Henry Nears Veto Record With Two New Ones

With his vetoes of two bills on Tuesday, Governor Henry is one veto shy of tying his previous veto record of 13 in a legislative session. He has now vetoed 12 measures this year.

One measure Henry vetoed, Senate Bill 1600, would have mandated restrictions on injured workers.

He also vetoed Senate Bill 934 that would have dictated which drugs could be prescribed under the Medicaid program.

In his veto message, Henry said SB1600, the injured worker bill, is bad policy and would have unintended consequences.
