Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 5:9-9

  • 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.
No action of the commission shall be binding unless taken at a meeting at which at least four of the seven members are present and shall vote in favor thereof. The minutes of every meeting of the commission, including any rules and regulations promulgated by the commission or any amendments, revisions, supplements or repeal thereof, shall be forthwith transmitted, by and under the certification of the secretary thereof, to the Governor at the Executive Chamber, State House, Trenton. The Governor shall, within 10 days after said minutes shall have been so delivered, cause the same to be returned to the commission, either with or without his veto of any action therein recited as having been taken by the commission. If the Governor shall not return the minutes within said 10 days, any action recited therein shall have force and effect according to the wording thereof.
