(CBS) SPRINGFIELD, Ill. In response to a CBS 2 Investigation, Gov. Rod Blagojevich signed legislation Tuesday requiring stricter requirements for reporting by fundraising organizations.

'It’s not only deplorable, it’s despicable,” Gov. Blagojevich said.

The legislation came as a result of 2 Investigator Dave Savini’s series on car donation agencies, in which a salvaging business donated cars on behalf of charities, but kept the vehicles or the profits from the sale. The agency was run by a convicted felon.

“Your program raised an issue that I think most people were unaware of,' Blagojevich said."
