Revise process for governor's veto receipt and delivery to the legislature
SB 344 revises the process for how a governor's vetoed bill and message are officially delivered to the legislature when it is in session. The bill specifies that delivery must be made to either the chief clerk of the house or the secretary of the senate. Delivery is considered complete when these officials physically receive the bill and message, and a time-stamped, dated receipt is attached. This change aims to clarify and formalize the record of veto receipt for legislative action.

The bill text shows minor formatting and punctuation adjustments rather than substantive policy changes. The main differences involve the removal of certain line breaks and the deletion of a period at the end of the effective date clause in one section, while keeping the core legislative language intact.
TECHNICAL
Removed line breaks and formatting artifacts at the end of the document.
Removed a period at the end of the effective date clause in one section, though the meaning remains unchanged.
