Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 40:20-71.3
- 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 director of the board of chosen freeholders is authorized and empowered, with the consent of a majority of the members of the board, but not otherwise, to veto any action taken by any county authority or any member thereof at a meeting of a county authority. No action taken at a meeting by members of any county authority shall be effective if the director of the board of chosen freeholders returns to the authority a copy of the minutes with a veto of any action taken by the authority or any member thereof at a meeting of the authority or until 10 days after a copy of the minutes shall have been delivered to each member of the board of chosen freeholders.
b. “County authority” in this section means a body, public and corporate, created by a county pursuant to any law authorizing that creation, which law provides that the public body so created has at least the following powers:
(1) To adopt and use a corporate seal;
(2) To sue and be sued;
(3) To acquire and hold real or personal property for its purposes; and
(4) To provide for and secure the payment of its bonds or other obligations, or to provide for the assessment of a tax on real property within its district, or to impose charges for the use of its facilities or any combination thereof.
