Legislative service com­ missions, such as the Legislative Reference Bureau and the Legislative Council would be reorganized under the Joint Committee on Legislative Support Services. Workers' Compensation (HB 2373). This bill represents a compromise between business, labor and legislative leaders, and is expected to save business about 840 million. Major provisions include: (1) a reduction in permanent partial disability benefits from 86 and two-thirds percent of gross wages to 80 percent of gross wages; (2) a three-year freeze on the maximum benefit level for permanent partial disability benefits; (3) reducing the in­ terest rate on awards appeals from one percent over prime to the rate on six-month U.S. Treasury Bills; (4) a clean-up of the expedited hearing process on workers' compensation claims. World's Fair (SB 1893). This measure provides funding for the 1992 World's Fair, expansion of McCormick Place in Chicago, and a statewide tourism program. Revenues for these programs will come from a 5 percent statewide tax on the sale of soda pop, a 1 percent increase in the state hotel-motel tax and the use of 40 percent of the funds generated by the current 5 percent hotel-motel tax. Under this proposal, $12 million in new funding will be spent on the statewide tourism program. DuPage toll road (SB 1733). Clears the way for the con­ struction of a toll road through DuPage County.
