Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 45-304b
- Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- 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.
The governor may veto any bill or item of appropriation within the time specified in the constitution, whether the legislature has adjourned or not. Whenever the legislature adjourns sooner than the time when the governor may return any bill to its house of origin with his or her veto message thereof or an item of appropriation thereof, the concurrent resolution of adjournment shall fix a time for reconvening appropriate to permit reconsideration of any such bill or item of appropriation in case the same may be vetoed.
