Lawrence, KS – According to the statement, Gov. Kelly supported the majority of the budget but that some pieces were unnecessary, had been resolved in other bills or should have been vetted more thoroughly.
Other provisions that were vetoed included one that would give legislative committees more power over how to allocate federal relief funds.
The rejections come after she vetoed a ban on transgender school athletes, civics and financial literacy requirements for high schoolers and gun safety education for students using National Rifle Association materials.
The eight non-budget bills she has said no to are more than any Kansas governor in the past 17 years and come after Kelly issued just seven total during her first two years in office.
