undergo background checks through the Kansas Bureau of Investigations. Uber was openly against this bill.
The Senate overrode the veto first, then the House. After the House decision, @Uber_KS tweeted "Farewell, Kansas". Their banner photo also reads #BringBackUberKS.
Rep. Barbara Bollier (R-Mission Hills) voted for the regulations originally and voted to override the bill on Tuesday.
"[Uber] said they would be pulling out before it even passed the House," she said. "My opinion is you have to play by the rules, and this was not burdensome to them."
When the governor first vetoed the bill, he referred to it in a press release as "premature," and said it opened the doors for more issues in the market place.
"To overregulate or improperly regulate an emerging industry before the marketplace actors make proper arrangements is to invite more problems, not less" the statement read.

Rep. Jim Ward (D-Wichita) voted for the original bill and for the override, and said the override was about consumer safety.
