Amendment tbat we had last week with a consfderable amount of dis-
cussion. The last Amendment was defective in that the word 'bas-'
xtard' appeared in one place where 'it had not been struck out.
And so because leave was not given to amend it oa its face, why
we filed a second Amendment.'' :

Luft: HWelly I don't know how to answer that because I cantt project
whether any Governorts going to have any trouble with the Legisla-
tive Leaders of his party. Hopefully he would not and I don't know
what other mechanismot'. I can't conceivably see the Governor giving
hfs Appropriation Bills to the Legislative Leaders of the opposite
Party.
Telcser: l'But if the Governor could give the legislation to Members
' who aren't l*aders. As an .exalple, last term wé had'Govfrnor .
Walker who was at odds with elements of his party, many of whom
were in the party leadership. He may have wanted to give you his
budget to' handle as an example as a Member as opposed to your being
a leader. Why. I don't understand why you add that extra burden
to the Governor in your legislation.''*
Luft:v''The only.-. I'm-.k-perhaps I am adding a: additional burdea to
him but hopefully of tbe numerotls leatlers that we havé on boch sides
of the aisle that he could hopefully get along with at least one '
of themwho he could submit those budget requests to. And they,
in turn, could probably supplement OUL the budget Bllls to the other
leaders-''
Telcser': 'Nr. Speaker, can 1 speak to the Bi11 please?'' ''- . . .. . . . ' '- . . L - . '' - - .
. : . - u . : :ue uouse I canSpeaker Wédmond: Proceed. Mr. Speakery Members o :
well understand Representative Luft's cohcern regarding the early
introduction of a budget so tbat we in the Legislature can give
timely and long consideration regarding the budget process. I tbink,
however, that House Bill 187 would be a burden to any Governor.
regardless of which of the polftical parties the Governor affilfates
himself or herself with in the future. 'Jhe burdens 'placed upon
a new Governor are much too constraiaing in House Bill 187 . In'
hotly contested gubernatorial election, who knows who is goinga
to be Governor. I think very of ten the candidates themselves aren' t
utte sure about the outcome of the election. So what we 're askingq
fOr in this legislation is that candidates, candidates before theyRre
Governor have to get the resources and the manpower or womanpower
to prepare a budget. Who's going to be the Director of the Bureau
for'a Governor? Who's going to be the Governorgs staff people?

' elected. So during the heat of a campafgn weêre adding a burden7't upon b0th of the c/ndidates to start putting a budget together so
ç that they caa submït fn thfrty days o: seven days after the General '
Assembly convenes. That'glves the'covernor about tuo monthsy I thinky
' fn order Do prepare a budget. I thfnk lt's much too constrafnfng
'' : on aqy new Covernor. I donlt think it can be reasonably accomplished.
And I think tbat the added burden énd responsibllfty of either having
to submit the budget and a certain . number. of Bills to certain Legi- .
slators ïs a'provision in the legislation which I really don't think
is going to help resolve the problem which I share with Mr. Luft.
And so> Ladies and Centlemen of the Housey I think it would be pru-
dent for a11 of us to not 1et House Bill 187 pass at this time but
to further look into the problem and try and come up œith a ra-
tionak solutionAwhich both-the Legislative Bfanch and tha Execu-
tive Branch of government can live with/' .
Speaker Redmond: HRepresentative Tipsword.''
- - Tipsword: 'î/lr. Speaker and Ladies aad Centlemeny I would like to urge
' the Memberé of this House to give serious consideration to passing
this House Bi11'187. I used.to have many of the same worries about
being much too stringent wiyh tbe Governor apd especially.a new
Goveçnor as to when the Budget Bills should be filed. And tben
: I find tbat this Bill is no worse, iu fact, it gives a little nore
time to the covernor than we give to tbe President of the United
States.and a new President.in submitting his budget to the Congress.
And I don't find tbat providing a budget in the State of Illinois
is certainly any more complicated than drafting a budget for the
government of the entire United States. In fac% in spite of our
many Resolutfons concerning the subjecty we really don't have much
' Of a budget for national defense, nor do we have much of a budget
for forefgn polfcy. And there are certafnlyy there's certafnly
a 1ot more problems in each of the other various agencies and de-
parements of government for that Federal government tban there is
t within the state of Illinofs. And certainly kf a new President

k.;. of state government within twenty days after inauguration on the; '
first year of his tèrmy I don't think that it is at a1l unreason-
' able for us to expect a Governor to be able to come up with hisi
in thirtv davs. And in tthe yea<s vhen he is contipuing ip office
to have it available withfn seven days after the Members of tbe
General Assembly are sworn in. It is regrett'able that we have on
many occasions wasted weèks and montbs whea' we Eould hàvè beèn at .
the people's business and the importaat business of funding the
Governor's budget or making those changes that we find necessary .
in service to the people and I would strongly urgey strongly urge
. that the Members of this Body consider this. We are not imposing '
uppn any Coveraor and I reiterate that this applies not just to
present Governorsy but to a11 future Governors. It would be a
great tool for the House of Representatives and the Senators andi' .
. Q .we could certainly do a much zreater servfde to the taxpayers of '..L -
the State of Illinois.''
Speaker Redmond: nRepresentative Gene Hoffman.n .
- - G Hoffman: 'lThank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Housey

been dpawn up by one of these national groups who do a fine job' in- dealing with ideals, bùt very seldom if ever have to face the
practicalities and realities of politics in the legislative pro- .

and talk with Legislators from other statesy you know that constraints
that are placed on many of the' other state's tegislatures, many
of the 'state Legislatures are confined by Constitutfon to thifty-
day sessionsy sixty-day sessions on a biennial basis. Certafnly
' the opportuntty and the responsiblity that rests wfth ''àL Legisla-

to be fafr to the Executive Branch of the government thât they too
need an opportunfty to have ffguresy current figures available to

Matijevich : ''Ladies and Gentlemen of the Housey this legislatioa had

Bills. No more than nine Bills. In this way, we can determine
where we are from a fiscal standpoint. It also limits other Appro-
priation Bills from advancing until these major Appropriation Bills
which are within the budget are passed. Every day T hear Legfsla-
tors say Where are we with regards to the fiscal resources?' We
spend Appropriatiôn Bi11... we pass Appropriatfon Bi11 after Appro-
priation Bill, not really knowing where we stand fiscally. This
Bi11 allows us some measure of accountability. Nobody from the
Bureau of the Budget opposed the Bill in Committee. I understand
nobody from' the Executive Department opposed the Bf1l. And I
say that nobody opposed ft because ft is good and it can give us
the accountability in appropriation matters that we rightfully de-

$ ' speak to the Bill itself. Tt seems to me that about four and a
' half years ago, ffve years ago when tbe neu Constitution was passed, .
; ' ' those people at the Constitutional Convention worked very hard to
do away w1th the concept of immunity a11 the way threugh government.
& . . And it seems to mq a basically bad thing to take away personal re-
sponsibility of anybodyy particularly behiid the wheel of a motor
' vehicle. We have a situation here now wherey in effecty because! . . . . . . .of aa employeq whether it be a corporation very withdrawn from tlle '1 .: employer or a second person relationship of a small business: if
ï that business fails to have insurancea this employee can go outk
î and be about as wild a driver as you could possibly want on tbesetk state highways aad he could: in effeety walk away scot-free.. Now,
. there's no question that the employer would have a responsibflfty.
i But what happens if the employer is worth nothfng and has no'assets!' and has nothing to go against. The innocent victim that has been *'- hit by a car, is a pedègtrian or in another vehicle, would not
be able to go against the true culprits. the wild driver of the
business vehicle. And I think thàt this is highly irregular. It's
inconsistent with the new state Constitution and it gives an tm-'. J. - . - - '
munkcy to aa individual who absolutely doesn t deserve immunity.T' . '%
The wild deivery' the negligent driver. I think this is a very
bad Bill. It sets a bad precedent. If you think to yourself, if# '
we can do this fa the area of automobfles. why don t ce extend ft
to al1 other 'forms of vehièles whatsoever? And we can extead it
to afrplanes and let's then extend the concept uhere tbere's any
type of employment type of negligence. I think this is a bad pre-
cedent to set. It opens the door where we don't need the door opened.
And I don't think that a wild driver ûnder any circumstances should
bear tYe privile8e Of immunity because Of some Other Party, thtrd
Parties' lack of responsiblity.''

didn't read the Bill or dida't understand what the issue is. Thfs
Bill ia no manner, in no manner: lessens the liabillty of the motorist
to respond in dnmnges if his negligence caused the injury. And
the Representative should know that. We don't attempt fn .any way
to absolve the motorist from the responsibility to pay for any damages
that his negligence causes. What we do seek for this Bill is to
' excuse him from compliance with a financial responsibility statute '
to keep his driver's license. But if.his aegligence causes the '
injury, he'll still have to pay for it to the extent that his worldly '. . . ' . . .
goods will permit hfm to do so. So I would urge the last speaker .

; that he may be, try to find the longest lasting kind of plate. It
t does not tié any Secretary of State to a specific number of years
' so tbat we can get the longest use possible out of the plates that
we have in the State of Illinbis and also gives the Secretary the
right to go back to issue a new plate for a year when the other plates
ïndicate that tbe'materiai is'wearina out or not holzlnq upeso that
. we will not be %ithout adequate plates in the State of Illinois and
can still get the best out of them. The ffrst year, the first ini-
tial year tbat the plates will be used on passenger vehicles will'
be in the year 1978. And in regard to Members of the General As- '
sembly, it would be the year 1979 because that fs the year when
we will be nevly elected and will get new numbers.for the House of
Representatives and for the Senate. This Bill would provide that -
you continue to apply for plates as you bave in the past. It con-
tinues to give people the right to request special numbers and to . -
have those special numbers, to have those privileges that theyVve
had heretofore. It does not in this Bi11 make any change in the
cost of plates or reglstratfon. It does not in this Bill'say that
it shall be two plates or a kingte plate. It would be two plates '
xuunless we change the law otherwise in' other provisions of the laws
of the State of Illinois. This merely lets the multi-year concept

ten that it will fit in with any other future changes,that might
be Dade. It also provfdès the Secretary the optfon of going fnto
second division vebicles when it can be done without encouraging
fraud or without causing any loss or causing any discomfort or dis-
abilities to anyone wbo now has second division vehicles of any
kind. It lets the Secretary go into them by groups instead of taking
the whole second division when it is found tbat you can do so eco-
nomtcally and can do so reasonably and can still continue to serve
the public adequately and properly. Thts Bill is a Bill that will
save a 1ot of money for the State of Illfnois. While the first

Speaker Redmond: HRepresentative Griesheimer. Please give the Gentle-

Griesheimer: HThank you, Mr. Speaker. I donît know whether we have to
dwell upon this subject as I think a11 of us in this room should
be well aware of tbe practical need for savfng money in the State
of Illinois to say nothing for the practical wear and tear on the
citizens of Illinios following our rather old, ridiculous system . -
of annual license plaees in this state. For your information, I1-
linois is one of the last nine remaining states in the Dnited States
who has not applied some form of multi-year plate system.' Wben ft. . , . . . . . . . . . - - : . . . y ..,z . . . .
was first started in Wisconsin with a Bill very simflar to the pre-
' sent ones it was started cautiously on a two-year basis. It was
then extended to four years: six years. eight yearsy and now itgs! .l here it '! up to ten years. It is working very well in every state wI'? has been applied. I have personally spoken with the Secretaries
h of state or uisconstn, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, and Pennsylvanta;
î ion and alsoas well as the head of the DeparLmeat of Transportat! .
5 the head of the state Patrol. And to tbis 'date, they have a11 found!': thts system to be very 'practtcable' - one that's working with- .1 .' out any flaws and one that saves a great deal of money. Now wben
We talk about money, we must think to ourselves, what type of plateIi are we gozng to use sn Ilztnots? I have here today some plates that
were submitted to the committee two years ago. The physical plate) 'l . Iï I hzve in my POSSeSSiO? todax iS four years O1d: Was used for four '

stands today is probably in better condition than the new plates
we just Put on our cars. The fact of the matter is that we must
. develop a better plate bui this Bill will allow the Secretary of
.state the needed. expansion that he wants to go into .better plates,
' better materials and develop the system. I agree with Representa-
tive Tipsword, Vhis will save a great deal of money. It's hard to
' speculape how much meney ft uill save over a perfod of time. But
certainly ft will save no less than two and a half million dollars
i f11 nl 'cost a first-class '' ' ' 'a year fn postage aloue because e w o y
stamp to sead out the renewal sticker as opposed to the present forty-
two cents to send out a set of plates. I would also pofnt out to
' you that in the course of investigating the background of thisy I
found out that the reason that many plates are not received by the
citizens of this sta--e is nct a fault of the Secretary of State, but
rather because of the volume of plate mailing. The Post Office
here in Springfield wt1l only send so many per day. And as a con- -
* jsequence, there s a very great backlog and therefore, many citizens
do not get their plates until the very last moment. I thinlt that
the present Secretary of State is very much in favor of this plan.
I think that the Governorfs Office has shown that they endorse the
concept. . Thev are concerned about MNow-this will be proper-y funded.
But 1 think a11 in a11 this is certaialy an idea'whose time has come.
1 welcome t:e opportunity to jointly sponsor this Bill with Repre- .

J Davis: ''Thank you Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlem'en of tbe House. .
House Bill 534 seeks to provide some economic relief options for -
downstate townships that are in urban growth areas by providing,
under the current Township Organization Act of March 18, 0.74 as. . -. ' - . . . .. . . . ' -
amended, downstate townships who have budgetary or revenue appro-
priation procedures of under one hundred thousand dollars have the
option by the Town Board of Electors to skip annual audits by out-
side certified public accountants. It's an extremely advantageous
procedure to reaffirm the electors and the trustees, to reaffirm
their ability to perform those internal audits on an anaual basis
rather than to bire an outslde certified public accountant at great
expense which, in some cases, if your budget went over one hundred
thousand and one dollar, could be as much as two and a half to tbree
percent of your total budget. We seek at this point to'raise that
limit of one bundred thousand dollars to one hundred and flfty- thou-
sand dollars because of the revenue sharing provisions and the in-
flâtionary fmpact and growth patcerns in downstate township counties.

ter the Sunset Bill adopted tn Colorado which type of Btll has now

audits of agencies. Like the Colorado legislation and the legi-
slation in other states, it provides and guarantees that once every
ten years, there will be systematfc review as to whether the agency
is really needed. I would urge the adoption of House Bill 540 which

created tn the field of registration and education, whether these
ageacfes are needed. And I would urge the passage of this Bi11.''

.1 Katz: HThe Legislature is always free to elimfnate that agency. Al1(%
k( that the Sunset Bill does fs to guarantee that it will bq done sys-
è tematically. The elilination and the review wôuld be done by Stand-;'
.'ë . ing Committeep .in the House who would every.two years take up the

) Peters : ''One more question, Mr. Katz . A systematic review does notf - .-.
mean automatf c terminatfon?'l
Katz: HWe11 what it does it secures sytematic revie'w by providing that) # :
! rthe agencies will expire every ten years. That s the way Colorado -
has done it and the way a number of other states have done. That
wayy.the Leqislature has to come .to grips.and decide whether to
renew that agency. What it does ts to guarantee systematic review
and in most instances, I have no doubt that the tegislature would
find that the agency was still needed and would continue it. BuL
the great beauty of sunset is that the people who run these agencies
are aware of the fact that they will have systematic review, run
their agencies more for tbe public's benefit than from any private
interest benefit. It gives us a new desire on the part of state
agencies to serve the people who are the ones that the legislation
is passed for.'' '

within the government that we have created over the 'years. They
were created for good purposes as of that time. ue need to take
a look to see if that purpose is still being carried out and if the
need is stiil there. Many o! the departments after theyfre createdyiI have become little empires of their own and expanded beyond the
scope of the original intention of the legislqtion and become really
a 1aw unto themselves. And there's no monitoring on the operation
of these various agencies.and I thfnk that this does that very thing.
And itîs time that we looked at the various departments of our go-
vernment as to how ftês functionfng. And if ft merits continuance.

Katz: ''We11, it would be part of the assets of the state like any other
assets. I think most of these agenciesy Representative Kosinskiy
do not have assets. They are licensing agencies and they would
simply belong to the State of Illinois but these are not agencies- that would owe an'asset to the stàte. The only tbing you need to '
preserve is the claim of any citizen and that is preserved speci-' fically in the Bi11 as ln the earller Bill that we passed a couple '
of days ago-''
Kosinskiï ''IiNere there's action of an agency under nonapproprfatèd fundsy
is there any method of transferring that to another agency?ll
Katz: HWe11, there woùldn't be any unappropriatèd funds because the
agency vould expire in a year and we simply wouldn't appropriate
any more money. It doesn't automatically expire that miaute. It
expires a year later and since we apprpriate for a year, that would
11 .never occur.
Kosinski: î'And if there is a violation of this legislation, who will
be concerned wfth such violaefon? Khat departaeat?''
Katz: ''îfelly the Auditor General makes the audit of the agency, a per-
formance audit that is made #nd a copy given to each Member of the-
Legislature so we know what he finds as to bow that agency is oper- .
ynnatin:. Theny tbat is heard by the Audit Commission. First of all.
the Audftor General gfves hfs repcre to our ecn Legislatfve Audft
Commsssion and then it ié heard by a Standing Committee of this House
or the Senate. It would be heard by a Committee: either of the House
or the Senate, a regular Standing Committee. And they would hear
it like they would any otber legislation and decid'e whether based
on that performance audfe and based on the tescimony of the head
of the Department of Registration and Educations if ft's a licensing
agency, and based on anyone wbo wants to testify that ageucy was
stfll needed and then they could just recreate the agency.''
Kosinski: ''In the legislation does it specifically indicate that the
Audftor ceneral wfll make such reports?''
Katz: ''Yes, the legfslation specifically requires the Auditor General- ke such a report and the Auditor General was present when theto ma
