SB 125

Apr 10, 2025 · Senate · Veto Override

Outcome: passed

Yea: 30
Nay: 10
AFL-CIO Key Vote: OPPOSE
Forced Bundled Override of All Governor's Budget Vetoes
This vote forced a single up-or-down decision on overriding all of the Governor's line-item vetoes on the state budget at once — denying senators the chance to deliberate on each provision individually. The overridden vetoes included eliminating 12-month continuous Medicaid eligibility for low-wage workers, mandating an AI-driven budget audit program with no collective bargaining protections for affected state employees, requiring elimination of all DEI positions across state government, and imposing across-the-board agency budget cuts that directly pressure state employee wages and staffing.
