SENATE TRANSCRIPT

Senator Topinka. 
SENATOR TOPINKA: 

Yes, Mr. President and LadiesandGentlemenoftheSenate: 
this --the Reportbecomes the bill, and basically amends the 
Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to define the 
various services that can be performed by people in assisting an 
immigrant in filling out and handling other immigration problems. 
It's supported by Central Management Services. We've worked With 
the City of Chicago very closely. It is in conformance with what 
they want to do. It certainly does not, in any Way,disturb their 
current regulation on how they handle immigration papers and those 
Who are filling them out and performing other services. What we 
also do# too, is We add a part of House B)ll 4160,Which is 
Senator Severns'bill,which created the State Employment Records 
Act. It provides for the Department of Central Management 

in cooperation with the State Comptroller and various 

Services, 

other agencies, to collect and publish information concerning 
salarkes and minorities and women and other information that would 
be of interest. CMS has no problem with that language. The bill 
is also supported by the Illinois Hispanic State Employees' 
Association. That is a11 IknoW at this point. If there are any 
concerns, I certainly would be happy to address them. But at this 
point, I think wedre pretty well negotiated out.
