The 2009 Legislative Session Concluded April 26, in time for the legislature to send 2009-11 operating and capital budgets and nearly 600 bills to the governor. During the 2009 session, lawmakers introduced 2,584 bills and approved 599. The governor has until May 19 to sign bills approved by the legislature. Bills that the governor does not veto within 20 days of the end of session become law without her signature. She may veto portions of bills, but nothing smaller than a full section.
