For what purpose does Senator Donnewald arise? l6. SENATOR DONNEWALD: l7. Yes, Mr. President and members of the Body. think that there are several makters that have to be taken care of this morning. One of which is Senator Kenneth Hall has a House Joint Resolution that we could consider after which in a few 2l. moments we have two emergency measures...House Bills that 22. should be passed today. We would then go to the Order of 2nd 23. reading and after that, if we have the time, we would go to 24. the Order of 3rd reading on nonco/troversial bills and we 2b. would go through the files to determine if there was a great deal of discussion on the committee end of it and then if there objection on the Floor, why we would pull it from the record 28. that has the consent of the Body. 29. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 3O. Youfve heard the motion. Senator Hall. 3l. SENATOR KENNETH HALL: 32. Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. This is House Joint Resolution...
5 PRESTDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVTCKAS) Senator Hall, just a moment. Senator Hall moves...asks leave to to the Order of the Secretary 's Desk for the
4. purpose of considering House Joint Resolution 31. Is leave
5. granted? Leave is granted. Senator Hall. 6. SENATOR KENNETH HALL: Thank you, Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen of the 8. Senate. The reason the necessity of this going out right now 9. is that I've been informed by Representative Steele that the l0. Governor is flying out to talk to the Flying Tigers to encourage them to locate here in Illinois their air freight terminal and l2. he would like to be able to say that the General Assembly has l3. passed this resolution in support of attracting agencies and 14. for locating major air freight carriers Illinois so I would l5. urge that this is passed out here at this time. l6. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) Youfve heard the motion. Senator Hall moves for the adoption of House...senator Berninq. 19. SENATOR BERNING: 20. A question of the sponsor, Mr. President. 2l. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 22. He indicates he yield. 2a. SENATOR BERNING: 24 My understanding, Senator, is that the proposed Waterloo- Columbia Airport has been now termed strictly the proposal of this airport has been to .- designated strictly as a cargo 27 airport and from the volumes of mail that I have received from 28. citizens over the State, even up in my district, which is 29. as far removed from the Columbia-Waterloo proposed site, I guess, 30 as one can get in this State. There is vast citizen opposition a1. ko that proposed airport. Now, my question then is# by adoptinq 32 such a resolution as you are now proposing, are we not, if not directly, indirectly endorsing the proposal to construct the
6 1. Columbia-Waterloo Airpork in Tllinois? 2. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS)
3. senator Hall. 4. SENATOR KENNETH HALL :
5. Senator, that what has happened, if you're referrinq to 6. the waterloo, Illinois' location, there is a move on to locate 7. what we call, an International Airport in khat area. So far, 8. that- .khere 's been studiesy restudies and that if we're ever 9. going to get a major airport in that area, so while that is l0. still in the process...in the working, there is an opportunity ll. for my informakion is, that a number of major air freight, like l2. the...the Flying Tigers are trying to find someplace that they 13. can relocate. I understand that they have been notified by l4. the Chicago airports that they need their part that they 're l5. using there for expansion. Hopefully, that somewhere in this l6. State, that they will locate and I understand that the Governor l7. is going to be talking with them and wank to show thaE the . 18. leqislature is interested and in support of attracting major l9. air freighE carriers in Illinois and that's the answer to the 20. question. 2l. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 22. Senator Berning. 23. SENATOR BERNING: 24. Well, Mr. President and members of the Senate. This Zay 2b. have a laudable objective, as it's proposed, however, the 26. inference, in my opinion, is directly tied to the ill-advised 27 efforts to build that airport down in the Columbia-Waterloo 28 area and I would...would hesitate. In fact, I would just like 2: to see this Body takewaction that could: in any way, be
# 30 . interpreted as an endorsement and, therefore, 1...1 would . g 3l. respectfully suggest that it be appropriake for this Body ' 32. to reject this resolution, as now drawn or to suggest that the ' 33. sponsor withdraw it and amend it so as to specifically preclude I 7 7
. l an endorsement of any particular site. 2. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 3. Is there any further discussion? Senator Moore. 4. SENATOR MOORE: 5. deference to my colleague, Senator Berning, and itts 6. not ofken that I agree with Senator Hall, particularly on 7. matters down South, but the- .having a...a major air freight 8. airport in the Waterloo area down there is going to have a 9. tremendous impact upon the overall economy of khe State of Illinois. As Senator Hall has skated : there is an opportunity for us to get some very large freight airplane companies khat l2. have to relocate. We do have the jump on them at this point. l3. have heard a rumor that, perhaps, the Flying Tigers would l4. use this and there is just a kremendous opportunity for the l5. creation of jobs and for the...the helping of the economy of the State of Illinois. I think this is a good resolution and I would its adoption. l8' PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 19 Senator Bruce. 20. SENATOR BRUCE: 21. Well, T, at first, had some problems with this resolution 2z. and Senator Berning, I think, has confused Ehe issue, perhaps, 23 on the Wakerloo Airpork. The resolution explicitly stakes thak 24. it is of assistance to a11 communities in the State of Illinois that are trying to attract major air c4rriers, which in my own 26. district we are trying to attract the Emery Air Freight and the 27. Flying Tigers to come to Lawrenceville, Illinois where we have 28 a îçorld War in place, sighk facility. We 've conkacted 29 khe Federal Aviakion Administration. They are cooperating and 3o. building additional site facilities there. A11 this resolution 31 says, is we ought to attract more business to Illinois in the way of air freight. I wouldn 't support it if it said Waterloo because, frankly, the Governor came down to our area and said
8 he thinks it ought to be at Lawrenceville and I would like to hold him and his representatives to khat idea that it ought to be in Lawrenceville, but it doesn 't say Lawrenceville 4. and doesn 't say Wakerloo and it doesn't say Kankakee or any- 5. place else. just says that we endorse Ehe idea that we ought to have more air freight.x.business located in Illinois and I think on that basis al1 of us could support additional 8. jobs being located in this State. For example, Emery Air 9. Freight located in- .in Memphis is thinking about locating l0. in Lawrenceville, that's fifty-four million dollars of additional construction at that one airport alone. Not only l2. construction jobs, but about six hundred new employees in.- in l3. Lawrence County so 1 would be very much in suppork of saying 14. to the Governor and to Flying Tiqers,come to Illinois and we l5. will support your efforts to expand G this State. l6. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) Is there any further discussion? Senator Vadalabene. SENATOR VADALABENE : l9. Yes, I too, also want to qo on record % supporting this 20. House Joint Resolution 3l. As you well know, I am...have been 2l. for years the sponsor of *he St. Louis Metropolitan Airpork 22. Authority O nding and I think that we have a good base and I 23. khink we have made some extremely important studies, as 24. Senator Don Moore has saidz and as Senator Kenny Hall has indicated . This resolution is needed and I think we ought to get the show on the road and vote it out. 27. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 28. there any further discussion? Senator moves for 29. the adoption of House Joint Resolution Those in favor 30 indicate by saying Aye. Those opposed. The Ayes have al House Joint Resolution 31 adopted . For what purpose does a2 Senator Donnewald arise? SENATOR DONNEWALD:
9 Well, would we ...would we now have leave to go to the Order of 3rd reading concerning...concerning House Bill 5l0 and They are emergency makhers. 4.

SENATOR EGAN: Thank you, Mr. President and members of the Senate. This I bill was passed out of the Senate in the form of Senate Bill l7. l38 without any opposition. It...it restructures the language 18. to conform with khe.- the taxing on real estate transfer l9. because of case law that struck down the twenty-five cent tax 20. that a county levies on or...or assesses against...through the 2l. stamps on land kransfers, but it...what it does is conform the 22. law .- the statutory law to the case 1aw and I move...or commend it to your favorable consideration . PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 25. Is there any further discussion? Senator McMillan. 26. SENATOR MCMILLAN: 27. Mr. President and members of the Senate. I would just 28. merely rise in support of the motion and I had had extensive 29. hearing in the Revenue Committee in the form of the parallel 30. Senate Bill and I would ...would urge a favorable vote. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) Senator Rhoads. 33. SENA D R RHOADS :

2. Senator Egan, I recall the bill very well, but I...T don't 3. understand. what the emergency nature of this action on a 4. House Bill on 3rd reading is this morning. 5. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 6. Senator Egan. 7. SENATOR EGAN: 8. Well, it...ik's strickly fiscal. The county is presently in 9. a bind on...on their ability to collect this tax and a11 l0. counties and so they ...khey need it today and it becomes 1l. effective upon the signing it. l2.

4. three. The enrollees in this program are paid by the Federal Adminiskration Service. Unforkunakely, the Department of Conservation has had to continue with difficulties with the payments made by this office and they wish to exercise an 8. option and that is to transfer this payroll over to the 9. State of Illinois so thaE they can process these checks to the enrollees and 1 ask your favorable consideration of the... ll. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) l2. Is there any further discussion? Senator Demuzio. l3. SENATOR DEMUZIO: l4. Thank you, Mr . President . I have no quarrel with what Senator Merlo is attempting to do here. I...T'd just like to ask a question, if I may? 17. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) l8. He indicates he yield. l9. SENATOR DEMUZIO: 20. The question being, that on the exemption of these 21. individuals from the Pension Code and Personnel Code: are they, 22. in fact, deemed employees of the Department of Conservation as determined by the Federal Government? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 2b. Senator Merlo. 26. SENATOR MERLO: 27. They would not, Senator. These...the period of time is 28. normally about twelve monkhs of employment and, of course, 29. under the exemption they would not be considered employees 30. of the State and they are not at the present time. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 32. Senator Demuzio. 33. SENATOR DEMUZIO:
12 Then, if they 're not considered as employees of the State of Illinois, do they...are they covered under the usual ordinary and cuskomary Workmen's Compensation and Unemployment
4. Compensakion Laws in Illinois, if they carry this exemption... kerminology? PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 7. Senator Merlo. 8. SENATOR MERLO: really don't know the answer to that, as far as Unemployment Compensation or Workmen's Compensation is concerned, but I know ll. as far as the other frinqe benefits, hospitalization, retirement l2. funds, et cetera, they are not considered under that program . l3. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) l4. Senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIC: Well, as I say, I have no quarrel with what you dre l7. attempting to do here, but I am curious as to if...if these 18. exemptions only are applicable ko the...the Pension Code and: l9. quite frankly, I would like to know why wefre exempting them 20. from the...from the Personnel Code. 21. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 22. Senator Merlo. Senator Merlo. SENATOR MERLO: As I mentioned before, they are not State employees and, 25. therefore, would not come under the Act, the Personnel Act. 26. This is a Federal Program . It's a temporary employment 27. program . The maximum number of months twelve months. No, 28. these are not the CETA employers, no. 29. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 3o. Senator...senator Demuzio. SENATOR DEMUZIO : Well, my question is then, 1...1 don't, frankly, understand 33. why Senator Merlo, we're exempting them if they, in fact, aren't ' State employees anyway . 2. PRESIDING oFFIcER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS)
3. senator Merlo . 4. SENATOR ME RLO:
5. Thak F the reason being, khat they are now going to transfer
6. the process of khe paychecu over to the Skate of Illinois.
7. Presently, the checks to the enrollees are made through the
8. Federal agency . Assuming now that this is done by the State 9. of Illinois, then the question, of course, arises as to whekher or not they become State employees and the answer to that would > no because under the Act khey would be exempted. l2. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) l3. Senator Demuzio . l4. SENATOR DEMUZIO: l5. I'm not convinced of that, frankly, the...I...are they... are they.- will they be classified now as beneficiaries of the Federal Program rather than as an employee? What would be l8. their classification now? l9. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 20. Senator Merlo. 2l. SENATOR MERLO: 22. Vince, I1m sure if you will look ak the Act, there are 23. a number that are exempt. think there's something like ten or twelve classificakions employees tha: are exempt 25. as far as the Department Personnel and the various agencies 26. of Government are concerned. This would be just included in 27. the Act. I donlt...this was a Department of Conservation 's 28. bill. I...I'm sure that there 's every protective measure 29. taken khat it will be not a cost to the State of Illinois. 30. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) Senator Demuzio . SENATOR DEMUZIO: 33. Well, I notice that Senator Lemke has a on the
14 Calendar that...as recall correckly exempts or...or
2. reclassifies so. . . so-called employees or removes employees from the definition at various colleges and universities in 4. Illinois and T would have the same questions on that bill as I'm relating to this one. It would appear to me that under the
6. exemption .of. - of these individuals no longer being...not being classified as employees that, if we're going to- .exempt 8. them from just the Personnel and Pension Code that this would automatically have some effect on their status in terms of l0. Workmen's Compensakion, for example, and State liability. PRESTDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) l2. Senator Knuppel. l3. SENATOR KNUPPEL: 14. Well, this is my question. . Does this exempt these young l5. people from being entitled, if they're injured, to Workmen's l6. Compensation benefits? 17. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 18. Senator Merlo. l9. SENATOR MERLO : 20. Senator, as Qar as Workmen's Compensakion and Unemployment Compensation...lohn, did you find the answer in the bill? Well, 22. John's looking.- looking the answer up. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 24. Senator D 'Arco, do you wish ko...senator D 'Arco. 2b. SENATOR D'ARCO: Yeah, to answer Vince's question. It says in this letter 27. from the Employees Retirement System of Illinois that because 28. they receive State payroll checks they must be included in 29. the definition of employee in the State system for retirement 30. purposes. Just like the CETA employees were included in...and that's the reason for the bill to exempt them from the Pension 32. Fund. PRESIDING OFEICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) j .
1. senator Knuppel. 2. SENATOR KNUPPEL: ' 3. Wel1,' I dontt think that has...answers the question that
4 . I asked . It . . . it goes over t.o something else entirely . These
5 . yo ung people # as I understand it , work for th'e State of ' 6 . Illinois . In other words , they get paid by someone else but 7 . they work at , for instance , Marseilles State Park . They work 8 . other places . They do work that ' s benef icial to the State of 9 . Illinoi s and right at the present time , unf ortunately , I have l 0 . ko say this , that the State of Illinois is be ing somewhat less 11 . than candid with people who are injured irf work . Al1 of a
. 12. sudden they come to the realization, the people that are 13 running the State of Illinois Workmen's Compensation Program... 14. they've come to the realization that it...that the new program 15. that was passed in 1975 is costing one hell of a lot of money. l6. They 're cutting off people that are permanently disabled, even 17. though the commission finds that theyfre not permanently disabled 18. and...and they're eutting khem off kemporarly total arbitrarily. l9. I think this is a very controversial subject and it was my 2o. understanding thak we weren 't going to take up controversial 2l. subjects this morning. 1, personally, think that...that before 22. I could vote for this bill I woufd have to be assured that these 23. young people perform no worthwhile service for the Shate of 24. Tllinois and/or if they do that they're entitled, if they're 2b injured on the job, to the same kind of coverage that anybody 26 else that's doing something beneficial for the State of Illinois 27 receivesr particularly our young people. These people generally 28 are youngsters between fifteen and seventeen years of age and I 7q think it will be atrocious to have some youngster that was injured 30 down at Marseilles State Park or some place else, you know, be 31 Cut Off. ? 32. PRESIDING CFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) aa Senator Merlo requests that the bill be taken out of the
!â 16 ?
Jj record . For what purpose does Senator Donnewald arise? 2. SENATOR DONNEWALD: Well, while we have a lu1l and in between noncontroversial
4. bills, 1...1 would suggest that any member thak might have a bill on the Order of 3rd reading and wishes to amend it would ... 6. would give a list or *he numbers of those bills to the Secretary . We might consider that at a later time this morning. 8. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 9. For what...for what purpose does Senator Graham arise? l0. SENATOR GRAHAM: ll. I'd like to arise on a point of personal privilege, Mr. l2. President: for the purpose of making an observation. l3. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) Make your observation. l5. SENATOR GRAHAM: Some few years ago , the Senate had adopted a policy, l7. generally considered by all that 'in order to perpetuate some l8. sense of dignity and decor on the Floor of the Senate... PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 20. Could we have a little attention for Senator Graham. SENATOR GRXHAM: 22. .n that when we referred to fellow Senators in debate, 23. usually it was the practice that to say to the Gentleman from 24. whatever county or whacever town or Senator so and so...whatever 2b. his name would be. I think we have fallen into a trap now where we 're using so much informality that we 're abusing the dignity 27. of the senate to a great degree as we are doing with an extra- 2a. ordinary amount of movement in- -and the conversation on the 29. Floor of the Senate, which may make it appear to the people 30. in the gallery that this is some kind of picnic webre running down here while welre doing the business of the State. 32. Wou1d...I would plead with my colleagues to address each other 33 on the Floor of this Senake as Senator whatever their last name is or the Gentleman from somewhere. If you wank to call them
2. by their first names in your. - in your social activities, that's
3. fine or off the Floor of khe Senate. I just think,Ladies and
4. Gentlemen, if we would adhere to this, think we would present 5. a better picture to the people that are observing the action of the Senate and b0th of those to be taken into consideration, 7. think we'll be the benefactors of it. 8. PRESTDING OFFICER: (SENATOR SAVICKAS) 9. Senator Graham fs point is well taken. For what purpose does Senator DlArco arise? SENATOR DIARCO: l2. Mr. President and my fellow Senators, .we...I made a mistake l3. when I asked leave to take Senator.- senator Nedza was the 14. principal sponsot of 1922 and the mistake was that Senator l5. Nash wanked Eo be a cosponsor and hpv..we didn't want...we don't want to take Nedza off the bill as the principal sponsor so I would ask leave to...to mak'e a motion to put Nedza back l8. on as the principal sponsor. 19. PRESIDING OFFICER:ISENATOR SAVICKAS) 2(). Is leave granted? Leave granted. Gentlemen, you rll 2l. be in your seats, we will go to the Order now of Senate Bills, 22 2nd reading.
