Three things to know from Missouri's completed veto session

* 10 overrides, 23 sustained: The Republican-controlled Legislature overrode 10 of Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon's 33 vetoes. The new laws restrict lawsuits, allow elected officials to vote during meetings by videoconference, and increase the maximum punishment for stealing livestock. They will replace the state's ban on foreign ownership of farmland with a 1 percent cap while requiring state approval, prevent officials from barring celebration of federal holidays and increase the maximum fee for installment loans. Also overridden were a budget item, a bill dealing with foster parents and a measure designed to safeguard county budgets from some clerical errors. But vetoes were sustained for bills that sought to cut taxes; nullify some federal gun laws; require public employees give annual consent before union dues are collected; broaden what constitutes misconduct for unemployment benefits; bar policies infringing property rights traceable to a United Nations resolution; and preventing use of foreign law "repugnant" or "inconsistent" with the Missouri or U.S. constitutions.

* New laws: Missouri law states the nine overridden non-budget bills will take effect in 30 days. The 10th override was of Nixon's veto of a $1 million budget item to help rebuild the Pike-Lincoln Technical Center damaged by fire, which was part of the 2014 budget that took effect in July. However, the governor's budget director said Nixon is freezing the money, so the money still may not be spent.

* Narrowest of margins: Several overrides were decided by one vote. Five overridden bills reached the minimum in the House or Senate, including a bill to shield volunteer health-care providers from lawsuits. It took the House two tries after its initial vote was one short. The second go-round reached the minimum mark. Veto overrides were one short in the Senate for legislation dealing with guns and unions. The House was one shy on the bill dealing with foreign laws.
