Ijust checked the list of bills signed and vetoed on theGeneral Assembly's website, and it appears Gov. Perdue still hasyet to acton HB 89.Maybe some of you who have been fighting this battle longer than I have can answer a question for me. What happens if Gov. Perdue doesn't act on HB 89 at all? Is there a time limit for it to become a law without his signature, like the 10 days the president has to act on a bill from Congress? Could it die on his desk if he doesn't sign it? How does that work?
I'm getting really worried about this now. It was my understanding that the only objection Gov. Perdue had to HB 89 was the language removing churches from the list of off limits places and that the governor's objection to that portion of the bill was one of the reasonsit was removed from the bill. Final passagein the General Assembly of what came out of the conference committeewas on 4 April. It's now 28 April and the governor has not acted on this yet.
