Art. III, Sec. V, Para. XI. Signature of Governor.
Current through: Including Acts of the 2025 Regular Session of the General Assembly.
A constitution provision shown as in force is in force as printed in the volume. A court decision can make a printed provision unenforceable without changing the volume, and the volume does not record that.
No provision in this Constitution for a two-thirds’ vote of both houses of the General Assembly shall be construed to waive the necessity for the signature of the Governor as in any other case, except in the case of the two-thirds’ vote required to override the veto or to submit proposed constitutional amendments or a proposal for a new Constitution.
