What the record shows · Jun 12, 2025

The Legislature lists 75 bills he vetoed from the 2023 session and 86 from 2025. Its 2025 list leaves out SB 99, which he vetoed on June 2, 2025, so 2025 had 87, as his office said: 162 in all. The Legislature's veto history shows no governor with more than 56 from 1899 through 2015, and no later session with more than 41.
