SPRINGFIELD - When Speaker Michael Madigan summoned the Illinois House back to work Wednesday, lawmakers thought they would deal with only two issues. One was an $850 million supplemental appropriation for the state's Medicaid program aimed at capturing an extra $25 million in reimbursements from Uncle Sam. The other involved relaxing election deadlines so President Bush could be on the November ballot.

The appropriation was duly authorized, and the Bush ballot question advanced a step toward resolution. But the House also put in a full day's work by forwarding bills on to Gov. Rod Blagojevich that involved college tuition tax credits, tougher penalties for impaired drivers or those whose licenses have been suspended or revoked, and setting up an identity theft panel.

A wide-ranging raft of other legislation sent to Blagojevich for his consideration included:

n House Bill 5197, which provides that a mortgage provider must act in good faith in all relations with a bor-rower, and may not employ fraudulent or deceptive acts or practices in the making of a reverse mortgage loan, including deceptive marketing and sales efforts.

n HB 5207, which designates the first Sunday after Labor Day of each year as Great-Grandparents Day.

n HB4777, which permits the grandparent of the victim of a violent crime to present a victim impact state-ment, gives the court discretion to determine the number of oral presentations of victim impact statements, and provides that any written victim impact statement submitted to the state's attorney shall be taken into account by the court during its consideration of aggravation and mitigation in plea proceedings.

n *HB 5014, which provides that if a county assessor revises an assessment after the complete assessment list is published, then he or she must publish a subsequent list of all the revised assessments for that year.

n HB 6618, which amends the Child Labor Law to permit an adult designated by the parent or guardian to accompany a 12- or 13-year-old minor who is officiating youth sports activities for a not-for-profit youth club, park district, or municipal parks and recreation department.

n HB 6706, which creates the Family Caregiver Act encouraging family members to provide care for their elderly family members. The measure would require the state Department of Human Services to contract with area agencies on aging and other appropriate agencies to provide family caregiver support services to the extent of available funding. It also provides that the services include counseling, training and respite care and that the DHS seek federal funding for a demonstration project.

n HB 6786, which imposes new conditions of parole or mandatory supervised release imposed upon sex of-fenders. It also allows a sex offender to be electronically monitored for a minimum of 12 months from the date of release, and requires the offender to reside only at a Department of Corrections approved location.
