The North Carolina legislature meets annually from mid-May to July. During the session, the governor must sign or veto legislation within 10 days after transmittal or it becomes law without signature. If the legislature adjourns for more than 30 days, the governor must act within 30 days after adjournment or the legislation becomes law without signature. If the governor vetoes legislation after adjournment, the governor must reconvene the session or the legislation becomes law despite veto on the 40th day after session adjournment.
