ABSOLUTE VETO of S-1191

GOVERNOR TAKES ACTION ON S1191
ABSOLUTE VETO
NJASBO actively pursued this veto by personally meeting with counsel from the Governor's office to explain the negative cost inefficiencies of this proposal.
S-1191 would have allowed the establishment of county-wide purchasing system for certain school district services in certain counties; offer employment protections for certain food or custodial service employees; and regulate subcontracting by districts and public higher education institutions.

Votes needed to override an absolute veto:  27 in Senate and 54 in Assembly.
