The North Carolina General Assembly of 2005–06 was the legislature that was elected on November 2, 2004 by voters in North Carolina. Members of the House of Representatives and Senate met in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2005 and 2006. These were the first elections for the state legislature under a new redistricting plan approved in 2003. This General Assembly will perhaps be best remembered as the assembly that approved North Carolina's first state lottery. It also approved new ethics laws for government officials and increased the state's minimum wage.
