From what I can tell, it MUST be presented.20 days, see post #31. My memory was off.
If they dont present it, hell has frozen over. It will get presented.
According to this: the special session to elect the speaker would be May 1. Hogan has not decided to call one.

Hogan probably will call it after the funeral and after some reasonable certainty of the vote tally and who will win.
All passed bills, except the budget bill and constitutional amendments, must be presented to the Governor within twenty days following adjournment of a session. The Governor may veto such bills within thirty days after presentation. If a passed bill is not vetoed, it becomes law. The budget bill, however, becomes law upon its final passage and cannot be vetoed. Constitutional amendments also cannot be vetoed; they become law only upon their ratification by the voters at the next general election.
