If Hogan's veto of these bills that passed the MGA in 2020 is overridden in the 2021 session does the law become effective immediately upon override or does it get a new effective date in 2021?
2020 HB-4/SB-208, Rifles & Shotguns, Secondary Transactions

I believe it goes into effect as soon as the veto is overridden.
Yup. Immediate effect.
Have they taken up last year's vetos yet?

Good thing I plan to ignore it or I'd be concerned
Thanks for posting with an accurate thread title. This is being discussed here in detail as of yesterday: https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=253348
Or the date on the bill, whichever is later, so it would take affect Oct 1.

But the date on the bill would be Oct 1 2020 right? So 30 days after passage is later? Or does it not include year?
Year doesn't matter.

So the effective date of the bill when it was passed by both houses was Oct. 1, 2020. Under Article II Cl. 17 of the MD constitution, a veto that is overridden means that the bill goes into effect in 30 days or the date the bill was originally set to go into effect, whichever is later. If the House overrides on Thursday (duh), HB 4 will go into effect after 30 days, as that date is later than Oct. 1, 2020.

So if a member here was going to sell a CMP Garand and Belgian Auto Five do it soon?

That would be sensible advice.
Sensible advice, but if you and the buyer both have an FFL-03, you are exempt from the bill for sales of C&R long guns.
As long as you swap C&R license copies, AFAIK.

Fortunately, I anticipated this 'unfortunate' event, so late last year I sold several of my long guns to some very nice mdshooters members.
