"(JURIST) The Illinois General Assembly (official website http://www.ilga.gov /) Tuesday passed a bill that would require state protection from discrimination based on sexual orientation. The (Illinois) House gave its approval on the last possible day by a vote of 65-51; the (Illinois) Senate had approved the bill 30-27 on Monday. The bill (http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/93/SB/PDF/09300SB0101lv... PDF text, Adobe Reader required) now goes to Governor Rod Blagojevich (official website http://www.illinois.gov/gov /), a proponent of the measure, for final signature. Fourteen other states have enacted similar laws. AP has more (at http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&nci... )."
