Last Friday, Governor Laura Kelly vetoed House Bill 2532, the horse race wagering bill. The bill passed 34-3 in the Senate and 8832 in the House. It was shared with The Eureka Herald that the bill was rejected due to language in the bill needing to be updated to include funding being granted to the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission for security and regulations. Bill writers have 10-days to update the language and return the bill to Governor Kelly for signature.
GOP legislative leaders say they will work to override the governor’s vetoes when lawmakers return this week.
