Gov. Butch Otter’s veto on Saturday of SB 1175, regarding bighorn sheep, was received by the Senate this morning, and Majority Leader Bart Davis, R-Idaho Falls, asked to route the bill back to the Resources Committee. Senate Minority Leader Kate Kelly, D-Boise, objected; she’s taken the position that vetoed bills should come up for override votes. Davis then moved to send the bill to the Resources Committee, Senate Assistant Majority Leader Joe Stegner, R-Lewiston, seconded the motion, and it passed on a voice vote. Another sheep bill is in the works.
