The governor announced bills passed by the Kentucky General Assembly that he had either side or vetoed.

More in tonight's legislative update.

Among the governor's vetoes, House Bill 804 It's a bill to allow the parties in cases involving state laws or regulations to change the court where the case is litigated.

The governor says he vetoed the bill because he believes it's an unconstitutional violation of separation of powers.

804 is yet another attempt for the legislature to control the venue.

The different constitutional or legislative challenges are filed in courts.

What it attempts to do is take the decision of venue entirely out of the judicial branch and give it to any one of the litigating parties.

They can just simply ask for a change of venue without any process or evaluation and violates the separation of powers.

It is squarely in the judicial branch's authority to handle things like venue.

The Supreme Court's already struck down several laws on this.

I don't think we should keep going back and back and back and passing different versions of unconstitutional laws.

The Republican supermajorities in both chambers will have a chance to override this and other vetoes when lawmakers reconvene next Friday and the following Monday.

We'll talk about this veto with NPR senior editor Ryland Barton in just a minute.
