CHICAGO (AP) - Embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is still conducting state business despite calls for him to resign and a request before the state Supreme Court to strip him of his powers.
His office released a statement Friday that said he signed a bill that would give insurance coverage to parents of children with autism.
Just hours earlier, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan asked the state Supreme Court to prevent Blagojevich from serving as governor.
He was arrested Tuesday on federal corruption charges, accused of putting President-elect Barack Obama's Senate seat up for sale.
Lawmakers have also demanded that Blagojevich be impeached.
He's defiantly ignored the pressure, showing up for work every day since his arrest.
