Clear rules for governor’s veto delivery

The law sets clear rules for when a governor’s veto is officially delivered. If the house of origin adjourns for the day, the Governor may deliver the bill and veto message to the chief clerk or the senate secretary. It counts as delivered if, on the first day that house meets again, the Governor states the delivery time and who received it. Delivery also counts when either house is in session and the clerk or secretary receives the bill and message with a dated, time-stamped receipt. The act takes effect on passage and approval.
