The 95th Illinois General Assembly, consisting of the Illinois Senate and the Illinois House of Representatives, existed from January 10, 2007 to January 13, 2009 during the final two years of Rod Blagojevich's governorship. The General Assembly met at Illinois State Capitol. During the 95th General Assembly, the Illinois Senate was in session for 183 legislative days, and the Illinois House was in session for 302 legislative days. The governor called the General Assembly into special session 26 times, the most in Illinois history. All 118 members of the House, and 38 of the 59 members of the Senate, were elected in the 2006 election. The apportionment of seats was based on the 2000 census. Both chambers had a Democratic majority. The 95th General Assembly was succeeded by the 96th General Assembly in January 2009. Legislation The 95th General Assembly enacted a total of 1,056 bills into law. The General Assembly passed the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) unanimously in 2008. BIPA imposes strict requirements on companies that do business in Illinois and also collect or store biometric information. When it was enacted, BIPA was the first law in the United States regulating the use of biometric information. BIPA provides a private right of action for people who have been harmed by violations of the law. Governor Blagojevich signed BIPA into law on October 3, 2008. The General Assembly also passed the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act, which requires hospitals in Illinois to give most uninsured patients a discount on their medical bills. The Act also requires hospitals to include information on their bills about how to apply for the discount. The General Assembly also passed the Smoke Free Illinois Act (), a comprehensive anti-smoking law. The Act bans smoking inside most buildings and vehicles used by the general public, used as a place of employment, or owned by the government or other public body. It also requires "no-smoking" signs, bans smoking within of openings in the targeted buildings and requires at least 75% of rooms in each hotel to be non-smoking. The governor signed the Act into law on July 23, 2007. The Act's passage was the product of a year-long campaign by the Illinois Coalition Against Tobacco. Illinois was the 19th state to adopt a smoking ban of this type. Impeachment Near the end of the 95th General Assembly, on December 9, 2008, Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested
