Colorado Senate overrides Gov. Jared Polis veto of social media bill

denvergazette.com, Approved, State / / , , , , , ,

The state Senate voted 29-6 on Friday morning to override Gov. Jared Polis’s veto of a social media bill. The 29-6 vote was five above the two-thirds majority required for an override.

It’s the first override of a Polis gubernatorial veto of a bill-or any bill from his three predecessors-since the administration of Gov. Roy Romer in 1988.

There have been other veto overrides—in 2007 and 2011—but those were directions from the General Assembly to state agencies as part of the budget process. In at least three decades, no governor has vetoed a budget bill or even a line item in a budget bill, although they do veto those legislative directions occasionally.
