Article II, Section 17(c) of the Constitution of Maryland states:

Section 17.

(c) Any Bill presented to the Governor within six days
(Sundays excepted), prior to adjournment of any session of
the General Assembly, or after such adjournment, shall
become law without the Governor's signature unless it is
vetoed by the Governor within 30 days after its presentment.

On April 30, 1989, the Secretary of the Senate and the Chief
Clerk of the House of Delegates formally presented to the
Governor's designee House Bill 1475, Senate Bill 525, and House
Bill 336. Applying by analogy the provisions of Article 94
("Time") of the Annotated Code of Maryland, the Governor had
until midnight May 30, 1989, to sign or veto those pieces of
legislation. Having chosen not to sign the legislation and to
let the provisions of Article II, Section 17(c), determine the
effectiveness of the bills, they became law as of midnight, May
30, 1989.
