Legislation in Illinois proceeds through a multi-step legislative process starting with introduction in either chamber, followed by committee considerations, floor discussions, and final votes in both the House and Senate before moving to the governor for signing or veto. The General Assembly meets biennially, and while thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a small portion become law.
