> In March, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) voted to oppose the bill and sent a letter to lawmakers urging them to reject it, raising concerns that it would expand the commission’s mission to a “highly specialized area” of state contracts best overseen by the Department of General Services, the Department of Technology and other state agencies.

Is the bill being vetoed to be re-worked, or is this an excuse to kill it?

It is usually hard to know what the real reason is in this type of situation. Politicians will say they are veto-ing to allow for a rework when they are really just killing it.
