32:11E-6. Delivery of copy of minutes; cancellation or approval of vote; statement of governor

As soon as possible after the taking of any action by the commissioners of the authority, they shall cause the minutes thereof to be prepared in writing and shall cause 3 copies thereof, duly certified as true copies by the secretary, to be delivered to the Governor, either by handing the same personally to him or to some person in charge of his offices, or by mailing the same to him at his offices by certified mail, return receipt requested. They shall also cause 1 copy thereof to be similarly delivered to the Secretary of State. In the event that the Governor shall act to cancel the vote of any 1 or more of the commissioners for the State of New Jersey, he shall sign a statement of cancellation, identifying the vote so canceled by reference to the minutes where said vote appears, on or before the termination of the time provided for such action by Article VI of said compact, and the said vote shall thereupon be deemed to be canceled. At any time prior to the expiration of the time provided by said compact for such cancellation, the Governor may sign a statement of approval of any such vote, in which case the vote so approved shall not thereafter be canceled. Upon the signing of a statement of cancellation or approval, the Governor shall cause a true copy thereof to be delivered to the secretary of the authority by having the same handed to him personally or by mailing the same to him by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall also cause a true copy thereof to be affixed to the copies of said minutes in his possession and to the copy in the possession of the Secretary of State.

Except as provided in the act, no action taken at any meeting of The Delaware River and Bay Authority by any commissioner appointed from the State of New Jersey shall have any force or effect until the expiration of the period herein provided without cancellation by the Governor, or until his approval, whichever first occurs.
