Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 32:2-7
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
- 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.
The Governor shall, within 10 days exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays after the minutes shall have been so delivered, cause the same to be returned to the port authority either with or without his veto on any action therein recited as having been taken by any commissioner appointed from this State. If the Governor shall not return the minutes within said 10-day period, any action therein recited shall have force and effect according to the wording thereof.
