Here’s a new term for the Annapolis dictionary: a presentment bill.

The Maryland Constitution requires that a bill passed by the General Assembly be presented to the Governor.

It must be taken from the clerk’s office on the first floor of the State House and presented to the staff of the Governor on the second floor.

If a bill is presented with a certain number of days left in the 90-day legislative session and the Governor decides to veto the bill, he must do so while we are still in session.

The legislature can override the veto before the session ends, this year on April 11.

Thus, a bill that we believe Governor Hogan might veto is considered a presentment bill.

April 1 is the last day for such a bill to pass the legislature and be presented to the Governor.
