Commission hears that governor received House Bill 2043; 10‑day decision clock now running
Summary
Heather told the commission the governor "just received" House Bill 2043, which begins the governor's decision timeframe; commissioners debated whether the 10‑day clock includes the day of receipt or starts the next day.
Heather (Speaker 3) informed the commission that the governor had received House Bill 2043 that day and described the start of the governor's decision timeframe: "The governor just received the bill today," she said, and noted that while ten calendar days traditionally apply, there is debate over whether the day of receipt counts. "Technically, I don't believe it actually includes the day that she receives the bill," Heather said, adding that worst case the 10‑day period may start the next day.
Commissioners acknowledged the procedural update and said they would wait for the governor's action. No county action or formal resolution on HB 2043 occurred during the meeting; the commission only recorded Heather's procedural update and questions about the timing of the governor's review.
