Legislation in Illinois follows a multi-step process involving introduction in either chamber, evaluation by committees, floor discussion, voting in both the House and Senate, and eventual review by the governor for either approval or veto. The General Assembly convenes biennially, and while thousands of proposals are introduced each session, only a small proportion advance to become law.
