The state Senate would also need to successfully vote to override a veto as well, an action that would require the approval of two-thirds of the members present.

Other rule changes

GOP lawmakers approved a series of other changes to the chamber's rules ranging from the order of the calendar to bringing members back to the floor.

The rule changes related to the calendar allow Assembly and Senate bills to be considered before resolutions, rather than after, a move that Steineke has said prioritizes the relative importance of bills over resolutions and means that members who leave early miss less.

But Anderson last week said changing the order would mean he isn't always able to vote on resolutions rather than bills, "and then it removes my constituents' voice from these proceedings."

The state Senate made a similar change to its calendar in May, according to the Legislative Reference Bureau memo.

Further, the new rules would put restrictions on lawmakers' abilities to withdraw proposals from committee and only let legislators do so during a certain order of business on a certain day in any week.
