What occurs if no action is taken on a bill after 45 days of the governor's signature?

When a bill is signed by the governor, it is typically expected to either be enacted or acted upon within a specific timeframe. In the context of New Jersey law, if no action is taken on the bill after 45 days, it automatically becomes law without any further intervention. This process reflects the intention to ensure that legislative proposals are enacted in a timely manner and provides a mechanism to prevent indefinite delay.

This provision allows the bill to remain effective without necessitating continual reapproval by the legislature or further proclamations from the governor, ensuring the state governance can proceed with necessary actions that require funding or law adjustments.
