The State Senate met on September 7th for a brief "veto day" session. They voted on 5 Senate bills which had been vetoed by the Governor. 3 vetoes were overridden, 2 were sustained.
The House voted on 2 of those 3 overridden vetoes on September 14th. The veto on SB 88 (the "Ward Bird Bill") was also overridden in the House. SB 57's (a title loan bill's) veto was not voted on at all on September 14th. SB 3's (a retirement system bill's) veto was tabled, which was a constitutionally dubious move- but this is not the shenanigan which I am complaining about.
The Senate suspended its rules to pass SB 198, which makes a technical change to the welfare laws, bringing them into line with federal Social Security Law. It will reportedly save the state $2 million a month if passed.
