At one point early Wednesday evening, it appeared the 2015 veto session would go late into the night - or need to resume today.
Ultimately, Missouri lawmakers finished the veto session in one day - including breaks.
The House spent more than an hour debating the local control "paper-or-plastic" bill that prohibits local governments from setting a local minimum wage or telling retailers what kind of bags they can offer customers in their businesses.
The controversial right-to-work debate took nearly two hours.
But the House finished all debate on the 10 House bills Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed this summer by 5:30 p.m. - then representatives took up the Senate's overridden bills at 7:15 p.m., and were finished by 9.
The Senate opened its session with the election of Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, as the new president pro tem, and spent about an hour hearing Democrat Maria Chappelle-Nadal's concerns about troubles in her St. Louis County district that includes Ferguson.
But the Senate broke about 1:30 p.m. and held no debate on vetoed bills until the House debated, then failed to override, the right-to-work measure.
The Senate then began debating bills shortly after 5 p.m. and, as of press time, were debating the local control bill - the last House bill to be decided.
This year's veto session was shorter than the two previous sessions.
Last year, Nixon had vetoed 33 bills and nearly 100 line items in budget bills - and the veto session went until well past midnight.
Although some legislative committees may meet this fall, and lawmakers can begin prefiling bills on Dec. 1 for the 2016 session, the next time the General Assembly meets will be Jan. 6, when the 2016 session begins.
