The court accepted an appeal by Democratic lawmakers who are attempting to overturn lower court decisions against them. The lower courts held that the bills were improperly enacted and could not become law. The supreme court's decision means only that the court will hear the appeal.

A final decision on the merits of the case will not be made until both written and oral arguments are considered by the court. THE CASE goes back to the beginning of this year when the newly-elected Democratic General Assembly approved six bills in the week before James Rhodes was sworn in as governor. The Democrats, fearing that the then-Republican lieutenant governor would delay signing the bills a step which is usually taken before bills are sent to the governor for his approval sent the six bills directly to Gov. John Gilligan. The Republicans have contended that without the lieutenant governor's signature the bills do not meet constitutional standards for passage.

Democrats maintain that the lieutenant governor's signature is a mere formality and is not a requirement for a bill's validity.
