What can the legislative branch do if the governor vetoes a bill?

Answer 1

If the Governor vetoes a bill while the Legislature is in session or recess, one of the following actions may occur:

1. The Legislature may override the veto by a two-thirds vote of the members elected to and serving in each house. The bill then becomes law.
2. The bill may not receive the necessary two-thirds vote and thus the attempt to override the veto will fail.
3. The bill may be tabled.
4. The bill may be re-referred to a committee.
