Kennedy Profile in Courage Award is presented annually to an elected official who has withstood strong opposition from constituents, powerful interest groups, or adversaries to follow what she or he believes is the right course of action; the award is named for President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Profiles in Courage, which recounts the stories of eight U.S. Senators who risked their careers to fight for what they believed in; and WHEREAS, Dean Koldenhoven, the one-term Mayor of Palos Heights, Illinois, who condemned religious intolerance toward an Islamic community that had hoped to convert a local and vacant Christian church into a mosque, is a recipient of the 2002 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award; and WHEREAS, In May 2000, plans to open a mosque in the Chicago suburb of Palos Heights upset many residents and prompted some city council members to consider derailing the plan by condemning the property the mosque wanted to purchase; in response to the racially tinged comments of people opposed to the mosque moving into the building, Mayor Koldenhoven said, "It hurts me. Here we are, coming up on Memorial Day. People fought and died for these freedoms; we talk about these freedoms. But then some people decide they're not freedoms for everyone."; and WHEREAS, As the sale progressed and the Al Salam Mosque Foundation sought zoning permits, the council suddenly argued that the city needed the property for recreational purposes, although they had rejected the space two years earlier for being too small; they claimed the city would use the former church property, which was across the street from an existing recreational center, as a gymnasium; and WHEREAS, At a city council meeting, representatives of the Al Salam Mosque Foundation were subjected to insensitive questioning and derogatory comments from aldermen and residents; council members questioned the "upside down" schedule of Muslim prayer, and one
[May 15, 2002] 16 resident commented that the Muslim group should "convert to Christianity" or "go back to your own countries"; public council meetings turned into heated battles overwrought with discriminatory religious and racial discourse; and WHEREAS, Because the property was already under contract, the alderwoman in whose district the former church was located tried to foil the sale by condemning the church and blocking the issuance of the necessary licenses; eventually, when her efforts failed, the city council proposed a $200,000 pay-off to get the group to abandon their plans to purchase the property so that the city could buy it; a questionable act of fiscal judgment, as one reporter wrote, given that "the city budget has a balance of $400,000"; according to the city council members who voted to pay the Mosque, the $200,000 was not a "buyout" but was intended "to cover legal expenses"; and WHEREAS, When the Al Salam Mosque Foundation originally accepted the $200,000 offer, it was criticized by a member of the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee, who said, "Our religion is not for sale, and our racial background is not for sale."; and WHEREAS, Although the city council voted in favor of the payment and the Al Salam Foundation ultimately accepted it, Mayor Koldenhoven vetoed the offer in July of 2000, calling it an "embarrassment" and "insult" to the Muslim community; "Government has no place in this issue", he stated as he blocked the buyout plan; "I can understand a fear of heights and a fear of flying. But when it is a fear of a person, they need to get over it." Koldenhoven said; and WHEREAS, His vociferous opposition to the city council's actions drew national attention, resulting in a public backlash against the middle class community; one editorial headline read, "Palos Heights Disgraces Itself"; ultimately, the Al Salam Mosque Foundation abandoned its plans to move to Palos Heights, citing apprehensions about relocating the mosque to a community where it was not wanted; in November 2000, the Palo Heights residents voted against purchasing the church property; and WHEREAS, In what many believe was the result of his decision of conscience to do what he thought was right for the community, Koldenhoven was defeated in his bid for reelection on April 3, 2001; and WHEREAS, Mr. Koldenhoven has been a resident of Palos Heights for the past 30 years; he was raised on a farm in Alsip and resided in Garden Homes from 1955 to 1970 and in Arizona from 1970 to 1972; and WHEREAS, Before he was elected Mayor of Palos Heights in April 1997, Koldenhoven served as a Republican precinct captain, as a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, and as Zoning Commissioner; a member of Local 21 Bricklayers since May 1954, Koldenhoven currently is employed as a brick salesman for Tri-State Brick Company; and WHEREAS, He has been married to Ruth Koldenhoven for 47 years; they are the parents of Linda Riley, Sharon Vallas, Dean Koldenhoven, and the late Donny Koldenhoven and the grandparents of Erin Riley, John Riley, Paul Vallas, Dean Koldenhoven III, Nicholas Koldenhoven, Gus Vallas, Rachel Koldenhoven, Mark Vallas, Samantha Koldenhoven, and David Koldenhoven; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we congratulate Dean Koldenhoven on being a recipient of the 2002 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award in recognition of his courage and determination in promoting religious tolerance in Palos Heights despite the presence of great adversity; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to Dean Koldenhoven as an expression of our esteem.

HOUSE RESOLUTION 908 Offered by Representative Fowler: WHEREAS, Amid a quarter-century-plus of decision-making, Al Way has apparently sent in his final play as head football coach at Harrisburg High School; and WHEREAS, Following 21 highly-successful seasons, Al Way has retired as Harrisburg High School's winningest football coach in school history; and WHEREAS, The Charleston native and Eastern Illinois University graduate began his football coaching career in 1972 at Eldorado High School, where he served for three years as an assistant under the late Al "Boz" Adams; upon Mr. Adams' retirement, Coach Way was named to direct the Eagles' program in 1975, where the Eagles went 12-7 in two seasons; in addition to coaching football, Coach Way, also coached baseball from 1973 to 1976; and WHEREAS, Coach Way was hired at Harrisburg High School in 1977 and served as an assistant under then-head coach Ken Joggerst for four seasons; in early 1981, less than two months following Harrisburg's second-place finish in the 1980 Class 3A finals, Al Way took over the controls as Head Coach; and WHEREAS, Continuing to implement the straight-T, full-house backfield ground game that became a staple throughout the 1980s, Coach Way's theory of ball-control and time-consuming drives - a hand-me-down from former Coach Adams - ruled over teams which used diversified offenses; the success of what was considered an antiquated form of football was stellar, as was the string of success against larger schools in the old South Seven Conference days; and WHEREAS, Without an organized system of football at the grade
[May 15, 2002] 18 school levels, the Harrisburg High School program developed players from the ground-up as freshmen and still reigned supreme over opponents that seemingly had more hands-on experience; and WHEREAS, If not for a bizarre ending to a 1984 loss at Mount Vernon and a teacher's strike in 1992, Coach Way's career at Harrisburg High School would have likely started with 14 consecutive playoff appearances; as much as the Harrisburg program thrived, the Bulldogs several times found themselves snake-bit when the playoffs rolled around; twice the Bulldogs, normally a Class 3A playoff entrant, were "bumped up" a division; still, the Bulldogs made two semifinal appearances in Class 4A (1983, 1991), another in Class 3A, and the 1997 team advanced to the 3A title game before losing to Maple Park Kaneland; and WHEREAS, Despite all the Bulldogs' success under Coach Way, Harrisburg had lost at least one regular-season game in the first 19 years of Coach Way's tenure; that all changed in the fall of 2000, when Coach Way's career came full-circle with a perfect season; the 14-0 championship season finally arrived in the Bulldogs' 16th playoff appearance under Coach Way; blessed with what can only be described as a dedicated assemblage of young men, the Bulldogs steamrolled their opposition en route to the Class 3A championship in Champaign; the Bulldogs capped the season with a 41-13 victory over Oregon; and WHEREAS, Coach Way's varsity success was not limited to just football; he also took over the Harrisburg High School softball program in 1995, and behind the fireballing efforts of his daughter Chrissy, the Lady Bulldogs took home third place in the 1996 Class A State finals; coupled with a 30-1 record the year before, Coach Way's record in two seasons as Lady Bulldogs coach was 60-6, a .909 winning percentage; and WHEREAS, Coach Way, who in 1999 was named to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame, ranked seventh among active coaches in victories with a record of 178-71, including a 27-15 log in the post-season; and WHEREAS, Coach Way will continue to serve as assistant wrestling coach, as well as keeping his positions in physical and driver's education; and WHEREAS, Coach Al Way is the devoted husband of Michelle and the proud father of Scott and Chrissy; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we congratulate Coach Al Way on his retirement as football coach after a stellar coaching career at Harrisburg High School, and we wish him well in all of his future endeavors; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Al Way as an expression of our esteem.

25 [May 15, 2002] families and brings hope to so many; and WHEREAS, In December 2001, Ron Santo lost part of his right leg to diabetes-related complications; after so many years, the role model, the beacon of hope, might have needed encouragement himself; but once again his determination and optimism to overcome challenges added to his motivation to get "on his feet" again in order to continue his role as a true crusader for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; and WHEREAS, Ron Santo is a Lifetime Board Member for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Greater Chicago Chapter; and WHEREAS, Clearly, there could be no more dedicated "team player" than Ron Santo; to honor him as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Greater Chicago Chapter 2002 Person of the Year is only to recognize the obvious, that Ron is not only a person of the year, but a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation champion for all seasons and all years; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we congratulate Ron Santo for being chosen as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Person of the Year; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be given to Ron Santo as an expression of our esteem.

RESOLUTIONS The following resolutions were offered and placed in the Committee on Rules. HOUSE RESOLUTION 889 Offered by Representative Durkin: WHEREAS, The United States Supreme Court, on April 16, 2002, rendered its decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, deciding that the Child Pornography Act of 1996 is overly broad in its ban on sexually explicit images that appear to depict minors, but are not produced using minors, also known as virtual child pornography; and WHEREAS, The United States Supreme Court held that such speech is neither child pornography nor obscene, and thus a ban abridges the freedom to engage in a substantial amount of lawful speech, therefore legitimizing virtual child pornography; and WHEREAS, The United States Supreme Court's decision impedes prosecutors' ability to prosecute actual child pornography cases by creating a defense for child pornographers that their images are computer-generated, thereby raising a reasonable doubt as to a perpetrator's guilt; and WHEREAS, The Nation and the State of Illinois have a compelling interest in protecting our children; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the United States Supreme Court to consider the ability of advanced technology to make it impossible to enforce actual child pornography laws because the Government cannot prove that certain pornographic images are of real children; and be it further
27 [May 15, 2002] RESOLVED, That we urge the United States Supreme Court to acknowledge the difficulty in distinguishing between virtual and actual child pornography and find that there is a compelling interest in banning virtual child pornography to ensure that prosecutors are able to protect our children from exploitation; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be sent to each Justice of the United States Supreme Court. HOUSE RESOLUTION 892 Offered by Representative Erwin: WHEREAS, Research has indicated that up to two years of participation in post-secondary education helps to significantly increase the lifetime earnings of all adults; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Board of Higher Education is the State of Illinois' planning and coordinating agency for higher education policy; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Board of Higher Education has established a goal to increase access and participation in higher education for all Illinois residents, especially those among the lowest participating groups including the low income and Hispanic; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Consortium on International Education has highlighted the value of student exchanges with Mexico, particularly for financially needy students; and WHEREAS, Hispanic students are the fastest growing college student population in Illinois, now numbering over 43,000 students enrolled; and WHEREAS, The Hispanic population of Illinois has grown by 65 percent since the 1990 census; and WHEREAS, A number of undocumented Hispanic students reside in the State of Illinois and seek higher education opportunity; and WHEREAS, The residency status and treatment of undocumented Illinois students has been raised as a potential barrier for increased participation by Hispanic students in public post-secondary institutions in Illinois; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we respectfully request that the Illinois Board of Higher Education undertake an analysis of the relative treatment of undocumented residents in the admissions process of all Illinois public colleges and universities; in addition, we further request that the administrators review past, current, and future plans to increase participation rates among Hispanic students in Illinois and offer suggestions for removing existing barriers to participation in higher education for both documented and undocumented Hispanic students; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Illinois Board of Higher Education report its findings to the Illinois House of Representatives by December 1, 2002. HOUSE RESOLUTION 894 Offered by Representative Slone: WHEREAS, The availability of effective antibiotics over the last 6 decades has transformed bacterial infections from life-threatening scourges to easily treatable conditions; and WHEREAS, The use and misuse of antibiotics has been shown to promote the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria; and WHEREAS, Infections caused by resistant bacteria are more difficult or impossible to treat; resistance also increases the rate at which such bacteria are transmitted to humans; and WHEREAS, The risk for contracting an antibiotic-resistant infection is highest for children, the elderly, hospital patients, transplant recipients, people undergoing chemotherapy, HIV positive individuals, and others whose immune systems may be depressed; and WHEREAS, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria costs the United States at least $4 billion to $5 billion annually, according to a recent article published by the Institute of Medicine; and
[May 15, 2002] 28 WHEREAS, The World Health Organization, the American Public Health Association, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and other medical and public health authorities acknowledge that antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens constitute an increasingly grave public health crisis; and WHEREAS, According to the Union of Concerned Scientists of Cambridge, Massachusetts, approximately 10 times more antibiotics by volume are used in American agriculture than are used for treating sick humans; an estimated 93%, which equals 24.5 million pounds, of antibiotics used in agriculture each year are used not to treat sick animals but rather are given to healthy beef cattle, swine, and poultry without prescription or veterinary supervision for non-therapeutic reasons, including growth promotion and disease prevention; and WHEREAS, The majority of antibiotics used in raising livestock and poultry, by the same estimates, are identical or nearly identical to the antibiotics relied on by health care providers to treat sick people; the effectiveness of antibiotics used to treat both sick humans and sick animals is being compromised; and WHEREAS, The American Medical Association opposes the use of medically important antibiotics in agriculture at non-therapeutic levels; any delay in reducing agricultural antibiotic use in the United States will only heighten the public health risk given that continued unnecessary use of antibiotics will promote further development of drug-resistant bacteria; and WHEREAS, The European Union has already restricted the use of many medically important antibiotics in agriculture and has continued to raise food animals successfully and cost-effectively; and WHEREAS, This is a national health issue and it is appropriate that government action limiting the unnecessary use of antibiotics in agriculture should be undertaken at the federal level to create a uniform policy to be applied to all states; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we strongly urge the Food and Drug Administration to immediately take steps to eliminate the use of medically important antibiotics at non-therapeutic levels in animal agriculture and aquaculture and to limit all livestock and poultry antibiotic use to those uses authorized by veterinary prescription and under veterinary supervision; and be it further RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be presented to the Food and Drug Administration and the members of the Illinois congressional delegation.

(a-1) The Secretary of State may issue a series of special plates that the General Assembly has authorized for issuance on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly only if the organization seeking issuance of the plates either has deposited with the Secretary in cash an amount the Secretary has determined to be sufficient to cover the cost of designing, manufacturing, and issuing 1,500 sets of the special plates or has provided the Secretary with a performance bond guaranteeing payment of the required amount if necessary.

(a) Public Act 90-456, effective January 1, 1998, was entitled "An Act in relation to criminal law.". It contained provisions amending the Criminal Code of 1961, the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and the Emergency Telephone System Act, all pertaining to the subject of criminal law. It also contained a provision amending subsection (b) of Section 2-14 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, relating to the commencement of civil adjudicatory hearings in abuse, neglect, and dependency cases. (b) The Illinois Supreme Court, in People v. Sypien, Docket No. 89265, has ruled that the inclusion of the amendment to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 violated the single subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)), and that Public Act 90-456 is therefore unconstitutional in its entirety. (c) This Act re-enacts Section 2-14 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The text of that Section includes both the changes made by Public Act 90-456 and changes made by subsequent amendments. In order to avoid confusion with the changes made by subsequent amendments, the Section that is re-enacted in this Act is shown as existing text (i.e., without striking and underscoring). This Act is not intended to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of the re-enacted Section as set forth in this Act. This Act also amends Section 2-22 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (d) All otherwise lawful actions taken before the effective date of this Act in reliance on or pursuant to Section 2-14 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, as set forth in Public Act 90-456 or as subsequently amended, by any officer, employee, or agency of State government or by any other person or entity, are hereby validated. (e) This Act applies to actions or proceedings pending on or after the effective date of Public Act 90-456 (January 1, 1998), as well as to actions or proceedings pending on or after the effective date of this Act. Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by re-enacting Section 2-14 and by changing Section 2-22 as follows:
[May 15, 2002] 32 (705 ILCS 405/2-14) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-14) Sec. 2-14. Date for Adjudicatory Hearing. (a) Purpose and policy. The legislature recognizes that serious delay in the adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency cases can cause grave harm to the minor and the family and that it frustrates the health, safety and best interests of the minor and the effort to establish permanent homes for children in need. The purpose of this Section is to insure that, consistent with the federal Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980, Public Law 96-272, as amended, and the intent of this Act, the State of Illinois will act in a just and speedy manner to determine the best interests of the minor, including providing for the safety of the minor, identifying families in need, reunifying families where the minor can be cared for at home without endangering the minor's health or safety and it is in the best interests of the minor, and, if reunification is not consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the minor, finding another permanent home for the minor. (b) When a petition is filed alleging that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, an adjudicatory hearing shall be commenced within 90 days of the date of service of process upon the minor, parents, any guardian and any legal custodian, unless an earlier date is required pursuant to Section 2-13.1. Once commenced, subsequent delay in the proceedings may be allowed by the court when necessary to ensure a fair hearing. (c) Upon written motion of a party filed no later than 10 days prior to hearing, or upon the court's own motion and only for good cause shown, the Court may continue the hearing for a period not to exceed 30 days, and only if the continuance is consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the minor. When the court grants a continuance, it shall enter specific factual findings to support its order, including factual findings supporting the court's determination that the continuance is in the best interests of the minor. Only one such continuance shall be granted. A period of continuance for good cause as described in this Section shall temporarily suspend as to all parties, for the time of the delay, the period within which a hearing must be held. On the day of the expiration of the delay, the period shall continue at the point at which it was suspended. The term "good cause" as applied in this Section shall be strictly construed and be in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 231 (a) through (f). Neither stipulation by counsel nor the convenience of any party constitutes good cause. If the adjudicatory hearing is not heard within the time limits required by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, upon motion by any party the petition shall be dismissed without prejudice. (d) The time limits of this Section may be waived only by consent of all parties and approval by the court. (e) For all cases filed before July 1, 1991, an adjudicatory hearing must be held within 180 days of July 1, 1991.

Ordered that the Clerk inform the Senate. The following resolutions were offered and placed in the Committee on Rules. HOUSE RESOLUTION 910 Offered by Representative Hamos: WHEREAS, The General Assembly sought to enhance care for seniors and disabled persons in nursing homes by enacting the Tobacco Products Tax Act of 1995, imposing a tax on distributors of various tobacco products other than cigarettes, such as cigars and chewing tobacco; and WHEREAS, The constitutionality of the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 has been litigated since the enactment of that 1995 Act by Arangold Corporation, an Illinois corporation doing business as a wholesale tobacco distributor subject to the tax; and WHEREAS, The constitutionality of the tax has been upheld by every court, most recently by the First District Appellate Court on April 12, 2002 in the case of Arangold Corporation v. Department of Revenue et al; and WHEREAS, The Arangold Corporation has sought leave to appeal before the Illinois Supreme Court and that petition is now pending; and WHEREAS, The State of Illinois is experiencing a severe budget shortfall due to a national economic downturn and factors related to the tragic events of September 11, 2001, which may result in 8.8% reductions in payments to nursing homes in the fiscal year 2003 budget, totaling $171 million; and WHEREAS, An escrow fund was established for the collection of the tobacco products tax with respect to the Tobacco Products Tax Act litigation, and that escrow fund now has more than $70 million on deposit, which, if the funds are now released and matched with federal Medicaid funds, would result in an additional $140 million for payments to nursing homes in fiscal year 2003; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge Attorney General Jim Ryan to file an emergency motion or petition before the Illinois Supreme Court to (a) expedite consideration of the pending petition for leave to appeal, or (b) to seek the immediate release of the moneys held in escrow so that adequate funding for nursing home care for seniors and the disabled can be accomplished in the fiscal year 2003 budget, or both; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to Attorney General Jim Ryan. HOUSE RESOLUTION 914 Offered by Representative Bost: WHEREAS, The State of Illinois is a leader in livestock production, which is an essential component in maintaining the overall economic viability and growth of a diversified agricultural economy; and WHEREAS, An Illinois Consumer Premium Meat Initiative Program will contribute to the economy of the State and to maintaining the State's leading role in livestock production; and WHEREAS, A consumer marketing preference study is needed to identify consumer preferences and how meat products meeting those quality characteristics can be consistently delivered to the processor, retailer, and the consumer resulting in an increased demand for Illinois meat products; and WHEREAS, A program is needed to identify quality factors, animal genetics, processing factors, and the economics of a consumer premium meat initiative to assure that the producer may produce and deliver quality products that will add value to the product at the production level, and to provide producers with genetic tools to efficiently
37 [May 15, 2002] improve quality; and WHEREAS, The findings of the interaction of genetics and nutrition need to be distributed to Illinois livestock producers; and WHEREAS, The producer and consumer will benefit from a voluntary producer certification program that identifies meat products that have specific characteristics; and WHEREAS, In order to communicate to the consumer that a meat product meets an Illinois quality meat standard, certification of the meat product and its identification at the retail level is an essential goal of an Illinois consumer premium meat program; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Department of Agriculture, in accordance with its authority for market development and promotion activities, may develop an appropriate consumer label for identifying an Illinois premium meat; therefore be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we find a need for the development of a program for the enhancement of meat quality to meet consumer demands and preferences and to compete in the world market; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Department of Animal Science, Food, and Nutrition of Southern Illinois University is encouraged to begin, within its available resources, the development of a premium meat initiative pilot program.
