PRESIDENT PHILIP

.. . tmachine cutofflo..top of page 2nd Readings. Senate Bill 85. Senator Woodyard . Senator Woodyard, do you wish the bill to be read? Senator Klemm. Senate Bill 90. Do you Wish the bill read? The bottom of page 2, Resolutions. Senator Palmery for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR PALMER

A question of parliamentary procedure, Mr. President. I wanted to know what the procedure is for Floor anendments. Could you expound on that a little bit?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Thank you, Senator Palmer. As you know, Floor amendments Will 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 go to Rules Committee. I'm assuming, if it is just a technical amendment, the Rules Committee will probably put it back on to the Floor on 2nd Reading . If it is a detailed, controversial amendment, itfll probably go back to the committee where it Was -- where it should have been in the first place - where the bill originated from. Senator Palmer, for what reason do you rise?

SENATOR PALMER

Another question, please, on parliamentary procedure. I'd like to know what happens to the b111 in khat time. I'm concerned about the question of tracking between the amendment and the bill.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

The bill stays on the Order that it was on the Floor. The bl1l stays on the same Order that it Was on the Ploor. Senator Palmer, let me try to explain that. I think maybe I can answer your question. For some reason, Senator Barkhausen is not here today. We -- we -- We have always made it a a habit in the past that we don't call somebody's bill if the sponsor's not here. Now I'm assuming hefs going to be here sometime this week. When he was here We certainly Will -- will -- will allow you to put forth your -- your amendment. Senator Palmer, for what reason?

SENATOR PALMER

Thank you, Mr. President. I appreciate that. My question, thoughr is ln general. I see thaE Senator Barkhausen isnit here right now. But will the amendment -- will the -- the bill move without the amendment, in general, or will it remain in place in order for the amendment to catch up with it?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator, if you Would look at the rule book, page l2, Section 3.8 <sic> (3-8), and remind you that the sponsor of the bill traditionally has control of their bill. So if the sponsor does not Want to call their bill, of course, that's up to the sponsor. 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 Senator Demuzio, for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR DEMUZIO

As -- again, on this same parliamentary procedure. If -- if a Member files a amendment to a bill that is on 2nd Reading, that amendment, you claim, will then be referred to the Rules Committee. Does that bill then stay on the posture of 2nd Reading at such time as the flnal distribution has been made by the Rules Connittee?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

If you 'll renemberr the sponsor controls the bill. The sponsor controls the bill. And Whatever the sponsor wishes, We we normally have agreed. Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

So, in other wordsr that if a amendment is filed to a bill today, the Chair rules that that amendment must go to the Rules Committee, then -- then that sponsor can, in fact, move that bill to the Order of 3rd Reading without hesitation, without any parliamentary procedure of having to be -- the bill to be brought back to the Order of 2nd Reading, once it goes on 3rd, for the purpose of an amendment?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Demuzio, I would once again suggest yau look at page 12, 3-8, and -- and remind you that normally in the past around bere we allowed the sponsor and the person who has the amendment to work out those little problems. And, you know, if the sponsor does not want to consider that bill -- that amendment and move the bill without waiting for the person, well, there's not much I can do about that. Now normally We have extended those courtesies. Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

Well then, under your rules, any time a -- a bill comes to the Floor from committee, read into the record , appears on the 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 Calendar, Member files an amendment, the Presiding Officer then rules that amendment has to go to the Rules Committee, and the sponsor can, in fact, move the bill to the Order of 3rd Readinq; there's never an opportunity to amend a bill here.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

As you know that Rule 3-8 makes it automatic. It's automatically referred; it's not a ruling of the Chair. Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

understand that. But what my point is, is that once a bill is reported out of committee to the Floor of the Senate, it -- it is printed on the Calendar; any Member that Wishes to file an amendment may, in fact, do so; however, those amendments then are automatically referred to the Rules Committee. The sponsor can, in fact, then move his bill from 2nd to 3rd without an amendment and never bring it back, and therefore, there would never be an opportunity for any Member to offer an amendment here.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Mccracken, for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR MCCRACKEN

Mr. President, I wanted to address the Gentleman 's question.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Go right ahead.

SENATOR MCCRACKEN

The practice is unchanged of a sponsor controlling the bill. If, in the past -- if, in the past, a person's amendment Was not ready and the sponsor wanted to move the bill to 3rd Reading, he had the right to do so . Under the current rules, that right is retained .

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Jones, for what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR JONES

STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 Thank you, Mr. President. I believe What the Menbers on this side of the aisle were attempting to get clarification on, Which is something that is very basic, and that is simply this, Senator Mccracken: If an amendment is filed on a bill - I know our rules require that amendment to go to the Rules Committee - but if the amendment is filed, until the Rules Committee act, then that bill should remain on 2nd Reading. Now that is the question that is before us at this particular time, not whether the sponsor wants to go ahead and move the bill. It is -- once that amendment is filed and it goes to the Rules Committee, what you 're trying to tell us - I Want clarification on this point - that the -- that the bill can go ahead and move to 3rd Reading without action of the Rule Commlttee. Is that What youdre trying to say?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Mccracken.

SENATOR MCCRACKEN

A11 I'm saying is that the sponsor continues to control the bill, as has been the practice in both Chambers. That is unchanged. Mr. President, suggest we get off the order of dialogue and move on to the Senate 's business. do not believe the Chair is requlred to engage in this. The question has been answered; 1et us move forward.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Mccracken, your point is Well taken . Is there any parliamentary inquiry that the... Senator Jones.

SENATOR JONES

Thank you, Mr. President. surprised that the freshnan Senator from the House knows so -- much about the o1d practice the Senate. It has been the practice in the Senate, Senator Mccracken, that once an amendment is filed on a bill, that that bill automatically remains on 2nd Reading. That has been the practice. Now what you are saying to us, that if the amendment is 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 filed, and according to the Rules, it goes to the Rules Committee: then the sponsor can go ahead and nove the bill in spite of the fact that the amendment has already been filed . That has not been the practlce, Senator Mccracken. And so, thereforer wedre trying to get a clariftcation from you, Mr. President, that -- other words then, if the sponsor does not want to hold the bill, regardless of whether that bill Ksic> is filed and going to the Rules Committee, then -- then that bill can go ahead and move without the -- the action by the Rules Committee?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Jones, in the past and you -- you ought to remember khis that a person had a amendment and the sponsor did not like the amendment, the sponsor moved the bill. If the amendment wasn't ready -- oh. That -- that -- well, that's untrue. Senator Jones.

SENATOR JONES

Thank you, Mr. President. I see the Parliamentarian -- I don't know whieh one is giving you advice, but the one that I've known for a number of years knows that has not been the practice . And so, therefore -- only thing I'n saying ko you, Mr. President, I think the Members on this side of the aisle and believe the Menbers on your side of the aisle - those who want to be enlightened to this issue - what you 're saying then, that the Body itself - the Body cannot exercise its right to amend a bill. Other words, the individual Senator's right supersedes that of the Body. And so what I1m saying, Mr. President, is that -- can you make it clear to this Body not only this side of the aisle, but your Members on the other side of the aisle, equally as well - that a bill who has an amendment filed to on 2nd Reading, that until the Rules Committee act, that bill should remain on 2nd Reading until such time as the Rules Committee act because the amendment would have been filed. 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Jones, once -- once again - I've been around here as long as you have - we have in the past when we got ta 2nd Readings, somebody had an amendment at the last minute that was not ready and the sponsor wanted to move that bill, they moved that bill. Now you know that, and I know that. You know what? We're just going to go...tmachine cutoffl...we're just going to go right ahead to Resolutions. Mr. Secretaryy Resolutions. Bottom of page 2. Senator Topinka. Senate Resolution 78.

SENATOR TOPINKA

Yes. Mr. President, just a point of -- of parllamentary inquiry. I am the joint sponsor on this resolution, and in lieu of Senator Raica's surgery and convalescence, I Would like to move that. Is that within the boundaries of the Rules, and am I able to do so?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Normally the main sponsor controls that bill. I Would sugqest that -- that we wait till tomorrow. A11 right? Senator Topinka, are you -- what are you golng to do with 78?

SENATOR TOPINKA

Yes. Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen of the Senate, Senate Resolution 78 urges the Emergency Management Agency to convene an Emergency Management Advisory Committee of the Illinois - - well, to study the Emergency Operations Plan in the State here and any changes which should be undertaken to facilitate additional coordination between the Emergency Management Agency and local governments and other entities, which would include a promotion of a greater understanding of the responsibilities of each. This is an attempt to get all of the various agencies, municipalities, counties, jurisdictions - any one who has anything to do with emergency operations in this State - to come up with a coordinated plan. know of no opposition. We 've worked with the 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 Emergency Management Department -- Agency, and everyone seems to be signed off on thls.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Any discussion? Senator Fawell.

SENATOR FAWELL

Thank you very much. Will the sponsor yield for a question? Senator Topinka, I've been approached by some people in Dupage County who have sone problens with the Springfield Office on how emergencies are to be handled and managed, and there is a question of -- of the authority and -- and the use of volunteers. Will this also be addressed in your -- in your commission?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Topinka.

SENATOR TOPINKA

Yes. Senator Fawell, it is not precluded. This is wide open in terms of coming up with the best and most coordlnated emergency and disaster plan for the State of Illinois. So I don 't see any problem with what youdre suggesting.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Any further discussion? Senator Topinka, to close .

SENATOR TOPINKA

I would just seek a favorable roll call.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Thank you. Senator Topinka moves the adoption of Senate Resolution 78. All those in favor, signify by sayin: Aye. Those opposed, Nay. Ayes have Resolution is adopted. Senate Resolution 79. Senator Watson. Senator Watson. Oh -- excuse me. Read the resolution, Mr. Secretary.

Harry (surname or first name uncertain)

Senate Resolution 79, offered by Senator Watson.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Watson, on your resolution. 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993

SENATOR WATSON

Thank you, Mr. President. This particular resolution has been adopted in this Body before, and due to reporting dates, was unable to be heard and complied with. But this particular resolution, what it will do is -- the nursing hone industry is inundated with inspections from various State agencies - the Fire Marshal, the Department of Transportationy the Department of Public Aid, the Department of Mental Hea1th: the Department of Public Hea1th - constantly coming into these nursing homes and it and asking them to comply with the regulations of the State. What wefre trying to do here is give the nursing homes a little relief in saying that maybe we just ought to have one agency come in and do an annual inspection so that they could comply with the regulations of both the State, and possibly even the federal government. What's happing is sometimes...

PRESIDENT PHILIP

May we have a little order, please?

SENATOR WATSON

What's happening out there in the nursing homes is, a State agency will come in one day and tell them they have to do one particular requirement, and the next day, or two weeks later, another agency will come in and do an inspection and ask them to redo what one agency has already done. This is actually happening. We need some consistency; we need some continuity. And we dre asking that these people from the various agencies get together and come up with a plan in which possibly just one inspection would be done. Be glad to answer any questions; otherwiser Mr. President, appreciate your favorable support.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Any discussion? Senator Welch. On the resolution, that Senator Welch. Senator Welch hiding somewhere? He has got his light on. Any questions on this resolution? 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993

SENATOR WELCH

Yes.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Thank you, Senator Welch . Go right ahead.

SENATOR WELCH

Pardon me. We 've got a 1ot to talk on. Senator Watson, I had a question. Who is going to be on this committee? How many members is it going to be? Is it going to be leglslators? Are they going to be paid? Is this going to be a new commission? What's this going to be?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Watson.

SENATOR WATSON

Yes. Thank you, Senator Welch. They Will the committee will consist of ten members. The President and Minority Leader of the Senate would appoint two Members of the General Assembly. The Governor would appoint a representative of the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Public Aid, Department of Aging, the Department of Public Health, Department of Transportation, and the Fire Marshal's Office.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Welch. Any other discussion on Senate Resolution 79? On the resolution, Senator? On the resolution? Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

Yes. I'd like to ask the sponsor a question, if I might.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Watson says he will yield .

SENATOR DEMUZIO

Does this require the expenditure of money? It says in the resolution that members of the committee shall serve without conpensatlon. That is pretty explicit, but there is money involved, and therefore -- at least in my judgement. Does this 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9: 1993 requlre the expenditure of State money for this new committee of ten members?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Watson.

SENATOR WATSON

Well, as you mentioned, the -- it's explicit, and it says that they will serve Wlthout compensation; the idea being that wedll possibly save money.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

Well, thank you very much for my explanation. The problem is, is that, does require the expenditure of money? I assume that telephone calls, posting noticer postage, things of that nature, that it does require travel, that it does require the -- the printing and -- and expenditure of dollars. And so the answer is is yes. Is that correct?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Watson.

SENATOR WATSON

Well, thank you. I would guess: as anything that we do here, the normal expenditures of -- of our actions would require some cost.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

Well, then, I'd like to point out that the last resolution that we just passed had the same language in and we were not afforded the opportunity of a roll call. So I question the legality of any expenditures with that last resolution. And I'm surprised that the Parliamentarian hasnlt advised the -- the Presiding Officer that any time that you do have an expenditure of 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 dollars, it requires a roll call of the Members elected. And so that -- that resolution and this resolution, in my judgement, therefore, both require roll calls.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

If you want a roll callr Senator, wedll give you a roll call. Any further discussion? There was not a request for a roll call for the last resolution. Senator Demuzio.

SENATOR DEMUZIO

I don't think it's it's a prerogative of me to -- or a Member to ask for a roll call. It does require the expenditure of - - of dollars of State money. And therefore, it seems to me, that as a natter of your rules, before you can spend any dollars With respect to any of the -- these commission or conmittees that are being established r it is absolutely necessary for a roll call. So I would ask for a ruling of the Chair as to whether or not this resolution and the resolution preceding, requiring the expenditure of money, or any resolution to be considered during this -- during this Session -- does in fact require a roll call if you are spending State dollars?

PRESIDENT PHILIP

On the question of Senate Resolution 79, the -- the -- the roll call is in order. The question is, shall Senate Resolution 79 be adopted. Those in favor will signify by voting Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting is open. The voting is open. The voting is open. Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 38, the Nays are voting Present. Senate Joint Ksic> Resolution 79, having received the required constitutional majority, is now declared passed. ...tmachine cutoffl...loint Isic> Resolution 80. Senator Topinka.

SENATOR TOPINKA

Yes. If I may ask a questionr to begin with. In light of the fact that Senator Demuzio has, ak least, suggested that a roll 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 call might be in order on Senate Resolution 27 <sicy (78), Which we earlier passed by a voice vote, Would I be Within -- would I be proper in asking that we hold a roll call on Senate Resolution 27 to -- or, I'm sorry -- 78, to make sure that lndeed it is proper and in keeping with what's going on here? If I may, Mr. President, I'd like to ask to reconsider Senate Resolution 78, Which was adopted by an oral roll call, so that I could request that a -- a regular roll call be taken.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Having voted on the prevailing side, Senator Topinka moves to reconsider Senate Joint Resolution -- Senate Resolution 78. Roll call is in order. A11 those in favor -- the -- the question is, shall Senate Resolution 78 be adopted Ksic>. Those in favor, signify by voting Aye. Those opposed, Nay . Voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? There are -- there are 30 Ayes, 2 Nays, 11 voting Present. Senate Resolution 78, having received the constitutional majority, is declared passed Ksicl. Now the Chair recognizes the Minority Leader: Senator Jones. For what purpose do you arise?

SENATOR JONES

Thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. And I -- I dondt like standing on this Floor shouting: trying to get you to recognize me. And and 1et me nake one thing crystal clear, Mr. President: As the Leader on this slde of the aisle, I'm sayin: it publicly, that if ny light is on on a given matter, you owe me the courtesyg the respect to recognize me as such. I was trying to get your attention. I know your -- your side of the aisle is neW at this, and when you attempted to pass a resolution that required the expenditure of dollars, it requires a roll call vote. It is not whether or not one Member on this side of the aisle, if they so wish to have a roll call vote. Any time we are expending State dollars, it requires a roll call vote. But I don't like having to 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 18th Legislative Day March 9, 1993 come to the Chair, nor do I like for you to Willy-nilly, at your discretion, decide on whether or not you want to recognize me. It is your duty to do such, and I respectfully request that in the future, if my light is on, don't force me to come to the Chair to request that you recognize me. Give me the same courtesy and respect that I Would give you on any given matter. Now the motion on what youdre talking about right now, was a motion to reconsider. I wanted recognition to have a verified -- have that roll call verified. But you cannot arbitrarily hit the gavel and not recognize Members on this side of the aisle. So, Mr. President, respectfully, since you have already erased -- I want verification on the motion to reconsider.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Senator Jones, your your comments will be noted. NoW the the motion Was to reconsider, which has been, as you know, passed. Now we are going to consider her -- her Resolution 78 once again. Senator Jones, for What purpose do you arise?

SENATOR JONES

request a verification on the motion to reconsider, a verification of the affirmative roll call.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

That that request will be in order. The Members Will be in their seats. The Secretary will read the affirmative vote. Mr. Secretary.
