Exactly what happens depends on state law. In all states, if the legislature stays in session and the governor neither signs not vetoes a bill, it becomes law after a certain number of days. If the legislature adjourns before the governor has the allotted time to consider the bill, it may or may not become law, depending on the state. The related link gives the state by state details.
