Oklahoma Senate Overrides Govenor Stitt's Veto

 

 It's a first for this legislative session, as the Oklahoma State Senate has voted to override Governor Kevin Stitt's veto on the Oklahoma Survivors Act. 

 Sen. Bill Coleman of Ponca City made the announcement. 

The law allows domestic violence victims found guilty of a crime to enter evidence of abuse at sentencing to get a shorter sentence. It would also allow for resentencing for domestic violence survivors whose victimization played a significant factor in their defense. In his veto, Governor Stitt stated that he is committed to justice reform but called this bill “bad policy.”
