Hill says Otter showed him vetoed bill

COEUR d’ALENE — Idaho’s Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill said he saw the controversial SB 1011 veto on April 3, but did not take possession of the bill.

Sen. Hill, R-Rexberg, said the governor had called to inform him that he intended to veto the bill on April 3, but he wasn’t going to release that information until April 6.

Technically the legal deadline to physically deliver the bill to the Senate was April 4. If the veto was in fact invalid because of the delay in delivery, SB 1011 would automatically become law.
