The legislature must act in some way, must it not? If they do nothing, isn't Quinn's version of the bill left standing?

The sponsor of the bill controls the fate of the bill somewhat. In this case Representative Phelps has called for an over-ride vote. So it must be voted on now.
The sponsor also has the power to pull the bill, so if the legislature does not over-ride the veto, the sponsor can pull the vetoed bill and Illinois is back to not having any law to replace IL UUW.
I believe the stay of mandate expires on July 9th, but the IL AG can file for cert anytime up to midnight July 22.
