Governor Christie Rejects Revised S-1 Affordable Housing Bill; Demands Return to Original Bill
By: Henry T. Chou, Esq.
On January 24, 2011, Governor Christie conditionally vetoed an amended version of S-1, which had been passed by both the Senate and the Assembly earlier in the month. In rejecting the bill, Governor Christie said it had changed too much from a original S-1 that was passed by the Senate in June 2010, and called for a return to the original bill. It remains to be seen whether the Legislature will act on the Governor's conditional veto.
