Montana HB539 revises laws on veto override polls, requiring daily vote tallies and specific procedures for the legislature.
Montana HB539 amends the process for veto override polls. If the legislature is not in session, the governor returns the vetoed bill to the secretary of state, who then notifies legislators. The secretary of state conducts a daily tally of votes and publishes the results. If two-thirds of the members vote to override, the bill becomes law. The legislature can reconvene in special session to reconsider vetoed bills. The act takes effect immediately upon passage and approval.
