Nebraska senators just issued a 31-13 vote, rejecting Governor Pete Ricketts’ vetoday. The motion concerned giving individuals who came to the U.S. illegally as children the chance to obtain commercial and professional licenses. Gov. Ricketts reportedly stated that he felt his veto echoed the thoughts of the general public in Nebraska. Despite this, the senators’ vote overrode the issue.

The decision allowed numerous individuals across the state the right to continue working and/or obtain permits professional licenses.
