The governor's trio of late-night vetoes are certain to anger allies.
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a trio of vetoes late Friday evening that are sure to anger his progressive allies — including an unexpected rejection of a bill requiring judges to consider children’s gender identities in custody disputes.
In his veto message, Newsom largely sidestepped underlying political implications by warning against allowing the government “to dictate — in prescriptive terms that single out one characteristic — legal standards” for judges to apply. He noted courts could already consider parents’ handling of gender identity.
Sen. Scott Wiener, a gay San Francisco Democrat and a champion of LGBTQ priority bills, called Newsom’s veto a “tragedy for trans kids who “are living in fear” in a post on X, previously known as Twitter. That response is unlikely to mollify lawmakers, who believe regulators are overly friendly to industry, or organized labor. California Labor Federation leader Lorena Gonzalez excoriated Newsom’s “shocking” veto in a statement vowing to “fight to make sure that robots do not replace human drivers.”
