Part VI · Legislative Procedure

Article 201 Bills reserved for consideration.

This article covers reserved Bills. When a Governor reserves a Bill, the President declares assent or withholds it. The President may also direct the Governor to return the Bill to the legislature for reconsideration. If the legislature passes it again, it goes back to the President. Reserved Bills are the Union's window into State legislation.

1. When a Bill is reserved by a Governor for the consideration of the President, the President shall declare either that he assents to the Bill or that he withholds assent therefrom: Provided that, where the Bill is not a Money Bill, the President may direct the Governor to return the Bill to the House or, as the case may be, the Houses of the Legislature of the State together with such a message as is mentioned in the first proviso to article 200 and, when a Bill is so returned, the House or Houses shall reconsider it accordingly within a period of six months from the date of receipt of such message and, if it is again passed by the House or Houses with or without amendment, it shall be presented again to the President for his consideration.
