Chicago Democrat Sen. John A. D'Arco faced a delayed floor vote as Senate President Philip J. Rock interrupted the session for an emergency call. D'Arco described a bill to require bold notices on petition pages about forgery as a crime, while Sen. Mark Q. Rhoads said the measure had been altered to require petition circulators and signers to be registered voters in the district. The episode ended with humor as the bill was not brought up.
