Could the Louisiana Legislature be Heading Towards a Four-Day Veto Session?
Now that Governor Edwards has vetoed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which would prohibit transgender girls and women from participating in female sports, will we see a veto session? Political consultant Lionel Rainey says House Speaker Clay Schexnayder supports a veto session.
“When you have the Speaker of the House come out and immediately make a statement that he’s in favor of a veto override that’s a big, big, big sign,” said Rainey.
The Legislature has never a held veto override session. State lawmakers will receive mail ballots during the first week of July asking whether they want a veto session. Rainey says if one chamber votes against it, the veto session is canceled.
