Proposing a constitutional amendment to allow the Texas legislature to override a governor's veto after a regular session.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change the process for overriding a governor's veto in Texas. Currently, if the governor vetoes a bill, it can still become law if two-thirds of both houses of the legislature vote to override the veto during the same session the bill was passed. This proposal would allow the legislature to reconsider and potentially override a veto even after the regular session has adjourned, provided the legislature reconvenes within a specified period. The amendment would be put to a vote in the November 4, 2025 election.
