State legislature overrides dozens of bills vetoed by Governor Stitt [Video]

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — The Oklahoma Legislature overrode vetoes on dozens of bills during its legislative session May 29.

The vetoes from Governor Stitt were on nearly 50 bills covering a variety of issues, from medical funding to property tax to political corruption.

To override a veto from the governor, two-thirds of representatives and senators must vote in favor of the measure or three-quarters if the measure contains an emergency provision. The dozens of overrides ranged from measures that aimed to increase public access to open records to missing and murdered indigenous people.

Some legislators shared their thoughts on the session on social media, justifying the number of overrides.

Below is a partial list of some of the vetoed bills overriden by legislators:

House Bill 1137 – Creating a dedicated unit within the OSBI to address missing and murdered Indigenous persons.
