54 bills on the Governor’s desk

Missing a bill? It may be on the Governor’s desk. As of 3 pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2007, there were 54 bills piled up there. The Governor has 10 days to sign bills, with day one being the day after the bill is delivered, and the deadline at midnight at the end of day 10.

The link in the preceding paragraph will be good all session, and is usually no more than a couple of hours behind deliveries of bills.  The Enrolling Office has been delivering bills to the Governor’s office twice per day.

UPDATE 10 pm Wednesday 7/25: it’s now 71 bills pending, with 17 more bills delivered to the Governor Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning and afternoon.

UPDATE 9 pm Thursday 7/26: Yikes, it’s now 82 bills pending, with 11 more bills delivered Thursday afternoon!
