Colorado lawmakers' second attempt to override Gov. Jared Polis' veto fails

  • The Colorado Senate halted a vote on Friday in Denver to override Governor Jared Polis' veto of Senate Bill 77, which aimed to amend open records laws.
  • The veto followed Polis' April 17 decision due to concerns about extended deadlines and special treatment for journalists, and lawmakers lacked enough votes to override it.
  • Sponsors argued the bill balanced interests between public access and agencies, while opponents stressed that transparency laws must apply equally without government gatekeeping.
  • House Speaker Julie McCluskie noted that while legislators may support a policy, deciding to overturn a veto presents a separate challenge, causing some members to feel uneasy about taking that step.
  • With two veto override attempts failing this week, both vetoes stand, reflecting the challenges of overriding a veto and ongoing debates over fairness in records access.
