The following is an excerpt direct from the Calif Gov. web page at
http://www.sen.ca.gov/www/leginfo/bill2law.htm
< snip >
The Governor has 12 days to sign, approve without signing, or veto a bill.
A letter or phone call to the Governor's Office is appropriate to state
your position on the bill.
If the bill is signed or approved without a signature, it goes to the
Secretary of State to be chaptered. If the governor vetoes the bill, a
two-thirds vote in each house is needed to override the veto. The
Governor's office releases veto messages which explain the veto; these
messages are available from the Governor's Office and on the Internet.

That's what I was going by, and I hope it's true. Unless I'm missing
something (entirely possible), it would mean that whether he signs it or
not, it's law unless he vetoes it -
