Lombardo Vetoes Near Record With 2025 Decisions

Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has vetoed several bills in 2025 covering gun control, transgender protections, HOA regulations, immigration enforcement in schools, and price-fixing. He vetoed Assembly Bill 105, intended to ban firearms at polling places, calling it redundant while gun safety advocates criticized the move as endangering voters. Lombardo also rejected bills providing legal protections for transgender individuals and their healthcare providers, as well as for incarcerated transgender people, prompting condemnation from LGBTQ+ groups. Additional vetoes targeted efforts to limit HOA authority, prevent price-fixing, and restrict immigration enforcement at schools, which Lombardo argued would represent government overreach. His actions are consistent with his pro-business and small government philosophy, though critics contend the vetoes undermine protections for vulnerable groups. With these latest decisions, Lombardo's total vetoes in 2025 are nearing but have not yet surpassed the record he set in 2023.
