§ 1.3-312. Executive Approval or Veto of Ordinance.

 Before any ordinance takes effect, except an emergency ordinance, it must first be submitted to the County Executive for his or her approval. The County Executive shall sign the ordinance if he or she approves it, whereupon it shall become law as of its effective date. If he or she disapproves it, the County Executive shall return the ordinance to the Board with the reasons for his or her disapproval within ten (10) days after he or she receives it. If the Board shall within thirty (30) days thereafter, again pass the ordinance, this time by an affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Board in office plus one (1), the ordinance shall become law without the County Executive’s approval. If the County Executive fails to act upon an ordinance within ten (10) days after receiving it, the ordinance shall become law without his or her approval.
