Definition and counting method
12
CoverageAll 541 distinct vetoed bills in the official regular-session summaries for 2023–2026. Review date: November 7, 2026.
13
DirectPrimary subjects: criminal offenses and enforcement, policing, corrections and probation, victim and child abuse protections, emergency response, and specific traffic safety or enforcement rules.
14
RelatedAdditional subjects: firearms policy, foreign and infrastructure security, border declarations, immigration reporting or administration, explicit content and online protections, and closely related substance-use or school eligibility policies.
15
ExpandedDirect plus Related. Each bill counts once, even when it addresses multiple topics. The 52 Related bills are additional to the 68 Direct bills.
16
ExclusionsGeneral elections, governance, tax, benefits, land use, environmental regulation, clinical care, curriculum, and routine vehicle or foster-placement administration. Incidental enforcement clauses do not by themselves qualify a bill.
17
Budget billsInclude bills devoted to criminal justice. Exclude omnibus appropriations and other budget subjects, even when they contain public safety funding.
18
CompanionsCount only the vetoed bill identifier. A substituted or non-vetoed companion is not an additional veto. In 2024, HB2570 substituted for SB1112; only HB2570 is counted.
19
InterpretationThese are analyst classifications of official bill summaries, not an official public safety category or a conclusion about whether a bill would improve safety. Boundary cases appear explicitly in Veto review.
20
Earlier figureThe earlier 66-bill selection was not exhaustive. It equals 12.2% of 541, but should not be reported as an exhaustive public safety total.
21
How to reviewFilter Classification to Direct for the narrower list, or Direct and Related for the expanded list. Every veto remains visible, including excluded bills and its official source.
