Sen. Denton Darrington, R-Declo, just offered his interpretation on how the Legislature can pass a “non-severable” bill though the governor has line-item veto power on appropriation bills. “He can line item out one of the appropriations or another at will,” Darrington told the Senate. “He can still line-item veto if that is his preference. However, by our statutory provision, the whole bill then would disappear. … There is precedent - the precedent had to do with the water wars back in the ‘80s, where there were bills that were non-severable.”
