Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:27BBB-21
- 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.
b. During the rehabilitation term, the chief operating officer may veto the minutes of any independent board or authority, including, but not limited to, the housing authority, parking authority, redevelopment authority, planning board and board of adjustment. The mayor shall retain this power during the economic recovery term.
c. A true copy of the minutes of every meeting of any independent board or authority, including, but not limited to, the housing authority, parking authority, redevelopment authority, planning board and board of adjustment, shall be prepared and forthwith delivered to the chief operating officer or mayor, as the case may be. No action taken at any such meeting shall have force or effect until 10 days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, after the copy of the minutes shall have been so delivered. If, in that 10-day period, the chief operating officer or mayor returns the copy of the minutes with a veto of any action taken by the board or authority at the meeting, that action shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Following the completion of the 10-day period, those actions not vetoed shall be considered approved.
d. To ensure the expeditious consideration of any decision by the planning board and zoning board of adjustment or any other independent board or authority on the part of the chief operating officer or mayor, as appropriate, the secretary of each board or authority shall forward a copy of each resolution adopted by each board or authority within five business days following the adoption thereof. For the purposes of the exercise of the veto power by the chief operating officer or mayor pursuant to subsection c. of this section, the 10-day period shall commence upon the receipt, by the chief operating officer or mayor, as appropriate, of those resolutions.
