Urgency Statute or Legislation: It is a measure which includes an “urgency clause” requiring it to take effect instantly on the signing of the measure by the Governor and the filing of the signed bill with the Secretary of State. The Urgency statutes are usually those considered essential for instant preservation of the public peace, safety and health, and such measures need approval by a 2/3 vote of the Legislature, instead of a majority. Though, the Budget Bill and other bills giving for appropriations associated to the Budget Bill might be passed by a majority vote to take effect instantly on being signed by the Governor or on a date specified in the legislation.
