Terms Used In Kansas Statutes 45-308
- 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.
- State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories. See Kansas Statutes 77-201
- 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.
Upon approval of any item or items as provided in Kan. Stat. Ann. § 45-307, the secretary of the senate or the chief clerk of the house of representatives shall prepare a certificate to accompany the enrolled bill in which such item or items occur. Such certificate shall state that the item or items in the enrolled bill have been approved and passed as provided by law by both the senate and the house of representatives after reconsideration and notwithstanding the veto of the governor. Such certificate shall be signed by the secretary and president of the senate and the chief clerk and speaker of the house of representatives. Thereupon the chief clerk of the house of representatives or the secretary of the senate shall deliver such enrolled bill, together with such certificate to the secretary of state.
