I was wondering if the state legislature could override the pocket veto. From https://www.nysenate.gov/how-bill-becomes-law-1 , it depends on the timing of when the bill was submitted to the governor.
The Governor
While the Legislature is in session, the Governor has 10 days (not counting Sundays) to sign or veto bills passed by both houses. Signed bills become law; vetoed bills do not. However, the Governor’s failure to sign or veto a bill within the 10-day period means that it becomes law automatically. Vetoed bills are returned to the house that first passed them, together with a statement of the reason for their disapproval. A vetoed bill can become law if two-thirds of the members of each house vote to override the Governor’s veto.
If a bill is sent to the Governor when the Legislature is out of session, the rules are a bit different. At such times, the Governor has 30 days in which to make a decision, and failure to act (“pocket veto”) has the same effect as a veto.
With a bill as popular as this one appears to be, they could resubmit it next year when the legislature is back in session, and then even if the governor chooses to veto it, they would be able to easily override it.
