| Governor's action
Except in the case of a bill sent to the governor within 10 days of final adjournment,
upon receiving a bill, the governor has 10 days in which to sign the bill, veto it, or
allow it to become law without a signature. If the governor elects to veto the bill and
the legislature is still in session, the bill is returned to the chamber in which it
originated with an explanation of the governor’s objections.
A two-thirds majority in each chamber is required to override the veto. If the governor neither vetoes nor signs
the bill within the allotted time, the bill becomes law. If a bill is sent to the
governor within 10 days of final adjournment, the governor has until 20 days after final
adjournment to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to become law without a signature.
