Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

> No. In Texas, when a bill passes within 10 days of final adjournment, the Governor has 20 days from the day of final adjournment to sign or veto the bill or it becomes law without his signature. https://www.house.texas.gov/about-us/bill/

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Well either way he's running short on time. I can't imagine he lets this go without taking a victory lap on it. It makes me wonder why he's taking his time with the bill. I know it doesn't change the effective date but geez.....

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

by my count, tomorrow is the last day to sign, not sign, or veto HB 1927. I can't find anything about a signing ceremony. TLO indicates abbott's not taking any action. If he signs it becomes law. If he doesn't sign, it still becomes law. If he vetoes, then its done. Either way, the only way this thing doesn't become law is with positive action on the part of Abbott.

So with that said - what's the signing ceremony? I can't find anything online about any announcement or time/place to sign it. most recent news articles are from early june saying that the bill was sent to abbott. Maybe I missed it.
