?

14  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 Indicates he will yield, Senator Hawkinson. SENATOR HAWKINSON: Senator, in -- in my part of the State for the past several years, there have been some cases where the court has decided to exclusively take over voir dire. This would prohibit this and guarantee that -- that the attorneys for both parkies could also participate, even if the judge wished to continue present practice? PRESIDENT ROCE: Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN: That's correct. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Hawkinson. I'm sorry. SENATOR HAWKINSON: I think you've -- this is an otherwise good bill, but I would stand in opposition to this amendment. I think that the present practice is working well, that the judges are exercising reasonable discretion in when they ought to take over voir dire and when it ought to be more expanslve, and I Would urge a No vote. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Thomas Dunn. SENATOR T. DUNN: Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I speak contrary to Senator Hawkinson. My experience in the court is that oftentimes judges will totally usurp the -- the judgment calls of attorneys who must use their sixth sense in questioning jurors and oftentimes are . limited by the number of written questions that can be asked and submitted by either attorney to the judge to be asked of the witnesses. I think we ought to go back to the old-fashioned way where the -- the lawyer can get a real sense of the person by 15  STATE OF ILLINOI: 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY . REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 @ looking him in the eye and asking questions of him or her. 1 ! I PRESIDENT ROCK: l Further discussion? Senator Geo-Karis. i SENATOR GEO-KARIS: I j Sponsor yield for a question? i 1 PRESIDENT ROCK: ! : ; Indicates he will yield, Senator Geo-Karis.

Under your amendment, are you saying then that in examining jurors that they have -- the attorneys have to put the questions in writinq? '

Senator Berman.

No. Let me just read it. It's three sentences. ''The parties shall be allowed to orally voir dire prospective jurors by putting to them questions that are appropriate regarding their qualifications to serve as jurors in the case at trial. The Court may acquaint jurors with the general duties and responsibilities of jurors.f' It does not require written questions.

At the present time - because I've had this experience - the court usually questions them -- the judge questions them himself, j and sometimes he lets us ask questions. Now does this preclude us from asking questions? That's what I want to know.

Senator Berman.

No. The only thing this does is that When you have a judge Who wants to prevent the lawyers from asking any questions, this Would prohibit that. It allows the lawyers to participate in their Case . 1 16  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992

Further discussion? Senator Barkhausen.

Mr. President and Members, I -- I don't have any strong I I feeling one Way or another about the amendment, but neither do I know a1l the pros and cons that might be at issue here. It's clear, however, that the -- that the amendment presents a fairly significant change. And seeing as though it never Went through a committee and -- and hasn't seen the full light of day and heard a11 the arguments, I suggest at this time that our opposition might be in order.

Further discussion? Senator Berman, you wish to close?

Roll call. Or...

Question is the adoption of Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 1510. Pardon me. Those in favor Will vote Aye. Opposed: vote Nay. And the voting's open. Have all voted who wish? Have a1l voted Who wish?

Senator Cullerton, on Committee Amendment No. 1.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This bill deals with an effort to encourage Braille to be taught to blind students in the schools throughout Illinois, and this amendment reflects an agreement reached with the State Board of Education. It would prohibit school districts from purchasin: textbooks from publishers which do not supply computer disk versions of any textbook to the State Board of Education for Braille reproduction purposes. That's an enforcement mechanism that we chose to employ. Requires individuals seeking a certificate to teach blind students to successfully complete a Braille examination before applying for such a certificate, and that would remove the provislons which require the State Board of Education to administer an examination - that was also agreed to - and also eliminates the commission that was established by *he bill. I would ask for adoption of the amendment.

Senator Cullerton has moved the adoption of Committee Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 1640. Discussion? If not, a11 in favor, indicate by saying Aye. A11 opposed. The Ayes have it.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Floor Amendment No. -- No. 2 -- Amendment No. 2 is -- does two things. First of all, it makes some technical changes. And secondly, it removes the property tax cap exemption for life safety bond levies and for the life safety property tax. This was an issue that was discussed and was a problem, so we decided to exempt that. And I would move for the adoption.

A question of the sponsor.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Berman.

In committee there Was an exemption for life safety levy from the tax cap. You are chanqing it. Could you give me the reason you are doin: that?

PRESIDING OPEICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.

Yes, Senator Berman, there Was -- there was opposition to that - substantial opposition to that. And if you fll remember the discussion that we had, I think both publicly in committee and privately: if that was going to affect the integrity of the bill, there Was a Willingness to take that exemption off. And I chose to do that. 26  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Berman.

Well, I guess I have this question: If a school district in the Collar Counties, Which is subject to a tax cap, has its roof caving in, then they can't issue the -- the levy for the Life Safety Code and their roof will cave in? And the -- that's just the way it'll be. Is that what can happen under this?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.

Yes, sir, if -- if they are at their limit, that the case. And I have, Senator Berman, explained that to those legislators who are affected and impacted by this -- by this exemption, and they understand that.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Berman.

Well, then, respectfully stand in opposition to this amendment. If life safety measures are goin: to be meaningful -- We elect local school boards to determine What is necessary to maintain a healthy environment for our students. And if this is necessary and happens to be above the cap that's been imposed for some other theoretical reason, think the health and safety of our children should take precedent. And I stand in opposition. I'd ask for a roll call on this amendment.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A1l right. Further discussion? Senator Philip.

Thank you, Mr. Presidenty Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. might remind Senator Berman that, number one, life safety has been so abused, and give you some examples in my county.

And secondly, might remind you, if there is a serious problemz you can put it on the ballot. And I Will guarantee you the people in my community will vote for something in regards to life safety . So I think that Senator Maitland is absolutely correct, and we ought to support

Will the sponsor yield for a question?

PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Geo-Karis.

Are you, by this amendment, exempting the requirement of caps on the schools on the basis of life safety?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.

I'm sorry, Senator Geo-Karis, I don't understand your question.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Geo-Karis.

By your amendment, are you exempting the requirement of caps, on the Collar Counties, on the schools -- school districts are you exempting them from the caps in order to satisfy the life safety bond needs? Is that it?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.

No.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 28  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 Senator Geo-Karis.

Then what does your amendment do? I'm rather confused as to what it does or doesn't do. Will you please explain what it does? Thank you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.

Senator Geo-Karis, as said in my -- my explanation of the amendment, it simply leaves life safety under the caps, as is everything else in -- in the school rates.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Geo-Karis.

Well, Kr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, support the amendment, because I knoW of abuses that have been done in the name of life safety, and that isn't helping the taxpayers any. I support the amendment.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Committee Amendment No. 2 responds to some concerns of the committee Members in allowing school districts to petition for State reimbursement of additional uncontrollable costs of unique transportation situations, such as special ed or exceptional travel distances. The State would reimburse a district one hundred percent for that portlon of the cost which exceeds three times the district's average pupil transportation costs. And I would recommend its adoption.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Any amendments from the Floor?

Senator Rock offers Amendment No. 3.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Rock.

Thank you: Mr. Presidenk, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1685 addresses a problem that, frankly, needs addressment and is almost long overdue, and that is the question of transportation reimbursement across this State to school districts. This amendment addresses only one specific provision of this bill, because the bill: as it currently resides before us# contains in there the authority by the Chicaqo Board of Education to levy a twenty-cent transportation tax. What that amounts to is a forty-plus-million-dollar property tax increase Without referendum. This amendment would take that authority out. Does not touch any other part of the bill. It merely removes ehe authority to impose this levy without a referendum . And I would urge the adoption of Amendment No. 3.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (VENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Holmberg.

I would like to oppose this amendment, and let me give you the reasons why. Every other unit district in the State has the authoràzation to levy this twenty-cent transportation tax . Only the City of Chicago has never been qiven that authority. So: do you know what they do? They borrow from the Educational Fund each year. They may choose to keep on doing that I think it's 34  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9z 1992 about forty million dollars - but I think they should have the option of having their own transportation levy, as do a11 of the other school districts in the State. And therefore, I Would i ! recommend that this particular amendment not be adopted. I PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) i 1 Further discussion? Senator de1 Valle. SENATOR dEL VALLE: Thank you, Mr. President. I also rise in opposition to this amendment. The Chicago Board of Education, as Senator Holmberg indicated, is the only large unit school district that does not have the authority to levy a tax for pupil transportation. They're currently spendin: over forty million dollars from the Education Fund to provide transportation. I'd like to see those dollars freed up so that we can deal with the deficit - the huge deficit - that we have in the Board of Education. So I rise in strong opposition to this amendment.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Cullerton.

Well, I would rise in support of the amendment. What people have to realize is that the City of Chicago, for the first time in history - for the first time in history - the entire City of Chicago was reassessed this year. What that means for the Chicago school system is that there will be an additional hundred and fifty million dollars that the school system Will realize as a result of increases in people's assessed valuation. It's one of the reasons why We're trying to increase the homeowner's exemption to give them some kind of a break. Now this proposal in this -- found in this bill would raise: apparently, the property taxes by another forty million. That's almost tWo hundred million dollars of new money in property taxes. That's crazy. That's not the way we ought to be going. So I would support the amendment, which 35  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION . SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 takes that provision out, and let the people of Chicago decide whether or not they want to raise their own property taxes themselves.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Rock may close.

Well, thank you , Mr. President, Ladëes and Gentlemen of the I h Senate. I again reiterate my strong support for Amendment No. 3, and would point out, it is true - Chicago does not have a specific levy for transportation, but it sure has enough other ones that the other school systems don't have. We have an eleven-cent textbook tax, eight-cent playground tax, twenty-six-cent teacher retirement tax, and a two-cent Agricultural Science School tax. ! This amendment would remove the authority to impose forty million dollarsf worth of new property taxes without referendum. Those of you who have been arguing successfully for no tax increase unless there 's a referendum - this is right up your alley. This is your amendment. And I would urge the adoption of Amendment No. 3.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Rock has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3. A1l in favor, indicate by saying Aye. Opposed, Nay. Al1 right. Senator Holmberg has requested a roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 36  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY I REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT : 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 Senator Keats.

This is a privatization issue. The basic thrust of the bil1... i i

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Could We -- excuse me, Senator Keats. Could we break up the - - Senator Dudycz, could We break up the caucus in front of Senator Keats, please? Senator Keats.

Ray? Ray. Ray. I'm sorry. This bill -- the basic bill is meritorious, and I am in support of the basic thrust of the bill. Something many of us in this Chamber on both sides of the aisle have discussed has been the concept of privatization. And what this amendment does is call for phased-in-over-time privatization of school busing services. Now in no way does this say we will not reimburse a hundred percent of the cost of privatized busing services, and it doesn't reduce it to zero for municipally owned or -- excuse me, school-district-owned immediately. It's phased in over time till 1998. But privatization was clearly less expensive than the school districts doing it on their own till a couple of years ago, When We changed the 1aW that allowed an additional freedom for what to count under the School Busing Code costs for local schools. Now the costs are similar. Privatization is a little lower, but candidly they're very similar at the moment because we've broadened the definition. This bill does tend to tighten up on some of that noW, and I think that's significant. Buk what this amendment does is it -- it will allow for privatization, which we think in the long run will be cheaper, because of the increased competition brought about. It's a classic chance for entrepreneurship. Several of the most successful private busing firms in the State are minorlty-owned, both African-American and Hispanic. And this is an area where they 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 would have a chance to contract, and we would be able to increase competition for both those communities and Statewide. This this would appear to be a cost decrease over time for the citizens of the State: and I would solicit your support.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) A11 right. Senator Keats has moved the adoption of Amendment No. 4. Discussion? Senator Holmberg.

I would oppose this amendment to the bill, as well. Let me give you a little bit of background. First of all, the amendment is opposed by the State Board of Education, as well as the Illinois Education Association. Al1 costs for transportation services provided by private contractors will be reimbursed under the recommended new funding formula. Also, Senator Keats, forty-two percent of the school districts would be denied access to State reimbursement by this amendment and - pay attention, everybody five hundred and sixty of your districts would be penalized by this amendment. There is no evidence that shows that school districts Which contract out are more efficient than those that provide their own transportation. Many districts that provide their own transportation are running very efficient operations, and that's what this formula will tend to reinforce. This amendmenk would penalize hundreds of districts for running these sound and efficient systemsy simply and only because they do not contract with an outside contractor. I urge you to vote against this amendment.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Further discussion? Senator Hudson.

Thank you, Mr. President. Well, I rise in support of this. think that, as presented by Senator Keats, we have a -- a reasoned, a reasonable, a cautious approach to a change that is 38  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 probably long overdue in our transportation system for our children. It would seem to me that the time has come When this could logically be given a chance. He isn't doing -- trying to do this overnight. It's phased in over a period of tlme. I think it's a reasonable concept. I do believe it would save moneyy and I think some of the things that have been mentioned by Senator Holmberq may turn out not to be true. I think that it can be done and still serve all of the children that need to be served. So I simply -- I support the amendment and would urge -- would urge your consideration for voting for it.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Maitland.

Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This is a terrible amendment. It really is, folks. It may -- it may work in some of the more urban parts of the State, but I want to tell you, you just don't go out and buy a bus contract service. You just don't do that. And the very lives and transportation of - - of literally thousands of public elementary and secondary kids are at stake here. Senator Holmber: put it well. We finally now have a kransportation formula that we dre goinq to be voting on in a couple of days that addresses the efficiency issue. It is carefully structured to reward those school districts who are doing an efficient job of runnin: their system. Letls allow this legislation to work. Let's don't foul it up With somethin: like this that's going 'to really penalize, if not destroy, transportation in Downstate Illinois. I strongly object to this amendment.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If noty Senator Keats may close.

If I were tryin: to penalize small children and take 39  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 reimbursements from all the school districts, I should be hung, drawn and quartered and left on the parking lot. The misrepresentation of this amendment is amazing. Clearly... i

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Pardon me, Senator Xeats. No demonstrations, please. Senator Keats.

Clearly, the opposition to this amendment never read the amendment. It in no Way refuses to reimburse people for busing. That is not what this amendment says. It does, over years, phase in the privatization of school busing. And to allege that socialism is somehow more cost-effectlve than private enterprise - well, you could make that argument probably in Eastern Europe, but you'd lose the argument. You could probably make that argument in Washington and they Would believe you. But in the real world - in the real world - it is not true. The whole amendment isn't even ten lines longr and it would continue one hundred percent of reimbursement for those whofve privatized their system over time. It allows -- you know, it allows the bidding. It allows for lower costs. It puts in a five-year phase-in. You have every . opportunity for school districts to examine it. But to somehow pretend that the qovernment will do things cheaper than the private sector is not a terribly realistic argument in this world today. I would appreciate your affirmative vote. And as -- I stress by saying this does not cut out the reimbursement for five hundred districts. I have a sense of humor, but not quite that good. If we were cut -- if we were going to stop reimbursement for five hundred districts, I wouldn't offer the amendment.

The bill Was 1et out of the Energy and Environment Committee with the understanding that it would not move forward unless there was agreement from a11 of the parties involved. I've discussed tbks with the utility compankes 47  STATE OF ILLINOIS 1 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY l REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 who are involved. They are ln agreement to support this bill, as amended With this amendment. What the amendment does is allows the Illinois Commerce Commission to consider rate structures that would encourage energy efficlency as a means of meeting energy demands as part of their least cost energy plan study. What we're trying to do is encourage utilities to - by Way of a rate differential - encourage consumers to use less energy and to have utilities get into the business of energy efficiency.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hudson.

Thank you, Mr. President. This amendment represents an agreement between the Department of Labor and interested parties. It is an attempt to get -- to take care of some of the questions that did arise. The amendment does the following: requires that an injury be serious before a ride can be impounded - this all has to do with -- with rides at fairs and carnivals: et eetera; it requires -- it permits the operator to replace the ride after an investigation; it requires that the investigation be completed within two days. This is an investigation of any defective equipment that results in the injury serious injury - of a person. It places limits on the cost of the impoundment and the investigation, and a ride has been moved before an injury has been reported, it allows the Department to inspect the ride, not impound it; it lowers the penalty from -- to a Class A misdemeanor from a felony; it repeals the Balloon Dart Game Permit Act.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hudson.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn.

I guess my question is, then, how does that assist the consumer, if -- if the -- if the operator has a failure and then 1 moves the ride, he prevents an impoundment and thus prevents a k further protection of the consumer. How -- how does that assist the consumer?

Thank you, Mr. President. The bill, as left committee, was a vehiele bill, and it now has been agreed to by al1 the interested parties. This bill is being proposed by the Department of Nuclear Safety, and the purpose of -- of it is to adjust the fees on the nuclear reactors to support the low-level radioactive waste disposal facility project. In Fiscal Year 1992 the fee on nuclear power reactors is l.8 million per reactor. Under current law, the fee should go to three hundred and forty thousand per reactor for Fiscal Year 1993. IDNS is seeking to raise the fee back to the Fiscal Year 1992 level of l.8 million per reactor, and the aqreement has been reached to do that, but they are qoing to do that on a fee -- a payment schedule of three years. So it will go up by two hundred and thirty thousand on August 1st of '92; three hundred and fifty-five thousand on October 1st7 and the hundred and fifty thousand on January 1st.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.

Thank you very much. This says that any municipallty with a 74  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 population of five hundred thousand or more Who is authorizing contracts involving over <sic> twenty-five thousand shall report at the end of the fiscal year to the General Assembly who got these no-bid contacts. And I Would request a roll call vote.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Cullerton.

Thank you. Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I rise in opposition to the amendment to -- to my bill that I'm the sponsor of. The bill -- the amendment apparently is aimed at the City of Chicago.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Pardon me, Senator Cullerton. Ladies and Gentlemen, I cannot hear the Gentleman. Senator Cullerton.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. The bill is designed to amend the Municipal Code as relates to the City of Chicaqo with regard to purchases. Right noW the limit is ten thousand dollars that can be made -- thak must be made by free and open competitive bidding. The bill would raise it to twenty-five thousand. What the Lady's amendment would do Would be to require a number and description of the contracts 1et under the twenty-five-thousand-dollar limit. It Would only apply to Chicago, and it would preempt home rule. Now, you should know that all contracts 1et by the City are a matter of public record, available for public inspection within the Cityls purchasing department. And it would seem to me that if there's any more public disclosure necessary, that it should be done internally within the City of Chicago. This -- the State does not do this. A11 of the other cities in the State would not have to do this. And I accepted Senator Etheredge's amendment: which dealt with the community college purchases, as a reasonable amendment, but this 75  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 is not one, and I would rise in opposition to the amendment.

Which is correct? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: I -- I yield to your superior knowledge, Senator. It is under twenty-five thousand.

Prankly, I was asked that, and if you would like to offer an amendment saying that this applies to any municipality, I would have no objection.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Luft.

Well, it's not my amendment, and I'm -- I'm just wondering Why you decided to pick on the City of Chicago, instead of making this applicable to a11 cities. I don't care if it's applicable to cities, townships, counties or whatever; I just don't know why we 're doing it for one city.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Fawell.

Because this bill only applies to the City of Chicago.

But to try to determine the language, and what youdre attempting to do here between the Chair and the Secretary is just not proper at this time. Senator Fawell.

... tmachine cutoffl..owe could always do this over in the House anyway, and I would give you my word that if this bill is passed in the -- in this form, I would ask the sponsor to do so .

Madam President and Members, Senate Bill 2134 is a measure that would provide immunity to attorneys who agree to settle a personal injury-related case with what are referred to as periodic payments, that are typically funded either by annuities or by treasury bonds.

M. Best and Company and at least one double A rating from one of the other three major rating agencies - Moody 's, Standard & Poorbs, and Duff & Phelps - and in addition would require that the life insurer providing the annuity have at least -- be ranked a Size X <sic> (IX) in adjusted policyholdersî surplusy or better.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Barkhausen, Amendment No. 1.

Madam Presidente Amendment No. 1, offered by Senator Dunn and myself, deletes the original bill and substitutes in its place a Limited Liability Company Act. We had started to have some discussion of this amendment the other day - and so to continue, or to repeat myself slightly - what a limited liability company would be is a -- partially a corporation and partially a partnership. It could have certain characteristics that have traditionally been characteristics of corporations - most particularly, the limitation of liability of shareholders to the amount of their investment, but at the same time could, according to the Internal Revenue Service, receive the treatment that partners -- investors in partnerships receive - that is the pass-through of profits to the individual investors. Nine other states have already taken this step. There is a considerable interest in the possibility of creating these entities on the part of businesses in this State, and those who represent them . And I move its adoption. 89  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Leqislative Day May 19, 1992 PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Barkhausen has moved the adoption of Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 2163.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Barkhausen, Amendment No. 1.

Thank you, Madam President. Amendment No. 1 is to a bill that comes to us from the Secretary of State's Office to make uniform a step that we took a few years ago raising our drinking age, for various purposes, back up to twenty-one. The exception has still been that -- that the consumption of alcohol by persons within a residence has, in some cases, not not been at the age, or limited to -- to those who are twenty-one. And so what this amendment does is to create a couple of exceptions to this step that We 're takipg - number one, if the person occupying the residence is a parent or legal guardian of a person under the age of twenty-one and allows the possession or consumption of alcohol in moderate amounts by his child or ward. And secondly, if the parent or legal guardian of a person under twenty-one is present and gives permission, not necessarily in their own residenee, but present and gives permission to the occupant of another residence for the possession or consumption of alcohol in moderate amounts by his child or ward, that too would be permissible under the language of this amendment.

Amendment No. 2 offered by Senator Woodyard.

Senator Woodyard, on Amendment No. 2.

Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senake. This amendment - Floor amendment - contains not only language that was requested by my home county supervisor of assessments, but some other changes requested by the Department of Revenue. Last week we adopted an amendment to this bill that did contain one portion of objectionable language. Certainly, I appreciate Senator 97  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 i Hawkinson bringing that to my attention. That language has been removed. So if you'll bear with me just a moment, 1'11 -- 1111 run through what -- what this amendment does at this time. The first portion of this contakns the same language that deals with my home county that we had last week. It allows a county board that would have adopted the four assessing districts to continue to adopt those assessing districts after the January 1st, 1990 deadline. This extends that deadline for them to do a resolution to January l of 192. The second portion of this would require any boundary changes dealing with county recorders - those boundary changes would have to be recorded with the county recorder. Presently, county clerks do receive this information, but it's a little gray, evidentlyy as to whether county recorders have to or not. This was also requested by the Department of Revenue. The third area, where we had the overlap taxinq districts, particularly in Will and Cook Counties, due to the chanqes that we made in 1378 last year - there was a provision that mandated the Department of Revenue to be the arbitrator, evidently, in the apportionment of those taxing districts. This takes it back to making it optional agaln. The fourth thing would require -- well actuallyy wefre de-mandating something with this fourth area, because it would elimlnate the need for the county clerk to certify and send a copy of the county collector's bond to the Department, Which they never use anyway. The fifth thing is rather redundant, from the standpoint that it changes the levy certification date of road districts, and these were a1l changed under 1378 lasE year. So Ehat, basically, is what the amendment does. I don't know of any objection or any opposition to this amendment.

Thank you very much. I have no problem With What you're doing, Senator. But I did get a -- a correspondence from my -- one of my township supervisorsr Who said when we changed the levy date of the road commissionery that ended up that there had to be almost a special meeting of the -- town meeting to verify the authorization of the levy of the township supervisor. And he Was wondering if, by any chancez We could do it the sane day.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell -- Senator, are you asking a question? Senator Madigan. Senator Woodyard. I'm sorry.

You know, right now , I 've goe a son that's thirty-eight that T'm sending to collegee but that's because I Want to. His father certainly has nothing to do with it. Are we talking basically about having, you know , college-age children being taken care of this way? I have no problem with tbat; I do have a problem forever and a day. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN: Well, none of us have a crystal ballz and -- and this bill does not restrict the age of the -- of the child, and I use ''child'' meaning the offspring. It could be an adult offspring. But keep in mind that there are going to be at least two parties, if not more, to this petition. 0ne might be the -- the offspring that wants to go to college. The second is the executor of the estate or the administrator of the estate. The third might be other heirs. It's up -- going to be up to the court to determine whether, for example, a forty-year-old offspring suddenly decides khat after thirty years - he never decided to go to eollege - now he Wants to . I don't think that a court is going to allow that. There Would be very strong objections. This allows some flexibility, but it eertainly isn't a mandate. I think it's a reasonable approach where you have a deceased parent: there is an estate, an offspring wants to go to college. Let somebody decide j l10 ! k  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 1 if that offspring can or cannot have the resources to go to college.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This bill affects the water -- Metropolltan Water Reclamation District Act, and enables the District to take more effective action against industrial polluters by providing on-site personal service of cease and desist orders, the imposition of fines by the Board of Commissioners after a full hearing, and procedural due process safeguards for alleged violators. The Water Reclamation District has enacted an ordinance which is designed to regulate the types of industrial -- the use -- water, after it's been used for industrial purposes, that may be discharged into the sewers. And these are treated at the District's plants and then discharged into the Chicago Sanitary and Shlp Canal. So that -- the U.S. EPA has indicated that the -- the effectiveness of khe District's enforcements of its ordinance is suspect, and this bill is in response to that. It's required the District to obtain statutory authority to allow the Board of Commissioners to impose the fines, and the bill allows the Board to order a party who has been found, after a full hearing, to have violated the ordinance, ko pay a fine which may not be less than a hundred dollars nor more that two thousand dollars per day of violation. We did amend the bill at the request of some industry representatives, and I Would ask 112  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 for an Aye vote. i

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Keats. SENATOR KEATS: ! In looking at the analysis, I may be misunderstanding. You i said -- or excuse me. Question of the sponsor. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) : Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Keats. l

You're saying they cannot impose the fine until they have a hearing, but the hearing appears to be in front of the Water Reclamation District. In other words, the people imposing the fine are also the judjee jury, and prosecutor. Am I misreading something?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.

If you look at page 5 of the amendment, what happens is that there would be a hearing officer that would take testimony and make a decision. The Board then votes to affirm or not affirm the hearing officer's decision. Then you have al1 the rights of administrative review. So the industrial entity can then take it i to court if they disagree. It's a typical administrative review. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I 1 Further discussion? Senator Fawell.

This was heard in -- in the Local Government Committee. For those on this side of *he aisleg if you will look on -- on the second page, with the amendment you will see this is an agreed amendment between the Illinois Manufacturers' Association and -- and the Water Reclamation Council.

SENATOR JONES: Yeah. Thank you, Madam President. Senate Bill 1927 extends the bonding authority for the Metropolitan Reclamation District ko the year 2010. The purpose of this is to provide long-term, stable source of funding for major capital projects which provide essential flood and pollution control services for the entire Cook County area. These projects include the Deep Tunnel, Reservoir, Chicago Underflow Program, and also provides flood relief: including flood retention reservoirs in Suburban Cook County. To accomplish these goals, the District would need an additional four hundred and fifty million dollars in bonds between 1992 and 1996. And the District informs me it is very crucial that the District maintain, if possible, a -- a good bond rating. This way they can save taxpayers millions of dollars, and at the same time provide the necessary flood control services throughout Cook Countyy and I ask for a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Fawell. SENATOR FAWELL: Would the sponsor yield for a question? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield. SENATOR FAWELL: Senator Jones, could you tell me - are these referendum or nonreferendum bonds? ll7 l  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY , REGULAR sEssION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SZNATOR COLLINS) Senator Jones.

They have always been nonreferendum bonds; and in further response to your question, if you are planning long-range projects, bond ratin: authorities, in order to keep that qood rating, have to know Whether or not those dollars are going to be there. And that's the reason why they have always been nonreferendum. :

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.

Senator Jones, isn't it true that up until this year wefve always had five-year extensions, rather than this time to the year 20102

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jones.

Yes, that is true. But the reason why the Authority is asking for this is because the longer the rating -- the lonqer the kime, the better raking we get for bonds, which in turn mean less interest that We pay, and Which in turn means lower taxes for the taxpayers of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation Districtr which is the entire Cook County area.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SZNATOR COLLINS) Senator Fawell.

Welle to the bill: I just want everybody to take a good look at this. Do as you want, but these are nonreferendum bonds which will be extended till the year 2010. I'm not sure we really want to go this route.

Will the sponsor yield for a question?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he Will yield.

Senator Jones, are these examples of what this bill would be used for, or are there other intended capital projects that would fall under this?

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jones.

These examples that I gave you are the intended purposes of the bill. There aren'k any -- they didn't inform me of any other capital projects. And to elaborate even furthery Senator Palmer, when the floods hit in the spring and hit suburban area, you talk about the Deep Tunnel, they have to plan long-range. And when you plan lonq-range, the bond rating authorities give you a good rating, which means less interest that you pay, which in turn saves the taxpayers dollars. That's the reason why they want this authority now, so they can continue to plan long-range on these projects.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Jones, to close.

I just ask for a favorable vote on this bill. It takes care of al1 the Cook County area. It deserves our vote because it saves the taxpayers money, and we should be votin: Yea on this bill.

Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1988 does two things. The first thing addresses the shortfall that many school districts are experiencing because -- in the delay of the State aid June double payment. And it allows the issuance of State aid anticipakion certificates for a hundred percent of the State aid payment, instead of the present cap of seventy-five percent, and allows it ko be outstanding for thirteen months, instead of -- as of August 1st. The second part of the bill addresses the technical problems confronting the three school districts up in Highland Park with their merger. It's a bill that will allow the merged district to i operate, pending the election of the -- technlcal election of the 12l  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 new school board.

Question of the sponsor, please.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield.

I've been contacted by several of my superintendents concerning the ability of either anticipation borrowing, or borrowing in general: and they claim that this will not help them as far as the watch list is concerned, because they will be still in the financial need - or I'm not sure what the -- the word is I'm looking for here - but this will not help them if they are on the -- on the financial watch list, or on the Watch list now With the State Board of Education. Are you familiar with that issuez Senator?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Berman.

No: and this bill was not intended to address that, so I'm -- I'm not able to give you a response to that concern.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Watson.

i : Well, what wedre going to allow khe districts to do - we either delayed or lost payment, whichever -- whomever you're talking to - we are going to noW allow them to anticipate not eighty-five percent, but a hundred percent of that lost payment during this particular fiscal year? 122  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Berman.

The -- it's -- the present law says seventy-five percent for the State aid anticipation borrowing. Wedre changing that to a hundred percent. The eighty-five percent is a continued cap regarding the district's total tax levy. What wedve -- what we're doing is allowing State aid anticipation notes borrowing to cover the double June payment.

Thank you, Madam President. This is the Secretary of State's bill that creates the Evidence Fund in the Secretary of State's Office as a repository for any proceeds received by the Secretary l30  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 from partickpation in a State or federal drug Eorfeiture action. I As of now, the Secretary of State has assisted in some federal investigations involving title to motor vehicles and others. Because of the absence of this fund, they dve had to refuse forty-one thousand in -- in proceeds that the State would have otherwise been entitled to. This does not in any way change the formula for the Forfeiture Act. It passed out of committee unanimously. The Secretary is committed, because apparently, since committee, there has been some expressed concern about the potential uses for this fund, and the Secretary has made the commitment, which I will second, that if there's a need to tighten up the language for the future uses of this fund, that can be done in the House and will be. I would be happy to answer any questtons, and move for the passage of Senate Bi1l'2165.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) senator Maitland.

: 131  I STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9# 1992 Thank you very much, Madam President. Senate Bill 2217 Would allow regional superintendents to invest funds in any instrument authorized for custodians of public funds by the Public Funds Investments Act. This bill purports to provide a leveler playing field for investments. It passed out of committee on the Agreed Bill List. I -- I know of no opposition, and I would appreciate your support.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Discussion? If not, the question -- if not, the question is, shall Senate Bill 2217 pass. Senator -- Senator Holmberg, now your light is on. Senator Holmberg.

Yes, I have some serious questions about this. In fact, I had i an amendment on the Recall List earlier, and Senator Maitland was off the Floor. There are, I think, some serious questions about how these various funds are investment -- are invested. If I could ask the sponsor a question.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield.

What investment fund, Senator Maitland, does this bill enable regional superintendents to invest in, and what organizations created this fund?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland.

Thank you very much, Madam President and Members of the Body. This bill originated With the Illinois School District Liquid Asset Fund, and it is -- it is a part of the Illinois Association i ! I of School Boards. And -- and -- and, Senator, if I might say, I -- I saw that my -- that that bill Was on the Recall List, and -- and I checkedy and I understood that people had talked to you and 132  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION j SENATE TRANSCRIPT I i 106th Legislative Day May 19, l992 I i i ! your problem had been resolved. And I apologize if that was not ( ! i PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. j ! SENATOR HOLMBERG: Could you tell me if the Illinois Association of School Boards benefits monetarily from investments in the fund? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Thank you -- thank you, Madam President. The -- the investors of the funds and the funds will -- will benefit because of better competition, and I think that's the purport of the bill, Senator. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: I'm not sure you answered my question. Does IASB itself benefit from this? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator, are you asking me if -- if the Illinois Association of School Boards benefits financially? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: Yes. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: I've got to answer you honestly, Senator, and say that I -- I don't think so. I think their concern is that -- that -- that l33 k  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 funds - school funds - are invested in a -- in an instrument that will provide them good competition to assure the best possible investment, the best possible interest, and therefore accrue those dollars back to school district. I think that's the purport of the bill. PRESIDiNG OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: Also, does a regional superintendent need to receive the permission of a school district before he invests the district's money in this fund, and is there any restriction on how long he can keep the money in that fund? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator, I -- I think it's probably no different than -- than the instruments that they noW invest the money in. I -- I'm assuming that they -- that they -- they have the authority to invest these funds into an instrument that is approved -- that is approved and -- and do that in the spirit of good investment, and therefore good return on that investment. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG : And then if you could tell me who gets the interest that is earned on these funds. You knowz I -- I think there's some real questions about, you know, what happens to a11 this money. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator, that works no different than the instruments that they invest the money in alreédy. This is just another instrument l34 k  STATE OF ILLINOIS i 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9g 1992 that will be approved by the fund, that will increase the eompetition to accrue more benefits to the school districts who 1 have entrusted the funds with the regional superintendent investing those funds. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg. SENATOR HOLMBERG: I still have some -- some real misçivinqs about proceeding with this bill the way it is, and Ilm going to have to oppose it. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Jacobs. l SENATOR JACOBS: ' Would the sponsor yield for a question, please? I PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield. SENATOR JACOBS: Senator, are we -- you know: I get a little nervous, I guess, whenever we look at different types of -- of public entities I commingling their money. And as I see this, and as I read our analysis, are we saying that the educational facilities and the -- the county sups and the service centers are going to be able to commingle their money with townships? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland. SENATOR MAITLAND: Senator, I can't -- I can't answer that question. I don't know. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Our analysis seems to indicate that. I don't know if that's so either, Senator, but I would -- 1111 believe the -- the l35 i  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 analysis for the moment. I think the idea has some merit, but I don't know if we -- we maybe are going too far on some of these things. And I understand the need to get the best interestr and I understand all of those good things. But I sometimes have a dkffieulty, especially wbenever we cross-integrate dollars, that may be from from a a municipality form of government -- municipality form of government versus an educational form, and I have some problems with that...

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Topinka.

Yes, Madam Presldent. A question of the sponsor, if I may.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield.

Is it my understanding - and -- and I personally kind of like what youdre doing here - but is my understanding that the regional superintendent would -- would be allowed to -- to invest these funds collectively, prior to apportioning funds due the county from the State School Fund?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland.

It's my understanding that is correct.

Okay. Then -- then what would...

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Topinka. Senator Topinka.

.. . not -- or -- regional superintendents are created equallyy as we know in Cook County, where wedve had a real pip of one over the years; and although he is scheduled for elimination, the deed l36  STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REUULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 is not yet done. What is to prevent him from now holding onto these funds, which he would now have in a lump sum, pre-apportionment, before he's passed them out to anybody else, to just hold them up and collect the interest? mean, we -- is there a -- what would prevent that?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Maitland.

Senator, I've read from -- from the same analysis that you have, and I I I can't answer that that question precisely, and I know the concern that you have. I guess I can't give you a direct answer. would assume that that wouldn't happen, but I don't know the mechanics of what they -- what they are allowed and are not allowed to do.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Keats.

To the sponsor: not really a question. I think we're all doing the same thing. We're a1l reading an analysis, and I have to say your explanation of the bill is merikorious. On the analysis, this looks like a real dog. Maybe we should take a little time to look this over. I appreciate what youdre saying, but based on this analysis, this bill, between Superintendent Martwick and the various other provisions that were raised by our friends on the other side of the aisle - I'd like to help you - but it would be hard to vote for a bill with -- with the analysis we have as *e read this, partieularly with the potential Cook County problems.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, thank you, Madam President. You know, I don 't l37  STATE OF ILLINOIS . 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 understand the opposition on this bill. Now if any of you have served on the Audit Commission, there is a definition of public funds. All this says is# you invest public funds in the same manner you invest other public funds. So what's so onerous about that? And, Keatsz I'm qlad you don't work for the Humane Society, if you can't tell the difference between a dog and a good pet.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Further discussion? Senator Maitland, to close.

Thank you very much. Madam President and Members of the Senate, I -- I -- what we are doing here is -- is permitting one more fund to be an instrument into which investment can be made. The benefits -- the benefactors are going to be the school districts of this State because of the increased competition. The questions that have arisen, I believe, could be directed to any of k those instruments that are now being used. The issue is the same. This is a -- this is an issue, I think, that's critically important to school districts that are hard pressed for funds, and I think it's -- it's an issue that's Worthy of your support, and I I i would appreciate a Yes vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) The question is, shall Senate Bill 2217 pass. Those in favor I will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have a11 voted who wish? Have al1 voted Who Wish?

No question about it. Ladies and Gentlemen, with leave of the Body, we'll go back to page 19, Senate Bills 3rd Reading. On that Order is Senate Bill 2239. Read the bill, Madam Secretary, please.

Senate Bill 2239. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.

Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO : I Thank you, Mr....tmachine cutoffl...Gentlemen of the Senate. This bi1l obviously is not new to anybody in khis Body for the i i last couple of years. It is a bill that's practically identical ! to the one we have passed two years in a row. It would, in fact, expand the Build Illinois Program and provide monies for funding for a two-hundred-and-fifty-million-dollar sewer and water project, and a hundred million dollars out of the School District Construction Fund. As you well know, under the Build Illinois Program, we dedicated a1l of our sales tax revenues, during that reform bill of a couple of years ago, to these projects, and this past year that fund - the Purposes Fund - had been receiving a surplus. I think last year's estimate Was somewhere around 139  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 thirty-four million dollars. A group of us went over and talked to the Governor last year about using the thirty-four million dollars to expend extend this Purposes Fund to the Build Illinois projects for these hundred and sixty-seven to two hundred communities around Illinois that need the sewer and watery and We felt that since it was dedicated to that project, that the money ought to stay in that -- in that particular fund. Unfortunately for use he wanted to use that money to balance the budget, and as a consequencez the money was used for other purposes. What I'm attempting to do here is simply not to give up. If we don't appropriate money out of the Purposes Pund it looks unlikely that *e may it would, in fact, say to the world that we are still interested in using our surplus money that went into that fund to -- to create the sewer and water projects, that we still have a concern about the infrastructure in Illinois. And as a consequence, I would ask for your support today to -- to pass Senate Bill 2239 in that vein.

A11 right. The Gentleman has moved passage of Senate Bill 2239. Is there any discussion? If noty the question is, shall Senate Bill 2239 pass. Those in favor, vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. And the voting 's open. A1l voted who wish? Al1 voted Who wish? Have a11 voted who Wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 49 Ayes, no Nays, none voting Present. Senate Bill 2239, having received the required constitutional'majorityz is declared passed. A1l right. Ladies and Gentlemenz we have two more items of business. There's been a request to go to the Order of Conference Committee Reports. Page 36. The Chair is informed that copies of the Conference Committee Report have again been distributed . It is on House Bill 1528. And then there's been a request to go to page 38 on the Calendar on the Order of Motions in Writing. Senators Luft and Dudycz and Fawell have Motions in 140  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9, 1992 Writing that have been filed. Senator Berman has also a Motion in Writinq that has just been filed. So we'll do the Conference Committee Report and then move to Motions, and that will effectively conclude our business for today. Senator Keats, for I what purpose do you arise? SENATOR KEATS: You mentioned the conference committee reports, and Wedre al1 sitting here over -- over here saying, ''What conference committee reports?'' None of us are finding it. Maybe it's here and wedre just not seeing it. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Woodyard just found his. It's been distributed three or four times. SENATOR KEATS: Oh, it's not on a pink form. I1m sorry, it's not on a pink form . Wedre al1 looking for a pink form . PRESIDENT R0CX: I gotcha. Okay. All right. Madam Secretary, with leave of the Body, we'll move to page 36 on the Calendar. On the Order of Conference Committee Reports, there 's a report with respect to House Bill 1528, Madam Secretary. SECRETARY HAWKER: First Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1528. PRESIDENT ROCK: Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCHZ Thank you, Mr. President. Under the Conference Committee Report, the Senate recedes from Senate Amendment No . 1, and this deletes a11 of that amendment and the bill. What it does do in its new form is amend the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act concerning appointments, and amends the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act concerning salary Withholding for the l4l j '  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT l06tb Legislative Day May l9, 1992 Home Program . In particular, What it does is allows the Mccormick Place Advisory Board to have the members appointed -- to be appointed by the Authority and to be residents of the area. It takes away the authority from the Speaker of the House, who believes he has a conflict. In addition, it allows for deduction from payroll for State employees to get into the Home OWnership Made Easy Act. I'd be glad to try to answer any questions.

Any discussion? If not, the question isr shall the Senate adopt the Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1528. I'm sorry, Senator Keats.

Not giving the sponsor a hard time, but there are at least four people who have not signed this report. Any of them who hasn't signed it# could you tell us why? Is there a problem that we're missing?

Senator Welch.

I haven't heard of any objection. My understanding was that this report was pretty well agreed to by the time it -- it passed. It paEsed the House unantmously, I believe.

A11 right. Senator Madigan.

Thank you, Mr. President. To respond to that question, I had never been asked to sign that Conference Committee Report. Had I been asked, I donlt see any problem with this matter.

Al1 right. Question is, shall the Senate adopt the Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1528. Those in favor Will vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. And the voting's open. A11 voted who l42  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May 19, 1992 wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish?

The Senate does adopt the Conference Committee Report on House Bill 1528, and the bill, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. All right. Madam Secretary, With leave of the Body, wedll move then to page 38. 38 on the Calendar. Tbere are three Motions in Writing and a fourth has just been filed by Senator Berman. So we will deal with 'those motions and that will conclude our business. Page 38 on the Calendar. There 's a Motion in Writing with respect to Senate Bill 1556. Madam Secretary, read the motion, please.

I move to discharge the Committee on Revenue from further I consideration of Senate Bill 1556, and that the bill be placed on the Calendar on the Order of 2nd Reading. Filed by Senator Luft.

Senator Luft.

Thank you, Mr. President. Senate Bill 1556 was never acted upon in the Revenue Committee. The subject matter of the bill is local mandates or the State mandates on local governments. We decided during the hearings that we would proceed not with the bill, but with the two constitutional amendments that were presented - one by Senator Watson that failed, and one presented by me that failed miserably. At this time, I Would ask that Senate Bill 1556 be discharged and put on the Order of 2nd Readingg so we could attempt, in some way or manner, to deal with the subject matter of mandates and What We're doing to local governments.

We want to move 146  STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY I REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 106th Legislative Day May l9: 1992 this along, so that both sides have their input.

Al1 in favor of that motion, indicate i by saying Aye. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Senator Donahue.

tmachine cutoffl...Mr. President, but I did have my light . o. j on when senator Berman was speaking, so -- I rise to object to this. The three bills that were voted on previously are not under the deadline that we have for Friday. This is a resolution, and We believe very strongly that the committee proeess is there in i order to discuss this. We moved the amendment through without any committee action, and we think that this is something that -- no - was not -- so I -- I just think We can meet next week With Exec and we can do it.
