Bills signed into law
Bills become law without the Governor's signature if they aren't signed within 10 days of being sent to the Governor's desk. A veto can be overriden by a two-thirds vote of each legislative chamber. After the Legislature adjourns, veto override votes are conducted by mail. Referendum bills that will put ballot measures before Montana voters, which don't require gubernatorial approval, aren't included here.
