Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 5:5-22.1

  • 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.
31. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of the commission shall be forthwith delivered by and under the certification of, the executive director thereof to the Governor. No action taken at such meeting of the commission shall have force and effect until the earlier of 10 days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, after such copy of the minutes shall have been so delivered, or the approval thereof by the Governor. If, in the 10-day period, the Governor returns such copy 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. The Governor may approve all or part of the action taken at such meeting, prior to the expiration of the 10-day period. This section shall not apply to enforcement actions for violations of regulations promulgated by the commission.
