Bills in Illinois must go through a detailed legislative process that begins with their introduction in either chamber, followed by committee scrutiny, floor debate, voting in both legislative bodies, and, ultimately, the governor’s approval or veto. The General Assembly meets biennially and sees thousands of bill introductions each session, though only a limited number ultimately advance into law.
