Checks, balances, and the process of overriding vetoes
Rep. Marianne Proctor (District 60)
[A] duty of the legislature is overriding the governor’s vetoes on legislation that has passed both chambers of the legislative branch. To override a veto, a vote from a simple majority of members in both the House and Senate must be cast. This means that 51 members of the House and 20 members of the Senate must vote in the affirmative. From there, the legislation is given to the Secretary of State to be enrolled in our statutes.
Lawmakers override vetoes
Rep. Marianne Proctor (District 60)
Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed a historic number of measures during his tenure. The legislature carefully considered each veto and overrode almost all of them.
