Within five days, if the Legislature is still in session, or twenty days after its adjournment, the Governor may sign the bill or veto all or any section of it. The Legislature can override the veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses. If the Governor fails to act on the bill, it becomes law without a signature.
I hope this takes awhile.. I need to send in some more form 4's before you WA nerds get to flood the ATF.

It is a good thing that she doesn't have to sign, and I don't believe she will. Folks should remember that it was in large part to her actions as State AG that FA, SBS, SBR were outlawed in WA.

Does this mean that a MG legally owned in Washington prior to July 1, 1994 is OK? Sorry, not real good with legalese.
