FRIDAY .JANUARY 18.1985 : Sen. Schaffer opposes mandatory seat belt law Dozens of new proposals are before the legislature Tlie state's new mandatory seat belt law, which takes effect July 1, is not without opposition a local legislator is leading the push to repeal it. State Sen. Jack Schaffer, R- Cary, announced he is co- sponsoring legislation with Sen. Judy Topinka, R-Berwyn, to eliminate the new law. "I honestly believe that each of us should use seat belts and that the increased use of seat belts would save lives and in­ jury," Schaffer said. "However, I believe the legislation that was just signed into law if an in­ vasion of privacy for every Illinois citizen in an area where government has no business." Schaffer said the main proponents of the new law were the automobile manufacturers who sought to avoid a federal mandate for putting air bags in new cars after 1969 (which happens unless a specific number of states pass seat belt legislation). "I believe there is a reasonable alternative to both the mandatory seat belt legislation and the federal air bag requirement," Schaffer said. The senator would leave it to the insurance companies to give discounts to people who use seat belts or own cars with air bags. - 4<i believe using seat belts or paying the extra money for an air bag safety system should be an individual choice. Those people who use seat belts or pay extra for the air bag systems should be rewarded and those who choose not to should not get the reduced rates," Schaffer said. "The important thing is that it should be a right of the individual to make that kind of decision." New legislation provides for review of disability cases People who lost their disability benefits between May, 1981, and the present can now ask for a review of their cases, according to state Rep. Richard Klemm, R-Crystal Lake. The reviews, conducted by the Department of Rehabilitation Services, stem from the set­ tlement of a federal class action suit, plus a new federal law. Under the new law, no person can be dropped from disability payment rolls unless that person's health has improved. Previously, some recipients lost benefits because of changed definitions of "medical disability" or other reasons unrelated to actual medical improvement. Klemm urged those who lost benefits between May, 1981, and the present, whose benefit loss was unrelated to actual im­ provement in their medical condition to contact their local district Social Security office to file for a case review. In­ dividuals should ask to file Social Security Administration form 795. Qualified individuals should also file to have benefit payments reinstated. It is estimated that 23,000 state residents may qualify for a review of their cases. A toll-free hotline has been established to answer questions. Call (800) 637-8856 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for more information. With the legislature having started a new two-year session Jan. lawmakers have already drafted and prepared for im­ mediate introduction dozens of proposals, according to Rep. Richard Klemm, R-Crystal Lake. Among the proposals scheduled for formal _ in­ troduction are the following: Safety Belts (HB 1). Requires all new school buses to be equipped with passenger seat belts. A Similar measure was defeated last year. Commerce Commission (HB 4). Prohibits employees of the Illinois Commerce Commission from going to work for utilities regulated by the commission. The ban would apply for one year after the ICC employee leaves the commerce com­ mission. A similar ban is already in effect for ICC members. Police Unions (HB 7). Grants collective bargaining rights to police officers. Leaded Gasoline (HB 16). Prohibits the sale of leaded motor fuels in Illinois. Utility taxes (HB 18). Ties the tax (Hi utilities to volume rather than price. Currently, taxes are based on the price of electricity or gas. If the price increases, so does the tax. even if the con­ sumer is not using more power. Under this plan, a rise in price would not automatically in­ crease the tax. Drunken Driving (HB 19). In cases involving reckless homicide, the charge usually filed against drunken drivers who kill, proof of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs would also be proof of recklessness. This would make it easier to convict drivers of reckless homicide since prosecutors would not have to demonstrate that a driver was both drunk and reckless. In-home Care (HB 27). Creates a demonstration project to encourage families to provide in-home care for chronically mentally ill and retarded family members. Hie project sponsors claim it would be less costly than institutionalization. Service Stations (HB 29). Requires service stations with eight or more fuel pumps to provide an air compressor for public use in filling tires. School Strikes (HB 30). Requires binding arbitratftflf in any school strike that delays school for more than 10 days. No Smoking (HB 33). Bans smoking in public buildings and public areas of private buildings, except in specifically designated smoking areas. Schaffer to head caucus State Sen. Jack Schaffer, R- Cary, was appointed Republican caucus chairman during the opening session of the 84th ,5K1 General Assembly in Springfield. "As a member of the senate Republican leadership and caucus chairman, I believe I will in a better position to represent the people of my district," Schaffer said. "I am particularly interested in seeing the legislature reform the current Illinois school aid for­ mula and I believe this may be a good year to move forward on that important reform." Schaffer recently served as GOP spokesman on the Ap­ propriations II committee, chairman of the State Com­ mission on Mental Health, chairman of the Toll Highway Authority Advisory Committee, and secretary of the Economic and Fiscal Commission of the Illinois General Assembly.
