This is quoted from Kyle Conrad's post a day or two ago regarding the likely
scenario for the cemetery laws.
< "Once this final version is passed in
<both chambers, it goes to the governor for his signature. If he doesn't sign
<it within so many days (7 or 10 I think) it becomes law anyway. Only if he
<vetoes the legislation does it go back to the general assembly for override."
I have been under the impression that the governor can stop a bill other
than by veto. I used to work with a lawyer who did lobbying. It seems to me
I remember an occasion where a bill was stopped on the governor's desk. I
have been looking unsuccessfully (if it is there someone please tell me) on
the General Assembly page for the process of a bill into law to anwswer
questions such as Kyle so aptly explained.
It appears as if the governor might be with us on the cemeteries. But it
can't hurt to let him know our interests as well as our representatives.
