Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 32:36-15

  • State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
  • 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.
15. a. The minutes of every meeting of the Gateway Development Commission held under or within the purview of this act shall be forthwith transmitted, by and under the certification of the Commission thereof, to the Governor of each state. No action taken at such meeting by any commissioner appointed from each respective state shall have force or effect for a period of ten days, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays excepted, after the minutes shall have been so transmitted and delivered unless the respective Governor shall finally approve the minutes or any part thereof, reciting any such action, within said ten-day period.

b. Each Governor shall, within ten days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays, after the minutes shall have been so delivered, cause the same to be returned to the Gateway Development Commission either with or without his veto on any action therein recited as having been taken by any commissioner appointed from the Governor’s respective state. If the Governor does not return the minutes within said ten-day period, any action therein recited as having been taken at such meeting by any commissioner appointed from the Governor’s respective state shall have force and effect according to the wording thereof.
