What is the period within which the Governor must act on any bill passed by the Legislature?

The correct answer is: 5 days

The Governor of Arizona is required to take action on any bill passed by the Legislature within five days. This timeframe is established to ensure that the legislative process remains efficient and that bills are either signed into law or vetoed in a timely manner. If the Governor does not act on the bill within this five-day period, the bill automatically becomes law without the Governor's signature. This system helps maintain a balance of power between the legislative and executive branches and encourages prompt decision-making on legislative matters.
