In Illinois, legislation advances through a series of procedural steps that begin with its introduction in the House or Senate, followed by committee consideration, debates on the floor, and votes in both chambers, before being forwarded to the governor for a signature or veto. The General Assembly convenes on a biennial basis, with thousands of measures introduced each session and only a small proportion ultimately enacted into law.
