This will be a work in progress, but here's a link to a flow chart for the progress of a bill through the Legislature:
How a Bill Becomes Law
Here's another link to some Q and A and a simplified flow chart:
House Dem Chart
One correction to be made, on the House Dem Q and A, the last Q/A states:
" 9. New Law: The bill becomes law when the Governor signs it. If a bill is vetoed, it can become law if both chambers of the General Assembly vote by two-third majorities to override the Governoršs veto."
As far as I can determine, that is incorrect. The Constitution states that 3/5 (60%) of each house must concur to override the veto. IL Constitution, Article 4, Section 9, paragraph Š.
If anyone knows differently, please let me know ASAP.

Are you a member of the ISRA?? If not, why not?? Join over 18,000 other Illinois gun owners in the fight for your rights!!!
The Roman Empire fell due to a large, corrupt government, overspending, an overextended military, insecure borders, and the illegal immigration of Goths, barbarians (anyone who was not educated), and religious fanatics. Sound familiar?
