TL;DR Summary
Kentucky’s Republican supermajority overrode nearly all 32 vetoes Gov. Andy Beshear issued, sending most bills to law while preserving just three small line-item vetoes in the budget. Overrides touched JCPS governance, Medicaid oversight, executive power limits, and gun policy, and were largely party-line votes that reduce the governor’s influence over spending and policy.
