The Times Free Press outlines four recently passed bills that may be targets for vetoes from Gov. Bill Haslam. The list includes one bill that would allow mental health counselors to reject clients based on counselors’ personal principles and a resolution ordering the state to file suit against the Obama administration over the federal government's refugee resettlement program in Tennessee. The article notes last week Haslam became the first governor since 1998 to survive a veto override attempt, this time coming on a bill that sought to make the Bible the state’s official book.
