HB859: "Campus Carry" Bill Introduced by Rep Jasperse

[spencer60]

Or he may veto it.

If he does it looks like the votes are there to override, just like the W. VA legislature supported Constitutional Carry.

Still, everyone should be making a call to the Gov's office until he signs. Bloomberg and his minions win if we just sit by and wait.

One call nothing, 10 calls not much either but a 100 someone takes notice and a thousand or more and operations halt to address the issue.

Don't be a silent majority.

Bloomturds lemmings are wailing at the top of they collective lungs, hopefully that if they are loud enough and whine enough with a complicit media they can sway the legislature.

Georgia's legislative scheduling and rules make it virtually impossible to override a veto in Georgia. it's a procedural issue, doesn't depend oin the number of votes.

I believe in Georgia, the Governor has 6 days to sign it or veto it, since legislature is still in session. If he fails to act with in 6 days, then the bill becomes law. So, technically he could nothing, although, the word is there will be a signing ceremony for it.

Day 9 and...

Any updates on Deal taking action or not? I missed the news segment this morning on the radio about it. Been trying to find out what's up.

I'm guessing the bill went to his desk with the others after the end of the legislative adjournment (Sine die). So, that will give him 40 days from the end of session to decide what he is going to do. After that period, if he hasn't signed or vetoed, it will become law. On the other hand, I've read reports of where it's already on his desk, in that case, we're passed the 6 days statute and it will become law on July 1.....aye, aye, aye..

The governor has 40 to sign or veto a bill from the time it passes both houses and is transmitted to him. If he doesn't sign it or veto it within those 40 days, it becomes law by operation of law.

That's why it is almost impossible for override a veto in Georgia, because inevitably the 40 day period expires after the legislature has adjourned. If the gov. vetoes a bill, it has to be returned to the same legislature that passed it. With this being the last (second) year of a two year session, any bill the governor vetoes will die, and have to be totally re-enacted by the new legislature next year (no overriding the veto). Sort of convoluted, but that's the way it is.

Governors have used this procedure to veto bills that upset the big spenders (banks, power company, liquor distributor) because it lets the legislators look good to the home folks, the gov. doesn't piss off any of the big money, and it will be year before any one will bring the subject up again-- and in the mean time a more pressing (or at least more publicized)issue will come up.

In my lifetime, I vaguely remember one bill (and don't remember the subject matter) where overriding the veto was the first order of business in the next year's legislature.

I have no idea where the 6 days came from.

Again, it's been a long term custom for the governor to let all the bills get passed and sit on his desk past the end of the legislative session, and then he has all of the departments review them. He vetoes dozens on technical grounds and you never hear about the bills or the reason he vetoes them.
