The Kentucky General Assembly's Republican supermajority sped more than 100 bills to passage ahead of the governor’s veto period. Some of the most contentious measures were heavily amended before the public could give their input, or even read them.

The Republican-controlled General Assembly can override Democrat Beshear’s veto when lawmakers return to Frankfort Thursday and Friday following the veto period. 

Lawmakers can override the vetoes when they return to Frankfort next week.

The House on Friday also killed an unrelated bill sought by the state’s largest treatment program and sponsored by freshman Sen. Craig Richardson, R-Hopkinsville.
