Oklahoma Legislature Overrides Several Governor Vetoes, Will Return For Special Session In June

KOSU:

On Thursday, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt vetoed parts of the $9.8 billion state budget, and called for a special session of the legislature to address eliminating the state grocery tax and reducing the personal income tax.

Under Oklahoma’s constitution, the legislature must adjourn by 5 p.m. on the last Friday of May, which was the following day.

So, the state legislature moved quickly on Friday, expressing their displeasure with Stitt’s criticisms and overriding several vetoes.
