PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZ10 ) Senator Woodyard .
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate . Senate Joint Resolution l36 really started, I guess, back last November or December , in which we convened a meeting at the University of Illinois to discuss with the National Hea1th Institute the possibility of putting a national red meat institute or center at the University of Illinois. Evidently. USDA and FDA have -- are movinq towards labelinq of red meat products, and certainly a 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1 REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! 1 i 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 i I research and marketing university, such as the University of Illinois, would be the ideal site for that national institute. Quite frankly, I would much rather have it there than the E ( University of Iowa, which is also being considered. This ' i resolution encourages Congress to appoint the University of I I I Illinois as the national meat center, and I would urge its ! . adoption.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Brookins.
i Thank you . Will the sponsor yield for a questlon? i
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield . Senator Brookins.
At this institute, will they go into the hormones and et cetera thak is used in the growing of beef and et cetera, and will that be made public?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard .
Senator Brookins, I really don't know on -- on any additives in meat products , but I do know that discussions between USDA and FDA have been going on for the last three years . It 's my understanding they have agreed that a1l red meat Will be labeled as to cholesterol# protein and contents like that. I -- I really can'* answer whether the labeling would also require, as you indicated , hormone or other types of feed additives.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZ10) Senator Brookins . Further discussion? If not, Senator Woodyard has moved the adoption of Senate Joint Resolution l36 . All in favor will indicate by saying Aye .

This is the resolution that rejects the increases that were outlined earlier, and I would suggest that we need to send a message to the citizens during this period of sacrifice. That message is that the sacrifice will apply across the board, that we will demand as much as ourselves as we will of the bureaucrats, and that we will not place the less privileged in ! I front of either one of us. I urge an Aye vote to reject this pay raise. ï PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) j Is there discussion? Senator Geo-Karis.
Would the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Geo-Karis. i I SENATOR GEO-KARIS: j ! 1 Senator, I Want to be darn sure that When I vote on this - ! because I am goin: to vote to disapprove - when you say an Aye I vote -- you know, it's perceived back home when we vote Aye that wedre supporting the pay raise. Do I understand correctly that if I vote Aye on your resolution we are therefore disapproving of this pay raise?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn.
Yes, Ma dam. 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENEQAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 I
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Geo-karis.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I concur with Senator Dunn. Now is not the time to have any pay raises, when we know that we have less fortunate people in our constituency that needs more help than we do. And that's the Way I feel.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Donahue.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I have a question of the sponsor, please.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Donahue.
In committee we had, on the testimony in regard to this, that there was potential of some division of the question. When we vote Yes on this resolution, are we rejecting the entire report that affects not only legislators, but judges and everyone? Are We rejecting the entire report?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dunn.
Yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) senator Donahue.
In -- is there any way that by -- by doing this, then, there won 't be potential raises in other areas affecting other people by other means, by rejecting of this report?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 Senator Dunn.
That's not my intent. That may be someone else's intent, but my intent is that there be no raises.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- further discussion? Senator Brookins.
Thank you. Let me just say to the Body that I have never had a pay raise since I've been a Member of the Senate, Which is six years. It seems that every time the vote was taken, that I had either been elected or not running for election. And by no means would I be able to benefit one way or another from this pay raise that is being proposedz or was proposed, by a committee that was established to -- to give pay raises to the Senate and Representatives and officials of the State of Illinois. But I think that Wedre doing our public and our elected -- our constituents a disservice when we reject, out of hand, something which is -- has been studied, which would be good for the State of Illinois, meanàng that we would attract the type of legkslators and the type of people that would be dedicated to do the service of the State of Illinois. I think it's a dumb move on the part of you, as a Body, to reject something which has been studied over the years. I think that it is kind of misleading into the public and hypocritical that youdre doing this or taking this type of action, though you feel that your conEtktuents do not understand or theylre too stupid to understand what youdre attempting to do, because it's an election year. So I just wanted to make them remarks to you. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there further discussion? If not, Senator Dunn may close.
Thank youz Mr. President. Again, IId like to reiterate that a 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ! ! 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 I Yes vote will reject this year's Compensation Review Board's I ! recommendation. I urqe an Aye vote to do so. I PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) l i i A11 right. Youlve heard the explanation by Senator Dunn.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you. Mr. President. Senate Joint Resolution l42 directs IDOT to conduct a feasibility study of a11 alternative corridors for a direct route from the Peoria Tri-county Area to the Chicago Metropolitan Area. There is a real possibility that Congress, in the discretionary federal highway dollars, will have access to build such a road from the Tri-county Area, but we need to have a feasibility study first. There is a million and a half in the Governor's five-year plan for this study, and I would ask for approval of this Senate Joint Resolution 142.

Seems that certainly with less and less funds for agricultural and independent research, that the Federal Congress is finally looking at an appropriation that would help maximize the -- this consortium in their research farms.

SENATOR TOPINKA: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, this resolution asks the Governor aKd the Statefs Congressional Delegation to oppose the proposed reductions of the Illinois National Guard and Reserve Units and any similar proposals in the future, on the basis that indeed it costs less to keep these kind of part-time units in place than it does, you know, for a 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 full-time military. So if cuts are to be made, maybe look there first. I think our people have proven that if they 're called into action in such melees as Desert Storm, they are quite equipped to do this, even when they come from part-time training. Also, by virtue of their being here, they do manage to flush out federal funding, which we would lose in any other way, and I think with the closing of Chanute Air Force Base and Fork Sheridanz we've already taken our fair share. So that is the resolution. I would seek your favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? If not, the question is# shall Senate Joint Resolution 147 pass. A11 in favor Will indicate by saying Aye. Opposed, Nay. The Ayes have it. Senate Joint Resolution l47 is adopted. Senate Joint Resolution 148, Madam Secretary.
Senate Joint Resolution 148.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. This is a resolution that is similar - maybe identical - to one that Senator DeAngelis passed about seven years ago, which certainly did not make it out of the -- out of the House. But does urge the General Assembly to consider - at least consider - changing the rules that would have us -- have a Session ending date of May 1st. And it does so by putting trigger dates on the introduction of bills and deadline for getting bills out of committee. I think wefve discussed this for quite a number of years, of changing the Session date to a different date than June 30th. And this resolution is certainly asking the General Assembly to consider adopting rules to change the Session date.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 15 STATE OP ILLINOIS 1 87th GENEKAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 Is there discussion? Senator Rock.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I rise in opposition to Senate Joint Resolution 148. I frankly just feel that it's probably not going anywhere anyway. But if the Members would take the time ko read it# as I suppose -- as I sympathetic as I am to the length of time and the amount of time that the General Assembly spends on the people's business, this schedule, as presented, calling for deadlines to be established, simply is unworkable. Remember, if you willr please, that we constitutionally and statutorily call for the Governor to make budget recommendations to the people of Illknois and us in a Joint Session on the first Wednesday of Mareh, and that literally is when the Session begins, for all practical purposes, because the entire -- any program is driven by the budget and budget considerations. Under this proposed set of deadlines, you simply wouldn't have enough time to thoroughly analyze, scrutinize and reorder the prioritkes in a tWenty-six-billkon-dollar annual expenditure. I suppose it sounds good, but the fact is, it's unworkable, and I intend to vote No.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Cullerton.
Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Cullerton.
What's wrong with the Federal Government encouraging the states to adopt laws that save money and save livesz Senator?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Well, Senator Cullerton, it's a constitutional right of each state, it's my understanding, to govern their own motor vehicle safety.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.
Well, youlve raised a very interesting point: Senator. It's too late; the Federal Government has acted. And they -- it's very tnteresting: and I think the public should know what the Federal Government has done. Whether you like it or not, they have passed a 1aW that will start -- go into effect next October, Where the State of Illinois, unless we pass a motorcycle helmet lawr will 1 19 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 lose: for road construction, millions of dollars. In fact, the Illinois Road Contractors were initially unaware of this, but it goes into effect. I think it's about five million dollars the first year; nine million dollars thereafter. In addition, there's about seven hundred -- almost eight hundred thousand dollars that we can obtain from the Pederal Government if We pass the law, in addition, of course, to saving lives and money. So it's too late to pass such a resolution, even if you think that the Federal Government shouldn't be involved. There's plenty of other instances where the Federal Government has done this. As a matter of fact, back in 1969 we passed a motorcycle helmet laW as a result of federal action. We did the same thing in other safety areas, and I think this is a very bad resolution and a needless resolution to vote on and vote for. Urge a No vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Brookins.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he Will yield. Senator Brookins.
Thank you. Some time ago we had a motorcycle bill here before the Senate and -- in committee. Can I ask if you had occasion to vote on that, and how did you vote on it? Is that fair?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woodyard.
Well, I don't recall voting on any motorcycle helmet bill this year, and I don't think I have. Certainly last year - yes; I opposed that. That's one of the reasons for this -- for this resolution. 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brookins.
Thank you. To the bill -- to the resolution: So in other words, you have proposed and you are in favor of the State of Illinois losing money and has proposed to lose money, and now we want to go back, after hindsight, and say to the Federal Government, ''Repeal the laws that you have passed. It's no good. We don't need to save those lives. We don't need to save the State some money. We don't need to help the hospital associations and the nurses: and et cetera,'' to -- through a resolution. And I don't think that we are in the business of telling them what to do through these means. And therefore, I raise -- rise in opposition to this -- this resolutionz and think that it is unfair, and it is not a right thing for us to do as a Body. I urge a No vote on this resolution. : ' PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I Further discussion? Senator Schaffer. l SENATOR SCHAFFER: I ! l I rise in support of the resolution. And frankly, I think ! I there's a greater issue here than motorcycle helmets. ïou may be for a law for motorcycle helmets; you may be against it. I think @ 1 the question at hand is the highhanded tactics of the Pederal Government. Who knows what the next issue -- they'll say, ''If you don't do this or that, we dre going to take some money away from ; I you.'' You know, theylre pretty good at handing us bills and walking away. But this is -- this is, I think, sending Washington a message - not just on this issue, but on a1l issues - that this I is not an effective way -- way for the Federal Government to deal I ' with the State Government, any more than our municipalities Would I be happy if we sent through some 1aw that said ''We're going to i , take half your motor fuel away if you don't have a bicycle safety ! ! 21 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 program in your city hall.'' We don't operate that way, and the Federal Government shouldn't operate that way. j 4
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Topinka.
Yes. Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I stand in support of this, as a Member of the Transportation Committee, in listenin: to some of these, you knowp requests that come down from the Federal Government. The Federal Government has the right to pass laws just as we do, and if they don't have the guts to do it on their end, then don't send it down to us using extortion as a way of accomplishing one's means. It's a very indirect way of trying to get this accomplished. It's very unfair. I think it puts us at risk unnecessarily. And really and trulyz they seem to have an opinion on so many things in Congress - let them stand up on their end and do it, and no* shove it back to us in this type of a backhanded manner. It's really an ugly way to do business, and I think the resolution addresses that.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not, Senator Woodyard may close.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. I think Senator Schaffer made the points I wanted to make in closing. This resolution is not a precedent-setting resolution by any stretch of the imagination. It does urge the Fedéral Congress to stop imposing mandates on -- on we states. Theydve done it in the past. Theylre probably going to continue to do i*g but 1, quite frankly, am getting sick and tired of being blackmailed by the Federal Government in Washinqton. And Iz quite frankly, think a lot of your constituency are getting sick and tired of that happening. That's what khis resolution does. I
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 i Question is, shall Senate Joint Resolution 163 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have a1l voted Who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 43, the Nays are 10. Senate Joint Resolution l63 is adopted. Before we leave this Order of Business, there have been tWo additional requests. Page 12, Senate Joint Resolution -- Ilm sorry. Senate i Resolution 508, Madam Secretary.
Senate Resolution 508.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) S i enator Watson. r i
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate you going back ; to this Order of Business. This resolution does exactly what the 1 Calendar says. It creates the Committee to Assure Reasonable l 1 Evaluationz commonly called CARE, to conduct a feasibility study of consolidating the efforts of various departments and agency -- agencies in the inspection of nursing homes and hospitals. I don't know if you've heard from your various nursing homes or j h i ospitals throughout your district, but one thing that seems to be j happening is there's a multitude of State agencies and federal I i agencies, quite honestly, that come into these particular homes ! i and inspect them and regulate them. And one week youlll have one 1 agency; the next week you'll have another one, and the -- sometkmes the regulations won't be consistent. So what we want to do is see if we can come up with just one regulatory body that's i ; going to come in and inspect nursin: homes and hospitals, so there fll be some consistency and hopefully free up some time for I the administration of these various facilities.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maltland. ssxAToR MAzTsAxD: i Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I Senate Bill 2215, which is the FY'92 supplemental appropriations bill, passed out of this Chamber, you may recall, a Week ago, and it had just a number of -- of issues in it that are -- that are of critical importance with Department of Aging and Department of . I Children and Family Services, Public Aid and some other agencies. And there is some import that we move this along as quickly as possible and get it to the Governor's desk. When it resided in i the House, Ehere Were tWo or three items added on to it, which is the reason it's back here. There's a transfer for the Department of Mental Hea1th. There is the payments for county treasurers' compensation, also some redistricting - additional expenses, and adds some money for the Rutan case. Mr. President, I would be happy to respond to any questions the Body might have, otherwise, would appreciate a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) z Is there -- a11 right -- is there discussion? Senator Cullerton.
Yes. Would the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Cullerton.
Senator Maitland, I'm not on the Appropriations -- Senator Maitland, I'm not on the Appropriations Committee, so maybe you could help me just conceptually -- you could explain what We're doing here. There's some State money here. It's not all federal money. Is that correct? And what welre doing is wedre 25 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 appropriatinq maybe -- what is this the eleventh month of the fiscal year? Wefre appropriating a hundred and -- it's in the twelfth month. We've started the twelfth month of the fiscal year. Wefre appropriatin: a hundred and twenty-some million of State dollars. From What I've been reading in the paper, we oWe about eight hundred million dollars, and we're trying to put together a budget and We certainly don't want to appropriate in that neW budget any more than what *e have. So just conceptually, where is this money coming from to -- to spend?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Ladies and Gentlemen, could We have some order, please? Senator Maitland.
Thank you, Mr. President. Senator Cullerton, have -- I have reason to believe you understand the appropriations process a little better, so I think you ought to give yourself a bit more credit. I think you have a pretty good understanding of this -- of this. Keep in mind What we are -- What We are doing here, as we go through the year; we find ourselves with a number of areas where adjustments have to be made, where additional expenditures come up. We, as you recall, throughout the year, made some adjustmentsy especially in January. This is the spending authority in some of these critical areas that, as the Comptroller has the money available, she can spend *he money.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.
Well, I understand that we need to have khe authority to spend this money. That's what Wedre giving. But Will the money itself come from us passing a budget next year that's a hundred and twenty million dollars less than lt otherwise would have beeny or are we going to have -- is this going to be done -- is this going 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 113th Legislative Day June 3, 1992 i to affect the lapse spending in some way? And I -- seriously, I've never been on an Appropriations Committee, but I do have a general - obviously - understanding of how it works. But I'm just : conceptually trying to figure out where this money Will come from.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.
Thank you, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. Senator Cullerton, that is a legitimate question. In the Governor's April budget he had anticipated a number of these adjustments and approximately this increase in GRF authorization. You indicated it was a hundred and twenty-three million dollars, and that's exactly what it is.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton. No. Further discussion? If not, Senator Maitland, you may close.
Let's -- let's send it to the Governorfs desk: Mr. President.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. The question is, shall the Senate concur with House Amendment 1 to Senate Bill 2215. Those in favor Will vote Aye. Those opposed: Nay. The voting is open. Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 57# the Nays are none, none voting Present. The Senate does concur with House Amendment l to Senate Bill 2215. And the bill, having received the required constitutional majorityz is declared passed. Resolutions.
