SECTION 43-1-4
§ 43-1-4 Return of disapproved measures to originating house. – Whenever the governor returns to either house any measure, which he or she does not approve, he or she shall, if the house is in session, transmit the measure to the presiding officer. But if the house to which the measure is required by law to be returned has adjourned for the day, but not for the session, at the time the governor desires to make the return, then he or she shall deliver the measure, in the case of the senate, to the secretary or clerk, and, in the case of the house of representatives, to the reading or recording clerk. Delivery of the measure to any one of the officers shall constitute a delivery to the house of which he or she is an officer. Any officer receiving any measure shall certify thereon the day and hour of its receipt and shall, at the opening of the next daily session of the house of which he or she is an officer, deliver the measure to the presiding officer.
