Connecticut House records July 21 three-day veto session call; reading of veto messages waived
Summary
The House recorded a secretary-of-state call to reconvene the General Assembly in Hartford at 10 a.m. July 21, 2025 for up to three days to reconsider vetoed bills. Majority Leader Rojas moved to waive reading of the governor's veto messages; the motion was agreed to without objection and the House adjourned.
The Connecticut House of Representatives was called to order "pursuant to the call of the secretary of state" and the clerk read a formal notice scheduling a three-day veto session to begin at 10 a.m. on July 21, 2025 in Hartford.
The call, signed by Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas, said the 2025 regular session had adjourned on June 4, 2025 and that the governor had disapproved certain bills and transmitted his objections. It directed the General Assembly to reconvene "for the sole purpose of reconsidering and, if the General Assembly so so desires, repassing said bills." The clerk read that call into the record.
Majority Leader Representative Rojas of the 9th District moved that "the reading of the veto message be waived and that they be ordered printed," which the presiding officer accepted "without objection, so ordered." Representative Rojas then moved that the House adjourn, saying, "I move we adjourn." The presiding officer closed the session by unanimous consent and no roll-call votes on individual bills were recorded in the transcript of this sitting.
The actions recorded at this convening were procedural: the scheduling of the reconvened veto session and the waiving of formal reading of the governor's veto messages. Any consideration, debate or formal votes on the governor's vetoes would occur during the reconvened session and be entered into the journal and subsequent records.
The clerk's reading and the secretary of state's call are on the record; further proceedings, including any motions, amendments or roll-call votes on individual bills, will be reflected in later entries in the House journal.
