>While the Legislature is in session, the Governor has 10 days (not counting Sundays) to sign or veto bills passed by both houses. Signed bills become law; vetoed bills do not. However, the Governor's failure to sign or veto a bill within the 10-day period means that it becomes law automatically.
- nier 4y ago> She was waiting a whole year to sign the bill and at the end decided add loopholes which made the bill worse than useless. So what’s with this 10 day timeframe? I’m confused. So, technically, they haven’t been waiting a year and vetoed the bill right away?
- LegitShady 4y agomost likely there was some shenanigans within the legislature to hide exactly who did what, which shouldn't be possible given freedom of information rules, but if it was vetoed that would leave a record that doesn't exist. Most likely it was never officially submitted until after changes occurred.
