HONOLULU — Gov. Neil Abercrombie has notified the state Legislature that he intends to veto 10 bills passed in the 2014 session.
Among the potential vetoes announced Monday is a bill that would require members of some state boards and agencies to disclose financial information to the public.
Another bill would require that at least one member of a state land board has a background in Native Hawaiian traditions.
Abercrombie says most of the bills were problematic due to concerns raised by state departments or agencies.
The governor has until July 8 to sign bills into law. But he has to give lawmakers advance warning so they can take action if they choose to override a veto.
Lawmakers also could propose changes to bills to meet the governor’s approval.
