Senator Macdonald, on Amendment No. 1.
Thank you, Mr. President. This amendment is agreed to by the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Northwest Municipal Conference, to iron out the remainin: discrepancies of this Adopt-A-Highway agreement. The language adds ''carcasses'' to those items not to be picked up by volunteers. Also the new language 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 allows for IDOT and the sponsoring jurisdiction to determine if the section of the roadway is not safe for purposes of the program, and allows IDOT to have uniform sign standards in terms of location. The intent of the language that calls for the local jurisdictions and IDOT to cooperatively decide which State routes are safe is an effort to keep dangerous stretches of highway from being adopted where the chance of injury is great. It is intended that IDOT would ldentify such dangerous segments and document those in writing so that a listing could be provided to a1l local governments wishing to begin an Adopt-A-Highway program. Should the Department abuse this power, by restricting municipalities' ability to begin these programs, feel the Legislature should delete the cooperative language. But this is the amendment now, and I ask for its adoption.
Senator Macdonald has moved the adoption of Amendment No. to House Bill 2741. Discussion? Senator Demuzio.

So, I'm not pointing out simply to you, Senator Macdonald, but just to make a carte blanche statement that we ought to at least have these amendments ahead of time so that we know what theyfre doing.

This bill came over from the House in the form that a party convicted of a violent crime where the victim was a childz would be a factor to be considered in the division of property in the dissolution of a divorce. There were objections by the Bar Association to opening up ''fault'' in the division of marital property. And working with the House sponsor and the Bar Association, we amended this bill yesterday, so that as amended, the bill would allow a court to consider such offenses as aggravated battery and sexual assault against a child in deciding whether to impose a constructive trust on jointly or separately held property of the parties. It was moved from the fault Section to the Section 503(g) of the Marriage and Dissolution Act at the suggestion of the Bar Association, and that removes the opposition of the Bar Associationz and I know of no other opponents to the bill, and I would ask for the passage of House Bill 661, as amended.

In the Elementary and Secondary Education Committee, Senator Berman and the State Board suggested that this might be too wide open, that a later school board could make such a determination. And the bill was amended in committee, which removed the opposition which says that a school board intends to assume the indebtedness of a territory that is being annexed, it must do so prior to the date of the annexation. This removed the oppositkon. I'd be happy to answer any questions, otherwise ask for the passage of House Bill 2940, as amended.

Could you explain exactly What the Forest Preserve plans on doing with these four acres?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- Senator Joyce.
Excuse me. I believe they're going to use it as part of a habitat program. Evidently, the four acres that the farmer has is a more wooded-type acre. The four acres that the Forest Preserve have is more suited for farming. So it's noneontroversiale even-up exchange.

I Welly a major purchase like this of particularly valuable I farmland -- I mean, we may need a -- I would think a professional assessor to inspect this, and I think perhaps that's an amendment you should consider, is that we would have a professional inspector review this to see if it's a wetlands, or to see if this has toxlc waste dumped on it, or if this has ever been a law office or any of these other disreputable things that could have been put there, just to make sure that we, as the County, are not absorbing some large long-term liabilities. i PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) i A1l right.

We currently allow this for repairs and everything else, but we 've had an omission in the Code. When someone first purchases an lmplement, this is necessary so they can drive it home. It passed the House ll4 to nothing. I Would ask for the passage of House Bill 2993.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Fawell.
Yes. Will the Senator yield for a question? j
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he Will yield. Senator Fawell.
I -- Senator Hawkinson, I realize this is not your first bill. This is really a serious question. I happened to be in the Supreme Court, sitting there one day, and was listening to a case where a piece of machinery came down the road - and it was wider than normal - because our law allowed it to do so, and it clipped the head off of a guy. Have we talked -- I mean, have you limited I 65 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 i this somewhat, so we don't run into this problem again? I PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I Senator Hawkinson. i
This doesn't affect that in any way. Right now, if you have to take in your -- your tractor or your combine or anything for repair, you can take it into the dealer and have it repaired and take it home. A1l this says is when you first buy it, you can take it home.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? If not -- Senator Cullerton.
Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield.
Are these -- right now, until we change the law, is there an -- a Vehicle Code offense for driving a brand new tractor home out of the dealership?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hawkinson.
Yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.
This bill arises out of our districke where someone did get a ticket because they had just purchased it and Were -- were taking it home.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMDZIO) Senator Madigan.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3027, as amended, arises out of a discussion between the McLean County Board and their county engineer. Basically, the county engineer did not want the authority to overrule them in the case of subdivision ordinances. As amended, there was some concern that some areas did not want to be exempted or come under this legislation. So therefore, the amendment exempts most of the areas of Illinois. I'd be glad to answer any question, and would ask for 1ts adoption.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This piece of legislation was requested by the Palos Heights Fire Protection District.

The amendment that was put on this thing - 69 !

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH : Thank yau, Mr. President. What this bill requires is that when the Attorney General or the State's attorney or Department of Public Health have knowledge of a particular violation of the Environmental Protection Act taking place in a county, and the Office of Environmental Protection has received legally verified information coneerning the illegal disposal of hazardous waste, they have to notify the Statefs attorney. This arises from a situation where the Attorney General knew about the disposal of hazardous waste in a normal landfill and didn't inform the local State 's attorney, so the waste kept pilin: up without the State's attorney bein: able to prohibit or block the shipment of hazardous waste. I'd be glad to answer any questions. 70 ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18# 1992

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3050 amends the Insurance Code and provides for the return finance insurance contract premium must be mailed to the premium finance company within sixty days, rather than thirty that's now law. And also a premium finance agreement may be signed on behalf of the named insured; that is: by the broker, and the specific insurance coverage financed is an example of a condition of the agreement that must be disclosed to the insured by the receipt date of the first premium payment. And I ask for a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICERI (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Schuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. Would the Well-dressed sponsor yield to a question?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Schuneman.
Senator, is this the same bill that you presented, and same idea you presented, last January, that only got 10 votes in the Senate?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jones.
This is the bill that I believe you probably had a misunderstandin: on -- that the Department of Insurance came up 72 STATE OF ILLINOIS I 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY j REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18: 1992 with this language to deal With this particular problem . So ! therefore: that was a misunderstanding. I thought perhaps you had 2 i been enlightened. But this is the bill that -- they agreed to write this particular language so that the 1aw that is currently on the book can be applied.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Schuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN: ! ; I think the answer was Ies. Just for the edification of the Membersz what -- what youdre seekinq to do here is to allow agents and brokers who are selling their product - and I'm -- I'm one of l those agents and brokers - to allow them to sign a premium finance agreement without submitting that agreement in advance to the i insured, who has to pay the premium . I don't think thatts a very 1 good idea. The Department of Insurance is supposed to be looking ; out for the consumers in Illinois, and the fact that they're supporting this bill, I think is kind of foolish of them. I don't I think it's a very good idea. It probably would make my life a little easier if you passed this bill, but I don't think it's a E good practice to begin. If we're going to do it for the purchase ! of insurance, then why not do it for the purchase of house siding, or roofing or a whole lot of other products? And I really think we ought to reject this idea.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discusslon? If not, Senator Jones may close.
Yeah. Thank you, Mr. President. And in response to the speaker in oppositton, when the bkll was in committee, I know that you did vote for it then, but one of the thlngs is this -- is that when an agent or broker write a policy, that policy transaction may take place on the telephone. In most instances, it does take I i place on the telephone. 73 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY j REGULAR SESSION i SENATE TRANSCRIPT p ' : 120th Legislative Day June l8z 1992 !

But those of us who are privileged to sit in this committee realize that a 1ot of times bills are churned out of there Without everybody knowing for sure what's in the bills.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) I'm sorry: Senator Jones. Senator Jones.
Wellr I'm sorry that my enlightened colleague, who has served so diligently on the committee, do not understand the process. But -- but as I indicated, many insurance contracts and transactions take place on the telephone. And this is an agreement between the policyholder and their agent. And all -- all provisions of that said contract must be disclosed to the insured. And it is for this reason the Department did recommend this -- this language be included in this bkll, and I do ask for a favorable vote.

I hate to ask a question like this, but this virtually makes township governments county governments. I mean, this appears, as I read it, this basically will make a township government a county government. I mean, there are only some features for county government left that aren't included here. Is that our intention, to make county governments actually major governmental levels with broad-based taxing and spending authorities? Is that the intent of the bill?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Macdonald.
Senator Keats, that is not the intent of the bill. I think that more and more, with funds being limited from -- from county government, from village governments, and from -- from other areas of government, that We are looking more and more to township governmentsy and it is important for them to be able to have the flexibility to meet the needs of the people that they are serving also.

Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. House Bill 3168 does three things. Itz first of all, eliminates some need for small public utilities to file estimated gross revenue tax forms. They'll just file once a year. Second, the bill eliminates the need for tax returns to be notarized. And third, the bill requires payment of stock and bond fees at the time of authorization, rather than issuance. I know of no opposition, and would seek your support.

PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson. SENATOR HAWKINSON: Thank you, Mr. President. This bill comes as a result of a proposal by the Henry County State's Attorney in Which -- they had a court case in Which a circuit judge held that a stepfather or a father or other family member was not in a position of trust in terms of that being an aggravating factor for an offense committed against a child. We have, in the Unified Code of Correction, factors in aggravation and factors in mitigation, and one of the factors in aggravation is that the person who commits the offense holds a position of trust, such as a teacher or counselor or -- or other person. Itfs been assumed that a family member is a position -- a person in a position of trust, but it's not specifically spelled out in the Statute, and this bill would spell that out in the Statute, which I think is only logical. And I would ask for the passage of House Bill 3184. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) I Is there any discussion?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
Thank you: Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This validates the tax levy and appropriation ordinances of Cook County and the Cook County Forest Preserve Districts, and then we added an amendment yesterday that I thought applied only to Dupage County. We attempted to also validate their tax levy ordinance. Turns out that the amendment that was adopted applies to a11 counties other than Cook. So we would -- we would be validating 91 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 the tax levy ordinances of the forest preserve districts in any county having a population of less than three million. I would be happy to answer any questions, and move for the passage of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Yeah, question of the sponsor, please.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates hedll yield. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Why are We doing this?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
The purpose of a tax levy validation is to basically preempt the use of nonsubstantive procedural objections as the basis of a suit challenginq tax levies and extensions. And so that's why we passed this bill. We do it, as you know, annually. We -- and what this -- if you look at the actual text of the bill, We are adding the year 1991 to a Whole list of previous years where we passed such a bill, going back to 1966. So that's why we pre doing it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, I'm aware we've been doing it for a long time, but T do know that we now have a reformed county board president. and I thought therefore he might Want to change some of the practices of the past. My understanding is that the reason you want the validation is that Cook County Forest Preserve District does not itemize its appropriatkon. And therefore, what youdre asking us 92 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION 1 1 SENATE TRANSCRIPT E 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 i to do is immunize that body from any wrongdoing, even though they Will not let us knoW What they're doing. ! i
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator -- Senator Cullerton. l
Well, as I stated, we -- we do this - and have done it# qoin: back to 1966 - to preempt the use of nonsubstantive procedural objections as a basis for a suit. Now I was unaware of the fact that the Cook County Forest Preserve District does not itemize their expenses. I think that's something that should be taken up in the Cook County Board, and I would recommend that you contact a member of the Cook County Board and ask them to pass an ordinance to reform that provision. But that shouldn't affect the fact that we still need to pass a tax validation ordinance that applkes not just to Cook County, but also to a1l of the forest preserve districts in the State. And they asked for it. Senator Fawell asked for the amendmentr and she put the amendment on.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) This is a recommendation of the State 's Attorney. Senator Dehngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Well, I am aware of thak, Senator Cullertonz but I also am aware that Cook County does not itemize 1ts appropriation. The other forest preserve districts do. So, I mean, if we're going to -- we're going to validate something for somebody else, we at least know Why wedre validating that. I'm no* so certain why we know we 're validating this for Cook County, because I don't know what I'm validating.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Topinka.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I know I 93 ' STATE 0F ILLINOIS j 87kh GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ë 120kh Legislative Day June l8, 1992 i we've had this practice go on in Cook County for quite some time: ï i and now would seek to move it around to other counties as well. 1 That doesn't make it right, and it certainly doesn't make it ; ! proper. And all wefve really done is just move something bad and I expand upon it to -- to other counties. And I think Senator DeAngelis kind of puts his finger on it, in that if he votes on ! I this, he really doesnlt know what he's validating. And I think I taxpayers also don't know What theyfre validating when they -- I they really do not see this enumeration by the Cook County Forest Preserve District. I have no ax to grind with the Cook County I Forest Preserve District Which, by and large, I think does a very good job. But this particular item has stuck in the craw of the Legislature year after year, and we continue to do 1t, and now we've made it worse. And I really think we ought to look at thls and think about it, 'cause we've really excluded the taxpayers. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Would the sponsor yield for a question? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he Will. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Do I understand by this bill that you lre validating nok only for Cook County, but all Downstate forest preserve districts? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton. SENATOR CULLERTON: As a result of an amendment that was adopted, sponsored by Senator Fawell, we added the Downstate forest preserve districts. Yes. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis. 94 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 i SENATOR GEO-KARIS: i I And I take it from that you mean also the districts in my i county, in Lake County. j 1
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
As -- you are correct.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, it's bad enouqh -- if that's what you Want for Cook County, it's fine. But I do not appreciate it being extended to the forest preserve district in my county. I feel that forest preserve districts should be more accountable than ever, because they can issue bonds - - and now with the cap, they can't do it so much, but before, they were abke to issue loads of bonds, and couldn't even -- didn't even need a referendum. And I feel that this is a little bit too broad, and therefore, I -- I cannot support this.
PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. You know, I think Senator Cullerton's intentions are well, but it's starting to get a lot of negative vibes here on this side of the Floor.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Could we have your attention, please? Senator Cullertony please.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This bill comes to us and -- with the support of the Illinois Library Association, and it basically says that no new library shall be established under the Village Library Act after the effective date of this amendatory Act, and it grandfathers in the four libraries that have been established under the Village Library Act. A little background on this: We - we have almost six hundred and thirty libraries in Illinois, and they are governed either by the Local Library Act or the Library District Act. But a feW - as I indicated, four - were created under this very obscure Village 97 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 ' ! : Library Act. Now the coneern of the Library Association is -- is I I that if -- if a library was to be established under this Village I ! Library Act, because the law also requires reciprocity, that one could be established that would not have any financial support; they would issue its citizens library cards, and then they could go off and use other neighboring libraries that -- they would have to subsidize them. So this is a concern of the Library Association, and they have a grandfather clause in the bill. And I think it makes sense. I'd be happy to answer any questions, and ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Welch.
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he'll yield.
Currently, a library can be formed with either taxing authority, or it could be formed without taxing authority, according to this analysis. And what your bill says is that no longer can any city form a library that doesnlt have taxing authority. Is that right?
Yeah. I have to -- I have to go over this one more time to make sure it's clear. There are four libraries that have been established in this State under what's called the Village Library Act, and this was -- this -- this Village Library Act was created at a time when it was not possible to establish a public library in a village under the Local Library Act. And so this Was -- this -- this Villaqe Library Act, at the time, Was to recognize situations where the village had sufficient resources from other sources to support public library services - that is, when they 98 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87t% GENERAL ASSEMBLY ' REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 didn't need any property tax. Now four of these libraries were ! established and still exist. NoW apparently what the concern of the Library Association is, is that a village Would go out, form one of these libraries under the Village Library Act, and not have any taxing authority at all; they would then issue library cards to everyone who's in that village, and then they Would -- since they don't really have a library, but they have the authority to issue these -- these library cards, then the citizens would go off and use some other neighboring library that, of course, is supported by some other taxpaying body. So that's the purpose of I ! this bill: to make sure that these village library -- or libraries created under the Village Library Act could not be created in the future so as to abuse this -- this law.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Welch. I SENATOR WELCH: I 1 Welly the existing four libraries that don't have taxing authority, does this bill give them taxing authority?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
No. It -- there are three ways in which you can create a library: the Local Library Act, or the Library District Act, and then this Village Library Act, where you don't have any taxing authority. Okay? So here's what the concern is -- okay.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH : 1 So what you're saying is that the Library Association wants us to make sure that no librarles are created that don't have taxing authority. So what weîre doing is ereatinq a bill that says if you want a library, you have to have taxing authority. So we're I 99 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8y 1992 creating, in effect, a mandated taxing authority for any new libraries. Local government or local individuals will have no choice whether its a taxing body or a nontaxing body. Everything has to be a taxing body, right?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
If you create a library without a taxing authority, but you keep in the 1aw the -- the reciprocity obligations of honoring library cards throughout al1 the libraries, then you have -- the concern of the Library Association is that people might use this as a ruse, a village might create a library - not build a library, not actually have a library - just issue cards, and so then they'd go to other library districts that are funded by other taxpayers. That's What the concern is. Thatls what the bill is. And if you don't like it, maybe you can vote No. I don't care. Ifm just trying to explain it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) There's a lot of lights here. Senator Pawell.
Thank you -- thank you very much. In order to be a library in this Statew under the -- under present laws, you -- under most of the ways that you organize a library, there has to be so many books, there have to be a building, there have to be certain certified personnel and so on and so forth. This original 1aw is outdated. That's the way they used to set up libraries. They used to have a couple books; they used to have somebody come in on an afternoon. That was before we started beinq able to borrow books from each other's library and that type of thing. Al1 this bill does is -- says let's make sure that somebody isn't going to have a scam, in effect, and set up a library, not tax for issue cards, and then go to the neighbor's library and say, ''We1l, 100 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 I have my library card, and under the present rules. I now can use your books. You can't use my books, because I haven 't got any, but I can use yours.'' I think this is a good bill, and we ought ! to vote for it. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) ! ( Senator Weaver.
Well, thank you, Mr. President. A question of the sponsor, r ' Mr. President. PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) ! I Indicates he'll yield. SENATOR WEAVER: I There are several small communities thae contract on a fee basis with larger libraries for their residents to pay a fee to i use that. Will this preclude them from paying a fee to use a surrounding community library?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
No, not at all. They can still go ahead and do that. This just says that they cannot establish a -- under this obscure Village Library Act, they cannot establish their own library and then not really have a library, just issue the cards. But, no, the practice you describe, where they contract with either a library established under the Local Library Act, Which would be municipal and township libraries, or some establish a library under the Library District Act, which are called special districts. They can continue to operate and have contractual arrangements with communities. I was just trying to describe this - - this obscure Village Library Actz under which there's only four libraries that are -- have been established under this to date. ! And I told you abouttheconcernthatthelibrarieshaveabout 1 10l STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLV ! REGULAR SESSION I SENATE TRANSCRIPT ' 120th Legislative Day June l8# 1992 this being used in -- or abused, and that's the purpose of the i bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
I have no quarrel with that purpose, and it sounds reasonable and everything. My question is -- one of the hotter issues are those areas of the State where the citizens decide in a village or for some other reason they do not want to be part of a library district. Current 1aw somekimes alloks them to be annexed inz and in order to avoid that, they have to use backdoor referendum and some other things. I'm wgndering if this is an attempt to take away one of the tactics of some of those areas that perhaps have chosen not to be annexed, and this is -- by establishing a village library district, then they Won't -- they cannot be annexed by another district, and they don't have to pay property taxes for services they don't want. Is this at all part of the motivation, or does thls play into this at all?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
Well. certainly the -- the proponents of the bill did not state to me that that's why they want to do it, and to date - and not recently, I Would point out, but to date - there's only been four of these village libraries been established. I imagine that, you knok, if you wanted to form a village library -- I don't even know that that means that you can't later on be annexed or -- or taken in under some Local Library Act or a Library District Act. l02 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 So I don't even know if that would be a defense. But that certainly is not the motivation of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson.
So you know of none of -- no area of the State where some group of citizens has attempted this to avoid annexation, and then that's not what this bill is addressing.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton. Cullerton.
Yes, that's -- that's correct; thatls not the motivation of the bill, and I don't know of any situations where that's occurred.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schuneman.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he Will.
Senator, in your description, I didn't understand for sure is there someplace where some village library has done this now that has caused problems to surrounding libraries?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
No, I don 't know of any situation. Apparently, they are attempting to pass this bill before the situation arises. And as I said: the potential abuse here is issuing cards without actually building a library, and that, because of the reciprocity that's in the law , you then Would go out and use somebody else's library l03 I STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18e 1992 without -- without paying for it. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN: Well, I understand. That's probably a laudable thing; that they be required to share some kind of expense, but throughout rural Illinois, there are many very, very small libraries that are created by solicitation of the people. And you know, it's a very, very small operation. In some of those instances where they dre allowed to get on the regional library systems that we have in this State, libraries that were formed for example, in my townr where the library is supported by the city, now theydre being required to keep people from the rural areas from having library cards unless they make a very high charge to those people. And I would hate to see -- you know, I wouldn't want to be a party to passing some kind of a bill that agqravates that situationz especially if we're passing it prospectively, you know. If there's no problem as of today, I'm not quite sure it is why We want to pass this bill, Senator. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton. SENATOR CULLERTON: Wellg this is along the lines of the question asked by Senator Weaver, and I want to make it clear. You have -- if you have a small municipal library that's established by the Local Library Act, either townships or municipalities can use that Act to establish those libraries, and they can contract with outlying rural areas if they Want, to allow those residents to come in and use the library. This bill has nothing to do with that. This doesn't affect that. This just says that those outlying, rural areas I imagine you could say could not establish their own library under the Village Library Act, not build a library and 104 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18, 1992 then issue cards and then have to have those cards honored Within your municipality's library. That Would be a way of going around having to pay for the services, which now they have to pay. So that's the theory behind the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Keats.
There's an unintentional problem with this bill. There's a town in Lake County called Highwood. Very famous little town, because they don't have any property tax, refuse to have one. Everything done in town is volunteered. When they wanted to do a library, all the folks of the town got together one day and they built the thing, and they furnished it. They do not tax for it, but it is a library built under -- I think the Village Library Act. They are in the system, but What youdre saying is -- here Was an example of a self-help town. This would make that impossible. So I Would say -- I see that as a glitch. But the second problem is - and I would ask this: why are We solving a problem we donît have? You knoW, We have to ask ourselves, why do we need to solve a problem we don't have?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton. Cullerton, please.
.. . tmachine cutoffl..oso, Senator Keats, in response: first of all, if your Homewood Library -- Highwood Library was formed under the Village Library Act, then theydre grandfathered in - if theydre one of the four in the State. BuE I suspect that theydre probably not. They're probably a local library established under the Local Library Act, but since they don't need to pay for it by property taxes, they probably don't have a property tax levy. They just accept donations, and that's how tbey run their library. Once again, this bill would not affect them at all. But if some l05 STATE OP ILLINOIS . 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18, 1992 neighboring village, who didn 't have a library, established a library under this Village Library Act, issued cards, but didn 't build a library, then the 1aw says they are entitled to come over I to Highwood and use tbose services for free, without paying any -- ' any fees. And that's the evil that the bill is trying to address, even though it hasn 't happened yet. ! :

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Yeah, I know .
Thank you, Mr. President. I don't think -- I think this is a lot of debate for a bill that's really not all that earth-shattering, except that frankly, I khink it sounds like a ' silly bill, because -- it's -- it's very simple. If -- you don't have to abolish the whole Act and prohibit people from -- libraries from being established under villaqe library districts. Al1 you have to do is have the -- the surrounding libraries or a1l the other libraries not accept their card, for crying out loud . If you come in with this card from that library -- what? They have to? Why do they have to, if they're not a part of the system?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
This is the key to the bill, and I didn't know this until I inquired of the people from the Library Association. Apparently there's a State Statute that says any library that's formed under one of the three ways in which you can form a library, you have to have reciprocity; you have to accept their card. Okay? So you I l06 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18, 1992 could -- you could establish this village library, not build a library, but issue cards, and then they go to other people's libraries; they have to accept their card, and they don't have to pay any fees. That's the problem. And that's the reason why -- i it is potentially not a silly bill if someone tried to abuse it, and that's Why wefre passing the billz hopefully.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This is a bill that Was requested by the Community Bankers Association. It declares that a security interest in a deposit account does not displace a common law right of set-off. This was an agreed bill. I know of no known opposition, and ask for its support.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The question is, shall House Bill -- I'm sorry. It wasn't on. Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
Senator, right now a bank can set off your account, and what that means, they can apply it against a debt if they have a security agreement that's on the back of your -- your bank card or your -- your deposit agreemenb. There has to be a contract that allows set-off. And sometimes this sek-off is exercised against a joint tenant. For example, a mother and daughter - mother could place a daughter on an account for purposes of convenience. She's not able, because of ill health or something, to pay her own bills, and the daughter becomes a joint tenant. What can happen occasionally is that that daughter has some financial problems and 1l4 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TEANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8: 1992 - - of her own that have nothinq to do with the mother, who really owns the account, and the bank, if they have an agreement, can i take the mother's account and set off the daughter's debt. But k I they have to have a contract to do that. Are you now saying that even without a contract - that under some common 1aw case that could be a hundred years old for all we knoW - that there can be j ! I set-off against someone s account, even though that set-off has not been explained to them in a contract? i
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President. As I understand ity Senator: that the security interest is perfected only when there's an agreement that is signed. NoW whether or not that -- that -- and When it is signed and when it is executed, and then When the other organization, other than the secured party maintaininq the account - - the deposit account, is given such notice. So it appears to me i there has to be notice .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson .
So for purposes of legislative intent, this is not -- this is not designed to expand the current set-off rights# for example, involving the debt of a joint tenant - this would not be designed to expand those set-off rights Without notice -- prior notice to the account owner?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
Senator, as I understand it, this is a clarification as to when a security interest in a deposit account is, in effect, as they say, perfected . ! ll5 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18y 1992
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson.
Well, it may be a clarification, but itss not intended to expand set-off rights, or to give financial institutions rights to set off against owners of a joint tenancy account, because of a debt of some other joint tenant.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
That is not my intent, and as far as I understand it, that is not the kntent of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis.
Will the sponsor yield for a question?
PRESIDING OEFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
1'm not sure I understand this bill, but -- correct me if I'm Wrong. Does this bill, in effect, state that if I have a bank account in Carl Hawkinson's bank, for example, and -- and I oWe money on -- and I owe that bank moneyz does that bank have a priority lien on my bank account, rather than some other bank where I've also borrowed money?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
As I understand the bill, no.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis.
1l6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8# 1992 But then, according to our analysis, it said that -- it says that the -- a depository bank's claimed an account Where the account is used as collateral for -- for a loan, that depository bank can make a claim on it.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
Would you repeat that question, Senator? I didn't hear that?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Geo-Karis.
According to our analysisy says that -- my understanding is that a depository banky if it has a claim to an account that have in that bank, and that I had used that account as collateral for a loan, I think -- the way I read this is that bank would have a prior lien on that account, rather than some other bank where I may have borrowed money from. In other words, it's not very clear for me. Perhaps you can explain it a little better, because I'm not too clear on it.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Jacobs.
Senator, if you look at the bill, it really is -- doesn 't really say a lot, but the purpose of the bill - and it's the best way I can perhaps describe it - is that, as it says, that declares that Article 9 of the Code: i.e. secured transactions does not displace a common 1aw riçht of set-off of the secured party as to the deposit accounk maintained by the secured party. I think it's a clarification, and that's a11 it is, Senator.

PRESIDING OPPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Cullerton.
Thank you, Madam President and Members of the Senate. This legislation amends -- makes various changes to the Illinois Plumbing License Law, and it's a result of negotiations and agreement between the plumbing contractors of Chicago and Cook County, the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local 130, and the Department of Public Hea1th. It amends the license 1aw to eliminate the fee schedule and replace that with -- by alloWing the Department of Public Health to establish a fee schedule. It creates the Plumbing Licensure and Program Fund, and it amends the State Finance Act. It establishes reguirements and procedures for licensure of apprentice plumbers. Inexperienced apprentice plumbers, first- and second-year apprentices: must have direct supervision by their sponsor in order to perform most plumbing work. Second-year apprentices may do repair and maintenance Work if they have completed a minimum number of hours of classroom instructions or its equivalent. The other changes are relatively minor, requiring apprentice plumbers to be at least sixteen years old, and other provisions. Be happy to answer any questions. Itîs an agreed bill, and be happy to answer any questions: or otherwise ask for your Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) 127 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8e 1992 Further discussion? Senator Palmer.
Will the sponsor yield for a question? I
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) He indicates he will yield.
Okay. Senator Cullerton, would you explain or describe what is meant by the apprentice program, and What kind of experience an apprentice has to have for tWo years in order to qualify?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Holmberg -- I mean Cullerton. I'm sorry.
The -- apparently the chanqe that this law Would brinq about deals with the definition of ''supervisionl'. Currently, ''supervision'' means any plumbing done by a licensed apprentice plumber must be inspected at least once after an initial rough-in and once upon completion by the licensed sponsor or his agent. And in addition, a1l renovation, alteration, extension and maintenance work done by a licensed apprentice plumber on an existing plumbing system must be approved by the licensed sponsor or his agent. This bill provides that supervision -- means that first- and second-year licensed apprentices must perform plumbing, as defined in the Act, under the direct personal supervision of a licensed sponsor or his agent, except for maintenance and repair work done by second-year apprentices. These particular second-year apprentices must have received a minimum number of hours of classroom instruction or its equivalent. Supervision with respect to a11 other apprentice plumbers means that, except for maintenance and repair worky any plumbing done by such apprentices must be inspected daily, after initial rough-in and after completion by the licensed sponsor or his agent. In addition, all repair and maintenance work done by apprentices must 128 i STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 be approved by the licensed sponsor or his agent. So remember that this is not a new Act. We are amending an Act that already exists - that dealing with licensing of plumbers. And it's really more of a technical change in -- in the 1aw with regard to the definition of ''supervision.''

That tax was never intended to apply to a business employee who is a resident of a training facility owned by a specific corporation. However, discussions with the Department of Revenue, even though the tax has never been applied, those discusskons have implied that the Department of Revenue may consider applying that tax in the future. To prevent that, what House Bill 3594 does is add a . definition to the word ''publicy'l which clarifies for taxation purpose that employees and other persons of a business and its affiliates or subsidiaries who skay overniqhk at a facility owned by the employery affiliate or subsidiary, for the sole purpose of training, will not be considered as a hotel guest for tax purposes.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Pawell.
When it's no longer used for evidentiary purposes, then it -- ' the court orders it given to the sheriff, who will then return it ! 140 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 to the rightful owner. Now, if it is a -- used in evidence -- it's still needed as evidence, obviously the court will still hang on to it. Also, if it happens to have a gun -- oh, boy. If it happens to have a gun where the victim Was shot with his own gun, then the victim 's kin or next of kin ean file for the gun.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR COLLINS) Senator Demuzio.

Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Senate. Current law permits aliens to hold title to property for only six years, after which time the land must be conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value. This was enacted in 1897. What this bill does is to authorize aliens to acquire, hold and dispose of real property in the same manner as natural born U.S. citizens. However, it does not apply to the Aqricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act, which is a -- an AcE which we enacted so ehat information could be acquired and used by the Director of Agriculture to analyze the effect of foreign holdings on family farms in rural communities. We don't affect that Act: but we do authorize aliens to dispose of and hold real property just like natural born citizens.

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3921, as it came over from the House, raised the maximum fine for child pornography from ten thousand dollars to one hundred thousand dollars. Under the current law, the counties get the ten-thousand-dollar fine. That would not be changed by this bill, but any fine over that would go to the State to create the Child Sexual Abuse Fund in the State Treasury. As it came over from the Housez this would have been administered by the Department of Public Hea1th. The Department of Public Hea1th and the Department of Children and Family Services agreed that this would be better administered by the Department of Children and Family Services, and we amended this bill yesterday to provide that the Child Sexual Abuse Fund would be administered by the Department of Children and Pamily Services, and would be used for grants to private agencies giving treatment and counseling to the victims of child sexual abuse.

Thank you very much. This was a proposal by the State Appellate Prosecutor's Office, and what it does, it extends from thirty to ninety days, after filing, the period that the court has to examine a petition for post-convietion relief. What has happened in the past is, the -- due to the time that the clerk has had, there have been some real problems in the courts. And so the post-conviction petition should be extended to ninety days.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Welch.
Yes, Mr.President. I'd just like to say that I stand in opposition to this bill. One of the reasons why it takes so long to have the death penalty enacted in the State of Illinois is that we have a 1ot of extra procedures after a conviction, and one of them is a post-conviction relief petition that a defendant is entitled to. What this bill says is that instead of the court enterin: a deeision within thirty days, wedre going to give them another two months. So what this b111 does is delay the imposition of the death penalty by two months. So I would urge people to vote No.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Hawkinson.
My initial reaction to this bill was to question why we would need to delay a post-conviction petition from thirty days Eo sixty <sic> days. This is # proposal of the State Appellate Prosecutor's howevere and I called them and I talked -- also, it's a proposal of State's Attorney Jack O'Malley. called my local State 's attorneys for their reaction to the bill. The reason for the bill is this, and the reason I1m standing in support: right l58 STATE OP ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18, 1992 nowe if a post-conviction relief petition is filed, a judqe has thirty days to dispose of it without holding a hearing. The judge can dispose of it -- if itls obviously a frivolous petition, the judge can dispose of it within thirty days Without holding a hearing. There are so many of these petitions in Cook County, and their branches are spread so far, that the Cook County State's Attorney is finding that the judges are getting these sometimes on the twenty-ninth day or not getting them within the thirty days at all. What this means, as a practical matter, is that on the most frivolous of petitions - and believe me# there are many frivolous petitions that are filed in post-conviction relief the judge then has to schedule a full-blown hearing on every petition. That is what clogs down the system, delays the system and causes delays in death penalty and other cases. By extending this period to ninety days, the judges will be able to look at all these petitions and dismiss those that are frivolous, without a hearing. I think, contrary to the prior speaker: this Will actually speed up the system, and that's the reason the State's attorneys are in favor of this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Lady from Cook, Senator Alexander.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will the sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he will.
My question to the sponsor is: oney if I am convicted of a crime, normally I am granted within a thirty-day period to file for an appeal. I then proceed to the Appellake level or other levels of court for a judicial rehearing. Does this piece of legislation in any way stop me from filing a post-conviction after a final court of review - Supreme or Appellate - has heard my last l59 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENEQAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992 call? So does it in any way affect my filin: date with this ninety-day extension, or thirty-day extension? i PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) ! S i ! enator Pawell. I SENATOR FAWELL: i No, it has nothing to do with that. It only is talking about the courts -- the amount of time the court has to review.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Alexander.
Thank you. I think I understand then. I then can proceed in the normal course with a notice of appeal; run what is considered my normal course in the courts; lose everything; and then I can start post-conviction petitions, as it has been in the past, without feeling that I have been denied any rights.

ACTING SECRETARY: (MR. NAQRY) I House Bill 4083. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 4083, as amended, does two things. One, it allows communities in Cook County that are in excess of ten thousand people to be able to purchase, for the purpose of rehabilitaeing, a facility for senior housing. In I addition to that, it allows the same right to villages that currently exist to cities in terms of moving the remains of persons interred in cemeteries. Be happy to answer any questions. If nok, I urge the passage of House Bill 4083.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Is there any discussion? Question is# shall House Bi11 -- excuse me. Senator Eeats. 1 l62 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June l8, 1992
I'm sorry. I'm trying to get the analysis. This moving interred remains in cemeteries - could you explain that aqain? I'm just trying to get the analysis. I'm not sure I'm for it or against it; just wanted to make sure I knew what that was.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Brookins. He must be moving somebody. Senakor DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Senator Weaver's bill. No. It's -- it's a one-line amendment. Currently the bill says, ''Whenever any cemetery is embraced within the limits of any city...9' I add g'village, or incorporated townl' to that, giving them the same rights to move the interred remains from the cemetery.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
Let me ge* this straight also. As I look at this analysis, this bill permits alternate bonds to be issued, and they can be issued without referendum or by backdoor referendum. Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: That is correctz Senator Demuzio. But currently, under 1aw in Cook County, that can be done for communities of fifteen thousand. This lowers it down to ten thousand. It applies specifically to one community, the town of Hazel Crest, where Senator Kelly lives.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kelly. I'm sorry. Senator Demuzio isn't finished.
I just want to clarify: it only pertains to those 163 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 120th Legislative Day June 18, 1992 municipalities that are located within the County of Cook - nothing else. 1 .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio. I'm sorry. Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: And only for the purpose of purchasing property that is to be rehabilitated. It does not permit it for new construction.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Kelly.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise to support this proposal. As Senator DeAngelis pointed out, itls already currently law of fifteen thousand. All this is doing, within Cook County onlyy is lowerinq it to ten thousand. And also wbat he mentioned on moving the remains in a cemetery.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator DeAngelis, to close. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Move for a favorable roll callz please.
