Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-Las Vegas, told his members to be ready for a long day today with committee meetings beginning at 8 a.m. and a floor session at 10 a.m.
He said senators should be prepared to go as long as necessary to process remaining bills.
Horsford, without voting on whether to override any more vetoed bills, and Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley, D-Las Vegas, both adjourned before 5 p.m. But he said after adjournment there is nothing holding up those votes.
"We've had discussions about a list of all overrides we plan on voting on," he said.
Horsford said he doesn't expect problems getting the two-thirds majorities needed to reject the vetoes.
He pointed to the three override votes Thursday night, saying, "Seventeen, 18, 19 senators out of 21 speaks volumes."
Most of today will be spent in conference committees appointed to resolve differences between Senate and Assembly versions of different bills.
Each committee consists of three members from each house with at least one member of each party in each delegation.
They meet, adopt one version or other of a bill or find a compromise between the two, then bring their agreement back to the full Senate and Assembly for a vote.
Normally, the full body accepts the compromise.
