No. In Texas, when a bill passes within 10 days of final adjournment, the Governor has 20 days from the day of final adjournment to sign or veto the bill or it becomes law without his signature. https://www.house.texas.gov/about-us/bill/dru wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 10:20 am by my count, tomorrow is the last day to sign, not sign, or veto HB 1927. I can't find anything about a signing ceremony. TLO indicates abbott's not taking any action. If he signs it becomes law. If he doesn't sign, it still becomes law. If he vetoes, then its done. Either way, the only way this thing doesn't become law is with positive action on the part of Abbott.
So with that said - what's the signing ceremony? I can't find anything online about any announcement or time/place to sign it. most recent news articles are from early june saying that the bill was sent to abbott. Maybe I missed it.
The best I've found is Rachel Malone's post on GOA Texas' Facebook page saying she will have an update tomorrow, Thursday, 7/17/21.RHenriksen wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:39 pm Eric Brakey, a former Maine legislator who'd sponsored Maine's CC bill, posted on FB yesterday (on the Gun Owners of Maine page) that Gov Abbott would be signing the CC bill this Thursday. No link to a corroborating source, though, so take it with a grain or three of salt.
Abbott had/has hundreds of bills to sign from the 87th legislature. Also, it takes time to arrange a suitable location, media coverage, and to ensure the all of the notable folks can attend. Similar to signing the bill that provides for carrying openly, Abbott wants to make a show. Good for him and good for us.dru wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:30 pm > No. In Texas, when a bill passes within 10 days of final adjournment, the Governor has 20 days from the day of final adjournment to sign or veto the bill or it becomes law without his signature. https://www.house.texas.gov/about-us/bill/
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Well either way he's running short on time. I can't imagine he lets this go without taking a victory lap on it. It makes me wonder why he's taking his time with the bill. I know it doesn't change the effective date but geez.....
I had the thought that they may not want to give a lot of notice of a signing ceremony to reduce the risk of leftist loons showing up to protest the bill.oljames3 wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:34 pmAbbott had/has hundreds of bills to sign from the 87th legislature.

I use to think that too. Until they shut down an intersection at the border of Plano and Frisco and got away with it.crazy2medic wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 5:01 pmThing is this ain't Portland, DPS would take great delight in REMOVING Leftest Loons!03Lightningrocks wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 4:34 pmI had the thought that they may not want to give a lot of notice of a signing ceremony to reduce the risk of leftist loons showing up to protest the bill.oljames3 wrote: Wed Jun 16, 2021 2:34 pmAbbott had/has hundreds of bills to sign from the 87th legislature.
