Momentum is building for Louisiana state lawmakers to do something not seen at the capitol in more than 45 years.
There might be a Special Session in July, to overturn some of the governor’s vetoes.
This is over two of the most controversial bills that came out of the regular legislative session. One dealing with concealed carry changes, the other with transgender athletes.
Yesterday Senate President Page Coretz said he believed that if the administration did ultimately veto the The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act that the members of the Senate would likely proceed with the Constitutionally mandated Veto Override session set to begin on July 20th.
Last week, Speaker of the House Clay Schexnayder said he supported a veto session and he was in favor of overriding the governor’s veto of the Fairness in Women’s sports Act by Senator Beth Mizell.
Another vetoed bill Republicans are not happy with is Senate Bill 118. That bill hoped to allow those 21 and older to carry a concealed carry weapon without a permit.
To override a veto from the governor, you have to get 2/3′s vote in both the upper and lower chambers. That’s 26 of the 39 senators. And 70 of the 105 house members.
That Veto Override Session could begin on July 20.
