How long does the Governor have to act on bills that are presented to his office?
During the legislative session, the Governor may “approve” or “veto” a bill within five days (excluding Sundays) or may refuse to sign it and allow the bill to become law “without approval” after the five-day period has elapsed. A bill may become law regardless of the Governor’s veto if it is passed by 2/3 majority of each house.
