Governor Herbert rejected four bills passed by the 2011 Legislature. The legislators are looking at the first veto override session on either April 25 or May 2. Deseret News
Bills Vetoed by the Governor:
SB229 earmarks 30% of new tax revenues to pay for transportation projects. SB229
SB294 changed health insurance plans and costs. SB294
HB328 changed the state back to five day work week. HB328
SB305 creates a computer alignment for schools with the business community. SB305
The Legislators will discuss an override on all four bills, however no indication is being given now which ones will vetoed by the legislature.
The governor already called the legislature back into a special session since the end of the 2011 session to repeal HB 477, which made dramatic changes in the Open Records GRAMA laws currently in place. The public outcry, led by the continuous media scrutiny of the changed bill created the motivation for the governor to call the special session where HB 477 was repealed.
