Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 39:2A-17
- Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
17. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of the board shall be delivered by and under the certification of the secretary of the board, without delay, to the Governor. No action taken at the meeting shall have force or effect until 10 days, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays excepted, after the minutes are delivered, unless during the 10-day period the Governor approves the minutes, in which case the action shall become effective upon approval. If, in that 10-day period, the Governor returns copies of the minutes with a veto of any action taken by the board or any member, the action shall be null and void and of no effect.
