Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoes Senate Bill two fifty-four, preserving in-state tuition for non-citizen students. The bill, which would have ended this policy, fell short of veto-proof numbers in the legislature. Kelly argued against punishing students for their parents choices, emphasizing the states need for their skills. The push for the bill came from Republicans, who claimed it broke federal law and cost taxpayers six hundred million dollars a year, numbers debunked by state agencies. Some Senate Republicans opposed the bill, arguing for compassion and rule of law. Lawmakers will attempt to override the veto on Thursday, but its unlikely to succeed, leaving the policy intact and keeping Kansass talent pipeline flowing.
