Gov. Rick Scott issued his first substantive veto on Thursday, striking down a measure that passed two Senate committees and both houses of the Legislature unanimously. # Scott has vetoed a handful of budget conforming bills and some line items, but the target of his first veto not related to the budget was Senate Bill 1992 , a measure intended to fix a problem stemming from legislation passed in 2010, which toughened background check requirements for people who work with senior citizens
“„SB 1992 passed the House and Senate unanimously. Community service agencies and AARP did not oppose this legislation. Governor Rick Scott’s veto of SB 1992 makes it very clear that he does not have either the information or the knowledge to make consistent decisions when it comes to executing bills passed by the Florida Legislature. #
