Terms Used In Indiana Code 1-1-3.1-2
- 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.
Sec. 2. For purposes of this chapter, “approval of the act” occurs at the time the second house of the general assembly votes to approve a bill over the governor’s veto under Article 5, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana. “Second house of the general assembly” refers to the house of the general assembly that reconsiders a bill vetoed by the governor under Article 5, Section 14 of the Constitution of the State of Indiana after the house in which the bill originated has passed the bill over the governor’s veto.
