Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 45-304a
- Enrolled bill: The final copy of a bill or joint resolution which has passed both chambers in identical form. It is printed on parchment paper, signed by appropriate officials, and submitted to the President/Governor for signature.
- Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
Whenever the governor shall veto a bill and such bill is to be referred to in the journal of the house of representatives or the journal of the senate, it shall be sufficient to refer to the same by its house or senate bill number, except that the entries which report veto messages shall carry the entire title of the enrolled bill. In no case shall the full text of a bill be entered in the journal of either the house or the senate.
