Session Wrap-Up, Vetoes, and HB 2100
The legislature returned Wednesday where they must proceed to pass an omnibus budget and a school finance bill to meet their constitutional obligations.
Since adjournment, Governor Kelly vetoed several pieces of policy which both the House and Senate will consider this week for veto overrides.
The Climate + Energy Project was closely tracking the ESG Bill, HB 2100. The Governor did NOT veto the bill, nor did she sign it. It will become law without her signature, per announcement by her office on Monday.
While it’s too soon to determine if it’s a possibility, leadership intends to finish the session by early Saturday morning.
Thank you for your engagement, comments and advocacy during this legislative session!
