Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 5:8-76

  • Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.
If at such election a majority of all the votes cast, for and against the rescission of the adoption of this act, in said municipality shall be cast in favor of the rescission thereof, the said adoption of this act shall thereby be rescinded and thereupon this act shall cease to be operative within such municipality and no petition shall be received for the submission of the question of the adoption of the provisions of this act to the voters of said municipality, and no such question shall be submitted to them, at any election earlier than the general election to be held in the third calendar year following the date of such election. If at such election the majority of all the votes so cast shall be against the rescission of said adoption, no petition for such submission of the question of the rescission of such adoption shall be received and no such question shall be again submitted at any election earlier than the general election to be held in the third calendar year following the date of such election.
