Legislative schedule: Maps, veto votes later this month
The General Assembly's constitutionally required veto session came and went Thursday morning without the body taking up Gov. Roy Cooper's four outstanding vetoes, which the Republican majority may eventually override.

A number of members did not attend Thursday's session for various reasons.
Here's the schedule as laid out by Lewis, R-Harnett, and House Speaker Tim Moore:
Aug. 18: The legislature comes into session, and the House, at least, will hold only a non-voting session. Being formally in session allows the chambers to get more things moving, including parts of the map-making process. This session date replaces a previously planned Sept. 6 session.
Aug. 22: A public hearing will be held on proposed legislative maps.
Aug. 24 (or so): Lewis said he hopes to hold a floor vote, or votes, on the new maps, as well as the veto overrides. That's not set in stone, though.
