It came out of the Senate Judiciary Committee…

House Bill 1274. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill. 176 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Halvorson.
Thank you, Mr. President. Basically this bill addresses the reclassification of a vehicle’s registration. It simply requires the Secretary of State to issue an owner of a vehicle who’s reclassifying the registration of the vehicle from a flat rate to an apportioned rate. Before what would happen is, they would have to send their money back to the Secretary of State and then get a refund. This way now, the Secretary of State keeps whatever it is and the person just sends that much extra in; otherwise, it’s just going back and forth. So, this simplifies the process if someone sends in the wrong amount for a registration. That’s it.

House Bill 1280. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Maloney.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. House Bill 1280 clarifies when consecutive sentences are mandatory by removing what is called the “single course of conduct” language. It does not expand when consecutive sentences are mandatory. It expands the discretion of the trial judge to impose consecutive sentences in circumstances involving offenses other than the mandatory offenses if the judge believes that consecutive sentences are 177 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 appropriate, whether or not the crimes are part of the single source of conduct language. Be happy to answer any questions.

House Bill 1490. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 1490 is an initiative of the Illinois County Treasurers’ Association. The bill resolves problems encountered by county treasurers when, for an example, a property owner grants an interest in a property and then presents that specification to the treasurer and requests the property tax bill be broken up amongst all those with interest in the property. Currently a county treasurer must allocate the tax bill amongst the interest-holders. This places an administrative burden on some of those municipalities in preparing multiple tax bills for the same property, and this will leave it to a decision of the county treasurer’s discretion. I ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? If not, the question is, shall House Bill 1490 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed will vote 178 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 57, the Nays are none, none voting Present. House Bill 1490, having received the required constitutional majority, is declared passed. On the Order of House Bills 3rd Reading is House Bill 1530. Mr. Secretary, read the bill.
House Bill 1530. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Hunter.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 1530 is -- is in regards to the Mercury Fever Thermometer Prohibition Act. The intent of the bill is to limit the risk of mercury -- mercury exposure and to avoid contamination. It’s -- it’s almost identical to House {sic} Bill 371, which passed out of here unanimously. The only difference between Senate Bill 371 and 1530 is that HB1530 also bans the sale, distribution or promotional gifts of mercury-added novelty products. There is no fiscal impact on this budget. The proponents are the Illinois Hospital and -- and Health Systems Association, the Illinois Environmental Council, the Illinois State Dental Society, EPA and the Illinois Medical Society, Mr. President -- Mr. Chairman. I ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Mr. President.
Mr. President. Sorry. Ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator -- apparently Senator Shadid must have a fever. Senator Shadid.
Mr. -- Mr. President, I rise in strong support of this bill. Thank you.

House Bill 1640. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. House Bill 1640 creates the Use of Credit Information in Personal Insurance Act. Currently, there is just a -- a line in the -- in the -- in the -- current legislation which allows the sole use of credit, and that’s wide enough to run a truck through. That’s too broad, and this bill will regulate the use 180 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 of credit information for personal insurance so that consumers are afforded certain protections with respect to the use of that information. It’s a National Conference of Insurance Legislators’ bill and it was created by the late Representative Osmond. I ask for an Aye vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? Senator Brady.
Thank you, Mr. President. For -- just stand in strong support of Senator Jacobs’ legislation.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Woolard.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This bill expands the authority and gives the ability to the Director of Agriculture, along with the managers of both DuQuoin and Springfield State Fairs, to expand the operation to accommodate those projects that would be good and fruitful for the State in those locations, and I would encourage your support for this great piece of legislation.

House Bill 3506. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Jacobs.
Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This is an initiative of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and it specifies that the Pollution Control Board has the authority to require operators of sewage works to be certified as technically -- competent. I know of no opposition. Ask for your support.

House Bill 3508. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill. 182 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Clayborne.
Thank you, Mr. President, Members of the Senate. House Bill 3508 is an initiative of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and it just allows that Environmental Management Systems Agreements may be executed with participants in the Federal Performance Task Force {sic} (Track Program) if the provision of the -- of the Agreements are acceptable to the EPA. It deletes the provision that requires the Agency to adopt rules concerning Agreements if six or more Agreements are adopted, thus permitting IEPA to adopt rules to implement this regardless of the number of Agreements aboard. Provides that the Agency may terminate any Agreement if the participants in the Federal Performance -- Task Force ceases. Basically, all that means, that there’s a Federal Performance Task Force and, basically, if there are Agreements that come about as a result of IEPA being able to adopt rules concerning these Agreements, then it gives IEPA the flexibility to enter into these Agreements. I ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Is there discussion? If not, then the question is, shall House Bill 3508 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Those opposed, Nay. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 58, the Nays are none, none voting Present.

Mr. Secretary, read the bill.
House Bill 3522. (Secretary reads title of bill) 3rd Reading of the bill.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3522 amends the Illinois Insurance Code concerning false addresses for 183 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 automobile insurance in the State of Illinois. Prohibits an applicant from finding -- prohibits an applicant from providing a false address on an automobile insurance application. The violation is a business offense punishable by a fine of not less than a thousand and one dollars, not more than twelve hundred dollars. This is a bill that passed through committee unanimously, and it is a project sponsored by the City Clerk of Chicago. Ask for a favorable vote.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Discussion? Senator Brady.
Mr. President, sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Indicates he will yield. Senator Brady.
Senator, under this legislation, you create an offense that’s finable and punishable. Who -- who collects the money and where does the money go?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
The -- the Clerk’s office and the Clerk collects the -- the fine.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brady.
So, you’re -- you’re suggesting the enforcement mechanism would be a -- enforced by the -- what -- what jurisdiction has the right to enforce this?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
The Clerk’s office, Senator Brady.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brady.
To enforce it?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval. 184 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003
Yes.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Brady.
Who prosecutes it, Senator?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
The Attorney General’s office, Senator Brady.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brady.
Therefore, if they prosecute it, it would then be enforced by the courts, not the Clerk’s office?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
I think there’s a joint responsibility for enforcement of this bill, Senator Brady. I think the Clerk’s office is primarily responsible for implementation of the bill with enforcement by -- matters brought to the attention by the Clerk by the -- the AG’s office or the State’s Attorney’s office.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Brady.
Senator, I think I understand your intent in this legislation, or at least the House sponsor’s intent, but it doesn’t seem clear to us in -- in the manner in which this would be prosecuted, enforced and then where the revenues actually would go. Just have some serious questions about that. I voted for your bill in committee, but I’d hoped that it would be cleaned up a little bit and I’m not sure that answers what we had hoped to be cleaned up toward.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Syverson.
Thank you. Question for the sponsor.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 185 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 Indicates he will yield. Senator Syverson.
This is an issue with -- with auto insurance where an individual has -- has falsified their address. Is that correct?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
That’s correct, Senator Syverson.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Syverson.
Right now, what is the current law for falsifying information on a insurance application?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
I didn’t hear the question, Senator Syverson. Would you please repeat? Thank you.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Syverson.
Question was, now what is the current law when a person falsifies information on a -- an application, an auto application? What does the current law enforce and what does that do for the coverages currently in place?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
Obviously, the policy is not enforceable and I imagine that the -- the proper form for filing a complaint would be with the State’s Attorney’s office.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Syverson.
Okay. I guess -- I’m a little bit lost. If -- if you falsify information on a -- on an insurance form, we already have, I think, steps in place. I think you’re right. It -- it voids out the coverages and that the insurance industry can -- has -- can certainly take action against the individual. I 186 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 guess I’m not sure where the -- how the Clerk’s office comes into play between a -- between a private individual and the insurance industry in -- in falsifying those claims. I guess I’m not sure what the relationship is with the Clerk’s office.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval. I assume that’s a question.
I think the responsibility -- what -- what the Clerk of the City of Chicago is trying to do is trying to collect its wheel tax. You know, what people do -- what many people do in the City of Chicago is they provide false addresses on their insurance application so they avoid the wheel tax in the City of Chicago. What the City Clerk is trying to do here is trying to enforce its local taxing authority.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Further discussion? Senator Syverson.
Okay. Maybe this is getting to the point then. Is the goal of this for the Clerk to be able to collect their City tax? They’re trying to -- we have individuals in Chicago who are putting down a -- a fake address so they don’t have to pay the City tax? Is that -- is that what we’re looking at, or the…
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
Well, that -- that’s clearly the -- the right answer, and also to get better insurance rates outside -- that they would receive better, favorable insurance rates outside of the City of Chicago.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Syverson.
Last question. I -- I guess I have some -- some concerns about this. I’m not sure what laws are currently in place, and if there’s a -- if there’s a fraud being done, who prosecutes that and where those dollars are supposed to go to. And I guess I can’t see from this two-paragraph legislation where the -- where the enforcement goes to. And so I guess -- I wish we had more information on it, but I’m -- I just -- I think there’s a 187 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 lot of confusion as to what the reasoning and -- and the goal for this legislation is. But thanks for answering the questions.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Righter.
Thank you, Mr. President. Will sponsor yield?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Righter.
Senator, I -- I represent a university community and, like I assume all the -- all the universities in Illinois, a number of those students come from the City of Chicago. And I guess my concern or what I’d ask you to -- to help work through with me is the situation where the parents of a college student have a vehicle that the student’s going to use; the student takes the car down to Charleston and then applies -- you know, wants to get a -- an auto insurance policy there, because the rates are going to be cheaper, but that’s where the car is being driven; and they put their -- their house number or their apartment number or their dorm number -- dorm room number or whatever as the address on their application for insurance. The question I have for you is, are they falling -- are they -- do they fall under the scope of -- of House Bill 3522?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
I would say no because there isn’t a -- a knowing intent to defraud the municipality.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Righter.
Does the -- the bill contain specific language that says that there -- they have to do so knowingly with the intent to defraud the City of Chicago or the municipality?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
188 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 According to the -- the bill reading, Senator Righter, it says, paragraph (b), “A person who knowingly violates this Section is guilty of a business offense.”
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Righter.
I guess that’s the point I’m making. I mean, do they knowingly violate the Section if they put down on the insurance application that they live at XYZ Apartment in Charleston rather than in Chicago? That’s what I’m asking. I mean, are -- do they have to knowingly put down a -- a -- whatever might be termed a false address with the intent to evade the taxes or do they just have to put down a different address? Because then, then I think there’s a problem here, because there’s -- I’m sure there’s students from your district and most of our districts that are going to college and they’re doing exactly that.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
Senator Righter, this bill is not aimed to go after college students or parents of college students. This bill goes after those who are trying to avoid the wheel tax in the City of Chicago and get a better insurance rate. Clearly…
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) All right. Further discussion? Senator Righter.
Well, and I -- I appreciate that -- what the intent of the statute or what the statute’s aimed at, but I don’t know that that addresses my concern for the student who puts down the address of where they’re living at college at the time because that’s where the vehicle’s being driven. And they would get lower auto insurance rates for that. I mean, under this bill, is that person, when they fill that out, are they going to be liable under this -- under this legislation?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) Senator Sandoval.
No, Senator Righter.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DEMUZIO) 189 STATE OF ILLINOIS 93rd GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 39th Legislative Day 5/6/2003 Further discussion? If not, Senator Sandoval may close. Senator Sandoval, you wish to close?
