4.034 ENROLLED BILLS.
When the governor signs an enrolled bill to finally enact it into law as provided by the
Constitution, the governor shall note on the enrolled bill the date and time of day of signing. The
governor shall then file the bill with the secretary of state.
When the governor vetoes a bill, the governor shall file a notice with the secretary of state
indicating the chapter number of the vetoed bill.
When the governor neither signs nor vetoes a bill and legislative adjournment does not
prevent its return, then the governor shall file the bill with the secretary of state with a notice that
the governor is allowing the bill to become law without the governor's signature. If legislative
adjournment does prevent its return, then the governor shall file a notice with the secretary of
state indicating that the bill has been pocket vetoed. The notice must identify the enrolled bill by
chapter number. The bill itself must be retained in the records of the governor's office.
