I believe the Representatfve is going to call Sénate Bill
78.....immediate1y after this one is disposed'of. There'
no need for this Bi11. I think that we should oppose
this Bill and at least to tàke it out of the record for
now...... If the Representative doesn't want to do that,
then we ought to defeat the Bill and until we caa get som
answers to the questioas that ve need and I would ask for
a 'nô' vote on senate Bill 22.1,

for a11 seasons. I think that every Member of thfs House,
regardless of their feelings, about Leadership in the
House or Senate, has a good reason to vote against this
piece of legislation. In the first instaace there are
those among the Members of the House who think there are
too many Leaders now and that they dontt do anything '
anyway. To add more Leaders to a Leadership team would be
a waste qf taxpayers' money and something we ought not do.. . . .. . . .. '
' ' ' There'are.tbose of us', however, wio also feel that we hèed ' '
more Leaders in the House. When we made an attempt to
amend this Bill to include the Housey the Sponsor of the
Bill resisted those Amendments and felt he wanted to take
care of the Senate only: and not do anything for his peopl
fn the House of Representatives. So, for those of us who

feel there should be more Leadersy that's a good reason '
why we should vote agatnsE this Bil1. Now, Just last
week we passed a Bi11 to the Senate for some $350,000 .m,
or some $50,000 for the Democratic side of the'senate
. .as I recall: and I think it was $8,000 for the
Republican side. I1e gave the Senate enough money to
mperate withy with those dollars, and T don't think it's
fair the :senate should have extra Leadership and the
House should not have èxtra Leadership. There are people
on 60th sides of the aisle who feel strongly that the
Leadership responsibility and duty necessitate and re- '
quire a much broader Leâdership base. I know of many
people, on the Majority side of the aisley who would like
the opportunity to serve in that Leadership capacity.....
who would like to participate in the process aad will be
shut out again'this Session because the Sponsor of tbis ' .
Bi11 has refused to accept Amendments ...refused to
accept Amendments to broaden the teadership base in the' '
House of Representatives....To those of you who feel ther
are too many Leaders already, and we don't do anything
. anyway,. I doq't mind that criticism. I'd just like to fïnd
out how you realized that....how you found that out. But,
a11 of you, no matter who you are: ought to vote 'no' on
Senate Bill 22 and the next Bill, Senate Bill 78.19

that there be a cloud over this Bfl1. 1 don't think that
there ought to be a suggestion that a deficiency of the

I would deflne everyone as a junior Member who is not
getting extra pay for being a Leader in the General
Assembly and that means a1l but about ten or tvelve people
0ne Member has said this should not be an issue between
the House and the Senate. I would suggest this 'should be
an issue between the House and the Seante. Even before
Representative Houlihan suggests that the Senate is trying
to blackmail us into.... passing this Bi11 with no Amend-
meat, in order to get our secretariest' pay. Now if that
is the case, we certainly ought to shove it down their
throats. Whethèr it's in that case or not: however, I
would remfnd everyone here that there fs three of us for
. every one Senator. Nowy does it not make sense that for
every extra Leader in the' Senate, there should be three ,
extra Leaders in the House? There are six people àttting
in thié chamber: one of whom I am not, who will end up
being a Leader in either G e Republican Party or the
Democratic Party strudture and be paid extra money and .
have extra responsfbflities and extra accessy whlch is
all-important in this Body, if we will only use the Senate. . Lu y x. . r .- 27 . u- ( r j I* .. .. . given leverage that is before us on Third Reading today.

I would suggest we ought to not pass this Bill. We ought
to 'force the Sponsor to brtng it back to Second Reading
and to amend onto it an extra three Leaders for each side
of the aisle before it is allowed to pass. If we dounot
do this, we who are not in tbe present Leadershlp of the
' jy' Illinois Ceneral Assembly are just stupid.

Legis'lation .or in this Bill is the fact that the
Senate was makipg an effort to organize itàelf'. And it
came to an agreement over there and I think the House
has a responsibility, if we are going to have an orderly
process of governmenty to help ft honor its agreement in
reference to his Leadership. We know that the Senate
was bogged down for many many weeks trying work through
a very difficult situation and I believe that the House
of Representatives has a responsibilityy since an agree-
ment was made: to help them honor their agreement. I
believe if the pkoblem had been on this side of the
rotunday I believe kf the House of Representatives had had
a problem that the Senate would be helping us. And because
welre talking about the only way that the Senate could
come to an agreement so that there would be orderly affairs
of government and so that government would function: I -
believe that we have a responsibility tp see that they...
and help them carry out their agreement by voting for th'is
Bill so that we can go forth with the business of the
gover.nment' of ihe .ftate of Illinois.n4'* yy . .z - .. . j . .= Speaoef Dakis: Any furthir-explanation? Ha'e é11 Voted Vho

Houlihany Dan: HWhay if the zoning ordinance of the unit of
local government does not have a provision withia its
ordinancey for a sanitary landfill? Is this a permitted
use or is it a special use?''
Mahar: NThis is a special criteria which must be set up by
local governments in 'order to comply with this ordtnanc .
In other words the thrust of it is for them to set up
the criteria for considering a landfill as a special use
'.... .under this ordinancey after it has been approved or
submitted to the EPA, and has been considered and adopte
by a loèal municipality. It forms the guideline then
for a requirement for a sanitary lapdfill.''
Houlthan, Dan: HCan units of local government avoid the effec
of your proposed Act sinply by failing to provide, in *- '
' i i dinance sanitary landf.ills either as athe r zon ng or y

they can do that.''
Houlihan, Dan: Hlfhat I'm getting at though is the point where
' . . . .they sfmply don't make any provision in their zoning
ordinance, eitber by way of a permitted'use or as a
special use, for sanitary landfills. If they do that: is
the net effeet of this Amendment simply to insure that
no sanitary landftll could ever be established within
' '
' ' the corp'orate ltmits of ' s.uch a munlckp.altty?''
Mahar: ''under the present law, the sanitary landfill permit is
granted by the EPA.....withOut their consent in any way,
shape or form. Nows in order to have local Jurisdtctfon

the Chicago Internatfonal. The Mid-continent show will

example which happened in Champaign just about a month

It vas a good referendum and I even voted for tt. But:
the communtty voted it down with the exception of those

1aw in Illinois is that people who have been residing
in the state for 30 days and in that area for 30 days
can vote and a11 that Mrs. Satterthwaite is trying to
do here is to put in the Statutes, the practice that is
currently existlng in the State of Illfnois. Soy there
really shouldn't be any opposition to tbis Bi11.....
because it is the 1aw and it's a good Bill and the law
should be so that everybody can understand it in'the
books that you can vote ..-.register and vote if you've

of the Board of Elections of the State of Illfnois,
subsequent to.zkw .those court cases. If I may take
the time to read to you just a few sentences fron that
court decisiony it says, Q t is sufficient to note here
that 30.days appears to be an ample period of tine for
the state to complete whatever administrative tasks are
necessary to prevent fraud. The court below concluded
that the cutoff point for registration, 30 days before
an electiony reflects the Judgment of the Legislature
that 30 days is an adequate period in which the election
officials can affect whatever measures may be necessary
in each particular case confrontfng themy to insure
purity of the ballot and prevent dual registration and
dual voting' The other portion of the court decision
indicated that you could not have Long residentlal re-
quirements within the state because that inhibited that
person's right to vote and that peksonls right to travel.
It: fndicated that where the state had 'established a
durational requirements such as 30 days in the precinet,
tbat was the time required for processing the applicatio
- to make sure there was not fraud involved and.that a;Q% !. ' . ' . l * (! ' - * *longer duration witbin the state would not be justified.'
Sandquls'E: HWhat you are really saying is that the State Board
of Elections and the County Clerks have said that our
requirement of six months is too long....in the state.fl
Satterthwafte: ''That is right.''
Sandquist: llAnd that....what you said about the 30 day re-
quLrement, that case was where the Legislature had spec-
tftcally required only a 30 day. So,....''
Sattertbwaite: 'Qust as Illfnois requires 30 days in the
precinct ia order to register and to process that regis-
tration, yes, Sir.''
sandquist: ''But, what we really are doing here if we pass this
-Bi11. we are making it a requirement of only 30 days, in
a precinct, to vote on a1l elec'tions.- .not Just federal
elections...''. ..-.:* x.. '

voting they cannot require more tban that time limitatio

Indiana, often tfaes have tc pay for four years, some-
times five years, the outvof-state tuition .there. Illin is
is the only state that doesn't have a uniform or minimum
requirement. And, that is exactly what thfs Bill seeks
to do....it reserves to the governing board the authori y
to esrablish whatever criterïa they wish to establish in
this regard. Elt.merely sets a minumum basic requirement .
of 12 months. In Illinoié now, we find that some in-
stitutions merely a drivers license or a voters regis-
tration card permits a person to qualify for instate
tuition. When our state has a surplus in the treasury
perhaps that could be permitted: but today with our
fiscal problems in Illinois we cannot afford a 1ax.....
a lenient policy such as that. Ne can't afford to
educate a11 tbese students from other states without at
least obtaining a bare minimum of 12 months. lhe tuitio
of our Illinois students here in Illinois is being raise

read it further you can find out that a student can sub-

for a year. If you wonder hou that may, in terms, effect

some in terms of s'tudent enrollmenty Yut stop to'think ' '
for a minute, some of the other programs. I contacted

Illtnois State Scholarship Commisston and akked him what
he thought this Bill would do to the State scholarship

directly effect them. However, he says 'this 'commission
wfll not fgnore the ufll of the General 'Assembly'. If
the House Bill 155 passes: the Commission would need to

O'Brien: ''Mr. Speaker and Members of the House: House Bill
' 348 is a Bill that is familiar to many of you.. . .
Ptherwise known as the Bill to lift the ban on meat
sales after 6 p.m. in the Chtcago land area. House Bill
348 is long overdue, Mr. Speaker, It appears to me,
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. that this issue
is probably the most important issue to come before the
Members of the 80th General Assembly. I know 6f no othe
issue that infuriates the constituents of the State of
Illinois m8re than the meat ban. The meat ban affeccs
the the lives of approximately half of the people of the
State of Illinois. The unioa contracts that the retail
- - meat cutters negotiated with the retail stores affects
al1 of Chicagoy a1l of Cook County, parts of Lake County,
and parts of McHenry County. This ban prohibits increas-u ; ' ' ' u.
ing numbeyp of- families in which the adult members' are. ' . - ' .. ..L-.- - : p.
employed for ' one of the necessities of life....'red
meatd- - .Life styles and shopping patterns have greatly
changed over the years and the retail stores stay open to
accommodate the changing work patterns. The Meat
cutters Union has been very stubborn in this area and not
made fresh meat available to the consumers of the State
of Illinois at prime time. I urge, Mr. Speaker and
Members of this Housey to vote in favor of this Bill.

this legislation will have on exiscing contracts where
the ban on meat sales has been collectively bargained?
O'Brien: HRepresentative Madisony this Bill was drafted to
stay out of the contract that is presently in effect.
This Bill does nôt affe.ct the present contract that the
retail stores and the meat cutters have negotiated and
it prohibits the meat cutters and the retail stores from
renegotiating this provision which would ban the sale .
of meats in their new contract. I might add that the
present contract....terminates September 24 1977 but
this Bill does not affect the present contract. We
didn't wantuto get into contract negotiations and so
forth because the Rill would wind up in court. The Bill
' simply prohibits the union from renegotiating this in
their new contract or extending this provision in the
existing contract.''

woûld like to personally commend you for taking up a
Q fight whtch really was beguh by a member, not of this
House electeds but a Member who has been very active in
this House and that is our Parliamentarian, Dave Epstein.
As I recally Dave Epstein had ffrst brought this issue
to some of our attention and Representative Lechowicz an I
first Sponsored legislation to deal with this issue and
he had told me he was always interested in goiùg out and
buying meat after 6 o'clock but that he was always pro-
hibited fràm doing that and he is: as you know, a member
of our 13th Legislative District and it would be a fine
testimonial to him and his fine work here that we would

ludicrous ban, the sale of meat after 6 o'clock, from the
union contract.''

and 1'm pleased to say that a majority of the Committee

identieal to a Bi11 that was passed by this House two
years ago and was passed by the Senate and went to the ' *'

the requirement that interest should be patd annually'y
by the landlord to the tenant. On balancey I think I
must vote against the Bill in the hope that we can bring
it back to Second Reading or come in with a subsequent
Biàl which simply extends the existing 1aw to the rest
of the state. I know the.sponsor of this lawy Senator
Merloy is very strongly opposed to thfs Bi1l in the
Present form. There are several reasons why he is
Oppos'ed. 0ne of whfch he feels.....it guts the basic
concept of the Bi11.......of the law; that is: that
tenants should receive interest at regular intervals
for their méney. If we're going to hold on to the
money Of the tenants not pay them interest, at 'least#
'
we should have a provision 'in this Bill for compound
interest. We don't even have that. We also have the
problem of....what about a situition where a lease is .
contfnued and continued and there is no security de-
' posit payed back. The tengnt may never see ....eithe'r. '
the security deposit or the interest. I would urge the
Members to vote against thiq measure in the hope that
we can deal with the good parts of this Bill n ..either
by taking it baèk to Second Reading or through subsequeat
legislation .''

pounded fnterest on interesty would be paid to the lesse .

think it's a reasonable approachy Mr. Speaker and Member

passed it, unfortunately the former Gdvernor subjected i
to an Amehdatory Vete. I think in a1l fafrnessy we ought
to pass ity have the Senate deliberate, give it its con-
sideration and then have the Goveraor act upon it. I

changing of students fn thelr dfstrict where they have
. spent moneys'in developing classrooms for special ed-
tion and now Vhese classrooms are no longer needed '.uca
for that special education region. Nowy this 1aw .'..or
this Bi11 would permit the school districts to use these
special education classrooms for other classroom facil-
ities with the permission of the Regional Superintendent
of Schools and the State Superintendent of Schools.N
We have ..'...the Ameidment has clarified a couple of
points, one is that in the event of a cooperative ' '.'
district. where several or more school districts are
grouped together, that the vote must be unanimous in
that cooperative district before any particular special
education facilit# is changed. This would provide
flexibility Which.the school districts badly need and
' ' kee'p in mind that the school distticts or school boards '
cannot arbitrarily do this, they must have the Permissio'
' Of the Regional Superintendent of' Schools and the State
' supertntendent of schools. This would help most schooli .' 5. dïstrfcts and of course does not cost any money.

special education population in Illinois schools? Is
it going up or is it going down? Do you have figures?'l
Lucco: ''I think that is a good question, but I don't think
it relates to this particular Bil1. The thing is that
in each individual school district the populatioa of
srecial edMcation may be shifting. Wltereasy you have
prepared a room nicely for....and rightfully so..o.for
a special education classy in let's say building 'A',

for the special ed classes.rl
Pullen: nIs it not the case that most special education progra s
are run on a district wide basis, because of the low
incidence. rather than on an attendance area by attendanc
area basfs?''
Lucco: ''Yes, but in many cases throughout the i'tate we have
cooperative units formed. ïlhere in my districty for
example, there are five schools tbat are operating in a
special education cooperative unit. Now then, many of
these students are beihg transported. as you say, to

Pullen: nThank you. This Bill is'absolutely incredible. The

increasing even though the general enrollment in some
districts may be decreasing. We are now faced with a
federal act. if you will excuse me mentioning that
governmenty which' may be about to force us to include
even more stùdents under special education. We have had.!k.
a very good. program of building special facilities for
the handicapped children who need extra instruction and
this is' going to remove the protection that they have
in knowing that they will be served. It is coming at a
time when more of these are going to have to require

additional buildings for the normal process of educationI
Is it not possibley under your Bill then, Joe, that
through the vehicle of special education, that this '
facility could go ahead and be Yuilt without .. . . . and
circumvent the refereadum procedure?''
Lucco: HThank you. You make it very clear for me now . First
of all': this Bill would have notbing to do with that, the
1aw right now gives that .....a11 that protection. No
special education money can be spent for anything except
for special education classrooms or facilftfes. Then, .
in regard to the previous question: there is no one on
this House floor that has deàlt more with special ed-
ucation or has championed the cause of special education
than I have. I certainly do not want, in any way, to
hinder the cause of special education. This is merely
' . to provide that with the shifting trend ih populationn '
not the matter of increasfng or decreasing, that these
classrooms whfch have been built, legally, by special
education money, may be used for something else, if, and
there is built in that 'if' if the Regional Superinten-* I

Simms: '$Mr. speaker, addressing this Bi11, I think Rep-
resentative Pullen raises some very valid objections to
this Bill but I also think this Bill does have the
potentiality ....irrespective of the response by the

eop le ' in some cases . could be cf rcumven ted by us e o fP
h hi le of special education to build a facilityt e ve c
even though temporary it may be. And.for these
reasons I have some serious objections to this Billy
for those that were raised by the Representative from
Cook as well as the possibility that we are giving furthe
expansion of the right of'building buildings in the
. name of special education that'does have the possibility
that they could be used for sources or other programs
other than speèiàl education.....and to a certain degree
circumvent the right of referendum. For these reasons
I would have to cast a reluctant lno' vote.'' .

existing laws cannot'be used certainly it is in the
fnterest of the taxpayers. ICs D the fnterest of the kids
and the fnterest of tbe schools that they be permitted'
to be used rather than be standing fdle. That is what'
this Bill seeks to do. I think that it permits, where
there is idle rooms not being used, surplus, it permits
them to be used for other purposes after the approval of

Orders.a.that they will expire unless tbe new Governor
comes in and initiates some positive action to reaffirm
them or reimplement thems isn't tbat correct?n
Kosinski: nThat's true, Mr. Deustery but the time element is
a little different than your interpretation. If's eithe
60 days after the new Governor ib installed or 60 dàys -
after the Bill becomes effective. Now, if #ou Jvanalyze
thaty the Bill would leave the Housey. go to the Senate.
There is time for the Governor to give it consideration.
If it reaches the Governor's Desk he has 60 days into
which to sign legislation into order...into law, so that
actually extends into 120 day period...adequate time.e
Deuster: l'But we are not talking about Bills, we are talking
about Executive Orders...l thought.'' .

made some good points, as I understand, speaking against
the legislation. But.....any new Governor who comes int
office can, as Representatfve Kosinski saysy wipe the
slate clean if he or she wishes to do so. That's almost
. . likg saxing that we ought to.u .ought to.- -you know, we' ought to do Qith every branch o5 government. I think
the timeliness of it is unnecessary. Tt fs an unneces-'
sary burden. The Amendments have exempted out a good
many of the substantive meaty Executive Orders. That is
those that have a contract....as I understand. The
Executive Orders that are left, the Governory whoever he
' may bey can nullify by i'ssuing anofher Executive Order.
I donlt think this piece of legislation is necessary.
I don't think it really does anything really. I'm going
to vote against it because 1 simply don't think it is

ular Bill is that it is unconstitutional. It seems to
me that by the very nature of them, an Executive Order
operates wholly within the Executive Branch of govern-
. ' ment. And,......it seems to me also that under the
doctrine of separation of powersy the Legislature nor th
courts have any ..... constitutfonal right to interfere

goes much much beyond the concern with the concept of
regionalization. I suggest, Mr. Speaker and Members of

regionalism, but the poper. that would be vested fn this
relatively small group of people '.y..'k.to delve into

urge a no vote.
