Wrap: A vetoed bill being sent for override bans state and local governments from restricting celebration of federal holidays including Christmas.

But Governor Jay Nixon's veto letter has changed the debate to public safety and health issues regarding the use of fireworks on July 4.

In Nixon's veto letter he says the bill would limit state and local government power to regulate firework use. Nixon says this would lead to health and safety concerns.  

Republican Representative and bill co-sponsor Bill White says this would not be the case.

Legislation veto sessions start September 11.

Wrap: A vetoed bill being considered for override would prohibit governments from banning federal holidays like Easter and Christmans on government grounds.  

Governor Jay Nixon moves the debate from religious holidays to civic celebrations like Independence Day.

Nixon wrote in his veto letter quote “Local governments would be hampered in their efforts to enforce existing fireworks ordinances around July 4^th.”
