SENATOR MOLARO

Thank you, Mr. President and Members. Currently, there -- currentlyr there is a 1aw that you cannot give out information about foster parents. So you cannot go out there and give out where they live or what khey db. DCFS cannot do thatz nor can anybody who has that information release that information. That is against the law . Well, apparently: a couple people did this, and when we looked at the law, there Was really no penalky. And whae this bill does, it makes it a Class A misdemeanor to give out this confidential information. And basically what it was, is there was a disgruntled parent that found out information, and when DCFS, as well as the foster parentsr decided it wasn 't time for him to have his children back, he went and gave out all -- a1l 4 i STATE Of ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 100th Legislative Day May 5, 1998 this information out in vtolation of the law.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DONAHUE)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) Senator Hawkinson.

SENATOR HAWKINSON

Thank you , Madam President. I would move to accept the Governor's recommended changes on Senate Btl1 363. They are primarily technical changes conforming the bill to the intent of I ! the Eponsors in the first place. But a couple of them I would bring ko the Body's attention because we had debate on them on the orig inal passage of Senake Bill 363. One of the issues that was raised - it m ight have been by Senator Molaro ; I am not certain - I was the -- the issue of technical violations... PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) ' Senator Hawkinson, just a second, please. I'm going to have ko ask the staff, Senators to be in your seat. Take your ! 1 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 90TH GENERAL ASSEMNLY REGDLAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 100th Legislative Day May 5, 1998 di ! scussions off the Floor. Senator Hawkinson. '

SENATOR HAWRINSON

One of the items in Senate Bill 363, our reform of the juvenile justice system, dealt With extended jurisdiction for the juventle court, the system by which certain felony offenders would have a juvenile sentence imposedr and then, if they failed to meet the conditions of their probationy an adult sentence that would be simultaneously imposed would -- would then be imposed by the court. There was questions that arose as to whether technical violations of p robation, such as an inadvertent failure to appear for a meeting with a probation officer, would automatically cause the revocation of that juvenile probation. The Governor has clarified that so that where there are non-wlllful or technical violations of a probation, the court will have discretion and need not impose that adult sentence. It would still be imposed upon . conviction of a later crime. But for those technical violations, there would -- the judge would still have discretion. And that was clarified in the bill . Also in the bill r there were several instances where best interests of the child were left in, and those changes are clarified by this bill. I'd be happy to answer any questions. This will be final passage of the Juvenile Justice Reform Act. Itls very important legislation. If there are questions about the original bill that Members want me to reiterate , I 'd be happy to do that as well .

I do think, actually, that the Governorls ! suggestions are sound ones, and -- and will be supporting the 1 bill. I did want to mentlon that senator Hawkinson, along with ! Senator Rauschenberger and Senator Trotker, have been very diligent in workin: on an issue that I was concerned about at the time of original passage, and that was the issue of funding for some of the prevention issues that are going to be raised by this. We're -- we're currently in the process of negotiatinq on those issues . I think we 'll have some more info rmation for Members in the upcoming weeks. And I just wanted to thank Senator Hawkinsony Senator Rauschenberqer, Senator Trotterr for working on those issues, and I'm glad to support this bill. PRESIDING OFFICER : (SENATOR DONAHUE) Purther d iscussion? Senator Collins . SENATQR COLLINS: Thank you , Madam President . 1: too , rise in support of the Governor's recommendation to this bill. He did, in faet: make the bill beeter with those recommendations. And I hope that with the Governor 's recommendations, as wellr khak we are going to move forward on providing the necessary funding so that we can accomplish the original intent in this legislation. So I will also vote in the affirmative, and Would hope that the Members on ! this side of the aisle all would support this initiative. ! PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) I Further discussion?

SENATOR HAWKINSON

This is not an appropriations bill, Senator. The answer's no.

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DONAHUE)

PRESIDING OFFICER : (SENATOR DONAHUE) Senator Hendon .

SENATOR HENDON

I 've seen some other legislation come through this Chamber, especially recently, that were not appropriations legislation per se, but they still had some funding apparatus in there. In fact, I remember Senator Rauschenberger, the Chairman of Appropriations objectinq to that. So why didn't we kake that additional step and include some funding in -- in -- in this piece of legislation?

PRESIDING OFFICER (SENATOR DONAHUE)

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) Senator Hawkinson.

SENATOR HAWKINSON

As I spoke with the Governor when we were working on the amendatory veto , we need dollars , Senator - Senator? - we need dollars for prevention whether we have this bill or not. And I have been Meeting with Senator Obama. Wedre going to meet with i Senator Trotter. We lre scheduling meetings for next week , for a1l Senators, to try and educate the Members so that We can push for I prevention dollars in the budget that welre going to be voting on in a couple weeks. I Made that pledge when we had this bill the ! first timez and I'm eontinuing to diligently work for prevention ! dollars, as well as probation dollars and detention dollars. I PRESIDING OFFICER : (SENATOR DONAHUE) ! Senator Hendon. !

SENATOR HENDON

Oh. In conclusion, Madam President, 1et me say that While 1, l 13 STATE OP ILLINOIS I 90TH GENERAL ASSEMBLX REGULAR SESSION SENATE 'RANSCRIPT 100th Leqislative Day May 5: 1998 eertainly in my six years of being in this Chamber, find Senator Hawkinson to be clearly one of the most honorable and decent qentlemen in khis Chamber, and while I have eonfidence in Senator Obama and Senator Trotter, I must say that I am going to reluctantly vote Yes for this legislation: because without the prevention dollars, welre just playing games With -- With the chlldren. And this legislation, while it may be khae we need t0 do and quite worthy and well-drafted, does not have any money in there to keep khese children from going to the penitentiary in the first place: and -- and: thereforey that is my reluctance. But I will vote Cor it, hoping that the commitments that you made are kept. I know they fll be attempted to be kept on your partp but that other Members of the Chamber will support the necessary appropriations. Thank...
