Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This appropriates 2.2 million dollars from the School Construction Fund to the Capital Development Pund for a grant to the Illinois -- or Indian Springs School District 109, for the planning and reconstruction of existing school. What happened is the Illinois Tollway Authority went in there, and they 're going to expand a ramp along with the Cook County Highway, and it's almost impossible for the kids to safely utilize that school. Theybre doing everything they can to -- to -- or to get money to build a new school a short distance away, and I'm just trying to help them out in that matter. The safety of the kids ls in jeopardy there, and this could really help them out. I just ask for a favorable roll call.

Senator Raica, I -- I really don't have any problem wkth providing two million, or whatever it is, for a particular school district in your area, but I venture to say that every one of us in here has the same problem. And it seems to me that We ought not to be doing this only for one school district. As a matter of public policy, we ought to be attempting to find a revenue stream to fund the one hundred million dollars' worth of school district construction bond money that We have already sent out of this Chamber: which currently resides in the House, With a revenue stream coming from the Build Illinois Purposes Fund for which it was intended for in the first place. But to simply -- to provide you with money for your school district, kt just seems to me that it isn't fair for all of the rest of us who have a number of school distrlcts in our area that we need to take care of also . So I would rise in opposition to this amendment today, until such time as that we can develop some master public policy for a11 the school districts in Illinois that need money out of the School District Construction Bond Fund. Thank you, Mr. President. PRESIDENT ROCK: ' Purther discussion on Amendment No. 4? Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Iz too, have to rise in opposition to this amendment, for two very specific reasons that I think the Membership has to be aware. Were we to pass thls amendment, that means any of you who had a school on the list that was eligible for school bond construction funds, they would now fall further down the list; becausez by State law, the minute you specify one school, it jumps to the top of the lkst. So any of you who had schools may now find those projects in jeopardy because of this particular project. 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22: 1992 j Secondly, it then becomes the equivalent, since there is no more money in the School Construction Fund now, of a general obligation bond, which means taxes will have to be raised to pay it off. And until we figure out how we are going to pay for these schools, i and until we are sure that schools Who thought they Were going to be built can in fact be built, rather than have just this one b i uilt and none of the ones that you may had that are Waiting, I believe we have no choice but to oppose Amendment No. 4. PRESIDENT ROCK: All right. Further discussion on the adoption of Amendment No . 4? Senator Raica, you wish to close? SENATOR RAICA: Very briefly. I'd like to, you knowy apologize to Senator Demuzio and Senator Carroll. Wedve tried everything in the district. We tried to -- to have the tollway authority buy that school: but they were only going to 'offer like a hundred and forty-five thousand, a hundred and fifty thousand for the school. The kids in that neighborhoody the parents, you know, have al1 ' rallied. There were meetings with over three hundred parents trying to at least do something to either move the school or -- or have the tollway stop what theylre doing in that particular area. And -- and nothing worked. This is 2.2 million. I meanz you needed something for your district/ l was there, Uncle Bob needs something for his district, I hope you could be therey and I'd just ask for a favorable vote.

Thank you very much, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22z 1992 Amendment No. 3 to House Bill 3182 appropriates one hundred and fifteen thousand two hundred dollars for probation service grants to -- to the McLean County Juvenile Detention Center. You may j recall when we passed this legislation a couple of years ago, . mandating by -- by federal order the -- the juvenile detention centers, we agreed, in -- in language, to pay for the operations. It's my understanding that some of these are already being paid I for. There will be some subsequent ones where the cost Will be borne by the Statey and I would move for the adoption.
Al1 right. Senator Maitland's moved the adoption of Amendment No. 3 to House Bill 3182. Discussion? Senator Carroll.
Why, thank you, Mr. Presidentz Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I guess I must say that I am shocked, appalled and dismayed that there would be add-on to the Governor's budget without a revenue stream to go with it, coming from that side of the aisle. We know of no revenueqstreams to pay for this, and I do not believe it was in the Governor's budget. We are trying to reduce spending, because the Governor's revenue stream does not l seem to be holding up - seems to be falling down the river by ' about three hundred and fifty milllon dollars. And I know Senator Maitland is crying crocodile tears, but I think there is no ( revenue to support this. This would be an add-on, and unfortunately, we must oppose it at this time.

32 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 Amendment No. 4 offered by Senator Keats.
Senator Keats.
This amendment removes 2.3 million dollars from the budget. This removes 2.3 million dollars. As you may be aware, the l60 North Lasalle Building - the o1d State of Illinois Center - is being completed not yet, but at approximately five hundred percent cost overrun, when the Legislature, on three separate occasions, bipartisanly - under Senator Luft's leadership and mine - removed that budget three consecutive times. It was snuck in, in early Julyz without the Legislature being allowed to vote. Well, now, at a five-hundred-percent cost overrun -- even at that, the agreement was, it was to include the furnishings and al1 the other things. That was the assurance from the Governor at the time. The building will be completed without any of that material. This is money that would transfer -- be added to their budget in crder to establish furnishings that were orlginally to have been in the budget: to put in other material that was originally scheduled to be there. It is new money. It has nothing to do with day-to-day operations, and in no way impedes the operation of the courts, should we wait until the building is completed to see whether or not this material is needed. I would request your assistance in taking this 2.3 million of what is in reality an add-on, out of the budget, for a building not yet completed, that's five hundred percent over budget, and this material was to have been in the original budget, and that was the agreement from the Governor at that time.
Senator Keats has moved the adoption of Amendment No . 4 to House Bill 3182. Discussion? Senator Carroll.
33 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 ' Thank you: Mr. Presidentv Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate . l ' I know Senator Keats would prefer to remove the Supreme Court, than just their move money, but the Constitution prohibits that. The fact is that the Supreme Court is moving. The five hundred percent increase over budget is accurate, as far as I know. It is accurate because the administration failed to produae the building in a reasonable fashion. It's not the -- it's not the Supreme Court's fault that the administration was unable to deliver a buildin: ln a reasonable fashion. The fact of the matter is, however, that the Court is to move out of the Daley Center into this buildinq. The building, We are advised, Will be ready. The furniture and fixtures that they had been using in the Daley Center belong to the Public Building Commission as the owner of the Daley Center, not to the courts. So, they have no choice but to leave and to leave absent the type of furnishings necessary to function. And like everybody else who 's moving, there have to be some accommodations madez but unlike the others, they do not have furniture that they oWn to take with them, so that this Would actually be making it ineffective, because the eourt could not function, absent certain furniture. And I would suggest that this is just one of those ill-timed amendments that's aimed at destroying the Court, and the court system, rather than the move, and I Would urge its defeat. PRESIDENT ROCK: Further discussion? Senator Schaffer. SENATOR SCHAFFER: Let me suqgest tc you that in this very tight budget yeary wefve heard a 1ot of talk about perks and privileges. We've -- had seen directors shish kebabbed in front of your committee for having the audacity to put up new carpeting or something. We fve seen people lambasted for taking junkets to Peoria. And here is the sinqle bigqest perk in the budget today. The Court can take a 34 éTATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 little heat. They can hold off their move for a few months. This is two million dollars. It is the single biggest perk and privilege in the State budget, and if you guys want to vote against it, then I hope youfll stop using the term ''perk and privilegeyn because you were on board for the most blatant abuse in this document. PRESIDENT ROCK: Furkher discussion on Amendment No. 47 Senator Keats, to close. SENATOR KEATS: Thank you, Mr. President. I'm requesting a roll call vote. PRESIDENT ROCK: Ohz really? You wanted me to eall the Speaker? SENATOR KEATS: You may do as you please: Mr. President. I don't know. If what Senator Carroll had described were accuratez Ifd be voting with Senator Carroll. Unfortunately, as he described, it Was completely inaccurate. 0ne of the probably the largest cost overrun in the entire building was because the Supreme Court came in and put in personal bathrooms and quarters and the whole Works. They have designed a facility lf youdve toured the bullding as 1 have, youfll see it's a little bit of a Taj Mahal up there. They had Warked on so many changes and so many overruns, finally CDS told them , 'IDon't call us anymore. We don't want to talk to you. Your budget's so far over: you've thrown the entire building out of whack.' l That is what the major reason thaE these furnishings are not in. This is not operational money. It has no effect on the operations of the Court whatsoever. They have exaellent offices they can work out of at this moment here in Springfield or in Chicago. This is a perk - unnecessary, unrequired - and the overrun for these areas was clearly brought about by the Court's need to build a very opulent chambers that 35 Yr STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 are unrelated to tbeir needs. And again, the original estimates of what they would cost - the largest overrun in a builéing that's j five hundred percent cost overrun - the largest overrun is the new i I Court chambers. I would appreciate your affirmative vote to remove this pork barrel and unnecessary perk from the budget. 1

Senator Schuneman.
52 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 Senator: the committee amendment merely changed the reference in the bill to use as a description of which vehicles are going to be involved in the prohibition of radar detectors. However, what Wedre doing now, Senator: is moving the bill to 3rd Reading. There will be an agreed amendment that will be added to this bill. So We intend to bring the bill back and offer that amendment at that time.

53 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Amendment No. 1 -- Floor Amendment No. l re-creates, really, what was House Bill 2865 that came out of the House 1l5 to nothing. It seems that Amtrak has made a decision - and made a decision six months ; to a year ago - that we are going to have some kind of rail corridor from Chicago to Atlanta, particularly for the 1996 Olympics. Now, that corridor can either go through the east side of Illinois to Evansville, Terre Haute and Atlantae down through Kankakee: Danville, or that corridor is goinq direcily from Chicago to Indianapolis to Atlanta. What this amendment does is to put us into a compac't with the states of Georgia, Tennesseer Florida, Indiana, to allow, at least, for us to opt into that compact. The amendment is drafted with the approval - quite frankly, it's their language - of the Department of Transportation, to be sure that the State of Illinois is not obligatedy at this point in timer to spend any money on -- on developing this corridor. But hopefully, by us opting into this compact, it will at least give us a -- a provision or a -- a methodology of -- of possibly obtaining that corrldor down through east central Illinois. That's what this amendment does, and I Would move for its adoption.

Senator Weleh.
Thank you, Mr. President. What Amendment No. 2 does is that 61 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 it amends the Underground Storage Tank Fund Act. The way it does that is it allows for the costs of removing underground storage tanks, if they were installed after July 28, of 1989 and they were operated in accordance with rules adopted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal, in which case a ten-thousand-dollar deductible fee would be allowed. In addition, What the bill does is clarify and set out exactly what is meant by a handling charge. A handling charge is a cost that are allowed to contractors and subcontractors Who work on removing and cleaning up underground storage tanks. Instead of a flat fifteen percent, Which has been the rule, what this amendment is going to do is set up a sliding scale of fees, beginning at twelve percent and going down to two percent. I'd be glad to answer any questions.

Thank you: Mr. President. This is the stalking bill. This comes over as a product of much negotiation in the House and in the Senate. want to commend Representative Homer and Representative Daniels, and in particular our Senate staffs, for 65 STATE OF ILLINOIS I 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY i REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT ' I 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 l the -- the work that theydve done for this bill. This bill creates the offense of stalking. It deals with the problem that we have seen for years as -- as state's attorneys, and unfortunately there have been several highly publicized examples of women, in particular, who have been victimized by a system that is currently unable to guard their lives. Youdve a11 read about the situations where a woman receives death threats or other threats, and then in furtherance of that threat, is followed, is stalked, where the -- the aggressor follows and harasses, and unfortunately, in some instancese despite the pleas of the victim, who has gone to police and to the state's attorneys, the current system has been unable to protect their lives. We've seen examples in other states, and unfortunately, we've seen examples in the State of Illinois. This bill would provide that the offense of stalking is committed when a person transmits to another person a threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable apprehension of deathz bodily harm, sexual assault, confinement or restraint, and in furtherance of that threat, knowingly follows the person other than Within the residence of the defendant, places the person under surveillance and the like. Stalking would be a Class 4 felony; ln a second or subsequent eonvictlon, would be a Class 3 felony. Wedve also created the offense of aggravated stalking, where the person, in committing the offense of stalking, causes bodily harm to the victim, confines or restrains the victim, or violates a temporary restraining order, order of protection, or injunction. Sentence for aggravated stalking is a Class 3 felony, and a subsequent offense, a Class 2 felony. This bill has been the subject of much negotiation. The bill in the Senate Judiciary 'Committee under Senator Dunn -- co-sponsor Dunn, adopted some suggestions of Senator Berman and otherwise, and I think, with the amendments, has removed tùe opposition. We passed a similar bill that is now in the House and pending in the House, and it will be in identical 66 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 form to this bill. I'd be happy to answer any questions; otherwise I would ask for your affirmative vote in passing House Bill 2677, as amended, to try and deal with this problem of offering protection to people who currently we are unable to protect.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Lady from Dupageg Senator Fawell. END OF TAPE TAPE 2
Thank -- thank you very much, Mr. President. I originally offered this bill in the Senate because of two episodes in my district. 0ne involved the murder of a young girl and her fiance, Who had been constantly stalked by a young man in my districtz who followed them up to Wisconsin and killed both .of them as -- as they were standinq pleading for their lives. The second incident was a case of a young woman whp had left an abusive husband and became involved with a young man from Glen Ellyn. The abusive husband stalked the young man and finally killed him, the day before his twenty-sevenkh birthday, by bashing his skull in with a baseball bat. If any of you had read the letters from the parents that I received, you Would know hoW important this bill is to pass. 1, too, would like to commend both the staff and certainly Senator Hawkinson, for a11 the work that he 's done on this: and Would strongly urge an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Hudson, please. 67 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992
Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates hefll yield.
Senator -- Carl, generally...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson.
Senator, generally -- generally when -- when one thinks of stalking, one thinks perhaps incorrectly of -- of someone on foot. I ! I thi I nk this is a good bill; I intend to vote for it. But the ! question came across my mind as to what provisions might be in the 1 ! bill for stalking by -- by vehicle. Let's say some ' body pulls up I j alongside of you and -- or anyonez and offers a threat and then 1 . I you pull away and that person follows you or follows a woman or j ! whatever, or in effect, stalks somebody by -- by vehicle. What I j does the bill have to say in regard to that? .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Hawkinson, please. SENATOR HAWKINSON : ' I There's no limitation in the bill to stalking by any mode of transportation. So someone who stalks by vehicle -- your example: however, might not fall within there, if it's just a situation between strangers. There has to be not only a threat, but there has to be surveillance or following on at leas: two separate occasions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schaffer.
Senator, I think you have a very good bill, and I fully intend to support ity and urge everyone else to support it. But as I 68 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legkslative Day June 22, 1992 understand it# what wedre trying to do is stop people from following and harassing and threatening people. Does this bill apply to lobbyists? think we ought to get this...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schaffer.
That's it. My...
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Your time was up, I guess. Senator Hawkinson, to close.
Thank -- thank you, Mr. President. Would clarify one other part of the bill. I mentioned the suggestions of Senator Berman and others on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which have been incorporated herein. want to emphasize that, with regard to the pretrial detention, which may take place in limited circumstances under this bill: that the authority for this pretrial detention in no Way attempts to expand upon the constitutional amendment. The authority is drawn from the Illinois Supreme Court precedent in the Elrod case, and is limited to those kinds of situations where itls necessary to prevent the fulfillment of a threat. Again, would like to thank the people Whodve Worked so hard on this bill: the co-sponsor: Senator Fawell, who has authored the Senate version of this bill, and ask for your affirmative vote, so that We can offer protection where we currently can't offer it today: and perhaps down the road save lives of some Women and others who are now currently being threatened and stalked and unfortunately, in certain situations, killed, before the intervention of the criminal justice situation is noW permissible. This bill, think, will give us another tool to deal with that kind of tragic circumstance, and I ask for your affirmétive vote.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) 69 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 ; The question is, shall House Bill 2677 pass.

Read the bill, Madam Secretary.
House Bl11 2679. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Readin: of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Holmberg.
Thank youz Mr. President. This is a bill concerned with students who live on military bases attendtng neighboring school districts that should be affected by impact aid and are not entirely supported by that. Highland Park and North Chicago School Districts have sought unsuccessfully for several years to have the Federal Governmenk pay a larger share of the cost of educating students who live either in Fort Sheridan and -- or the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Each of these districts recekves roughly two thousand one hundred dollars per military pupil, but spends two to three to five times that amount educating each pupil. Where a sehool district is contained within the ' Federal Base, as in Fort Knox, the Pederal Government pays some five thousand dollars per pupil. With this billg Which allows a school board, or a majority of registered voters who have filed a petition, to remove the territory of a military base from the school district, they are challenging the Federal Government to begin to spend more per pupil to help these school districts educate their students. Although the bill passed very easily in 70 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 the House - l04 to 4 - We placed a Berman amendment on the bill, which requires the new military base school district to pay tuition and send its students to the school districts which had previously been educating the students, and requires those districts to educate those students until the Federal Government makes other arrangements. I think with this amendment on the bill, not only do we challenge the Federal Government to do somethingz but we have provided for the needs of those students when and if it does happen. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? The Lady from Lake, Senator Geo-Karis.
Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, I concur With the remarks of Senator Holmberg. And -- North Chicago happens to be in my district, and the schools there have been suffering. And I certainly support this bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Gentleman from Cook, Senator Keats.
Thank you, Mr. President. I rise in support of this bill. The major problem here -- actually it's from my district. Two of the four districts that are h1t heavily by the failure to pay impact aid are in my district: the Fort Sheridan and Glenview Naval Air Station bases. The original bill, as it came from the House , if someone's contacted you, truthfully was a bill that did no* merit support. What we simply did was throw military kids out of the public school system. That was unreasonable. Senator Berman, to his credit as Chairman of the Education Committee, offered a very reasonable amendment to make sure these children would be educated: since the failure of the Federal Government to pay is not the fault of the children or their parents. It is the fault of the Federal Government. With the amendment from Senator 71 i STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 Berman, and the work of the Senate sponsor, it's a very reasonable piece of legislation that will say to the Federal Government, f'Why areyoupayingIllinoistwothousandastudent,andyetpayTexas, j Kentucky and Georgia five thousand a student?''

Representative Klemm and I have Worked very hard with the unions. The Teamsters are alright on this bill now. The Illinois Federation of Labor have withdrawn their objections. This is an excellent bill. This allows private citizens to do what we do in forty-seven other states - to adopt a section of highway and be responsible for 1t. There are -- of course, this is for litter only. This is not mowing. This is not removing carcasses. This is not doing anything that could be of danger to these people.

Mr. President, thls bill amends the Revenue Act, at the request of the County Treasurers, to allow county treasurers, at the request of any municipalityy to include in a tax sale notice the amount of any unpaid municipal lien and associated costs and interest. It allows the county treasurer to retain a ten-percent collectian feee simply when theylre selling off back-tax property. If for instance, a municlpality had a fee in there for cutting weedsg rather than have two separate lawsuits involved, this allows it a11 to be done rather efficiently. I'm -- I think there 's no opposition. It's a good idea.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. House Bill 3005 came over here, Which -- Which was basically a combination of seven House bills that were a11 assigned to the Mental Health Committee. They included bills sponsored by Representative Woolard, Novak and three by -- administration bills by Representative Daniels. The only -- and by the way, what those bills did was to involve -- providing changes with regard to the procedures for denying mental health services; the establishment of a Quality Care Board within the Office of the Inspector General; the creation of a police and security force by the Department of Mental Health; changes in the membership of the Planning Council on Development Disabilities; and then also a measure dealing with the transport of mental health patients, who are also known as recipients. That was the only part that was controversial. We sat down with the Sheriffs' Associationz as Well as mental health providers, and worked out an agreed bill, which deals with the transportation of mental health patients. I'd be happy to answer any questions. It is an agreed bill now and does contain measures sought for by the administration, and I would urqe an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Could we have your attention, please? Thank you. Senator Hawkinson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Indicates he'll yield.
Could you explain for us what the agreement is on the 84 E i : STATE OF ILLINOIS j 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 transportation? Our analysis simply indicates that sheriffs may decide to transport someone, and if they donît, I'm wonderin: who's going to. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Cullerton. SENATOR CULLERTON: Well, the current law is that the sheriff has the obligation to transport. The way the bill came over, it said that the sheriff shall -- or, I'm sorry -- changed its from ''shall'' to ''may''. So what We did was basically say still -- the obligation still resides with the sheriff up until the time of a court proceeding, and at the court proceeding, the sheriff can make their case and argue that someone else be ordered to transport. So that part doesn't really change, but we do say though, We put in the Statute that the sheriff can make arrangements with another public or private entity, including a licensed ambulance service, to transport the respondent. We also say that the respondent and the estate of that respondent are liable for the payment of the transportation costs. So we give an opportunity for -- although it would probably be in rare cases or limiEed cases where you can get reimbursed from the patient or their estate. And that's basically It just gives the sheriffs -- they weren't asking for much, and we -- and just gives them the opportunity to go to court and say, ''Why doesn't somebody else do it?'' They they have agreed to this amendment. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? The question is# shall House Bill 3005 pass. All in favor, vote Aye. All opposed, vote Nay .

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Gentleman from Bond, Senator Watson.
Yes. Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3070 is has three provisions, a11 of which are sponsored and supported by the 86 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 regional superintendent of schools. It requires petitions for school district boundary changes to be filed with the regional board of sehool trustees of -- of the region where the regional superintendent exercises control over the school district from which the territory is to be detached. The second provision Would allow for regional superintendents to make themselves eligible for grants, loans and assistance programs offered by the State Board of Education to local school districts. In many cases wefll have a cluster of schools in a particular regional superintendentls district that may want to go together and get involved in a drug program or early childhood program, and this will enable the reqional superintendent to apply for that grant. It also allows the regional superintendent to seek reimbursement from the State Board for a criminal background check charges incurred by the regional superintendent's office. The reason for this particular legislation, or thls provision, is when you have a substitute teacher that may qo from school district to school district, this will enable the regional superintendent to do that background check and hopefully save some local dollars. I know of no opposition; otherwise, be glad to answer any questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any discussion? Senator Sehaffer.
If the Senator would yield for a question. A number of years ago we had several pieces of legislation that dealt With controversial issues in terming -- attempts to -- for districts to have particles deannexed removed from them. And you appear to be undoing the compromise that Was worked out. And -- and the concern we had was: in some casesz a school district will reach over into another county, or a portion of that school district, and -- and you have the regional school board that represents another county over, making the decision on boundaries within the 87 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 county -- Wtthin another county. And We we wanted to get it away from that. We wanted the regional superintendent and the regional board that was elected by the people in the area to make the decision on the boundary. If I interpret -- if interpret your language, you've undone that. Am right?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson, to respond.
What this does is simply changes the -- the place in whkch the petitions will be filed, but it doesnft necessarily impact to the level that you're -- you're discugsing. But it would also, even though -- I mean, both -- both particular regions, when you have a regional superintendent from one region in which a county transpkres over knto the next regkonal superintendent, the -- both would be involved, but We're not asking them -- a11 wedre asking is that those petitions be filed in the -- in that particular regional superintendent's office. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Schaffer.
Well, if I'm interpreting what I'm hearing from my learned colleaque and from staff, simultaneously, this does at least partially undo that compromise in that it does, in fact, in that situation, remove the school board that elected -- that the people would elect, from the -- the sole decision-making process. It sort of intrigues me# because that was a compromise after the regional superintendents and the regional boards objected to multi-county participation. If I recall their logic last time, the situation youdve now set up might eonceivably involve three or four regional school boards making a decision, and the problem is, to get a11 of those boards together is almost impossible to 9et a quorum of a11 the boards at one meeting, therefore making it 88 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 practically impossible to do an annexation. I think this is a : case of the regional superintendents having very little to do, and so they keep redoing things and undoing things. I have no objection to the rest of the bill, but I think we are getting away from the concept of the reqional board that elects -- that the people elect, having the control over the boundary in their area . And I think that's what started the Ameriean Revolution a couple of hundred years ago.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Any further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
Senator Watsonr I was listening to what -- Senator Schaffer was saying. Is that true?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson.
Concerning the American Revolution?
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
No, about undolng this arrangement that had been struck previous.
PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson.
Well, that's not the intent of what we 're trying to do here. What we 're trying to do is give those districts that are being detached an opportunity to be a part and a participant in the process. I realize that maybe there's some areas in which therelll be some dispute between regional superintendents, or possibly even school boards and the administration, but what We want to do is give them the opportunity, for those districts in 89 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 those areas that are impacted, to have -- to be involved in the PrOCeSS. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) ! There's a lot of lights up here. Senator Hall. I'm sorry. Senator Demuzio, you finished?
Well, now IIm thoroughly confused. I was wondering if maybe you could take this out of the record for, you know, maybe a day or so, we could clear it up.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson.
Well, What 's your confusion, Senator?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Demuzio.
Well, I Was of the same argument that Senator Schaffer was, and so, you knowz I'm sort of confused as to where we are at the moment.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson.
Well, I don 't know of -- of any opposition. No one has contacted me. The regional superintendents -- Well. he 's -- he's leaving anyway.

He'11 be back . This (s something that regional superintendents have asked to be pursued. I see no reason necessarily to take this out of the record at this particular point in time. I mean, if there is considerable opposition, we'11 90 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22y 1992 certainly be glad to do it, but I -- one Member of the General ' Assembly or two Members of the Senate in opposition isn 't a great deal of concern at this point. PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENKTOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Berman. Senator Berman. SENATOR BERMAN: Thank you, Mr. President. I dongt thànk -- Senator Schaffer, it's my impression that the purpose of this bill Was not to undo what youdre referring to. Let me make two sugqestions to the sponsor, who has been very cooperative and -- (a)y you could take it out of the record. Number two, there's an amendment on here. If there's a commitment that -- that the bill would be non-concurred in -- in the amendmenk, and we can put the clarifying language Eo that Wedre not undoing it. My understanding was tbat to facilitate the -- the use of the regional superintendents, essentially Downstate, to get funds for multi-county programs was the purpose of the bill. I think you still have the requirement of convening -- of the meetings and the petitions. I -- you know, I -- I don't think so - that -- that what the bill does affects what you dre concerned about. But to satisfy it, you can either put it into a conference committee, or we could take it out of the record. I -- I think there's only -- there may only need to be some clarifying language to do what Senakor Watson wants to do without undaing what you were concerned about. So take either one of those suggestions. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: Why don't we take it out of the record? I Wish somebody Would have mentioned that earlier. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) At the request of the sponsor, it's taken out of the record. 91 !

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR LECHOWICZ) The Gentleman from McHenry, Senator Schaffer.
Mr. President, this bill is at the request of the Department of Financial Institutions, and it extends the current presumption of abandonment of intangible property, i.e. securities and uncollected dividends from stock. It -- it's an attempt to strengthen Illinoisl claim to a rakher significant number of dollars of unclaimed property that has been shipped by transfer agents and others to New York and other states, such as Delaware. There's currently a -- a major one-billion-dollar lawsuit going against NeW Xork involving forty-one other states, including Illinois, and welre, frankly, trying to strengthen our hand to :et our share of whatever number of dollars comes out of that lawsuit. In addition, there is an amendment on the bill which is, in effect, a trailer for Senate Bill 1949, which was the Pension Fund acceleration of unclaimed property from seven years down to five. Rather khan potentially jeopardize that very important piece of 94 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 legislation, we agreed to put this amendment on at the request of Representative Currie in the House, which further tightens up some of the requirements of the -- or on the Department of Financial Instktution, as it relates to some of that unclaimed property' . I'd be happy to answer any questions from anyone except Senator Watson.

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This is a two-part bill. The first part comes from the suggestion of the Grundy County State's Attorney, requesting the legislation to clarify that being an intoxicated driver need only be a cause, and not the specific cause, of great bodily harm that resulted in an accident, before that drlver can be charged with a felony DUI. The second part of the bill deaks with the fact that because of the new census in Illinois, there would be - but for this bill - a change in the number of allowable judges fQr the 10th Circuit, which is the Peoria area, as well as in Cook County. And so what this does is to allow for the same number of judges in those two districts to remain the same. Be happy to answer any questions, and ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Keats.
Thank you, Mr. President. The seeond amendment mentioned was the reason we defeated this bill last year in the Senate, or a very similar provision. What this does for associate judges -- Cook County has lost population; therefore, on paper, we should lose associate judges. Now, no one really thinks that's a particularly good idea, because of our caseload, but What this amendment does is circumvent the district system. With this amendment, a11 those associates remain the same. What wedve been trying to do is put more judges out into the subdistricts in Cook 97 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 County, so that they Would be elected like judges in every other part of ehe Staee. Cook County has a unique system, where the majority of our judges are associate, not elected. The point of that being that they are attempting to avoid the scrutiny of the public. As you may remember in '89 and '91, the Illinois Legislature passed bills to be sure that al1 those judges Would be elected in circuits - again, wedre expanding out over timq but more importantly, new associates -- we thought we had a verbal agreement with the Speaker that a1l new associates would be in the circuits. Now, wbat this amendment does is guarantees that we protect the number of associates, or total number of judges in Cook County, but is very careful to be sure they are not elected, but are simply hand-pieked. That's the process that welve been trying to get away from in Cook County for some time. Cook County is the only major circuit where the majority of the judges are associates, not elected. This will continue that. We are trying to get these judges -- if we're to have an elective system, then let's elect these judges and quit hiding them under this associate label. is not done anywhere else, and this would guarantee that they would not be minority judges. It would guarantee they would remain as part of the same group that's there today.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SZNATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? If not, Senator Cullerton may close.
Well, the previous speaker, I believe, I understand where that person's coming from. And 1'11 wait till he listens to my explanation before he gives his thumbs down to the rest of his colleagues. If we donft pass the bill, the census is such that we will lose, statutorilyy an associate judge for Cook County. That is not and Peoria, by the Wayz which is also covered by this bill. Now, let's focus on your objection though, in Cook County. 98 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENEPAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 That means that that associate is lost - not available to be put into the subdistricts, which is where you want them to go. Follow me? It's not available. It's statutorily gone. Now, as understand it, by passing the bill, allowing for that associate judge to remain there, then when that associate judge either retires or dies, then - the way the law works - it creates a new job in the subdistrict. So quite frankly, don't understand your opposition. Now, 1'11 tell you what 1'11 be happy to do. I will be happy to take the bill out of the record now: talk to you about it, since I know exactly what your -- your goal is - 'cause I think the goal is the same - and then -- and see if then we can call it. And if we can call it with an agreement, fine. If not, we can have the debate later. Out of the record, please.

Thank youe Mr. President, Members of the Senate. We did 103 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 discuss this bill earlier, and I took it out of the record to have some people answer some questions, which I hope are -- have been answered. This validates the tax levy and appropriation ordinances of the forest preserve districts in the State, as well as the County of Cook. And I think it's something which wedve done ever -- ever since 1965, I believe. So 1'11 be happy to answer any questions. Of course, the concern is to preempt the use of some nonsubstantive procedural objections as a basis of a suit challenging tax levies and extensions, and for that reason we ought to pass the bill. Be happy to answer any questions, and ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, Mr. President. I did ask the sponsor to take it out of the record. I have been assured that this is the last year that this questionable request will be made; that the reform president of the county board will, in fact, do what he was elected to do; and therefore identify what this appropriation is by line item , and not require the State to validate an action which, at best, is questionable, and at worst, is highly suspect.
PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Lechowicz.
Thank you, Mr. President. Very brieflyz for the edification of my good friende Senator DeAngekks: The county board wrote a letter to the State's Attorney, Jack O'Malley, requesting some guidance on this matter. And that Was done by Carl Hanson's committee. And he in turn wrote baek to us, informing us the best way to handle this is to have this bill passed. And this not only protects Cook County, but, as the -- the sponsor pointed out, it also helps the downstate forest preserve districts. I would hope 104 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 that -- we were hoping that we could do this by a county board actionz but the State's Attorney informed us the best way to handle this is to have this bill passed, the way it's been going on in the past.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he would yield. Senator Kelly.
Senator Cullertonz can you tell me what financial impact -- or how this would affect the taxpayers in Cook County? Let's say for example in Will County. Does it -- does it have any -- what's the impact for those -- overlapping counties?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Cullerton.
Well, it affects the Will County Forest Preserve Dlstrict by just saying that the tax levies for 1989 and 1990 are valid. And so it doesnlt increase the tax in any way; it just says that the levies that they have already approved are valid .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Kelly.
Is this -- is Ehis the bill -- or I heard there's a bill Where if people make purchases outside of the county that they have to pay taxes to the county of residence, as opposed to the county Where theyfre making their purchase. This any effect on that?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCHI Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3251 amends the Environmental Protection Act in the area of leaking underground storage tanks by providinq incentives for using alternative corrective action technologies to remediate leaking underground skorage tank sites. It also provides that notification to the Environmental Protection Agency that a leak oecurred on or after July 28th of 1989, shall be suffictent for the determination of the deductible applied towards reimbursement. So if you notified the EPA after that cutoff date, you can get into the fund the Self-insurance Pdnd, where you pay a ten-thousand-dollar deductible and then have your site cleaned up. also adds l06 ! STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Leqislative Day June 22, 1992 language to require reimbursement to the State for payments made to an individual for eligible remediation if that individual also I recovered those costs from another source. It allows the EPA to ' make a determination of eligibility for partial payment of the Work performed. And it limits the reimbursable amount to no more than two percent over the actual cost of work performed by a subcontractor: putting a limit on the amount of money taken out of the fund to take eare of other projects throughout the State of Illinois.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator -- further discussion? Senator Schuneman. SENATOR SCHUNEMAN: Thank you, Mr. President. This bill contains one provision khat I think is helpful, particularly in rural Illinois, probably throughout the State. But the provision that effectively would stop the Pire Marshal from ordering the removal of a tank Ehat has been taken out of operation prior to January of 1974: I think is a step in the right direction. There are many small communities throughout Illinois Where old petroleum tanks have been out of use for many, many years - really don't pose a threat l08 : STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 122nd Legislative Day June 22, 1992 to anybodyz but the way the Fire Marshal has been administering E the law, I think, in some casesz those tanks have been required to ' be removed at great expense to the properky owners.

Thank you very much, Mr. President and Members of the Senate. The changes in House Bill 3329 are necessary to bring ICC into compliance with its federal certification. It does several thkngs. It incorporates gas pipelines transmitting gas for direct sales to customers for the use under the authority of the Commerce Commission for purposes of safety. Further, it increases the fines for persons who violate inspection, maintenance, recordkeeping or report requirements to not more than ten thousand for each violation for each day it persists. Increases the maximum allowable fines for any related series of violations to not more than five hundred thousand dollars. I -- there may be a couple of questions that need to be asked on this bill, Mr. President. I would answer any questions; otherwise, would seek your support.

SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Well, I wanted to ask -- thank you, and I want him to add to his script. 0ur analysis says that the -- that the :as system operator's responsibility for safety would end at the master meter, instead of at the outside wall of the residential building.

Well, isn't that an abroqation of the responsibility for safety, when they cut down the area from the outside wall of the residential buildinq back to the master meter?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maitland.
Senator, this -- this is the system into the meter. The -- the responsibility ends there. It does not continue on through the meter into the rest of the system. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) ' Senator Geo-Karis.

House Bill 3485 deals with court security. The original bill eliminates the provision specifying the sheriff as the officer for Whom the court - - the county board may enact ordinances for a court servlces fee for providing court security. Sheriffs' Association had some problems with that, and Amendment No . 1 -- Committee Amendment No. l adds that the court serviees fee may be expended for any other court services deemed necessary for the sheriff to provide for court security. And I think that ended the Sheriffs' Association 's opposition. And then there was -- Amendment No. 2 adds two provisions. It adds that if the Office of the Coroner has been abolished in the county by referendum, and if the referendum did not provide for the performance by another person of the duties previously performed by the coroner, the sheriff of the county may be appointed to -- by the board to perform these duties. And it also raises the maximum amount that a county may indemnify a sheriff or deputy from one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, similar to other county organizations. I'd move for the passage, or Iîd attempt to answer any questions. PRESIDENT ROCE: Discussion? Any discussion? If not, the question is, shall House Bill 3485 paàs. Those in favor will vote Aye.

The exclusions have already been made for local units of governments, school districts, community college districts, and police and firefighters' pension funds.
