The Kansas legislature recovenes today for what it calls its "veto session."

 

Starting late Monday morning, the House and Senate will vote on whether to override bills previously vetoed by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. To do so, the bill must pass in both the House and Senate again, this time with a two-thirds majority.

 

Although most of the focus of the session is on the potential override of vetoes, other bills are still waiting for passage. One such bill that most legislators, including state Senator Virgil Peck, expect to pass is a bill cutting the state's food tax. According to Peck, most support lowering the percentage paid on groceries, but others still support lowering taxes elswhere instead.

 

The veto session won't wrap up until everything is considered to be done, but Peck hopes to be finished by the end of the week.
