Chapters 2005 First Special Session
Explanation of Chapter Listing
Bills passed by both houses are sent to the Revisor of Statutes office for engrossing and enrolling or simply engrossing. The Revisor's office enrolls each bill and gives it a chapter number in sequential order. The bill is then presented by the Revisor's
office to the Governor. Once the governor has acted on a bill either favorably or unfavorably, or decides to neither sign nor veto a bill but to allow the bill to become law without his signature, the bill is transferred to the Secretary of State's office where it is officially
filed as law.
Bills are presented in sequential order by Chapter number.
File with * indicates bill sent to the Governor.
Presented to Governor entry is the official presentment date by the Revisor of Statutes.
Vetoes and Line items vetoes are noted.
Secretary of State entry is the date a bill transmitted from the Governor's office to the Secretary of State for filing.
