Rep. Lloyd Larsen, R-Lander, of the House Appropriations Committee, said the committee would meet Wednesday morning to decide which vetoes the body will attempt to override by two-thirds vote. Once those bills are selected, the House could then adjourn sine die — meaning closing business with no set deadline on when they return — and vote next Monday.

This action has traditionally been used sparingly, Harshman said. However, the House of Representatives has carried out a veto override 23 times before.

“That is a legislative power we do not take lightly, but at times, we have used it,” Harshman told the House. “Really, our next opportunity for a veto override would be next Monday.”

This timeline is made even more complicated by the fact the House of Representatives is already two days behind schedule, having missed a key voting deadline for bills Monday, leaving them one additional working day to take a final vote on nine bills.

While constituting only about 1 percent of the state’s overall spending this session, the supplemental budget has been the source of an unusual amount of strife this legislative session, with the Senate and House of Representatives largely divergent on what the budget should do.
