Burgum vetoes bill that would let lawmakers act earlier

Burgum vetoes bill that would let lawmakers act earlier By JAMES MacPHERSONApril 1, 2021 GMT BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) Gov. Doug Burgum vetoed a bill Thursday that would allow the Legislature to meet and act on legislation shortly before a session starts in January. Burgum, a Republican, explained that that he thinks the bill is an attempt to circumvent the state constitution and “could have serious consequences” if it became law, including by allowing outgoing governors to sign legislation before new ones have the chance to consider it. The bill received broad support in both Republican-led legislative chambers, with a 57-36 vote in the House and a 41-6 vote in the Senate. But it wasn’t clear if it could get the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto, including at least 62 votes in the House. The leaders of both chambers, House Majority Leader Chet Pollert and Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, voted against it and said they would urge colleagues to sustain the veto
