The measures, which originated in e Senate, give the state the exclusive right to ·regulate and license the oc cupations despite the home' rule provisions in the 1970 Illinois Con stitution. Among those affected are dentists, physical therapists. veterinarians, shorthand reporters, beauticians , funeral directors, land surveyors and detectives. TIle series of bills drew opposition primarily from Olicago Democrats. They argued that the 1970 Constitution prohibits the state from taking ex· clusive authority over the occupations. The House has spent some nine hours in the last several days debating motions by Olicago Democrats which would have watered the bills down to the point where the state would not have had total regulating power . If Gov . Daniel Walker signs the measures, the matter will almost assuredly go to the courts. The House also approved measures whim would make minor changes in the Regional Transportation Authority . The two measures sent to Walker would limit the RTA's ability to impose parking taxes and require public bid ding on RTA purchases. A measure dealing WILD real ~lalt brokers was amended in the House and must go back to the Senate for its ap proval. In other action , the Senate passed a bill requiring licensing of collection agencies which included a fine for agen cies that use intimidation to collect debts.
