肯塔基州州长Andy Beshear否决了HB 1, 该法案要求加入联邦教育税收抵免方案,
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.
