Gov. Eric Holcomb has vetoed a bill that aims to rein in his emergency powers, fulfilling his promise to nix what he called unconstitutional legislation.
In a letter to Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston, Holcomb announced his decision and questioned what he called the “central part” of House Bill 1123 that would allow the General Assembly to call itself into a 40-day session during an emergency.
The Indiana Constitution, Holcomb argues, gives that power exclusively to the governor.
If lawmakers were called into the special session, they could terminate any emergency order enacted by the governor. Holcomb has required masks, closed businesses and limited their capacities during the COVID-19 pandemic through the state’s disaster emergency order.
