LOS ANGELES—A proposed ballot measure that would change aspects of the Los Angeles Police Department’s disciplinary system was in doubt July 16 following Mayor Karen Bass’ decision to veto the plan.

The mayor’s veto could lead to the measure being removed from the November ballot. The City Council can override the mayor’s action with 10 votes. The council is currently on summer recess until July 30.
