4 STATE OP ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day May 27 r 1993 Thank youy Mr. President, Members of the Senate. I Would move to non-concur With the Senate <sic> amendment.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Any discussion? Senator Madigan.
Thank you, Mr. President. Question of the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Sponsor said he will yield. Senator Cullerton, you have a question coming your way. Senator Madigan.
Senator Cullerton, our understanding that this House Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 207 was and continues -- or was an agreed amendment by all parties. What makes that disagreeable at this point?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cullerton.
Well, that's -- that's not the case. The -- the -- the House amendment is really a technical amendment. The bill deals with adopted chlldren, and the bill did pass out of here with some language dealing with providing health insurance for adopted children. The -- the language that was approved in the Senate was changed in the House; there is no longer an agreement. And so it's my plan to not concur with that House amendment, put the bill in a conference committee, and then remove all of the language dealing with health insurance for adopted children. There stlll are some very important measures that should be passed, dealing with adopted children, that should be that we would include in a conference committee. As you know, I've already presented a proposed conference committee to you. It doesn't have anything in there about insurance for adopted children. So that's my intention, and I can state publicly that the conference committee, 5 STATE 0F ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 if approved by your committee, will not have any language in there about insurance for adopted children.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Madigan.
Thank you, Mr. President. And I thank Senator Cullerton for those remarks. However, I must stand in oppositlon to this motion to non-concur. The problems with this bill, as Senator Cullerton stated, can be addressed by an amendatory veto by the Governor. And think that's What We should do. I -- I don't see any reason to send this bill to a conference committee . The language changes that the Senator suggests can be handled very simply on an amendatory veto at the Governor's Office, and I'm sure will be handled, and I will be most happy to help Senator Cullerton in those efforts. But I would oppose this motion to non-concur and would ask that -- would ask for a roll call, and would ask that this motlon be defeated .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cullerton, do you wish to close?
Well, this is an interesting proposal. I should pass a bill that I'm not in favor of, so that the Governor can amend it, rather than have the Legislature amend it in a conference committee. It's -- -- it's kind of a unique idea. don't think it's a good idea. I have said -- maybe I should give some more on the background, in closing . This bill was proposed by some advocates for adopting -- adcpting parents. What they wanted to do was to make sure that if you adopted a child r you had your insurance policy would cover the birth -- the cost for the birth mother. The insurance industry opposed that, and they came up with an amendment. accepted the amendment, passed it over to the House; was modified in the House. And we had a meeting, 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 and we agreed that we could not agree. So the insurance portions will be removed from *he conference committee. However, there are still some very important measures that deal with adopting children that I wish to put in a conference committee, and that's a1l I1m asking for: to non-concur, to have the House refuse to recede, to go to a conference committee. So -- and lf we go to a conference committee, as you know, under our rules, it has to be approved by the committee. So you 've got total control over what's to be in or not in the conference committee. So for that reason, lt -- it's -- it's unfair to not be allowed to even have a proposed conference committee, by opposing the motion. So I would ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cullerton moves to non-concur in House Amendment No. 1 on Senate Bill 207. A1l those in favorr vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. The voting is open.

Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. When this resolution came up, it cane out of committee, and was on the Calendar the next day. By the time my secretary had filed -- or we filed the analysis, didn't have time to look at After reading today's paper and a few other things about 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 what's going on with O 'Hare Airport, I think something of this issue needs a little time. I spent the last two days reviewing this issue. It is an important issue and a big one, and I'd like to reconsider the vote, and that's my motion.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Butler.
Thank you, Mr. President. Iy too, rise in support of this in this motion. After having more than flve minutes to study What the resolution was a11 about, would say it -- it's a necessary and an acceptable first -- first step . So I would -- too, would urge reconsideration.

Mr. Presidenty may I ask Senator Butler a question, Who just spoke on this issue?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) If Senator Butler Will accept the question, but that's -- this is not his motion.
understand.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Butler. Senator Butler, is it okay?
Is this the bill to which you spoke so eloquently a couple of days ago, and that on your urging, voted No?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Butler.
Thank you very much for your compliment. Yes. It is the same motion. As I said just a minute ago, after giving more than five 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day May 27, 1993 minutes thought to it - whlch is a11 the time I had before - in doing some more detailed look at it -- take a detailed look at it, now agree that it -- it is a good first step .
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President. Could we get scme order, please? First, maybe? That's close, maybe the second one would do it. A little -- that was a little order, how about medium order? Okay. do have and will have a parliamentary inquiry. I'm -- -- my question, part, is, is this the appropriate time to make the parliamentary inquiry? And if it would like to go into detail on 1t.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Well, it would probably be more appropriate about 3:30 this afternoon, but I -- think you can make your inquiry now . Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President. We raised the same inquiry last time, and I think it's even more clear, now that we've done a little more research, that this is not appropriately before this Body as a matter of State law. I will refer you again to 605 ILCS, Sections -- 10/14 and then its subparts. 14 says, as its title, ''Additional toll highways-Approval by the Governor of proposed studyn. Then Section 14 begins with, the authority shall, shall - prior to the commencement of any engineering and traffic study or studies to determine the feasibility or construction of additional toll highways within the State of Illinois, submit to the Governor for his approval, the router routes, proposed for additional toll highways together with an estimate of the cost study or studies. If the Governor shall approve such proposed study or studies, the estimated thereof, or 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day ëaY 1993 fail to approve <sic> Within 30 days, the Authority may then proceed with the study. It then goes on -- to go through what the Authority has to do prior to issuance, and finalizes with prior to the issuance of any bonds, there shall be a joint resolution. So the first step by Statute - by Statute - is that the Authority shall go to the Governor with the plans and the estimates; then shall come to us. And if there's nothing in the record to indicate that the Authority has, in fact, gone to the Governor for approval of the plans and the cost estimatesr there is nothing that can be before the Senate. Secondly, and on a very different issue, is in fact, we have no cost estimates, how dare we even consider approving it?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Is that it, Senator Carroll? Would you like to repeat that? Now, I will give you a rulingr but let me remind you, Senator Carroll, we are voting on the motion to reconsider; we are not voting on the resolution. Senator Carroll.
That's why I asked your Mr. President, seriouslyy before, this was the appropriate time to do the parliamentary inquiryr or if you want it - should this motion be successful if you want it when they 're debating on the resolution. 1111 repeat it then or go into it briefly thenr if that's your preference.
PRESIDING OEFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Why don't we vote on the motion right now and then the motion prevails, We can then -- yau can very briefly restate your parliamentary inquiry. Okay? Senator Carroll.
Just a a brief, brief parliamentary inquiry: How many votes will this take?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Thirty. 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day May 27, 1993
Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Okay. Having voted on the prevailing sidey Senator Molaro moves to reconsider the vote by which Senate Joint Resolution 35 - - failed. Okay. Al1 those in favor, vote Aye. The opposed, vote Nay. The voting ls open. Have a1l voted Who Wish? Have a1l voted who wish? Have al1 voted who wish? Take the record . On that motion, there are 35 Ayes, 21 Nays, l voting Present. The motion prevails. Now, Senator Cronin, on the page 10 of the Calendar, do you wish your resolution considered? Senator Cronin. Yes. He does. Mr. Secretary, read the resolution.
Senate Joint Resolution 35, offered by Senator Cronin.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cronin.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. We debated this issue at length yesterday. We touched on scme of the points that were made just moments ago. I Would like to just memorialize my comments that were made yesterday, and ask for your favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Palmer.
Thank you, Mr. President. too, have looked at some information since we took this vote, and I would like to draw the Body's attention to a finding in a study of Illinois' State Toll Higbway Authority. On page 19 of the study, one finding is that the Authority did not comply with statutory mandates requiring set-asldes for minority- and female-controlled businesses, nor did it attempt to comply with these requirements. So I would suggest 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 that we not give them the right to do anything else until we take a good look at what they are already not accomplishing. And 1, too, would like to memorialize the statements that I made about this issue the other day. Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll.
Thank you, Mr. President. First, lf I may ask a question of the sponsor, Senator Cronin, and then I Will have an inquiry.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Sponsor says you can.
Senator Cronin, have we, in fact -- has the Authority, in fact, engaged in traffic study or studies to determine the feasibility of constructing this additional toll highway or extension thereof? And secondly - you might as well answer both at the same tlme - have cost estimates been submitted to the Governor and/or the General Assembly?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Crcnin.
Senator Carroll, know that there's been extensive discussion, and there has been revlew of this project. And I know that various schemes have been considered, and know that the Governor's Office is aware of this. We are proceeding with this resolution just as we have with many other resolutions. This is the first step, and this is no different than the way we have proceeded with respect to any other tollway project.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll.
Thank you. 1'11 -- 1,11 re-ask the question. The schemes, 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 know, are necessary at the tollway. The scheme was thirteen thousand dollars of tollway expense to do picnics and buy balloons and T-shirts. But as to the tollway itself - and I'm referring obvlously to the Auditor General's report on the tollway - the question is, as the Statute requiresr prior to commencement of any engineering - any engineering - and any traffic study, there must be submitted to the Governor submitted, not discussions, not schemes, not comments, submitted - a cost estimate of the proposal and of the studies for approval or disapproval by the Governor before any action can be taken. And my question to the sponsor is: Have those formal documents formal documents been submitted by the Toll Authority to the Governor, and if so: are copies available?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cronin.
Senator Carroll, with al1 due respectr you have your interpretation of the statutory language, and I have mine. With respect to this resolutionr we are complying with law , in that we are seeking authorizatlon by joint resolution of the General Assembly prior to the issuance of bonds. We 're merely complying with that statutory obligation.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll.
Maybe three is a charm. Regardless of how you or I interpret the Statute, my question was very different. My parliamentary inquiry will be to the Chair. The question was simply: Were these, in fact, submitted to the Governor? Are there cost estimates subnitted to the Governor at this point in time? And -- and I think the answer to that should be either yes or no. Were there formal cost estimates - whether required by Statute or not 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day May 27, 1993 in your opinion were there formal cost estimates submitted to the Governor and/or the General Assembly?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Cronln.
don 't know.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll.
At which pointr Mr. Chairman -- Mr. President, I would restate my parliamentary inquiry of the Chair. It is my reading the Statute, and particularly now that we have the ILCSS, and in the order in whicb the Statute is presented to the public, it starts off with -- that the Authority is authorized, but that prior to commencement of any engineerlng and traffic study or studies to determine feasibility - this is Section 10/14 - they shall submit to the Governor for his approvalr the route -- the route or routes proposed, together with an estimate of the costs of the proposed study. It then goes on, as we have said yesterday and earlier today - and 1411 be very brief in lt that before they can issue, they shall have that approval and then come to the General Assembly for the joint resolution approval. It would seem to me, based on the answer of Senator Cronin, that to his knowledge, nothing has been so submitted. There is nothin: that can be before the General Assembly. That would be my parliamentary inquiry. And to save a little time, 1et me just further comment, as I did a moment ago, so that you don't have to call on me again, that assuming that -- that you say that it's still before us, Which I disagree withr and assuming it isr and there has been no such study, we have no business authorizing something that we have no idea what it'll cost to do. But to my parliamentary inquiry, Mr. President, believe the Statute is 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 crystal-clear, and based on Senator Cronin's representation that he has no knowledge, it should not be before us.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Senator Carroll, the Chair ruled yesterday and will rule today, takes thirty votes for passage. Senator Cronin moves the adoptian of Senate Jolnt Resolution 35. Those in favor shall vote Aye. Opposed, vote Nay. The voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have a11 voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, there are 34 Ayes, 23 Nays, none votin: Present. The resolution is adopted. Senator Raica.
Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Today, the Senate havin: visited the Senate, the eighth-grade graduating class of St. Rene 's School, Which is my home parish. Theyfre in the Republican side of the Visitors' Gallery to the rear, and I would just ask that the Senate -- that the guests in the çallery please rise and the Senate welcome them to Springfield.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Will our will our guests please rise and be recognized. Welcome to Springfield. Senator Carroll.
Oh! Since it's now beyond the point, that -- my parliamentary inquiry was never the number of votes; was whether anything was before us. So just that the record is clear, I don't think that the President ever answered the parliamentary inquiry.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) Thank you. Senator Hendon.
Thank you, Mr. President. rise on a point of personal privilege.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DeANGELIS) 19 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 62nd Legislative Day MaY 1993 State your point, Senator.
