1

able to override a veto? Do you like this whole concept

z

of the veto? Would you keep it? If so, would it be

3

three-fifths, larger or smaller?

4

SENATOR HUGHES: I would keep it, but I think

5

there should be some method of making this requirement

6

uniform for overriding the veto, for emergency matters.

7

for extending the rules. Some of it is two-thirds and

8

some three-fifths. I, think it should be uniform.

9

DELEGATE HANDEL: I would change the provision

10

if the Governor doesn't sign a bill in a certain period

11

of time, the bill is automatically vetoed, I think it

12

ought to be automatically law, if he doesn't sign it.

13

I think it should become law and not vetoed.

14

THE CHAIRMAN: You eliminate the pocket veto?

15

DELEGATE HANDEL: Yes. I would say it becomes

16

law unless he vetoes it.

17

SENATOR JAMES: I'd give him thirty days after

18

the legislation, because the volume of legislation that

19

he's got on his desk is tremendous.

20

THE CHAIRMAN: You would give him thirty days?

21

DELEGATE HANDEL: At least.
