When a governor vetoes a bill after the legislature has adjourned, the bill typically does not become law. The vetoed bill is usually returned to the legislature, but since they are no longer in session, they cannot override the veto. The bill may be reintroduced in the next legislative session if the sponsors choose to pursue it again. In some states, the governor's veto can be overridden in a subsequent session with a sufficient vote from the legislature.
