SENAQOR PALMCR:

Senator Parker, I understand there was some opposition to this

billy in that the argumenk was made that ik's too narrowly defined

as far as who is the custodial keeper of children. Has -- have

you had any discussion? My analysis shows that you were going to

hold it on 2nd to have a meeting. Has the meeking gone forth?

PRESIDING OFPICER: (SENATOR DUDXCZ)

Senator Parker.

SENATOR PARKER:

ïes. That meetlng has gone forth, and the bill was amended.

There was a concern between -- they had SCOPE and School

Management Alliance on the one concernp and the okher was with a '

legal atd lobbyist and Department of Public Ald. They did meet.

The have come to an aqreement. And what it was is that we added

on, as an amendment, we added on two separate additional

clarifications for residency. One was custody exercised by an

adult caretaker who is receiving aid under the Illinois Public Aid

Code for the pupil who resides with khat adulk for reasons other

than having access to the educational programs of the district. .I

So that -- helped Public Aid. And the other that we added was 'l

custody exercised by an adult who demonstrakes that he or she has

assumed, and exercises, legal responsibility for the pupil and

provides the pupil with a regular fixed niqhtkime abode for

purposes other than having access to the educational programs of

the district. So it has been amended and everybody is in

agreement.


Senator Palmer. Any further diseussion? Senator Berman.

SENATOR BERMAN:

Thank youz Mr. President. I Wanted to compliment the sponsor.

There Was some serious concerns when the bill was presented to

Thank you, Mr. Presidentr Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate.

House Bill 3436 came to khe Senate on a unanimous vote by the

House, because lt dealt with the stopping of motor vehicles on

railroad tracks. And *he changes were supported, and are

supported, by the School Bus Transportation Association and the

Illinois Railroad Association. In committee we added several

amendments. 0ne was ko require all school buses, whether theydre

in charter serviee or not, to stop at railroad crossings. We had I

a amendment that would allow Ehat school pre-trip inspections

could be done by mechanics, rather than the driver, because l

they're better acquainted and better qualified to do so. We also '

had changed the vehicle widths as created by the National HighwayI

System. That was supporked by IDOT. We closed a loophole in the;

railroad grade crossing law, and ik's supported by the Illinois

Commerce Commission. And the last amendment Was requested by the

Township Officials, which dealt with khe commercial drivers'!

license Act about the drug and alcohol abuse testing for small

townships under three thousand population. And 1111 answer any

questions; otherwise, I'd ask for your support.i

Thank you, Mr. President, Ladies and Genelemen of ehe Senate.

House Bill 3670 contains the sex offender nokificakion and violent

juvenile offender portions of Public Ac* 89-428, which was lateryear's Senate Bill 721, which, as you'll recallw was held to be

unconstitutional by a Cook Pounty Circuit Court Judge last week, I

believe, based upon the single subjeck rule, because the bill wastled wlth several other provisions which the court found to be

unrelated. What this bill does is it simply beings back khe sex

offender notification provisions and a few other criminal laW

changes, such as the creation of a predatory criminal sexual

assaulk act, and a few amendmenks to the Code of Corrections in

the Juvenile Court Act, and I1d be happy to answez any queBtions.

We had a roll call on this vote last yearz which Was 49 to

I thought Cook County was not in it -- affected by this bill.


Senator Fitzgerald.

SENATOR FITZGERALD:

Cook County is affected by this bill.


Any fureher discussion? Senator Palmer.

SENATOR PALMER:

Thank youp Mr. President. A question of the sponsor.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ)ISponsor indicates he will yield

. Senator Palmer. r

SENATOR PALMER:

Senator, I couldn't quite understand what you were saying jbefore, and I don't want to mix apples and oranges. You were

. 18




speaking abouk child sex offenders. Are you talking about children

who commit sexually offensive acts, or adults?


Senator Fitzgerald.

SENATOR FITZGEQALD:

The Child Sex Offender Act refers to the offense against a

child, not a child committing the act.


Senator Palmer.

SENATOR PALMER:

Okay. That's what I couldn'k understand. Senator Collins was

asking about age groups ynd I thoughk you said, that schools wouldbe notified, but when you said that, youdre referring to adults

who return ko the community and have committed offenses against

children. Okay. So children are not part of khis, except as

victims.


Senator Fitzgerald.

SENATOR FITZGENALD:

Exactly. They're not part of the sex offender notification

part. There is a separate section, though, in the bill that

amends the Code of Correckions to mandate a sentence of life

imprisonment on a thirkeen- to sixteen-year-old who murders a

child under twelve during the course of a criminal sexual assault,

but that's a separate part of the bill and doesn't have anything

to do with the sex offender notification provisions.

Secretary, read the bill.


House Bill 2651.




Senator Hawkinson.

SENATOR HAWKINSON:

23




Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 2651, as amended, is

brought to us because of the plight of a school district in -- in

my district, as well as one in Senator Shadldls district and one

in Senator Bowles' district. Because of a reassessment of some

industrial property, a small unik district: Illinois Valley

Central, stands to lose a million dollars this year because of@

'

this reassessment from thirky-six million ko twelve million. This

bill would allow that district and a couple of others for one year

to use the prior-year EAV, which would not make up khat

difference, but would allow them to make up some four hundred

thousand dollars under the fornula. I know that this would come

from the rest of our districts who benefit under khe formula. It

is not without precedent. We have done it in former Senakor

Rigney's district, and in a number of other districts over khe

years. Be happy to answer any questions, otherwise would ask for

your support of House Bill 2651, as amended.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ) i

Is there any discussion? Senakor Welch.

SENATOR WELCH:

I had a question of the sponsor.


Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Welch.

SENATOR WELCR:!

Senator Hawkinson, just to put on the record. I asked you

this in committee. Does this apply, at all, to the nuclear power lplants, which are having their tax assessments lowered?


Senator Hawkinson. .

SENATOR HAWKINSON:

Thank you, Mr. President. No, Senator, it does not. In I

particular, because Ehe one disErict thak we discussed in

committee, staff has investigated: and because of the wealth of

24




that district, they are a flat-grant district and would not stand

to qain any under this legislation.

PRESIDING OFFICBR: (SENATOR DUDYCZ)

Any further discussion? Senator Rea.

SENATOR REA:

Yes. Mr. President, a question of the sponsor.


Sponsor indicates he will yield, Senator Rea.

SENATOR REA:

I know thak this deals with two school districts in Peoria

County, but will this in any way -- are we narrow enough in the

scope that it will not affeck any other school districts in the

State?


Senator Hawkinson.

SENATOR HAWKINSON:

No. Senator Bowles can address, I believe, is it the East

Alton District, which will also benefit from this legislation.

Wood River/East Alton is it? Senator *- I'd yield to SenatorBowles.


Senator Bowles.

SENATOR BOWLES:

Thank youe Senakor Hawkinson. And, Senakor Reaz Ehe school

districts that are affected by khis particular piece of

legislation are specifically identlfied in the bill. I have two

of them: School District 14 and School District l5. And the loss

of EAV is due to the closure of Amocor and EAV consideration for

Clark and Shell.

To either of the sponsors: Would this, for instance, in any l

way affect any of the school districts, since it is spelled out

that way, in ny district? Would I have any school districts that

this would be -- that would be affected?


Senator Hawkinson.

SENATOR HAWKINSON:

None that Ifm aware of, Senator.

IPRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ)iIAny further discussion? Senator Palmer.

SENATOR PALMER:

Thank you, Mr. President. I am going to vote for this bill,

but I do want to point out to the Body how problematic it is for

our schools to depend solely upon property taxes, when here is a ;

very good example of the rug being cut out from under schools.

Yes, this gives khem the money for one more year by a kind of

slight of hand, but the problem is still there. And I want to --

us to take this seriously and nok continue tinkering with our

children, and this is a very good example of having to do that.i


Any further discussion? Senator Berman.

SENATOR BERMAN:

Thank you, Mr. President. I intend to vote for khis bill, but

as I told the sponsor in commitkee, I think it's importank to 1

recognize thak the cost of khis bill, including the amendments to

it, is approxinately a million dollars. That means that one

school district, the Chicago school districtz is contributing two

hundred thousand dollars - approximately twenty percent - towards

this. I jusk make that point, not khat I'm asking for any charity!for Chicago

, but I just want to give -- to ask everybody to sivethe same kind of response to my school diskrict and to your school

districts that welre giving to these school districts. And -- and

I think that it's important thak we be responsive and don't justsay: ''Wedre going to impose this requirement and that requirement,

SENATOR WALSH:

Thank you, Mr. President. House Bill 3199 provides that a

manufacturer, distributor or importing distributor may furnish

certain promotional -- free promotional devices or materials to a Iholder of a special event retailer's or special use permit license

if the purpose of the devices or materials is used to promoke the

special event. It increases the number of types of signs and the

te dollar value of the sign that a retail licensee may Iaggregai

display. I'd be happy to answer any questions, and ask for a

favorable vote.


Is there any discussion? Senator Jacobs.

SENATOR JACOBS:

Thank you, Mr. President. Would the Senator yield for a

question? !


Sponsor indicates he will yield. Senator Jacobs.

SENATOR JACOBS:

As you know, I'm in strong support of this legislation, but

for legislative intent, Senator, under the dollar limitations

l

28

I

STATE OF ILLINOIS89TH GENEQAL ASSEMBLY


l05kh Legislative Day May l4, 1996 ,

1iimposed in this bill for signs: it states that these limits are

per manufacturer. Does nanufacturer mean per brewery name? For

example, could the Miller Brewing Company receive a dollar limit

for Miller beer and then an additional dollar limit under Plank

Road Brewery, even though both breweries are owned and operated by

Miller?

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DUDYCZ)1

!SENATOR WALSH: 4

The answer to that is no, Senator. The dollar limitation is

imposed upon khe overall parent manufacturer of the beer.

Whatever brand is bought (sic) into the State by the manufacturer,that the manufacturer is limited to that dollar amount specified

in the bill. This will prevent one manufacturer that uses several

brewery names to have a sign advantage in the marketplace overi

another manufacturer. !i


Is there any other further discussion? If note the question :Eis, shall House Bill 3199 pass. All those in favor will vote Aye. '

Opposed will voke Nay. And the voting is open. Have all voted
