Does this mean there absolutely could be no water-sking on lakes

fifty acres or less?

PRESIDENT:

That would be correct. If you can't create a

able to water-ski.

Any further discussion? Senator Harrfs.

12. SENATOR HARRls:

l3. Well, there's a 1ot more in this bill besides that no wake

14. and it just seems to me, I presume, that Representative Deuster has

15. a problem up there in thpt Chain of Lakes area, and what it seems to

k6. me he ought to do is seek the authority to, by ordinance, 'cure their

17. local problem and not provide these very reitrictive regulations on

l8. the entire state. For example/ there are some very serious limitations19 . h' t a person can operate a motorboat. I'm not one that's. on khe aqe t a

20. had a lot of experience in khat regard, but there are an awful lot

21. of young people that presently operate motorboats and if thqydre train-

ed adequately by their parents, I think theylre able to do it. Also,

23. this bill has a section about hoT peoRle can sib in S boat. I just

24. don't know how far we qo to regulate people.

25. PRESIDENT:

Senator Berning may close the debate.

S:NATQR BERNING:

28. Well, thank you, Mr. President. Yes, this does have some re-

29. strictions on who may operate a boat. .RThe age limits for operating

30. motorboats are established the same as. the Wiscoqsin boating 1aW

l2. SENATOR BL0OM:

Well, I could only hear about half of what Senator Harris said '

' *14. due to the static here. But, this is just for a specified emergency

l5. situaqion. This isn't just whim and caprice. If you havenlt got the

fuel to keep the boilers open you shouldn't be penalized by one par-

l7. cent. It's the' way the thrust of this bill was explained to me.

l8. PRESIDBNT:

19. senator Harris.

20. SENATOR HARRIS:

2l. The point 11m making is that they need fuel in the cold winter

22. months, but this eliminates the penalty and permits a school toi

close its year in May or June, and avoid the penalty 'which results

24 in not meeting the minimum number of days to hold school. It seems

to me perfectly logical for a school Jistrict to go ahead and schedule

26. some additional days at the end of the school year.

Mr. Chairman and members of the Body. House Bill 527 sponsored by

B' Representative Rigney in the House and by myself in the Senate, creates

9. a revived and renewed Illinois Brands Açt. Abouk two or three years. @

10. ago when the price of cattle became quite high there was a rash of

ll. burglaries of cattle rustling in Illinois and one spot, I think, Nas

l2. alleged.'it was being done by helicopter. It became apparent then that we

l3. had an ,archaic brands bill where a person could register a brahd in a

14. county clerk's office and it only had to be witnessed by two of his

l5. neighbors but it had littAe affect in this day of high mobility of

kruck and okherwise. This bill would require the Departmerlt of Agri-

l7. culture to take over the Branding Act and co/ies of those brands on

l8. file with the county clerk would have ko be forwarded to the Department

l9. of Aqriculturek They would prepare a book showâng #he registered brands

20. and these brands would then be distributed to sheriffs and other law

enforeement people who are requïred to check on stolen cattlç and so

22. forth. Also, al1 places slaughtering c'attle would be required to keep

23. records of those animals which were branded, for the p-olice or others,

24. and..vso in the event of stolen caktle this could be checked out. There

25. is a fee and there was a dispute in committee about the size of the fee.

26. The fee was reduced from twenty-five dollars to fifteen dollars and

27. .then #9< the renqwal Jftqr 4 five ygqq pq<ipd from fitty ko twenty- . .. : < ': ' ' '' ' 7

28. five. Certainly the bill is an improvepent, in my opinion, over what

29. we Mave, because what we have is so locàl it is of no value at all. It

2 to be'if cattle were stolen, of co'urse, they had to be moved by30. use

wagon or by footr but toda'y with trucks, planes, helicopters and other-

wise, if we're goïng to have' brandlng at al1 it must be on a statewide

9. SENATOR LATHEROTC:

10. well, Mr. President, first of al1 I'd like to rise in opposltion to

this piece of legislation and state to you what I khink khe purpose of

l2. a brand is. The purpose of a brand is to identify one personls owner-

l3. ship from another person's ownership. And in the case of this particular'

piece of legislation, this is not the prinary purpose of this legislation.

Its purpose is to use lakpqehforcement. Now, I think two things that

you must recognize now. Cne Qf them especially as someone in order ko

l7. be l .law enforcament officer and to make this an affective law enforce-

18 i lar brand. I just recentl- ment aqency must be able to read that part cu Il9. have purchased some livestock from Nebraska and just as this bill passed

20. the committee and I asked a gentlemèn out there what it kook to become

21. a brand inspector. He said abop: two and one half years of schooling.

22. Now, otherwise, we're goinq to make professional brand inspectors here

23. in the state of Illinois by passing House Bill 527. We're, also, going

24. to do with this bill a few extra things., which the? don'k do with the

resent branding law. knor, think, tlte f ee of thirty f ive centsP

can go into my county clerk ' s of f ice and reglstor brand today and get

27. . .the sgme idçntiqql. thing. .lahpt cap .qek with thip branding act exeepk . . .

j% r '28. for iablication of a book. Nowz today :o...if this passes I 11 come

29. to the State of Illinoi's those branding,books that are on record with

3o. the county clerk will be forw'arde'd here and then we'll, also, get a

book published of the entire lisk of brands in the State of Illinois.

32. I had a couple of question; I wanted to ask before I finiqhed my re-

marks and one of those, Mr. President, if the sponsor would yield.

appreciate the elongated qnswer to my question.. . '

'

Now of course, it says also wherever .you.ùarket' this particular'

. % :4 . animal that Ehey, also , must read the brand . '. I know you re Well

s '. acquainted around livestock auctions where all these qattle are checked

6 . in :nd so Yorth. And that particular livestock ' is checked in and the

7 . man who ' s .marking it on the right hand side çertainly he cannot read

:. a brand on the left hand side. And if he doesn't read that pyrticular

9. brand and read it correctly he's in violation of the law. Every live-

l0. stock auction in the state of Illinois will have to have a brand in-

spector there in order to read th:t brand, and you well know it, Senator.

12. Right. donlt mind seeinq something used for a proper purpose but

when we start using a brand law here in the State of Illinois to use

l4. for a law enforcement effort that's entirely wrong of the scope of the

Act. Now, brands are used, as for identification

l6. of liveskock from one ownership to another. And you have compulsory

l7. branding you might be successful in your brand identification of live-

l8. stock for 1aw enforcement. I have my brand nlnmher and okher people

l9. around have i6. But, we use. it to identify our livestock from the

20. other person's livestock. Mr. President, I think this bill should be

21. defeated.

1 . ** had the experience a few years ago of having a man' trace a pony al1 the

. way from Enid, Oklahoma through a'sale barn in Tulsa, Oklàhomap a sale

3 '. barn in Eansas Ciky and an auction sale at the fairgrounds in Pptersburg.

1. In space of less than three days..thàt pöny mcved fron where he was

S* stolen 'on Friday night and he was sold the last time on Labor Day: Monday

6 '' at the Petersburg..oor Menard County Fairgrounds. Nowk thexe is an

3* additional purpose besides just identifying your cattle. Now, with8 v , s-' respect to reading brands I 11 admit that a lot of people aren t qual

9. fied to read brands, but still in case of cattle that have been stolen

l0. and marketed I'm sure we could find somebody to read them. This would

11. be under the direction of the Department of Agriculture, it would be

l2. helpful to law enforcement officers. I say itïs a distinct improvemen't

l3. over that 1aw that was passed even though the okher one cost thirty-

14. five cents. One time my little dauqhter was selling potholders she

15. had made and some olher chïld was'selling them and the other child wasl6. selling them for fifteen cents.and she was selling them for''twenty-five

17. and the teacher asked her how eome she was charging twenty-five and

18. the other qirl was charging fifkeeq and she said you qet khat you pay

l9- for. You know, and this is kind of true. Por thirty-five cents you

20. don't get much and we miqht just as well not have a branding act for

2l. al1 it's worth. Today with fences and people know kheir çattle well

22. enough. It isn't as if they were running on open range anymdre. I. k'

23. say webre without a branding act. This is one thing tYat will give us

24. some proteetion. Itds sponsored by rural people in the House. It's

2l' almost impossible to administer and to cover the cost. This amend-22 '- ment is deylgned to keep the good features of the bill and rid the

23. bill of the bad features which are mapy. The... t.herefs fiscal problems

723 deaks with the posting and personal service requirements in aB.

not gotten personal service he can still proceed to judgement for 'l 3 .possession on *he posting alone and then if he ever does get personal1 4

service go back in and get judgement on that. Under present law ifl5.

he posts and has not personally served then he must amend his com-l6. . '

5 SENATOR HARRIS:

6 Well, Mr. President, I juàt thlnk that the Senate ought to be

7 unmistakably clear about the major impllcati'ons involved in this

g piece of legislation. The fact is and Senator Fawell has stated it,. / .

9 that municipalities in the state and counties townships have been

; authorized ko alquire for highway purposes land for that kind'of1 .

utilization . Nowz this broadens it tremendously and permits the leasingl l .

of air rights f or other than àighway purposes . It ' s just a majorl 2 .departure. I don ' t believe that we should take this step at alll 3

.

given it seems to me, and we are, in fact, embarking upon somethingl5.

that is quite dramatically different from khe traditional use of landl6.

major step and think this bill ought to be rejected summarily.l8.

l6. Yes. Well? just.wojust briefly, as it is the only chasge that we' l7. have is that in these instances the lender if obligated to give this

l8. type of information to the borrower. 1...1 can't see anything wrong

l9. With it, ncw, and I would repeat it is a cbnsumer bill that 1...1

2o. think is something that long aga we should have made it clear that

21. any lender ypon request would and should and I think probably ninety

22. percent do and will, but for the ten percent Ehat might not, this merdly

23. says - look Mive this type of. information to the man who has borrowed

24. from you so that he might utilize it for Income Tax purposeà. And

That is correct, buk it does more than that. One of the provâsions12.

of the bill is that if you turn 65 during the year you are eligible 'l3.

for the Circuit Breaker.. The Calendar is incorrect. And that was notl4.

a major thrust to the bill. That was part of# I believe, a House Amend-l5. ' '

SENATOR CARROLL:. . . . ' y:p '. uThank your Mr . President and members bf the Senate . I thihk this''

is mgch needed legislation. I think that the point that has been missed

.by those who rose to oppose the legislafion is one if it is full par-' !

ticipation we are talking abouk just under èleven million dollars. Weknowz however, that we have not had full participation. Two, we'are

talking dbout those people most in need, those on fixed incomes below

ten thousand dollars annual income, and.we are talking about since their

income is fixed,we are attempting to fix that amount the Government takes

back from those people. Three, we are talking about a situation that in

future yearsyrather than qet substantially more costly it will not. It

will get less costly, because not only w1l1 some come off the roll, but

as the income levels of these people rise should they, because of in-

flation, start earning pore money on their pension income the actual

amount of their rebate is iess, because as they get triggered over the

Circuit Breaker their taxes are still at a lower level. So, this actually

in future years works for the benefit of the Stàte under the circuit

Breaker program and keeps its own expenses down while helping those

who most need it. would urge everyone to vote Aye on this legislation.

l4, l5? 19 and 20 are other Revenue Acts and this really has'no legal

impact on the 'assessment. And q would say thak this is going to be a

problem that's going to be forced later to be addressed to and we did '

make an attempt to contact the Agriculture Association to recommend

an amendment that I think would have taken care of this problem which

is poorly drafted and I think placed in khe wrong area. It seems that

youbre trying to amend the Fawell Green Belt Bill by reference and thak's

going to contain some problems for yoa. Iîm going to vote Present on

khe bill and I just wish it would have been cleaned up in the beginning.

PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR BRUCE)

Is there fvrther debate? Senator Knuppel may close.

SENATOR KNUPPEL:

Well, I think there has been some misconstructions on the bill,

but I don't think it prevents people from..xwho are under an agreement

such as this from drilling for oil and mineral development at all. Nowz

ik may require some agreement between the people, but certainly if there

is oil there, all the people within the thing could agree to and

don't think it prevents 6ne person from doing it. I say Ehat this is

a step in tie right direction. It does something that has to be done

if wedre going to protect thebproductive land, the productive agricul-

tural lands of the world. It kill require those people who are sub-

dividing and otherwise use lands that are not agricultural in nature.

It gives some protection to the landowner who's a farmer from his lands

virtually confiscated by increases in Eaxes. It serves a good putpose.

It may be thak wedll be back here sometime the future to amend this

Act to make it a better Act. I think it's a good Act the way it is,

hnd. :; would slzggesk tlaat thosè.. who favor Eiiis .' c8nc/pt .that they blqppcsrff '''; -. .
