The first week of the annual fall veto
session ended with lawmakers quickly disposing of vetoed measures and then
moving on to address other issues.
These are a few of the items handled -- No Vetoes Overridden
State Sen. Pamela Althoff (R-McHenry)
said that only three measures vetoed by the Governor were on the agenda at the
start of the week – two in the House and one in the Senate. The sponsor of the
vetoed Senate measure – which affected bidding rules at the Regional
Transportation Authority and its operating agencies – elected not seek a vote
on the veto.
In the House, a bill that reduced the
number of free admission days at state supported museums failed to win the
needed three-fifths vote to override the Governor’s veto and the third measure
– which affected advisory questions that townships must place on election
ballots –never received a vote.
Due to constitutional deadlines, all
three proposals died at the end of the week.
