flag Governor Beshear vetoed a bill to join a federal education tax credit program, citing public opposition and fears of diverting funds from public schools.

flag Governor Andy Beshear vetoed House Bill 1, which would have allowed Kentucky to join a federal education tax credit program enabling tax-deductible donations to scholarship organizations for private and homeschooling. flag He cited public opposition, referencing a 2024 ballot measure that rejected school choice by a 30-point margin, and argued the program would divert funds from public schools. flag The bill, passed by the Senate on February 27, now returns to the legislature, where Republicans may attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority. flag The debate centers on expanding educational options versus protecting public school funding.
