Governor Polis Vetoes Progressive Bills on Surveillance, Arbitration, and Plastic Waste
Governor Jared Polis has vetoed three progressive bills in Colorado, addressing issues such as surveillance pricing, arbitration reform, and plastic waste reduction. The vetoed bills included measures to prevent corporations from using personal data for pricing, reform arbitration processes, and reduce plastic waste by limiting the distribution of single-use serviceware. Polis cited concerns over the broad scope and potential redundancy of the bills, suggesting that local governments should handle certain policies. The vetoes have sparked discussions among Democrats, who plan to revisit these proposals in future legislative sessions.
