Kentucky's governor vetoed a bill to join a federal education tax credit program, citing constitutional concerns and a 2024 voter rejection, but Republicans plan to override the veto.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear vetoed HB 1, a bill to join a federal education tax credit program that would have allowed residents to claim tax credits for donations to scholarship-granting organizations supporting private school tuition, tutoring, and other educational expenses.
Beshear argued the bill violated the state constitution by diverting public funds to private education, citing a 2024 voter rejection of similar funding and emphasizing the need to invest in public schools, teacher pay, and early childhood education.
Republican lawmakers, including the bill’s sponsors, criticized the veto as harmful to families and said the program would keep tax dollars in Kentucky.
With a Republican supermajority, lawmakers plan to override the veto, though the outcome remains uncertain.
