Veto override session ballots have been sent out to lawmakers and an override session could possibly begin July 20th.
Should lawmakers elect to return to Baton Rouge for a veto override session it will be the first time they have done so since the current constitution was adopted in the 1970’s.
Some Republican lawmakers recommended those in favor of a veto override session shred their ballots, so they are not mistakenly sent in. Ultimately the public will know which lawmakers send their ballots back in to avoid a return to the Capitol, and which supported the session by not returning a ballot.
Should the session be held lawmakers would have four days to address the 28 different vetoes issued by Governor Edwards this year.
