Governor Kelly Vetoes Senate Bill 24

*
TOPEKA* – Governor Laura Kelly has vetoed Senate Bill 24. 

*"The following veto message is from Governor Kelly regarding her veto of Senate Bill 24:"* 

“The Kansas Promise Scholarship Program provides financial support to Kansans to help them cover the cost of a two-year degree or technical training program. Currently the program is limited to not-for-profit schools. Senate Bill 24 would allow two private, for-profit institutions to participate in the program. 

“I have serious concerns about the precedent that would be set by providing state funding to for-profit educational institutions that are not accountable to the state or taxpayers. This program is meant to support Kansans as they pursue an education, not funnel public money to private, for-profit institutions.

“Therefore, under Article 2, Section 14(a) of the Constitution, I hereby veto Senate Bill 24.”
