# Where legislation goes to die: stuck in committee for over a year

**466** items introduced this term have waited in a Chicago City Council committee for more than a year without a vote. A committee's chair decides what goes on its agenda, so an item can sit for years without a hearing. The counts below come from each committee's own record; follow a count to the committee's page, and an item to its record.
