Vetoed legislation
Governors vetoed eight bills that legislators did not approve by overriding the veto.
Six bills were in divided governments, one bill in California (a Democratic trifecta), and one bill in New Hampshire (a Republican trifecta). Arizona and Kansas have Republican-controlled legislatures and Democratic governors, and Vermont has a Democratic-controlled legislature and a Republican governor.
Six of the vetoed bills would have decreased agency authority. Five were vetoed by Democratic governors in Arizona and California. The Arizona measures were REINS-style bills and sunset review bills. One was vetoed in New Hampshire.
Arizona legislators voted to put the REINS-style proposal on the November ballot following its veto by Gov. Katie Hobbs (D).
One of the bills would have increased agency authority and was vetoed by a Republican governor in Vermont. One did not clearly aim to increase or reduce authority and was vetoed by a Democratic governor in Kansas.
