state veto power

State veto power refers to the authority of a state government to reject or block legislation or decisions made by its local governments or agencies. Similar to how the President can veto a bill passed by Congress, a state governor or legislature may have the power to veto certain local laws or ordinances to ensure consistency with state-wide policies. This mechanism helps maintain state-level oversight, balance local autonomy, and promote uniform governance across the state. It’s a way for states to regulate and oversee local actions without completely overriding local authority.
