Kelly Vetoes Wide Range of Bills

 

Kansas Governor Laura Kelley vetoes a number of bills and allows two to become law without her signature.

 

Kelly has vetoed proposed tax breaks for pregnancy crisis centers while allowing restrictions on college diversity initiatives to become law without her signature. Kelly announced the actions Friday on bills approved by the Republican-controlled Legislature. Besides the abortion-related measure, she vetoed two election bills saying there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Kansas and that the bills would disenfranchise voters by making advanced voting more difficult. She also vetoed a bill increasing the penalties for killing police dogs, saying the issue needs more study. The new law on diversity will bar state colleges from requiring applicants for admission, jobs and promotions to state their views on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
