Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:27H-36

  • 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.
8. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of the authority shall be forthwith transmitted to the Governor. No action taken at that meeting by the authority shall have force or effect until 15 days after the copy of the minutes shall have been so delivered unless during the 15-day period the Governor shall approve the same, in which case the action shall become effective upon that approval. If, in the 15-day period, the Governor returns the copy of the minutes with veto of any action taken by the authority or any member thereof at that meeting, that action shall be null and of no effect.
