Out of 3,523 bills introduced this session, 251 bills successfully passed the Legislature. 

Those bills that passed face a final judgment before they are signed into law: an approval or a veto by the governor.  

If the governor intends to veto a bill, the governor is required to notify the Legislature of her intent to veto a bill by Tuesday, June 30 or the 35th day after adjournment. 

The vetoed measures must then be transmitted to the Legislature Wednesday, July 15, the 45th day after adjournment. 

Any bill that is signed by the governor or without a signature thereafter becomes law.

The legislature must call a special session to override a bill that has been vetoed and can do so at or before noon on the 45th day.
