Terms Used In N.Y. County Law 670
- 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.
2. In the exercise of its power to enact local laws, and in addition to any such power conferred by Article 2 of the municipal home rule law or other applicable law, the board of supervisors or other elective governing body of any county, other than a county wholly included within a city, may adopt and make applicable to such county, or to its officer performing the functions of a medical examiner, by whatever name designated, any provision of this article which is inapplicable to such county under the provisions of subdivision one of this section, provided that such power shall be exercised in the manner and subject to any veto, referendum or other requirement provided by applicable law.
