Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 32:3-4a

  • 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.
1. a. The minutes of every meeting of the Delaware River Port Authority, established under R.S.32:3-1 et seq., shall, as soon as possible after the meeting, be delivered, by and under the certification of the secretary of the authority, to the Governor of the State of New Jersey, at the State House, in Trenton.

b. No action taken by a New Jersey commissioner at the meeting shall have force or effect for a period of 10 days, excepting Saturdays, Sundays and State public holidays, after the minutes have been delivered to the Governor under this section, unless the Governor approves the minutes, or any part thereof, in writing, by reciting the action approved, within this 10-day period. This veto power shall not be construed to affect the covenants contained in the bonds of the authority.
