Here are the other key GOP-backed bills vetoed by Gov. Andy Beshear so far

Gov. Andy Beshear vetoed the most controversial bill of the session in Senate Bill 150 Friday.

But he also rejected plenty of high-impact legislation passed by the GOP-controlled legislature.

The legislature will get a chance to override Beshear’s vetoes on March 29 and 30, the final days of the legislative session. Any bills passed in those two days will be subject to a veto that can’t be overridden.

Here’s a list of important bills that Beshear has vetoed so far:

Senate Bill 65: nullifying Medicaid expansion

Senate Bill 65 would nullify several administrative regulations from Beshear’s team, including one that aimed to expand hearing, vision and dental benefits to an estimated 700,000 Kentuckians on Medicaid.

Beshear, in his veto message, said the bill would “harm Kentuckians and frustrate efforts to increase Kentucky’s workforce.” He also said the bill was unconstitutional because, he argued, it infringed on the governor’s right to issue administrative regulations.

Senate Bill 107: Confirmation for Kentucky education leader

Citing an effort to “politicize” the selection of a Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) leader, Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 107. The bill, from Senate Majority Whip Mike Wilson, R-Bowling Green, would require that KDE commissioners are confirmed by the Senate.

Beshear argued that adding the Senate to the process of commissioner approval — the Kentucky Board of Education selects the commissioner — would discourage qualified applicants from seeking to pursue the position.

KDE Commissioner Jason Glass has become a target for Republicans expressing frustration with the state of Kentucky education, particularly regarding his comments that Kentucky teachers should respect a transgender student’s desire to use their preferred pronouns.

Senate Bill 126: venue changes for state government lawsuits

Under Senate Bill 126, Kentuckians could opt to move their legal challenges related to state government or legislation to a randomly selected circuit court across the state.

Beshear framed the bill as an attempt to circumvent Franklin Circuit Court, which has drawn the ire of Republicans in recent years. He called the bill “a legislative power grab to control Kentucky courts,” also claiming that it’s unconstitutional.

House Bill 329: taking contract review power away from Beshear

House Bill 329 would shift the ability to ultimately OK a state government contract, initially chosen by the governor’s office or cabinets, to the State Treasurer. In doing so, it allows the treasurer to revise, cancel, or keep effective any contract found deficient by the Government Contract Review Committee.

That committee, made up of legislators, can currently make non-binding recommendations that the governor can choose to act on or not.

Previous attempts to give more teeth to that committee, Beshear points out in his veto message, have been struck down in court. He said that it interferes with the governor’s constitutionally-delegated power to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.”
