we have a great member in our community, Mr. Clarence Ropp.
I immediately took hold of that and whenever 1 needed
proqramsv I found the man that was interested in students,
in the youth and recognized these youth as a natur... one

Mccracken: e'Thank you, dr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen of tbe
House. Yhe genesis of this 3i1l is apparentlv the
situation in Robbins. Illinoism where the municipality
finds itself bankrupt. The purpose of the Amendment is oot
to set a precedent for statewide relief. I understand that
this Bill creates a separate authority for the purpose of
these bailouts. He are not necessarily opposed to helpkng
Robbins. He are reluctant to allow tbis agency to be
8
STATE OF ILLIROIS85th GENERAL ASSEFIBLYHOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESTRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
15th Legislative Da? Flarch 1987
creatad for genaral use of any municipality that finds
itself in trouble. Because Robbins is the reason for this
8111 and because Robbins is in need of help at the moment,
we are asking that we limit the application of the Act to
Robbins and with that limitation this side of the aisle is
willing to support tbe Bill. Sov I would ask that we adopt
this Amendmento''
Speaker dcpikez OGentleman from Cook, Representative McNamara./
McNamara: edThank vou, l'lr. Speaker. On Amendment Jl, apparently
what this Amendment does is take out the home rule
provision. This is effectivel? done in a very easy fashion
by Amendment ï)#. So, 1 would like to have him take a look
at the Amendment, see if he could withdraw Amendment f/t and
we will go ahead wlth Amendment J;44 which removes the

power units... or home pow... home power authority; that
isv that it preempts anv home rule powers with respect to
this âct. The Amendment purports to delete that so that
the home rule powers would be left in tact. I guess my
response is that the home rule powers applv only to
municipalities in excess of 254000. decause of that and
because of the substantial number of municipalities between
104000 and 25,000, it is our position tbat Amendment 4%
does not adequately address our concerns. He would ask to
proceed with Amendment 91.4:
Speaker Mcpike: '#Representative Mccracken, I think the Gentleman

Steczo: l'Thank you. Mr. Speaker. hlembers of the House. 14 toov

simply limit the... our attempt to try to assist the
Village of Robbîns bv limiting tbis to certain populations.
Howeverv @ou took at the... at the text of the Bi114 you
will see or hopefult? understand that the problem does not
tie in one municipalit? alone. Tbis is an opportunit? for
we in the State of Illinois, at ver? tittle cost to the
State of Illinoîsm to be able to help not only those small
communities under t0,0004 but if itês the Bradleves or the
Kankakeees or the Macomb.s or some others that fall,
perbaps. within tbe t0,000 to 25.000 range, thev should too

have the opportunit? to be able to come to the state on
their own and to invoke the provisions of this 1aw to allow
this commission to be set up and assist them to try to
alleviate the financial problems that tbey have. This ls
an important Bill not only for one municipalit? in the
state. This could be... This is a Bill that would glve
other municipalities, other municipalities without the
clout, of munîcipalities over one million, to be able to
come to us and sa#, *Look, we have a legitimate problem.
He need your expertise to try to help us out of it.:
Amendment /)l thwarts that, and I thînk should be
defeated-o
Speaker Mcpikel 'lRepresentative Cullerton.o
Cullerton: ê'Yes, thank you. Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen
of the House. I Just wanted to reiterate the arguments in
opposition to the Amendment. The Gentleman, the Sponsor of
the Bill, has indicated that he would use the 25,000
population limit, whîch is a logical choice in tbat ites
alreadv in the statutes. The population of Robbins, I
understand, is abeut 8500 people. By taking an arbitrarv
figure of 1040004 it*s very close to the population of
Robbins. It doesn*t seem to me to make any sense. If a
munîcipality of 1t4000 has the same problems that Robbins
hasv it would seem to me that this same Bitl should apply
to them as well. So4 for that reasonp l uould support the
Sponsor of the Billes position that he is opposed to the
Amendment, and I would ask for a eno* vote.e:
Speaker Mcpikel ''Furtber discussion? Representative Hoffman.p
Boffmanl uThank you, Mr. Speakerv Ladies and Gentlemen of the
House. In al1 due respect to the Sponsor of the Bill and
the previous speaker in opposition to the Amendmentv
would suggest that often in the past we have drawn

constitutionall? and statutoril: correct, however. would
apply to a specific situation. don't think in my 20
years in the Legislature that we have faced any similar
situation as we*re facing in the community of Robbins
today, and I think with this Amendment we are going to
narrow the focus of this issue down as closelv as we can
and in a reasonable wa9 that think we can all feel secure
with. And for that reason, and with a1l due respect to the
Sponsor of the legislation. endorse the ûmendment

rest of the Members of the General Assembly to do
likewise.fê

Wolcik: e:Yes, <r. Speaker and plembers of the House, even though
tbe sponsor has good intentionv it is my personal feeling
that tbis would be opening up a pandora*s box. He would
not be only looking at cost that would be incurred; we
would be looking at other problems that would arise. rhe
problem and the fault specificallv lies within the Village
or Robbins, and tbates where should stay. Therefore.

the Comptroller in his discretion to create the Eommission
and that if he chooses to do so in his discretion, he must
do so eithin 30 davs. Nowv the purpose for this is not to
slow down anv response to the emergency, if@ in factv it is
valid. This is used as a check by which the Comptroller
may pass upon the validity of the emergency. If this check
is not in place, then the mere expression by the local
autborities of an energency requires the creation of the
commission and, in fact, puts into play al1 of these items
and powers by which is autborîzed under this ôill. Sov
we think that that is an appropriate check. given the fact
tbat this is going to be the creation of an agencv able to
incur financial obligations; that ites appropriate that
there be a check of some sort upon its creatîon. If tbe
Comptrollerv who currently is a meuber of the Democratic
Party. chooses to create the commisslon. he will. in
effect. agree that an emergency exists. He don*t think
15
STATE 0F ILLIROIS85th GENERAL ASSEMBLYHOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TRANSCRIPTION DEBAT:
15th Legislative Day Rarch 1l, 1987
that*s onerous. He donet think that*s unfair. We think
tbat the state should have some sort of discretion in
enterinq into this compact. in essence, with this
commission. The second portion of the âmendment, likewise,
is in the nature of a safeguard against the statees being
involved too greatl? for the expenses created by the
commission. Section l04 as amended by this Amendment,
would now read that the General Assembl: maM appropriate
monies to the comaission solely for reimbursing commîssion
membars for necessary and actual expenses incurred. Right
now, there is no limitation upon; onev the ability of the
commission to incur debt; twov the reasons ror that
incurring of debt; and threev the aaount of debt. This
Amendment seeks to limit ehat wa can be obligated to by
this quasi-independent. or semi-independent commission.
There Ss absolutely no reason to feel that this an undue
restraint upon the commission. And in deletinq the Section
of... on page l2. lines :9 through 2: of tbe Bil1. merelv
conforms it to this previous Amendment that the General
Assembly shall reimburse commission members and appropriate
for tbat purpose onlv. You:ve got to rememberv this
authority has the ability to raise money on its own. Hhat
is the... what is tbe need for giving a cart blanche right
of incurring debt payable out of the Generak Revenue Fund?
There is no valid purpose for it. 1 submit that thls
Amendment does no harm to the Bill. It offers appropriate
safeguards. It offers appropriate checks and balances.
So4 I think that this ls an Amendment whicb the Sponsor and
those in favor of tbis legislation can live with. And in
the absence of tbis Amendmentv Rr. Speakerv would
encourage my friends on this side of the aisle to not agree
witb this legislation. The precedent it creates is a ver?
wide-rangingv potentiall? harmful precedent which can
16

involve the state in bailouts at the discretion of local
municipalities. He lose al1 control over our authority
merely by the creation of this coamission as proposed in
House Bill 300.#:
Speaker Mcpike: ''Representative Steczooo
Steczol ''Thank you. Rr. Speaker, Members of the House. I rise in
opposition to Amendment #2. And in listening to the
debate. lem not so sure weere reading the same Sllt. Ieve
Neard that we need to provide 30 days to the Comptroller to
be able to determine whether or not a fiscal emergency
exists. I contend that that is not necessar? because in
order for the local authority to invoke the clauses
contained in House Bill 300. they aust, in fact, ensure
tbat there is a fiscal emergenc? and there is onl: certain
items that would be defined as fiscal emergencies. Number
one would be the existence of a default in the payment of
principal and interest on any debt obligation for more than
90 days. That certainlv would be a fiscal obligation or a
fiscal emergency. The failure to make pavment over 20
percent of al1 payroll to employees, etcetera, etcetera,
etcetera, etcetera. Those are specific indications tbat
allow those local... that local unit of government to
invoke the provîsions of House 3i1l 300. And, in factv
when they dov it has to be by a two-thirds vote. So4 when
we've heard the comment about a mere expression b: locat
authorities, that simply not the case. House Bilt 300
is quite to the point as to what constitutes a fiscal
emergency and how Lhose local authorities can come to the
state. So, tbe Comptroller certainly needs... does not
need another 30 days, because it:s limited as to how this
authority can be invokedo With regard to Section l0# we#re
saving that tbe commission members can be reimbursed for
their expenses. for their actual expenses; howeverv there
17

may be more that the commission members mlght need. and
that would be completely grohibited bv provisions contained
in the new Section 10. So. for a1l intents and purposes. I
think that Amendmznt 92 hinders uhat weere trying to do as
a legitimate. good-faith attempt not to bailoutv because
there are no bailout monies that are... that are specified
in the Bill and certainlv anything over and above would
have to be approved by the General Assembtv. Mhat weere

provision that the Comptroller shall monitor the progress

Comptroller should be monitoring local government. Ever?
local government has to prasent to the Comptrolter everv
year the financiat records or their communitv, and this is
normal and had that operation been happening in the past.
as we hope it will in the future. we could possibl? have
avoided this problem. But the... the purpose of this is to

to try to get their municipality back on track again. And
within those confines, we have established certain
guidelines and the one guideline that Amendment 73

Comptrolter wbo, under the present statutesv has that
authorit? to review and, he does not review a community
that has recently been in financial difficultv, he is
guilty of misfeasance of office and he should be removed.

k)1 addresses basicall? the issue that we heard in Amendment
#L. House 8il1 3004 in its current statev provîdes for a
home rule preemption andm simply, Amendment f;# simpl?
removes that preemption so this would be applicable to
non-homa rule municipalities. I woutd move for its
adoption, l4r. Speaker.o
Speaker l.1cpike: NGentleman moves for the adoption of Amendment
f?#. And on that. Representative Mccracken.'z
Mccracken; #'Thank you. Zr. Speaker. kçeeve already addressedv
somewhat, the issue raised by this Amendment, but the most
important thing to note is the political effect tbis
Amendment has. If this Ataendrzlent is adoptedv then this
Bill will not require an Extraordinary llaloritv to pass;
otherwisev 7: votes would be required. But with tbis
Amendment adoptede this wi1l pass by a Eonstitutional
Malority of 60 votes. 3ut the question vou ask yourself
is, does reallv affect what the Sponsors believe it to
affect? And 1 think on reflection the answer is probabl:
no. This does not supersede bome rule powersv but the
question is4 wby would there be a conrlict between this Act
and home rule powers? If a home rule communitv came to the
Comptroller and certified a fiscal emergency, I donft see
an? conflict between local law and tbe state statutes Wbich
would necessarilv render this an issue of preemption. So,
1 don#t think it does what. in fact, the Sponsors believe
it does. I certainl? know that they act in good faith and
that that is the intent of their Amendaent, but I believe
tbe fact of the matter is that vou will not find a
situation of conflict whera the state is seeking to
supplant home rule authority or municipal authoritv. This
is triggered b? a request of the municipalitv to receive
help from the state. That's the only wav it's triggered,
2:
STATE 0F ILLIROIS85th GENERAL ASSEMBLYHOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESTRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
15th Legislative Da? lqarch Lt4 1987
so you*re never going to have a situation where there's a
conflict between home rule powers and state authority. So4
the real meaning of the Aaendment is onty one thing. The
real meaning of the Amendment is that it requires only a
Eonstitutional llaloritv to pass this Bill. 1 think that
although the author of the Amendment cartainly sincere
in his intentv the fact of the matter is it has no bearing
on the issue of the scope of this provision. The scope of
this Bitt. wîth or without thîs Section in the statute,
will remain a11 municipalities în the State of Illinois
which first request or dzclare the fiscal emergencv. l
would ask evervbodv to vote against tbis Amendment, retain
this home rule preemption ghich the Bill bow has and which
will then require an Extraordinary zlalority for passage./
Speaker Mcpike: ORepresentative Steczo, to closeoo
Steczo: e'Thank ?ouv llr. Speaker. I would Just poînt to the
closing remarks b? the previous Gentleman who said that he
sees no conflict in the Bitl because the local governments
would have to come to the state but said we should retain
the home rule preemptionv just simply require an
Extraordinar? daâorit: to pass the bill. I have long
contended that because the locak government: in fact,
does... must take the first step to approach the State of
Illinois and sav: #ue have a certified fiscal emergency; we
need assistancev' there should really be no need for that
language. And if anybodv recalls a debate that we had on
this Bill last yearv there was a question as to whethec or
not that language, in factv was a home rule preemption.
Sov to negate any problems that might arise in the future,
it's a wise move, we reekv to delete that laoquage because.
in factv that local... local unit of government doesm in
factv have to invoke by a teo-thirds vote the provisions of
House Bi11 300. 1 would move for the adoption of Amendment
