House to Hold Veto Session Monday

by: Red Baron Friday, July 17th, 2009

House Republicans will be heading back to the Capitol on Monday, July 20th. The Democrat Majority has called a “veto session”, where members of the General Assembly convene to re-consider several bills passed by the Legislature but vetoed by Governor Rell. Some of the bills that may be considered are:

  • HB 6600: The Democrats’ state-run healthcare plan (“SustiNet”)
  • SB 1068: Authorizing the Department of Economic and Community Development to apply for “stimulus” grants to fund green jobs initiatives
  • SB 1162: Requiring consensus revenue estimates in the state budget
  • HB 6582: Establishing the CT Healthcare Partnership (“healthcare pooling”)

By law, veto sessions may last no longer than three days. Legislation can only be passed into law over the Governor’s veto with a “YES” vote of 2/3 of the House and Senate.

Should you wish to know how your Representative will vote on a particular piece of legislation being considered, please call House Republicans at 860-240-8700.

What a powerhouse legislature? Do people know we don’t even need a Governor, the Dem legislature rules the roost.
