Both chambers will reconvene in special sessions tomorrow, 7/8/2021, at 3p. There are three vetoed bills which the legislature AMENDED yesterday to meet the governor’s objections (HB54, SB639, SB807). These amended bills are slated to be voted on tomorrow. If any of them passes by a majority in both chambers, it then goes off to the governor. He will have 10 days (not including weekends and holidays) to sign the amended bill into law. If he DOESN’T sign it in that time, it’s dead, and won’t become law.
