    General Assembly's Lame Duck Session

    January 13, 2021 ILLINOIS HEALTH AND HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION STATE ADVOCACY UPDATE TO: Chief Executive Officers, Member Hospitals and Health Systems Chief Financial Officers Government Relations Personnel In-House Counsel Public Relations Directors FROM: A.J. Wilhelmi, President & CEO Dave Gross, Senior Vice President, Government Relations SUBJECT: IHA Summary: General Assembly’s Lame Duck Session Late this morning, the outgoing 101st General Assembly adjourned its “lame duck” session, one of the more volatile and fast-moving legislative sessions in recent memory. In the midst of legislative business, majority House Democrats have also been focused the past several days on choosing a successor to long-time Speaker Michael Madigan. Earlier this afternoon, Representative Emanuel “Chris” Welch was elected the new Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives for the 102nd General Assembly. During the abbreviated five-and-a-half day session, IHA engaged in intense round-the-clock discussions and meetings with key legislators and legislative leaders and testified at numerous hearings on several critical issues of importance to the hospital community. Those include: hospital and healthcare transformation; the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ Healthcare Pillar legislation aimed at addressing inequities in healthcare and human services; and prejudgment interest payments in civil cases. The following is a summary of these issues and the legislative outcomes. In the coming days, we will be issuing IHA Member Updates and Analyses with more details. Hospital and Healthcare Transformation The General Assembly overwhelmingly passed IHA supported legislation to authorize the Hospital and Healthcare Transformation program (Senate Bill 1510), which passed the House 112-0 and the Senate 57-0.

    ICCTA Government Relations and Public Policy Report By Jessica Nardulli, ICCTA Legislative Counsel January 25, 2021 New Leadership in the Illinois House State Rep. Emanuel “Chris” Welch, the new speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, has promised to make some changes to the way the Speaker’s office operates. For one, Welch is adept at using social media and has committed to modernizing the office. He has also committed to ethics reforms and supports a law limiting leader terms to 10 years. One of the biggest areas for change is the upcoming legislative and congressional district reapportionment. Under former Speaker Michael Madigan, the process was partisan and handled behind closed doors. Governor JB Pritzker has promised not to sign an “unfair” map. Welch has been a supporter of “fair” maps in the past but acknowledged that his version of “fair” might not be the same as others. Welch’s first order of business is to announce the rules of the Illinois House. Welch has made it clear he wants more of a collaborative approach by conferring with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle. He also promised a leadership team that will show the state’s diversity of gender, race, and geography. Welch’s leadership team includes: • State Rep. Greg Harris - Majority Leader • State Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth - Deputy Majority Leader / Speaker Pro-Tempore • State Rep. Mary E. Flowers - Deputy Majority Leader and Dean of the Caucus • State Rep. Jaime M. Andrade, Jr. - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Robyn Gabel - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez - Assistant Majority Leader • State Rep.

    Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As Lawmakers from Both Sides of the Aisle at the Illinois Statehouse Continue to Of

    Ethics Conversations Continue in Springfield As lawmakers from both sides of the aisle at the Illinois statehouse continue to offer up ideas they believe must be implemented to curb corruption and clean up ethics, one is looking to give local prosecutors power to wiretap public corruption suspects. During a virtual press conference Thursday, state Sen. Dale Righter laid out how tumultuous it’s been with Democrats getting targeted by federal prosecutors. “So over the last 15 months, four legislators have been indicted and another one is shall we say under the intense scrutiny of the federal government is a very wide-ranging investigating,” Righter said. Last year Democratic state Sen. Tom Cullerton, D-Villa Park, was charged with embezzling money from a labor union. Cullerton is still a member of the General Assembly and the case is pending. Also last year, former state Rep. Luis Arroyo, D-Chicago, was arrested for bribing an unnamed state Senator who was wearing a wire. Arroyo later stepped down from the legislature. Earlier this year former state Sen. Martin Sandoval, D-Cicero, pleaded guilty to running cover for the red light camera industry while taking money on the side. He’s cooperating with further investigations. Earlier this month, former state Sen. Terry Link, D-Vernon Hills, pleaded guilty to tax evasion. Link is believed to be the state Senator who wore a wire for federal prosecutors in the Arroyo case, though he’s denied that. Tuesday in Springfield the second hearing of a special House Investigating Committee is looking into a ComEd bribery scheme that implicated House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago.

    1 Political Contributions Exelon Corporation's (Exelon) Success

    Political Contributions Exelon Corporation’s (Exelon) success depends on sound public policies at the national, state and local levels. Issues vital to Exelon’s ability to recognize value for its stakeholders are debated and decided in the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and local forums across the country. Federal and Pennsylvania law prohibit companies from making political contributions to Federal and Pennsylvania candidates. Illinois and Maryland law limit the amount that Exelon and its affiliated companies can give to political candidates and PACs. In certain other states, corporations are permitted to contribute to state election campaigns. Exelon engages in political activity in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Exelon Corporation, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and PECO Energy Company have established political action committees that are funded solely through voluntary employee contributions (ExelonPAC, BGEPAC and PECOPAC). Exelon Generation Company and Commonwealth Edison Company also have Illinois state political action committees which may be funded by both employee and corporate contributions (ComEd PAC and ExGenPAC). Exelon provides limited administrative support to all five PACs. These PACs offer eligible employees a direct means to voluntarily participate in shaping public policy and expressing views on issues related to our business. The PACs operate in accordance with all relevant state and Federal laws. Information about ExelonPAC is available on the website of the Federal Election Commission at www.fec.gov. In the interest of transparency for our shareholders and stakeholders, Exelon has posted its Corporate Political Contributions Guidelines on its website. These Guidelines are intended to provide corporate governance, control, oversight and procedural guidance for corporate contributions of money, property or services for political activities in Illinois, Maryland and other states that allow corporate contributions to the political process and for political expenditures in areas where permitted.

The Last Day 160 Epilogue 190 Notes 195 Index 209 Gallery starting on page 95 Prologue n Tuesday, December 9, 2008, a gray dawn arrived over Illinois, bringing an intermittent rain and a chill in the air. It was one of Othose damp, early winter days when the struggle between fall and winter seems finally resolved, and people go on with a sense of acceptance. There was nothing special about the dawning of this day, but that would rapidly change. In the early morning hours an FBI arrest team arrived at the Chicago home of Governor Rod Blagojevich and took him quickly into custody. The arrest was conducted like a raid. The governor was not given advance warning or the courtesy of being able to turn himself in; rather, he was snatched in the night like a common criminal. Wearing a jogging suit and handcuffs, the stunned governor was photographed being led away by federal agents. Word of the governor’s arrest quickly spread throughout the state and began a political crisis that would grip Illinois for the next seven weeks and three days. 1 Prologue With helicopters hovering overhead, broadcasting events on live televi- sion, news crews followed the caravan of police and federal vehicles trans- porting the governor through the streets of Chicago, first to a federal lockup facility on the city’s near west side and then downtown to federal court.
