Tennessee lawmakers have adjourned the 109th General Assembly without scheduling a veto override session.
"We will adjourn today can I get an amen!" said Rep. Andy Holt.
Some House members had worried that Republican Gov. Bill Haslam could reject key legislation after lawmakers have gone home for the year.
"On certain bills I’d tell them here’s my thinking on that if I had come to a conclusion," said the Governor once the lawmakers adjourned.
He would not say what, if any bills he may still veto.
But others raised concerns that returning in late May to consider veto overrides would keep lawmakers under a fundraising ban as they try to jumpstart their re-election campaigns.
Among the potential candidates for gubernatorial vetoes are measures seeking to direct the state attorney general to sue the federal government over its refugee resettlement program, allow counselors to decline to provide therapy to patients based on religious and personal beliefs and allow faculty and staff to be armed on the campuses of public colleges.
