Bill > SCR233

This Concurrent Resolution is a legislative action by the New Jersey State Legislature to override a specific decision made by the Governor. The Governor had used a "line-item veto," which is the power to reject specific parts of a bill, in this case, a reduction in funding for the Center for Hispanic Policy, Research and Development, which is part of the Office of the Secretary of State and the Department of State. By passing this Concurrent Resolution, the Legislature is essentially saying they disagree with the Governor's veto and are restoring the original funding amount that was initially approved for the Center. This action is a way for the legislative branch to assert its authority over budget decisions when it disagrees with the executive branch's specific cuts.
