Indiana lawmakers override governor s emergency powers veto

By TOM DAVIESApril 15, 2021 GMT INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana legislators stepped toward a possible court fight with Gov. Eric Holcomb Thursday by voting to override his veto and give themselves more authority to intervene when the state’s chief executive declares an emergency. The Republican-dominated House and Senate easily achieved the simple majorities required to turn aside Holcomb’s objections and enact the provisions into law. The measure establishes a new process under which legislative leaders can call the General Assembly into an emergency session. Holcomb and some legal experts have questioned the legality of that process because the state’s constitution gives the governor not the Legislature the authority to call a special session.

Indiana House Votes To Override Emergency Powers Bill Veto Doug Jaggers/WFYI INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indiana legislators inched towards a possible court fight with Gov. Eric Holcomb Thursday by voting to override his veto and give themselves more authority to intervene during governor-declared emergencies. The Republican-dominated House voted 59-26 to turn aside Holcomb’s objections, sending the matter to the Senate for a final veto-override vote. If a simple majority of senators approve the override, provisions in the bill will immediately be enacted into law. The measure would establish a new process under which legislative leaders can call the General Assembly into an emergency session when it isn’t meeting during its annual legislative session. Holcomb and some legal experts have questioned the legality of that process because the state constitution gives the governor not the Legislature the authority to call a special session.
