It would take 40 out of 60 lawmaker to override Dunleavy’s veto.

The education bill, which was largely seen as a compromise between progressive and conservative lawmakers, passed last month in a combined 56-3 vote, with 18 Senate members and 38 House members voting in favor. Most of the 17 members of the bipartisan Senate majority have indicated they plan to vote to override the veto, citing their concerns about Dunleavy’s education priorities and lack of progress through closed-door negotiations. The 16-member House minority, predominantly made up of Democrats, has also indicated it plans to vote in favor of the override. Three non-Republican House majority members representing rural districts are strongly in favor of preserving the education funding boost.
