The bill takes effect upon enactment.

The legislative process in Illinois involves a multi-step system including bill introduction, committee consideration, floor debate, and votes in both the House and Senate. The governor then has final approval or veto power. The General Assembly meets biennially, with thousands of bills introduced each term though only a limited number ultimately become law.
