Signed copies of bills

After the governor signs a bill or concurrent resolution, it is sent to the Statutory Documents Division of the Secretary of State's office, where it is considered "filed" once the Secretary of State signs it. Joint resolutions are not sent to the governor for signing and are filed directly with the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State does not receive simple resolutions.
