PRESEDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Dudycz, to explain your amendment.

Thank you, Madam President. Amendment No. 4 amends the Chicago FtrefiqhterArticle of the Pension Code to alloW -- 1 4  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Leîislative Day April 24, 1995 I resumptlon of certain widows ' annuities that have been suspended I : upon remarrlage. It requires an application and specifies that ; the resumption ls not retroactlve. And for certain annuitants ' born before January 1, 1945, provides for a three-perceat j ' automatic annual increase in retirement annuities, removes the j ! thirty-percent maximum , and makes the automatëc annuak increase I begin to accrue at age ftfty-five, rather than at sixty. It ! providesforanincreaseintheminëmumwidow'sannuity to seven 1 hundred dollars per moath beginntng With January 1, 1996. And autharizes the City to substitute funds obtained from borrowings and other sources for a portion of its authorized tax levy for pension purposes. And it amends the State Mandates Act to requtre implementatkon without reimbursements. It also permlts the repurchase of previouslyrefundedservicecreditThls compounded interest until the year 2000. atfour-perce was nt the I controversial portion that -- that, we believe, has resclved most of the objection to this bill. Thls window had prevlously closed in 1992. It allows paramedics to establish service credit in the Firemen's Fund for time served under the Municipal Fundr providing for a calculation of inEerest depending upon when the application is made, prior to or after the effective date of this amendatory Act. And finally, it -- it adds language permitting paramedics to purchase time from 1970 to 1983 when they were employees of the City of Chicagc, but not members of any pension system.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Any further dlscusslon? Senator Jcnes. SENATOR JONE6: Thank -- thank you: Madam President. Will the sponsor yield?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) He indicates that he Nill.

1 Senator Dudycz, in this amendment you -- you stated that those I 5  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL AGSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day Aprll 24r 1995 persons Who Will be buying the servicg back ln Will go from *he dateofserviceuntil1989. AmIcorrect? 1

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Dudycz. Senator Dudycz.

Senator Jones, are you -- you talking abaut the paramedics allowing to purchase time? Yeah. That -- that's from 1970 to 1983 when they Were employees of the City and not members of any pension system. This is what I understand was worked out between the Clty and the -- the local union -- the fireflghters' unlon and the paramedics' group.

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Jones.

Well, when they were with the City, did they pay into a pension fund there?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Dudycz. Senator Dudycz.

Staff tells me that earlier: when they first began, they were a menber of no system, then they went intc the municipal system, and finally they are currently in the fireftghters' system.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Jones.

Well, in response to the amendment, I see you have a cutoff date of 1989. Now, any other persons who are buying back -- buying time into a system will pay from that time until the date cf payment. Now, When you cut it off at 1989, I knöw we: as legislators, teachers, everyone else -- so those persons should pay the interest or compound interest up until the -- the date that theypay it. Notcut itoffatl989. Couldyou tellme the 1 6  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY . REGULAR SESSION 6ENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 i fiscal impact of the -- the liability to the pension system? I

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Dudycz.

Welk, first of all, Senator Jones, this pertakns only to the j paramedlcs and not to the rest of the firefighters. And as far as the -- I guess Senator -- Senator Raica would be able to explain to you how that came about. He's not here this afternoon. And I would suggest that on the 3rd Readins, he will go into detail. As far as the fiscal impact, the ccst has not been determined.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Jones.

Well, wouldn't it be advisable then, since everyone is not here, to take (t out of the recordr and perhaps we can deal With this issue when we have more Members available? Because I dcn 't think persons -- I don't think Members on this side of the aisle, ncr your side of the aisle, want to be voting for givlng persons that big break - a windfall - of maybe fifteen mlllion dollars, an unfunded ltabikity to that system . NOW, if you change the date until -- till the tlme of payment: which Would be maybe 1995. But when you -- you're giving a special break to individuals and I don't think the Members on your side of the aisle Want to give that kind of break, nor do Members on this side cf the aisle Want to do that. So I woukd suggest very strongly that until we have the Membership here , because I'11 be -- want a roll call on this - - on this vote - that we wait until those persons are here .

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Dudycz.

Well , Senator -- Senator Jones , as far as the amendment is concernedy you know that the amendment is deleting the -- the bi11 7 è .. .  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 the amendment becomes the btll. We're just moving the process along. If you desire, I can always take it out of the record, and then we can debate thls tomorrow cn 2nd . But I -- I would -- Was hoping to -- I Was hoping to move the process along so we can debate the bill -- the amendment, which actually becomes the b11l fully , in the 3rd Reading , but if -- out of respect for you, Mr .

Amendment :o. 2, offered by Senator Mahar.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Senator Mahary to explain the amendment.

Thank you, Madam President, Members of the Senate. This is the alternatlve fuels bill. We vlslted this about three years ago, and it has changed dramatically in scope since then. Now, We have a -- as opposed to a forty-million-dollar program over three years, we have a twenty-millicn-dcllar program. There is no bondinç Whatsoever in this bill. There ls no reference to -- to road funds. The money Will come from a twenty-dollar annual fee attributed to fleet vehicles, as requlred by federal law. There are -- we figure two hundred and fifty thousand vehicles are affected. The EPA will collect the annual fees. The program will continue to provlde rebates to to vehlcle operators, whether they are converting or whether they are buying new vehicles. There is still a twenty percent of the twenty million raised will go into research for ethancl. Only the dollars generated will be spent. And I would ask for the adoptlon of Flcor Amendment No . 2.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR GEO-KARIS) Any discussion? Hearing none, are there any further amendments -- Floor amendments? The -- Senator Mahar moves to adopt this amendment to Senate Bill 276. Those in favor, say Aye. Those opposed, say No . The Ayes have it, in the opinion of the Chair. The amendment is adopted. Are there any further amendments?

Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This bill had its genesis, I guessz abcut six months ago When a -- one of my constituents that operates a weldiag supply firm in Danville and Champaign approached me from the standpoint that We presently have on our books a licensing system for people who fill fire extinguishers, and that's part of their business. AnyNay, he sald there is no enforcement on this bill. We simply pay a license 33  l STATE OF ILLINOIS ' 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY l REGULAR SESSION 1 1 SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 1 36th Leii i slative Day April 24, 1995 ' I 1 I 1 fee.

Why not i 1 . repeal this thing? During the committee testlmony, there were no . 1 : I opponen8s registered, but I will tell you that the Fire Marshal's Office J* 6 this point in time, in my opinion, is probably opposed to this1 bill; although, they do admit there ls no enforcement, l there ls1 no vay of tracking people who don,* have llcenses or anythingl î -- or permits. So thts bill would -- wculd eliminate that licensure l possibility, rather than having it sunset tbree l 1 ' years from now. That's what the bill does.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator Viverito. SENATOR VIVERITO : I have to say that a parttcular -- I have an interest in this: because an individual who owns and operates this type of business came down here a few years ago to testify, to guarantee that we would have the proper licensing and making certain that When those extinguishers are not duly equipped to go off, that they -- that they make certain that the equipnent is up to par.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any -- any further discussion? Senator Jacobs.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of Khe Senate. I Would concur a little btt with Senator Welch, and just ask the sponsor -- I concur -- if from Indiana you're havin: scme problems with those people coming across the border, why are we not then licenslns out-of-state fire distributors also? Beeause, ycu know, I'm in very strong belief that if it's good enough for usy it's good enough for those people from Indiana. So if We're gclng to allow them to be licensedy we should license them also .

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOK DUDYCZ) Senator Woodyard.

Wekl, I -- I guess that's a questlon, and I think Senator WelchmaybealsohadaquestionthatI'mnotsure I can answer, 1 I but a1l I can tell youp I didn't have a big problem Nith the licensure of these -- of these people who deal with fire I 36 l - .  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRTPT I 36th Legislative Day April 24, i 1995 i ' j extinguishers and so on. The problem being; if you're not going j to enforce the licensure, why are we having it? If you want to 1 1 enforce it, I don't think that's a big problem, but you better be prepared to come up w1th @ome appropriations to put thirty or forty people out there in the Fire Marshal's Office to do thlsr because it is totally unfair to have Illlnois businesspeople at a disadvantage, not only from -- from their colleagues in the State of Illinois, but from out of state as well. And that's a1l I'm trying to do is just -- and as far as money, nah, it's not a big amount of money. Xou buy a license for a hundred dollars and you can get one and I can get one to fill fire extinguishers. There's no -- no criteria to do that. The employees are permitted at fifty dollars an employee. But it just seems one more of those kind of unreasonable, bureaucratic licensures that -- that we have in the State today that is totally unenforceable.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator Jacobs.

senator, I couldn't agree with you more and some of ycur comments. However, here's a case where the professionals came to us and said we want to be licensed, which so maay of the people throughout the State have been doing as of late. I don 't know if they're afraid of the competition, if -- whatever the case may be. But when they come to us, just as nurses do and everyone else does, and want to be licensed, why should we be the ones to tell themy no, you should not be licensed? And I think that: in effect, because you may have had a couple and I may have a couple also, being on the border, I still think We have to look at it from the overall uell-being of the entlre industry. And I think that we could have perhaps went, as you indicated, With a little appropriations to ensure that safety is a factor that we 're all -- a11 really value as being important. So I ask for a No vote. 37  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legtslative Day April 24, 1995

' I This piece of legtslablon ks almost verbatim modeled after an Ac* which passed in the State of Pennsylvania, which was challenged all the way to the United States Supreme Courk and was held constitutional by the United State's Supreme Court. What this Act does is baslcally prohibit the performing of an abortion upon a minor -- an unemanclpated minor unless there is consent of at least one parent. Addtttonally, there are what we call judicial bypass safeguards, which are placed ln the legislation: #f, in certatn ctrcumstances, the problem of consent would be difficult to obtain because of the fact that the -- the father of -- of the child may be the father of the unborn; there is a medical emerqency exception which is placed in the leglslation Which basically provides that if in the medical judgment of a physician that the -- there is a medical emergency Whlch requires -- because of a conplicated pregnancy, whlch requlres an immediate abortion, that that is an exception to the consent; additionally: the Act provldes a so-called bypass procedure: which permits a court to basically find that the -- minor -- unemancipated minor is such of maturity that consent ls not necessary. I recognize that this ls an issue whtch has been debated ln khe past on the Senate Floor, but I would sinply remind both sides of the aisle that even the President of the United States, in answering a question on the campaign trail dealing with this issuer stated that abortion should be safe, andz yes, bu* abortion should be scarce. I do believe that this type of legislation, which has already met constitutlonal nuster in our highest court of *he land, ls something which is necessary and desirable in this State.

Now , is there any proviston in this bill that provides that this -- the girl can get an abortion if she has some extraneous circumstances, like incest?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator Petka.

Senatorr the answer to your question is yes. There is a judicial bypass, which permits a minor to appear through a friend of the court, to completely retain their anonymity, and this court proceeding -- basically the minor can have a court-appointed counsel and can appear on -- on her behalf at no cost to the minor. And the court can then Rake inquiry as to whether or no* the consent provisions of this Act should apply .

Thank you: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. You know, I always get a little put out at, lack of a better wordr 'cause sometimes when we look at these bills it alnost appears that we come down to pro-abortion and pro-life, and that's not the issue. There are nany of us herey many of us with *he Catholic faith; many of us With a 1ot of different areas of concern that also are not Ccr abortion, but many of us do feel that there is a necessity for choiee. I guess my question Would be -- is, we have I already passed a parental ccnsent bikl -- I mean, excuse me, a j parental notification bill,which I thought is one that probably 1 1 could have tossed a coin and went eikher way with, 'cause it had I I some further safeguards, but now We're into parental consent.

SENATOR PETKA: Thank you, Senator, for asking that question. And the answer is yes. And the answer becomes, againy from the judictal bypass proceeding: which is available. The minor, under those circumstances, can have a guardian ad litem appointed by the court with counsel and basically make a case to the court, in a judlcial bypass proceeding, to dekermine that the consent provisions of this legislation sinply do not apply.

SENATOR PETKA: Senator, under these factual circumstances you just proposed, under Section 30 of the bill, the requlrements of consent are -- are simply waived when in the medical judgment af the physician, based upon the case before him, that a medical emergeney exits, j and because -- because of that the -- the consent requirenent is waived. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator Jacobs. SENATOR JACOBS: Just in clostng, I guess 1 -- it's not my place to closev bu* finally 1et me just say that again what we are saying is that the young person, under this provision, has no rights. You know, lt's a little bit dlfferent than going in to have a toe amputated and maybe at that time the parent has to be there to sign for that action. But it seems to me that whenever ycu have an abortion or you have a pregnancy that may be father-lnduced as an exampler that you -- you're put through a11 these hoops and for some reason We just say ''NoH to our young people, that you have no choices, but yet we expect them to have the responsibility of life, and for their future life. And I think that with thts bill, especially I with the fact that parental notification is already passed, I I I think that this bill becomes redundant and almost to the point - j lack of a better term - overkill . i 46  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24r 1995

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any further discussion? Senator Parker. SENAYCR PXRRER : ' Thank you , Mr. Chairman, Members of the Senate. I Wanted to I I speak to the bill. Some people ask, What is the difference I between this bill when we're talking about consent and when we l I just passed a bill through here on notification. The difference I I with consent is that We are actually taking the cholce and a I decision away from the woman that is pregnant. We are not I notifying the parents. There is a difference, and there is an I important dlfference in there. And I think we should understand that when we look at hoW we 're going to vote on this bill. In addition to that, there are crtminal penalties connected With this bill. My understanding is that thls would be the only procedure, if thts bill ls passed, Where a doctor would recelve a crimlnal penalty of a thousand dollars in fine or up to a year in jail for performing something that the patient has asked him to perform, 1 and sometimes has pleaded with him to perform . And I think the criminal penalties are something that we need to certainly be very I careful of and take a look at before anybody would vote Yes on i this blll. The intent here is -- in my belief, is not to notify the parents. We have a b1ll that we passed out to nctify parents. I The intent here is to intimidate the doctors, to make them scared so that they will not perform the abortions and to take that I ' decision away from the woman. And I would urge a No vote on this bi11. j END OF TAPE j I !

Let me add, in addition to the very eloquent points that she ralsed, that there are young women who may become pregnant that, for Whatever reason there exists, if this bill is law, they will not go to a doctor knowing that their parents are going to be asked for their consent, and you're gcing to recreate the -- the back-alley abortions, the hanger abortions that we -- that existed for many, many years. That does a great disservice to our young people. There are situations -- and the overwhelming majority of children who do become pregnant already tell their parents of thts situation. So we're talking about maybe thirty percent of women Who become pregnant, who don't -- for whatever reascn, don't share that fact with their parents. Thls bill is going to invite them to jeopardize not only *be -- their health? but their lives, by finding an alternative to going to a doctor, and the doctors are facing criminal prosecution under this bill. It does a disservice to the doctors. It dces a disservice to the majority of families. It does a disservice to young women that get pregnant. I urge a No vote also.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any further discussion? Senator Smith.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. I joln wholeheartedly with Senator Parker and with Senator Berman in their explanation of this particular bilk. You must also understand that there are young girls today in our societies that do not know -- if I might use the vernacular of the street, they don'b even know where their parents last ''lit'' and have no one to I 48  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24r 1995 I I advise them or to go to, et cetera.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any further diseussion? If not, Senator Petka, to close.

Welly thank ycu very much, Mr. Presldent and Members of the Senate. Once again, the usual buzz Words that have been associated wlth the abortion issue have been trotted out in this debate: back-alley abortions, hanger abortions, and the like. May I submit to you, what ve are suggesting in this legislation is really no different than what is found in Illlnois law in -- in at least fifty different Statutes, and that basically is the right of a parent to exercise control over a minor. To use the term ''Women'l in thls leglslation is a mlsncmer. We are talking about minor women. This does not apply to those who have been emancipated. Only minors. Let me just renlnd you of a 'ew things. Under Illinois law, if you wanted to join the Illknois State Guard, you would need to have consent of one -- at leas: one parent. If you were a minor and the vlcttm of a sexual assault, you could not even take the sexual assault collection kit and submit it to a crime 1ab withou: having parental consent. You cannot go on bus trips without having parental consent. You can't get medication in the school without parental consent. You canft buy cigarettes; you can't have your body tattooed. And yet, a medical procedure which can have serious and dlsastrous consequences, we are saylng that the parents should be just simply cut out. When we talk about the right, in this instance, of a parent to have ak least some knowledge of this medlcal procedurey We are talking about a right that has been placed in the Statute by this General Assembly at least fifty times over. That's a11 I 49 . ' l  STATE OF ILLENOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day Aprll 24r 1995 we're talking about here. In terms of the criminal penalty that I has been alluded tor we are talking about a misdemeanor. In the i State of Pennsylvania, the penalty that is ascribed to this 1 i procedure is the loss of a medlcal license. Mr. Chairmanr for the reasons that 1 have cited, I would ask for a favorable roll call.

Senate Bill 78 Would allaw a townshtp to enter into a lease with a not-far-profit corporation for up to ninety-nlne years. It was requested by a township in my Senate district. We've been through it qulte exhaustively through the committee process. There were some questions last time I brought the bill and took it out of the record, concerning exemptlon from the competitlve bid process. did -- nade a reference check on that and brought some lnformation to the questioner, and 1.11 share that With the Body. Essentlally in the in the Statutes currentlyy we have an exemption from the competitive bLdding process as long as the lease is between governmental bodies. This only expands that to include any other governmental bcdy or a not-for-profit corporation that's -- that's contracted to construct or fund the construction of a structure or improvement upon the real estate owned by the township and has contracted to allow the township to use the building. So it -- it's a -- very narrow exemptkon that -- that seems to make sense. be happy to ansuer questions, and I would request a favorable roll call.

PRESIDING OFFICER) (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: Thank you, President. Senate Bill 204 the same as Senate Bill 590: which we had in this Body last year. It's a bill that would give a definition to real and personal property. There are some people who are concernedr mainly the nuclear assessors? that this bfll wl1l take something away from them. This prospective. I had attempted to tntroduce an amendment to that wording. Somehow they disagreed or opposed it. think their major lntent was to destroy the legislation. So 1'11 go forward, and when the blll hits the Houser if there is an anendment that is acceptable to both of us, we'll put it on there, but at this particular point, we 've reached an impasse. think it's very, very unfair that as a taxpayer, partlcularly those that are real high-risk who have made investments in machinerys equipment and plant, not know - not know - hoW they're going to be assessed. In fact, one of the drlving forces to keep industry out of Illinois or havin: to glve inducements in every situation in which we do have manufacturtng firms is based on the idea that they do not know, they do not know , Ehey do not know how theysre going to get assessed. So would urqe that we -- well, 1111 be happy tc answer any questions, but if not, I gculd urge that we accept...

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Is there any discussion? Senator -- Senator Geo-xaris.

Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, much as have the greatest admiration for the sponsor of this bill: I live in a city where We do have a nuclear plant, and wben they tell you that they can't decide Which is real estate and which is 67  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY ' REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legtslative Day April 24, 1995 personal propetty, we all know - all they have to dc is ask their lawyers - that what's rooted in the grcund is real estate. The other stuff is personal property. And there 's nothlng to prevent l I the companies that have these big kowers, for example, in my town I ' ! from removing them and calling them personal property. NCW, I l know it sounds far-fetched, but we have fought this bill before. It would be devastattng on towns that do have a nuclear plant and depend an thekr tax base: and it would be a -- really a disaster for my town to have property reassessed as personal property, which is rooted in the ground. And when you're told by some of these company executives, ''We1l, we can't tell how to tax -- to have our property taxed'' our assessors know what to do. And I feel that thts uauld create a great hardship on the villages and towns that have a nuclear planb, and I rise to speak against this bill. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any further discussion? Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH: Question of -- questton of the sponsor. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Sponsor indicates he wilt yield . Senator Welcb. SENATOR WELCH: Senator DeAngelts, in those areas where the school districts have issued bonds depending upon revenue from these nuclear plants, hoW are they going to pay those bonds off in the future if the revenue fram the plant declines because of a chanqe in assessment in future years? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senatcr DeAngelfs.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senqtor Welch.

Senator DeAngelisr what would stop a -- a company from changtng some small item on one of their power plant facilities - upgradlng 1tr for instance - and then clakming the whole plant has been changed over to a new structure?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator DeAngelis. SENATOR DeANGELIS: I guess nothing. But, Senator Welch, you know , if you assessed it properly, you have no concern. You know, I this has been most disturblng to me, because the people that are opposed to this btll are concerned they may have done somethlng wrong and they might get caught. I even put in the bilk, if youdve done something wrong, you don't have to worry about getting caught 'cause we 're goin: to forgive you.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Senator Wetch.

Well, I'm sure the -- khe opponents appreciate your amnesty extension here, Senator DeAngelis. That's nice of you. But what you said in your cpening statement isn't exactly correctr because there are more groups than nuclear power plant assessors that oppose this. It's opposed by County Assessors, the Community College Association, Statewide School Management Alliance, Townshlp Officials of Illinoisr the Illinois Library Associationy FAIRCOM: Illinois Association of Fire Protection Districts, IML, Lasalle County Boardr Byron Chamber of Commerce and Byton taxing districts. There is really not that much confusion. What happens 69  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY i REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day Aprll 24, 1995 I in a lot of cases in my area, Senator, is thls: When an I assessment is made on a power plant, the power plant appeals kt to I I court, hoping to negotiate the amount -- the value assessed I : downward and settle out before khe case is -- is fënally 1 dispositioned by the judge. That's where the confusion comes in. I think that the assessment is very clear. What we have here is an attempt by the Taxpayer Federation to do somethlng they did several years ago: They are Wcrshipping at the altar of statewtde tax untformity. They dld that on the sales tax. It Was a good ldea because we had a 1ot of different sales taxes throughout the State. Naw it's about seven years later. They haven't really had any major legislation, so Ehey came up with this thing. I think that it's a mistake to try to go ahead and pass a bill that just ends up with some type of uniformity, even if it is prospective, as you say, because it's going to create a total imbalance in those dis*ricts thak rely upon the ccurt cases that have decided how gou assess property. Those areas with the nuclear plants currently have been assessed, but it doesnft just apply to nuclear plant areas. It applies to al1 farms. It applies to al1 large businesses. This ls a far-reaching piece of legislatlon. And the taxes will be made up by the counties from the residential homeowners. So everyone here who votes for this is golng to be looking at a tax increase in the future. In my two counties that I have, one county board said they would raise taxes fcur million dollars, in Lasalle County. In Grundy County, they satd they 'd raise it fifteen million dollars. Every county is going to have a loss of revenue, and it Will be made dp by the residentkal homeowners. So donst think thls ls a free throwe folks. Don't think that these powerful lobbies that are in support of this bill are going to have a bill here that helps them and doesn't hurt somebody else. It does, and you 're gcing to be answering for it on election day. So I would urge you to vote No now, while thgre 70  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Leglslattve Day April 24, 1995 is still time. I PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) ! Is thêre any further dlscussion? If noty Senator DeAngelis, I I to close. j SENATOR DeANGELIS: 1 1 Senator Welchr God kove youy but you didn't read the bill, j pal. Xoureallydidn'treadtheb111. Thisbillclearly states: 1 1 How gould this bill -- bill affect current disputes - the things that you're talkinq about? Not at allr not at all, not at all. For the bill makes it clear the legislatlon would have no affect, no affect, no affect, no affect, on reclassifications done before 1979, nor on any lltigatton tn process. You know, I -- I cannot belteve that We -- we believe here that if a taxpayer takes the risk of building a facility, he has to play Russtan roulette or find a wired lawyer to get the proper assessment. My friend, I got to telk you, that's grossly unfair. I -- you know, several years ago, and now let me say -- 1et me correct that, 'cause I don'E wan* to offend any lawyers in this General Assembly. I'm talking abcu: Cook County malnly. Okay? I got to telk yau, seven years ago, Inkand Steel came and did a site selection process to build a new steel plant, and they have three facilities in Cook County, and I led the charge to get them there and they -- we -- thelr tax department said, ''NC way, Jose, because we don't know how werre gotng to get assessed.'' I said, ''I will tell you - I will tell you - that we Wl11 get an answer from the Assessor of Cook County.'' So I brought them into that office. And do you know on tha: five-hundred-million-dollar facility what the assessor said? ''We don't know till you build the plant.'' Now that meant thatthepersoncouldhave beenassessedata hundred 1 million, tWo hundred million, three hundred million, four hundred million or five hundred million, but he wasn't going to be told unless they built the plant. I got to tell yau, that ls grossly 71 . ) '  STATE 0F ILLINOIS I 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day Apri1 24, 1995 unfair; and I got to -- it is just not the way that public policy ought to be conducted on taxation. We have enough problems drawing people lnt:o Illinols. But to have that klnd of system, Where you don 't know -- and , Senator Welch y if. you 'd have been in i committee, you'd have found out that there was several assessors : who said that they changed thetr mind about assessing power plants when they looked over at the next county. That dces -- that means they did not have a uniforn policy at al1 on that particular assessment.

Thank you , Mr. President, Members of the Senate. This bill was suggested by the Horsemen's council of Illinols and creates the Equine Activity Liability Act. And basically What it does: requires that a1l participants who engaçe in these equine activities -- and when we first started looking at this kind of premlse, know was thinking dealing more with county fairs and - - and these small horse showsy but does require that participants who engage in those equlne activities have to assume the inherent risks involved with horses. We did try to correct some of the concerns expressed in Judieiary Commlttee, and I think that we have primarily addressed most of those concerns. There are thirty other states that presently have almost this identical kind of -- of Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ehis is a bill on behalf of the one thousand one hundred and sixty-two non-home rule munlcipalltles in the State of Illinois. It is a bill that has been massaged and re-massaqed about fifteen times. We are now -- we have four elements Eo Ehls bill. Pirst of all, it increases the maximum allcwed fines for ordinance violations from five hundred to seven hundred and fifty. This hasn't been changed in 75 Z ' . .  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 many, many years. also changes the annual report requirements so that they list only those payments Which exceed twenty-five hundred.

I would urge passage of the bill, please.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Is there any discussion? Senator Jacobs.

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Just -- don't know if it's a questlon. I don't think it's a question, but I know this is a bill that a lot of municipalities do want. There's a portion of this billr though, that I I think ls onerous and actually almost comes to double jeopardy. not going to keep me from voting for the bill, but I would suggest to the sponsor that maybe we work on a little bit whenever it gets over to the House and try to rectify the situation on the liquor ltcenses to where you can b0th flne and revoke. That appears to me to be a little harsh. It shculd be either fine or suspensionr or fine or revocationr but to da both, I think: is a little bit redundant in its own -- it's -- in its own right and would suggest that maybe we look at that when it gets over to *he House, Senator.

I'm sorry. It was aluays fine suspend. I?m -- I apologize. PRESIDING OFFICER; (SENATOR DUDYCZ) Any further discussion? Senatcr Jacobs.

- - I apologize for rising for the second timer but I think there's some clarifications that need to be made, because in answer to your questionr Senatcr Karpiel? currently a mayor can -- can suspend, can fine, or revoke. This says -- under this provlsion now that Eheyfre changing it to, Says that they can not only revoke, but they can fine too, or they can fine and revoke, I 81  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 or fine and suspend. And then there's another portion here which think is a little onerous, which states in the law whenever the local liquor commissioner brtngs charges against a licensee for a violation of this Act, and the licensee is found in violationy the local liquor control commissioner may recover from the licensee attorney's fees and ather costs wtth bringlng the actlon. The problem with that ts as the case of a1l fees established by municipalities and, in particular, liquor license fees, those liquor liegnse fees are predicated upon the cost of enforcement. That's how you establlsh your -- your fee. And that, therefore -- agaln, they're going to be paying twice, because that's consldered early on that somewhere aiong the line there wi11 be remediation of taverns in one respect or anothery and thereforer that causes me scme concern. And agaln, Senator, I think the point is, is wculd just like to see khat continue to be worked on whenever that gets to the House 'cause I think that does carry some -- some situations to where wefre giving double jeopardy, and that does bother me.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSQN) rurther discussion? genator Jacobs. 88  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995

1 Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. As my good friend Todd Sieben knows, this is something that is not truly an onerous bill, but I have a few concerns with it, malnly which I expressed some of thcse when we did this last year. First of allr we -- we are going to have a tainted vote. We already have nine counties in this State that have riverboat gamingr representing probably two mlllion people in this State. The votes of those people, in my estimation, are already tainted one way or another. Whether that's good or bad, that's something that yet remains to be seen. I don't think we 're truly going to get a true picture because the question ls not specific. Justr do we want more riverboats? - or do we want more gambling in Illinois? - yes or no? - I think is always tempered by whose backyard it may be coming into. I think also to make this vote for 1996 - and I know that's as early as you can get it on - I think almost makes it a -- a moot point. By that time, I thlnk we're going to know very clearly wheEher we have any expanston, if there ls to be any expanslon, of gaming in the State, or whether we are not. We are going to be talking here very shortlyr I know, about the Governor's Task Force on Horse Race Gaming. Tha: is going to call - as I read the task force - for some expansion of gaming in the State of Illinois. A11 of these things are going to happen before there is truly a vote of the peopler and I think that khen we just have something that we're just going through just for the intercourse of going through it. I think also that what we have -- we would be much better put, in my estimation, if we really looked at this referendum issue on a local basis. I think we have j l discussed that before. If there is to be gaming in an area, then l I maybe we should even look at a binding referendum at that point. But I think to have an advisory referendum, because they are i costly - they do cost the county clerks a lot of consternatton - 89  i I I STATC oF ILLINozs l l B9TH GEXERAL ASSEMBLY REGgLAR sEsslox SENATE TnAxscRzpT 36th Legislatlve Day April 24, 1995 and I don 't know if it's goins tc truly give us a clear picture. I don't have any overwhelning feelings one way or another Whether it's the right way or the wrong way. I just wanted to poin: out some of those issues that I think may be pertinent to Ehis ' leglslatlon. Thank you. ; PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussîon? Senator Geo-Karis. SENATOR GEO-KARIS: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate, much as I have great respect for the sponsor of this billr I feel that the decision tc whether or not have gambling or riverboats should be to the -- left to the local townshlps. The sponsor already has a riverboat in Galena in his area. My area, the eastern end of my counties - Waukegan and Lake Michiqan - desperately needs a riverboat, for example. My western area - the Chain 0 ' Lakes - desperately needs a riverboat, and the people there want it. When Antioch had the -- the option of asking for a riverbcat, I told the people there, 1et the people of Antëoch Township vote one way or the other, and 1'11 honor their vote. They voted agalnst it, and I honored their vote. So, I can tell you right now, I thlnk it's a matEer of local issue. I think the local townships should decide it, not the whole State. I'm not deprlving my people in tbe townships that may be involved from voting up or down on this sïtuation, but I think lt's far better to do that than have the whole county -- the whole State vote, because needs are different in different areas of the State. And I feel that thls is not a wise decisiony and I speak against a statewide referendum . PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Walsh. SENATOR WALSH : Thank you, Mr. President. 1, too, have some concerns With Senate Bill 431. And, Senator, I would -- I would aqree With -- I 90  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT I 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 with you on this billr like Nith the lncreased forms of gambllng. If we were talking about pcssibly going to video games, pull tabs or sports betting, I think we should ask the entire State what they feel about that. Riverboats, to me, Was a decision that was made by a Legislature many years ago, and I think for us now to ask everyone in the entire State what they think about lncreasing riverboatsr to bringing them to Cock County or the City of Chicago, is not fair to those areas, when we didn't ask suburban Cook County and we didn't ask the City of Chicago what Ehey felt about riverboats down in -- in Elgin, in East St. Louis, in Peoria, and in other towns that have them. So it just doesn't seem fair to me now to have a statewide referendum on increasing the number of riverboats. Again; I would agree with you if We were talking about increased -- or different forms of gambling, but -- but not with -- not with *he -- with the riverboats. And againv as somebody else polnted out, if -- if we had a local referendum, the municipality that Was going to be getting the riverboat had a vote as to Whether or nct they wanted it, I could -- I could possibly agree with -- wlth the -- with the bill. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Seeing none, Senator Sieben, to close. SENATOR SIEBEN: Thank you very much, Mr. President.

SENATOR WOODYARD: Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. Senate Bill 448 is actually the result of -- of something that started nearly three and a half years ago. The bill was -- is proposed by the Illinols Chemical Fertllizer Dealers' Assoclationr and it's an attenpt to at least start a program that is a volunteer program that eventually we hope Will lead to remediation or cleanup and monitoring of those chemical fertilizer plants that may be contaminating some of the soils around the plant. I think youdve probably heard alsc that there are several plans out there: but thls happens to be *he plan that the Chemical Fertilizer Dealers themselves came up with. I think you're going to see further legislation in this Session dealing with Brownfleld . There's a Pennsylvania plan. There's a Minneso*a plan. There is a Greenfield plan. But as of right now, this bill is at least the start-up of being able to do this in a voluntary manner. And it does establish a board wikhin the Department of Agriculture to seE up this program. 1 Will mention to you that it Will need one further amendment when it qets over to the House, and -- to take care of a few concerns that the Illinois Farm Bureau hadr but by 92  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 and large, other than that, don't know of any opponents to this bill at all.

Senator Woodyard, is there a -- is there funding necessary for thisr and if so, where does it come from?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Woodyard.

Yes. The start-up, it seems to us, will take about a hundred and twenty thousand dollars. There is presently in existence that fund that the fertilizer dealers paid into, and I want to think it has like six hundred thousand dollars in it, presen*ly residing ln Department of Agriculture. There 's never been any money spent out of that fund, so we don't -- we're not -- at this point in time, wedre not asking for additional fees or anything else. Now, at some point in time, I'm satisfied that fund is not going to pay for a lot of remediation. But but for the start-up, it will take care of that.

had a question of the sponsor.

PRESIDIXG OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSOK) The sponsor will yield, Senator Welch. 100 ; STATE OF ILLINOIS I 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION i SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 SENATOR WELCH: Senator Dudycz, is thts a -- a bill to spend noney from block grants from the federal government? Is that -- is that what you said? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Dudycz. SENATOR DUDYCZ; Senator Welch, this bill -- the -- the power ln the bill is tied up to the fatp of the 1aw enforcement monies, whlch are part of the federal package that was in the crlme bll1 of last year, and it -- it a1l depends upon Whether any or a11 of the monies come to the statesr whether there is final fundin: from the package coming to the State of Illinois. The Law Enforcement Training Standards Board wishes to be prepared and ready to -- to begin implementing the -- the pcrtions cf the -- the bill that apply to the State of Illinois if and When the -- the President vetoes the federal -- the, or I guessr in case he -- his veto overcomes the -- the action by the Congress and We do get the money. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Welch. SENATOR WELCH: So what you 're saying is that this is a bill to utilize money coming from the federal government under the President's crime control bill, but the current Congress has passed a law Which would not allow us to hire these police officers. And this bill basically is utilized and will go into effect only if it -- if We are able to hire police officers. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO : Yes. I'd like to pose a question to Senator Dudycz, lf I I 1ûl . C '  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY RZGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 miqht.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Dudycz will yleld, Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO:. senator Dudycz, the propcnents, obviously, is the Illinots -- are the Illlnois Enforcement Training and Standards Board. Is Ehis an administration bill? I mean/ is this where the Governor wants this Actr if, in fact -- or these bkock grants from the Police Corps Act administered through this board, and that's why that's this here?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Dudycz.

Senator Demuzio, the -- the intent of the bill is *o designate the Law Enforcement Trainlng Standards Board to be the conduit for any monles that should arrive to the State of Illlnois fron any action that the federal gcvernment should deem approprkate.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Dudycz: that's exactly the same thlng I said. If you read the transcript back. What I'm asking ycu: Is this an administration bill? Is this where Governor Edgar wants the block grants for the Police Corps Act to be administered, rather than the State Police or any of the other agencies under his domain?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Dudycz.

I'm no6 quite sure I understand your question. But, as far as the Police Corps is concernedz Senator Demuzioy this is a -- this bill was requested by the administration, specifically the Law Enforcement Training Standards Board, so they would be prepared to 102  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislatlve Day April 24, 1995 be able to implement the -- the crlme package should it ever come down to the State of Illinois.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Demuzto.

Well, I guess that's my -- my -- you're tellin: me now that Governor Edgar has designated the Training Board to be the conduit by which a1l block grant monies under this Act that you named - police whakever - is qoing to be administered by the Trainin: Board? I just -- you knowy -- I wonder why the State Police -- doesn't *he Governor feel that they're qualified enough to admlnister such a program? And and why do we go to the Training Board? Just seems to me that we're a little hasty in this, but, I meanr lf that's where the Governor wants to go, fine, that's what you're representing to me.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Jones.

Thank you, Mr. presiden*. Will *he sponsor yleld?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) The sponsor will yieldy Senator Jones.

Senator Dudycz, Without this bill, under the proposed Act of block grants, where would the dollars gc? Wauld the dollars go dtrectly Eo local municlpalities?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) senator Dudycz.

Can't answer that, Senator. Hello .

PRESIDING OFFICSR: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Jones. SENATOR JONESI l03  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLV REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 I didn't -- I didn't hear his answer.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Dudycz.

Staff -- staff tells me that there is no other condult for the monies currently in place to there is nothing out there that would be able to have a transitional conduit of the monies designated. There's ncthing out there that says Will go to the - - to the municipalities or to the State Police or to the Training Board. What this b111 does, it says that if the monies ever do come, *he Traintng Board wl1l be the condulk for the programs and the implementation of them.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator Jones.

Well, when you say there 's nobody out there, I'm quite sure there are other units of government local government entities that would be able to apply for these dollars direct and receive the dollars. But if this bill were to become law, then many of our units of government who would want to qualify under this Act would lose dollars, because I'm quite sure that the Governor would rake off about ten percent for administrative costs and so forth. So what I'm sayingy Senator Dudycz, local units of government would be able to apply under the current Act, but you would -- this bill would restrict local unlts of qovernment from applylng directly Eo receive *he block grants, thereby for rather than getting -- they Would get a hundred percent of the dollars that would be awarded, but under this bill, quite sure that they would get less - anywhere from nlnety percen: or less than what the local unit of government Would automatically get under the current Act. So think lt's a bad bill ln that essencey because our local communities who want law enforcement will lose  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Leglslative Day April 24r 1995 dollars because: you knowr -- you will be taktng out a certain amcunt for adminlstrative costs. And think the direct approach will be the best approach and let the small units of government apply directly to the federal government to get those dollars.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Further discusston? If not, Senator Dudycz, to close.

Well, thank you: Mr. Prestdent. I to answer Senator Jones last commentr guess, I don't know whether anyone is going lose money out of this or gain money out of this. This is a nobody's asked to be placgd here. mean, the -- the Law Enforcement Training Board came to me and they said, just ln case, hypothetieally, if there ls a bill that finally makes it thrcugh the Congress and does get through -- frcm Washington to Illinois, they would like to be the eonduit for those montes. And would - - I know of no opposition, up until this pointy and I would hope that everybody will support it.

The State Superintendent, under this program, develop the licensure l06  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36*: Legislative Day April 24r 1995 program in consultation with the Teacher Certification Board. The license would be valid for an inltial three-year period and renewable for five-year periods thereafter. Reneval would be subject to provisions in existing law that require evidence of professional growth. Districts employing persons with high school teaching license must provlde such mentoring, training, and staff development as the district determines necessary far satisfactory performanee in the classroom.

FRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further dlscussion? Senator Welch.

Yes. I Would rise oppcsition to thls bill. This bill l07  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislaeive Day April 24, 1995 reminds me of one that Senator Savickas used to introduce every year. And what that bill did, it said, anybody who served in the State Leglslature for more than four years was entitled to become a lawyer. They -- they -- they could get a 1aw degree. That it had a lot of support as ycu can tell, and this -- this just lets us be English teachers and other types of teachersr but it's probably not a good idea.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Sponsor says he 'll yield, Senator Berman.

As I read our analysls, I have a bachelor's degree in -- if hold a bachelor's degree anything, and have five years of working experience, uhat else do I need in order to :et cer*ifked, under this bill?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) 108  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24# 1995 Senator O'Malley.

Senatcr Berman, yau need to successfully pass Ehe certification test for the subject -- the -- in the subject matter area that you intend to teach as administered by the State Board.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Fureher discussion? Senator -- Senator Berman.

What does that mean? In other words, -- When you say certification ln a particular arear will that be -- here Were talkin: about grades six through twelvep is that the cerEification test or is it some particular area of -- of knowledge?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Senator O 'Malley.

Senator Berman, it's my understanding that what the State Superintendent intends by this -- by this legislation is that the certification Would be in the subject matter that thaE person would be authorized to test. For instance, Was a biology course, that they uould have to be proficient in the area of -- of of biology as certlfied as as other teachers Who teach biology would .

PRESIDING OPFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Berman.

Thank you. It appears to me that the problem with this bill is that you're taking a person who may be -- have some expertise in a particular area. but that is, Wauld suggest to you, substantially dlffgrent than belng -- have expertise or background being a teacher. may be, as I'm sure many of my clients Would acknowledqer an expert in lawz but I'm not necessarily a l09  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Logislative Day April 24, 1995 goad teacher of law, and that is -- appears to me to be the dlfference between what this would authorlze and what we presently require af our teachers. Teachers require a substantlal background in training in how to teach - much broader than just a particular area of expertise that they are going to lecture in. Rlght ncw, if -- if a teacher uants me to lecture on politicsr they'll invite me talk about politics, the teacher that knows how to teach. I may know how to lecture on politics; but I don 't know how to teach politics. That's the difference, I think, that this represents and what could be a substantial diminution -- decrease the quality of expertise that we presently have in our teaching staff and our teachers. I would urge a No vote.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Demuzio.

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

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) The sponsor says he 'll yield, Senator Demuzlo. SENATOR DEMUZJO) Senator O 'Malley, down in our uay there are a number of high schools who have, what they call, escrow programs, whereby the high school teacher was teachin: *he elass, but the class, in fact, could be escrcwed and qualified for credit hours at the local community college. Would this cause a problem for ehose who are teaching high school classes or those Who want to have the escrowed hours count toward a -- a degree program? Wouldn't -- wouldn't this cause some wha: of a problem? We have a number of those in our our area .

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) SenaEor -- Senator O'Malley.

ll0  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Leglslatlve Day April 24: 1995 - - I listened to your question, Senator Demuzio, and -- and asked our staff if they were aware of either. I'm not aware of any such problem ehat would be created by that.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further discussion? Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO ) The reascn I ask that is because it would seem to me that the reason that they are, in fact, allowed the opportunity to escrow and -- and to apply toward a degree program is because there is a certified teacher teaching the coursey as qualificatlons is met by the State Board of Education. And would seem to me that in some instances it may be unfair to have students taklng courses from those individuals whc are licensed but not certifted, and therefore the courses wouldn't count.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR WATSON) Further dtscussion? If not, Senator O 'Malleyr to close.

Well again, thank you, Mr. President. Into -- in -- well, I'm going to try and respond to ycu in my elosing remarksr anyway. Thfs -- this process is to create a licensure or alternative certification proeessr so that the teachers who Would be involved under this program Would be certified by the State, and -- and therefore I don't think that the concern that's ralsed by *he previcus speaker would be one that we should be concerned about. As to Senator Berman's comments: and I appreciate them very much, he is pointing out something I think, that we all have to realize, that when under this prcgram , what Wedre attemptin: to do is bring some practical experience into the classroom. And he's absolutely right that perhaps some of these peopler when they come are not going to be the professlonal teaehers, you will; that's they will not have that pedagogical experience that is so important and somethin: that we really admire in teachers. 1ll  STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 36th Legislative Day April 24, 1995 However, the legislation requires that there be monitoring of what's golng on in the classroom by that particular teaeher, and proof of professional development, as is required other teachers. So I think this is a step in the right direction. I would encourage my fellou Members of this Body to support it. I Wauld request an Aye vcte. Thank you.
