Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:27C-70

  • 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.
10. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of the commission shall be forthwith delivered by and under the certification of the secretary thereof to the Governor. No action taken at such a meeting by the commission shall have force or effect until 10 days, Saturday, Sundays, and public holidays excepted, after the copy of the minutes shall have been so delivered, unless during such 10-day period the Governor shall approve the same, in which case such action shall become effective upon such approval. If, in that 10 day period, the Governor returns such copies of the minutes with veto of any action taken by the commission or any member thereof at such meeting, such action shall be null and void and of no effect.
