Eliminate Governor's Pocket Veto Power Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would eliminate the governor's pocket veto power, providing instead that bills automatically become law if the governor does not sign or veto them within the required timeframe. It would also require the governor to provide a written explanation for any veto.
What each outcome does
If approved, bills the governor neither signs nor vetoes within the constitutional time period would automatically become law, and the governor must provide an explanation for any veto.
If rejected, the governor retains the existing pocket veto power, under which a bill can fail simply by not being acted on within the time limit.
