Illinois bills progress through a multi-step legislative process that starts with introduction in either chamber, continues through committee hearings and floor debates, and requires votes in both the House and Senate before being presented to the governor. The General Assembly meets on a biennial schedule, and while many bills are introduced each session, only a relatively small number are ultimately enacted.
