NJ A5739

Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners must maintain minutes of all meetings and public hearings, and no action may be taken unless it occurs at a properly documented meeting

Certified copies of meeting minutes must be delivered to the Governor, and no action taken at meetings has force or effect until 15 days after delivery

The Governor may approve minutes in writing before the 15-day period ends to make actions effective immediately, or may veto any action taken by the commissioners to render it null and void

The Governor's veto power must be exercised with due regard for rights of bondholders and existing contractual obligations of the commissioners

If the Governor does not notify the commissioners of a veto within the 15-day review period, the minutes and corresponding actions automatically take effect
