and the things that she's done for all of us. I consider her a good friend. I'm going to terribly miss her. I think sometimes she claims me, sometimes she doesn't, but most of the time she does.

The Rochester Rockets Girls Soccer Team, last year, won the Class 1A title. And this year, as the smallest school in Class 2A by one student, they were in Class 2A. They won the State Title again this year defeating Deerfield in the Championship game. Deerfield, a high school that is twice their size, defeated them in the Championship Game 4-0. I've gotten to know these young ladies over the past year very well. It's a tremendous group of… of women who have a tremendously bright future. You've got 7 future college soccer players among this team that will be playing next year. And they are just a great, great asset and a great gem for the community of Rochester. The 22 women on the team and the coaches are… are just great people. I'd like to recognize especially Coach Chad Kutscher, Coaches Brent Stuckey, Lauren Bushkill and Megan DeBarr as well, and all the girls for this team. They're just wonderful young ladies and I'm glad they brought their nice little trophy here today. Last year the trophy was called Susan. This year the trophy is called Demi. So, thank you

Chair recognizes Representative Greg Harris." Harris, G.: "Point of personal privilege." Speaker Lang: "Will the Members please rise. Please proceed, Sir." Harris, G.: "Ladies and Gentlemen, you know, we've celebrated some joyous things today and now we have to sadly recognize some somber events also. In the last few weeks in America we've seen the worst of hate and terrorism and the best of our people's responses. On July (sic-June) 12 the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman, the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in the United States, and the deadliest attack in the U.S. since the September attack in 2001, took place in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Forty-nine people were killed and 53 injured who were simply

out enjoying an evening at a club, they became victims of hate. But across America, the good people of this country rose up with one voice to stand with Orlando and to stand against hate. Millions of dollars have been raised to help the victims and their families. This weekend in Chicago and in cities across the country there were gay pride parades. Millions and millions of people came out and lined our streets in a spirit of solidarity with the victims and the people of Orlando and to show the strength and resolve against those who would try to threaten or intimidate us. This is the best of America. Just as Americans have stood against violence and hate after San Bernardino, after Mother Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston, after Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, after the Planned Parenthood attack in Colorado Springs, and after the Cole Hall attack here in Illinois in DeKalb, sadly, we stand once again and honor the memory of lives lost. And we stand together as one people to say that hate always wins… always loses and that love always wins. And sadly, today, you know, Illinois always has a special connections to the Republic of Turkey, with the consulate here in Chicago, and many people of Turkish heritage living throughout this state. This chamber has been honored many times by the President… Consul General of Turkey, Umut Acar. In the wake of the terrible terrorist attack last night at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, I know I join with all my colleagues in sending our deepest condolences to the people of Turkey and to Consul General Acar. I ask us all to pause and remember the lives that have been lost and to honor their families and friends who still mourn. Thank you."

We'll have the Clerk read a portion of the Resolution. Thank you." Clerk Hollman: "House Resolution 1312 (sic-House Resolution 1327), offered by Representative Welch. WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of Representatives are saddened to learn of the death of former Illinois State Representative Eugene "Gene" Moore; and WHEREAS, Eugene Moore began his political career in 1989, when he was elected to serve as trustee for Proviso Township; he later went on to become the first African-American elected to represent the 7th District in the Illinois House of Representatives, where he served for three terms and was elected to a fourth term; in 1999, he was elected to serve as Cook County Recorder of Deeds, where he served until 2012; and WHEREAS, Following his service as Cook County Recorder of Deeds, Eugene Moore remained in political circles, where he talked passionately about community affairs, backed local candidates, and mentored rising political figures like Maywood Trustee Isiah Brandon; and WHEREAS, Eugene Moore was a member of the Second Baptist Church in Maywood; he was a football and basketball coach and mentor to youths in Proviso Township; he also served on numerous boards, including those of the Boys and Girls Club of West Cook County, the Proviso-Leyden Council on Community Action,

John C. Vaughns Scholarship Fund, Inc., and the Community Economic Development Association; and WHEREAS, Eugene Moore was the loving father of three children, Dowanna, Natalie, and Eric; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we, along with his family and friends, mourn the passing of former Illinois State Representative Eugene "Gene" Moore; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Eugene Moore as an expression of our sympathy." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Welch." Welch: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I stand today truly to honor a legend in the Proviso community. Gene Moore was the first African American elected from our community to serve in this great Body. I am honored that it was him who reached out to me and said, you're a young man that needs to serve our community. He got me started in this political business. He served as our State Representative and went on to become our Cook County Recorder of Deeds. But he also served our… our community as the first African-American Democratic Committeeman where he made it his point to reach out to our young people and get them involved in student… in government. Gene Moore was a worker bee. Everyone loved the guy. He passed on June 14, but his legacy lives on. His funeral services were just amazing because of the legacy that he left on our community. And whenever he would call me, the call always went the same way. Phone would ring and he would

142nd Legislative Day 6/29/2016
say, Gene Moore, Gene Moore. And I’d say, Gene Moore. I will always remember Gene's phone calls. And on June 14 he made another phone call to the man above and he said, Gene Moore, Gene Moore. Gene Moore has arrived in heaven. And I ask after a few other Members speak that we give a moment of silence in honor of Gene Moore, Gene Moore." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Riley." Riley: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. How… how apt. How pressing. Gene Moore. That's… that's how he used to answer the phone. I had the pleasure of knowing Gene, you know, for 35 years. And when you look at some of these… these folks, and we all know these kinds of people that are… that are larger than life, it is clear what his legacy has been in terms of public service. But there are other parts of it too. I used to kid with him all the time. I said, you know, when I grow up, you know, I want to have a name with quotations around it just like you, Gene, and he would laugh. But Gene was a lion. He was a lion of Cook County and Illinois politics. He was a throwback and the kinds of people who you really won't see that like again. One of the hallmarks of people like that though, that are these larger than life figures, is that they helped everybody. Gene was a staunch Democrat, but he helped everybody. If you went to any of the celebrations and parties and so on and so forth, you see people from both sides of the aisle. That's the way it was. That's the way it was. Gene tried to help everyone. He came out to the south suburbs many, many times and represented, you know, his office very well and, again, trying to help everyone in any way that they needed help. So, when you… when you look at a person like Gene Moore, you look
09900142.docx 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
142nd Legislative Day 6/29/2016
at someone that had a big heart. You look at someone who reached out to everyone. That's exactly what he did. And that's how he will always be remembered. So, I would echo my colleague and say that we should all be like and all remember the legacy of Gene Moore, Gene Moore." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Moffitt." Moffitt: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Having been here for a number of terms, I'm certainly as honored that I got to serve a term or two with Representative Moore. Some wonderful things have been said. I just want to add, he was truly a class act. He was a gentleman. He was friendly to everyone. He was a man of the people. He served with honesty and integrity. And I truly believe we're a better state, a better Legislative Body because of the example that he set and the way he served. As a freshman here and in the Minority that first term, he extended to me courtesies that weren't required. It's just because it's the kind of decent and wonderful guy he was. And so, I always thought he set a high standard of what we should be. It's no surprise to me that a couple prior speakers now serving here indicated that he was a mentor to them, sought them out, because the two that spoke and mentioned that, you and others, I think are carrying on those traditions, those high standards, the integrity, the reason of being here for the right reasons that Gene Moore set. So, I'm just thankful that I had the privilege of serving with him. I join with you in honoring him this way and certainly continue to extend condolences to his family and to his friends. We're a better people because of him. Thank you." Speaker Lang: "Representative Flowers."

Flowers: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, had the privilege of serving with Representative Gene Moore. And I must say, Ladies, he was very dapper in his dress. You know, he wore his nice suits and wore a big hat and you could tell when he would walk in because he had this swagger about him. And he was always a gentleman, always a gentleman. So, his presence truly will be missed because you don't see too many men nowadays dressing the way Gene Moore dressed and he truly was a throwback that needs to come back. But Gene Moore will not be coming back, but his style and his way of walking and talking should return very soon. So, once again, it was my pleasure to serve with him and I wish him and his family well, but I am honored that we had the… or I had the opportunity to be in his presence. Thank you." Speaker Lang: "Representative Lilly." Lilly: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, rise… I, too, rise to say it was a joy knowing Gene. I've known Gene for many years in high school. He was one of the many adults who chose to spend time with young people, to shape our minds and our bodies. In dance, I was… I was a cotillion… I was a bo… I was a lady of the future, and he worked with the men and the young ladies to make sure we were shaped for our great America. I never really understood all the work he did on behalf of the State of Illinois and the community of Maywood until I became a Legislator. His commitment and his drive to make things better was his purpose. And he did it with style and grace. He always was looking good. I just knew one day I would meet a young man similar to Gene Moore. He set the stage for many young people on the west side of Chicago and he reflected or he

represented what family really is and should be in our great state. He will be missed. He's going to always be loved and he is a legacy that each and every one of us should resemble. I thank you, Representative Welch, for bringing forth this Resolution and I thank each of you for taking the time to recognize such a great man who served in the Body of the General Assembly here in the State of Illinois. God bless you all. And Gene, we're… we're going to miss you." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Welch moves that all Members of the House be added as cosponsors to the Resolution. Is there leave? Leave is granted and all Members will be added. We'll take a moment of silence. Those in favor of the Resolution will say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Resolution is adopted.

On the Order of Concurrence, there appears House Bill 4515, Representative Lilly. Representative Lilly." Lilly: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to ask the Body to concur with House Bill… with the Senate for House Bill 4515. And it basically changes the start date from June 30 to January 1.

This Bill passed the House and went over to the Senate and with the support of the Governor's Office, they needed extended time to implement the piece of legislation. So, it's just a Concurrence to… in order to implement the policies." Speaker Lang: "Mr. Sullivan." Sullivan: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?" Speaker Lang: "Sponsor yields." Sullivan: "Representative, I think there was some confusion the last time that this Bill came up and some of the offenses that people thought were still included. Can you expand upon that that this is a low-level offenses that we're talking about and all the higher level offenses are disqualifying factors? I think there was some confusion on my side in regard to that." Lilly: "That is correct. There are disqualifying offenses that are eliminated from this particular Bill. I just spoke with a couple of… rape, murder, both are disqualifying factors in this particular legislation." Sullivan: "So, what we're talking about is an 18-year-old that might have shoplifted once when they were young and now they're trying to put their life back together; and they want to be a nurse or some type of health care worker. We're saying this is a good piece of legislation to get people's lives back on track, in essence, is what this does?" Lilly: "That is correct. We are looking to get people back to work." Sullivan: "Okay. And it's my understanding that the Governor has worked with you and that he is in favor of this legislation

to try and help people with this very type of legislation. Is that correct?" Lilly: "That is correct." Sullivan: "Thank you. I certainly encourage an 'aye' vote from my side of the aisle, especially." Speaker Lang: "Representative Bellock." Bellock: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield?" Speaker Lang: "Sponsor yields." Bellock: "Thank you, Representative Lilly. Can you just tell me in reading on the analysis… So, in order for this person to be able to proceed, and they go back to public health, what is involved… is it the Department of Public Health giving them a waiver?" Lilly: "Correct. Yes." Bellock: "Okay. And so, how does that waiver work? How do they get the waiver through Public Health?" Lilly: "The… it's in… it's on the second page in your analysis. However, it's the general practice. What the registry change would be it is now, once that waiver is granted the registry will now have a green flag that they have a waiver and that allows employers to move forward and interview with it… to interview. It does not require any employer to hire any individual on the registry." Bellock: "I know. My question is more… like one of the other Bills that we had, and some major changes like this, it went be… back before the Department of Regulation and they had a group that would oversee allowing the change in these people and their history on the registry or whatever. So in this, I'm
09900142.docx 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 99th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
142nd Legislative Day 6/29/2016
wondering what is the waiver process? What… what does the Department of Public Health do to give these people a waiver? Do they have like a… a council of three or five people that review everything? Or what is the waiver process itself? I think that that's what's really important as to how this person is cleared to get their name off the registry. I mean, do they just say we're giving this person a waiver?" Lilly: "It… first, thank you for the questions, Representative. The process as is will remain the same. So, we're not making any changes to the process for granting waivers. And there's a committee that the Department of Public Health…" Bellock: "Okay." Lilly: "…goes through to approve all the waivers for the reentry population. But I would… would like to note that there is no changes in the current process in granting waivers." Bellock: "Okay. So, there is some committee in that process now already that's doing that and that these people that are applying for this will be added to that that they will go before that?" Lilly: "That is correct, Representative." Bellock: "Thank you very much. I appreciate that." Lilly: "You're welcome." Bellock: "Thank you." Speaker Lang: "Representative Lilly to close." Lilly: "Thank you, Ladies and Gentlemen, for your questions. I ask for an 'aye' vote to concur with the Senate Bill (sic- House Bill) 4515 I thank you."
