The California legislature has passed AB 316, which bans requires self-driving trucks to have a safety driver for five years. Governor Gavin Newsom has the opportunity to allow the bill to become law, or to veto it, by October 14.

Did a bit of searching, apparently legislature has 60 non-joint recess days to override any veto. The legislature is on recess right now and (assuming no special sessions) will reconvene on Wednesday, January 3, and will have until March 3 to override any vetos in the last batch.

@MingweiSamuel Given the wording of the question "becomes law in 2023", the most correct strategy is to wait to see if legislature is doing any special session (I assume no) and then close after December 31
@MCMillennium For you as the resolver, yeah. There's zero chance of that happening AFAIK, as only Governor Newsom can call a special session and he chooses what specific issues can be covered. I'd bet more on no but 4% isn't a good enough margin for EOY
Veto official.

Does anyone know the deadline for the legislature to override a veto? Is it still October 14?
Newsom vetos AB316 as expected, legislature has the votes to override his veto (IIRC) if they so choose but a veto has not been overridden since 1980
