Legislation in Illinois proceeds through a multi-stage process that starts in either chamber, advances to committee discussion, floor consideration, and voting in both the House and Senate, before the governor signs or vetoes. The General Assembly meets on a two-year cycle, during which many bills are introduced each session, though far fewer ultimately become law.
