Thank you, Mr. President. Inquiry of the Chair. Thank you for giving the schedule on committees. Is it the Chair’s intention -- the Chair earlier represented that we would get through 2nds once today and once tomorrow. Is it the Chair’s intention to get all the way through the Calendar - 2nds - before we break for committees this afternoon?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) I was just told we will get as far as possible. Have a few more pages left, Senator Righter. Continue on. Senate Bill 1638. Senator Trotter. Madam Secretary, please read the bill.
Senate Bill 1638. (Secretary reads title of bill) 2nd Reading of the bill. The Committee on -- the Committee on Pensions and Investments adopted Amendment No. 1.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) 54 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 32nd Legislative Day 3/30/2009 3rd Reading. Senator Delgado, on Senate Bill 1643. Senator Delgado. Out of the record. Senator Haine, on Senate Bill 1647. Out of the record. Senator DeLeo, on Senate Bill 1648. Madam Secretary, please read the bill. With leave of the Body, we’ll return to Senate Bill 1648. Senate Bill 1657. Senator Lightford. Madam Secretary, please read the bill.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) 3rd Reading. Senator Righter, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
Thank you, Mr. President. Inquiry of the Chair. I noticed at the bottom of page 43, Senate Bill 1666 was skipped over. I’m sure it was an error on the Presiding Officer’s part. I wonder if we could go - with leave of the body - go back to the bottom of page 43, Senate Bill 1666, and ask the sponsor if he’d 55 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 32nd Legislative Day 3/30/2009 like to move that bill to 3rd Reading, please?
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) We’re -- we’re going to come back to it. We’ll get to it. Senator Righter, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
Thank you, Mr. President. Point of order. There has been a lot of rhetoric about Members being allowed to control their own bills and move them forward and -- and have a vote, and I think this is an opportunity -- this is an early opportunity here for the Majority to demonstrate that that’s going to be the case. I would ask again, with leave of the Body, to move back to bottom of page 43 of the Calendar to Senate Bill 1666 and ask the sponsor if he would like to move the bill from 2nd Reading to 3rd Reading.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) My understanding, Senator Righter, that there’s an amendment that’s being considered, so that’s the reason why we’re not looking to move this forward. We will get to this bill and the amendment. Senator Righter, for what purpose…
Thank you, Mr. President. Already today, we have gone through a truckload of bills, both Democrat and Republican, that have amendments pending somewhere in the process that were called on the Order of 2nd Reading. The sponsor was asked whether or not they wanted to move them to 3rd and they were allowed to do so. Senate Bill 1666 is no different than that. Now I appreciate that some may have a political objection to Senate Bill 1666, but if the Member’s going to be allowed to control their own bill, as has been stated more than once in 56 STATE OF ILLINOIS 96th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 32nd Legislative Day 3/30/2009 this Chamber and elsewhere, then we should go back to the bottom of page 43, return to the Order of Senate Bill 1666 and please ask the Member if they would like to move their bill from 2nd to 3rd.
PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR CLAYBORNE) Senator Righter, you -- you -- you still want to speak? Okay. Okay. Okay. You’re prepared. Okay. With leave of the Body, we’re going to go back to page 43, Senate Bill 1648. Madam Secretary, please read the bill.
