Scope and Content Note
This series consists of registers used to track legislative bills sent to the governor from the legislature for approval. For each bill received by the governor, the volumes provide: date received; from Senate or Assembly; bill number (usually the printed bill number); chapter number (if approved); title of bill (beginning in Volume 4, 1868); and date approved, vetoed, or became law without governor's signature upon expiration of ten day veto limitation.
Beginning in 1901 (Volume 32), pasted into the volumes for each bill is the portion of the first page of the printed bill which provides the house (Senate or Assembly), introductory number, by whom introduced, to which committee referred, and title of the bill. Also included in these later volumes is the ten day expiration date for each bill.
