Governor cannot raise taxes by veto
The law limits the governor’s partial veto power. When approving an appropriation bill in part, the governor cannot use edits to create or raise any tax or fee. The law also bans making new words by deleting letters and making new sentences by joining parts of sentences. This helps prevent tax or fee changes made only through partial‑veto edits.
