Bills in Illinois advance through a multi-stage legislative process, beginning with introduction in the House or Senate, followed by committee evaluation, floor debate, and votes in both chambers before they are sent to the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly functions on a biennial timeline, and only a small number of the thousands of bills introduced each session ultimately become law.
