Legislation in Illinois undergoes a multi-stage process that starts with introduction in the House or Senate, follows with committee evaluation, continues to floor debate, and requires approval in both chambers before moving to the governor for signature or veto. Working on a biennial basis, the General Assembly hears thousands of bills each session, though only a portion advance through the process and become law.
