Senate Bill 1322. (Secretary reads title of bill) I 3rd Reading of the bill. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) ' Senator Mahar -- Senator Watson. SENATOR WATSON: I Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chairman -- Madam President. This particular piece of legislatlon amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act to increase the maximum full-time ! grant award for those people in the MAP program , the Monetary Award Programg from thirty-five hundred to thlrty-eight hundred ' dollars a year. It also inereases the part-tlme enrollment -- those -- those involved in part-time enrollment, from seventeen hundred and fifty dollars to nineteen hundred dollars. We heard testimony in the committee concerning this issue. It Was supported by the Illinois Student Assistance Commisslonr Northwestern University, the Federation of Independent Colleges and Unlversities. This MAP award has not been increased for about five years, and I think it -- time is overdue.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Any further discussion? Senator Demuzio.
Thank you very muchy Madam President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Iy too, would rise in support of Senate Bill 1322. I would only ask the sponsor that we pay close attention to the appropriation bill, in making sure that once these monetary award I 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 98th Legislative Day March 29r 1994 increases have been put into effect, that the money daes: in facty stay in the appropriation bill. And if there aren't any objectlons from the sponsor, I'd like to be added as a cosponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Demuzio asks to be added as a cosponsor. . He has no objection. Senator Welch. Any further discussion? Hearing not, Senator Watson, to close. f
I Just ask for your favorable support. ' PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) . The question is, shall Senate Bill 1322 pass. Those in favory vote Aye. Those opposed will vote Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have a11 voted uhc wish? Have al1 voted Who wish? Mr. Secretary, take the record. The votes are 54 Yeas, none voting No, none voting Present. And this bill, having received the constitutional majorityr.is hereby declared passed. Senate Bill 1326. Sorry. Senator Jones. I'm sorry.

So there's no problem; we'll just stop here now, and -- and nobody seems to want to call their bill anyway. So ke'11 just call it quits. 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY !
