Section 1853. Approval power of the governor  


Latest version.
  • 1. No action taken at any
      meeting of the authority shall have force or effect until  the  governor
      shall have an opportunity to approve or veto the same.
        2.  For  the purpose of procuring such approval or veto, the authority
      shall by rule designate an officer of the authority to transmit  to  the
      governor  at  the  executive  chamber  in Albany a certified copy of the
      minutes of every meeting of the authority as soon after the  holding  of
      such  meeting  as  such  minutes can be written out. The governor shall,
      within fifteen days after such minutes shall have been delivered to  the
      executive  chamber  as  aforesaid,  cause the same to be returned to the
      authority either with his approval  or  with  his  veto  of  any  action
      therein  recited  as  having  been taken, provided, however, that if the
      governor shall not return the said minutes within the said  period  then
      at  the  expiration  thereof  any action therein recited shall have full
      force and effect according to the wording thereof.
        3. If the governor within the said period  returns  the  said  minutes
      with  a  veto against any action recited therein, then such action shall
      be null and void.
        4. The governor may by order filed  with  the  authority  relieve  the
      authority from the duty of procuring his approval of its action upon any
      particular matter or class of matters, and thereupon the authority shall
      be relieved from reporting the same to him.
