94th Illinois General Assembly
The 94th Illinois General Assembly, consisting of the Illinois Senate and the Illinois House of Representatives, existed from January 12, 2005 to January 9, 2007 during the first two years of Rod Blagojevich's second term as governor. The General Assembly met at the Illinois State Capitol.
During the 94th General Assembly, the Senate was in session for 119 legislative days, and the House was in session for 143 legislative days. There were no special sessions.
All 118 members of the House, and 23 of the 59 members of the Senate, were elected in the 2004 election. The apportionment of seats was based on the 2000 census. Both chambers had a Democratic majority.
The 94th General Assembly was followed by the 95th General Assembly in January 2007.
The 94th General Assembly enacted a total of 1,113 bills into law.
Early in the session, the General Assembly passed an amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The governor signed the amendment into law on January 21, 2005.
Prompted by a series of high-profile dog bite incidents, in 2006 the legislature passed three measures imposing penalties on the owners of dangerous dogs or those involved in dog fighting. Among these was the first law in the country to prohibit certain felons, including those convicted of forcible felonies, from owning dogs that have not been spayed or neutered. The governor signed all three measures into law on May 31, 2006.
The Methamphetamine Precursor Control Act (720 ILCS 648) was signed into law on November 16, 2005, and took effect on January 15, 2006. The MPCA required that people present identification in order to purchase cold medication that contains pseudoephedrine (Sudafed, Tylenol Cold and Claritin D), which could be used to produce methamphetamine.
