Except as otherwise provided in the Charter and Code, the County Executive shall have
power, within 10 days after its presentation to him by the Legislative Clerk, to veto any
legislation passed by the County Legislature, except local laws and any legislation which
relates to the internal organization and operation of the County Legislature, and appointments
made by the Legislature required by law or by the Charter. A copy of all legislation enacted
by the County Legislature shall immediately after its passage be separately certified by the
Clerk of the County Legislature and filed by the Clerk with the County Executive within five
days after its passage. Except as otherwise provided in the Charter and Code, the County
Executive shall have the power, within 10 days after presentation to him, to veto any such
legislation, except local laws and any legislation which relates to the internal organization and
operation of the County Legislature, and appointments made by the Legislature required by
law or by the Charter. If the County Executive approves it, he shall sign it and return it to the
Clerk. If he vetoes it, he shall return it to the Clerk with his objections stated in writing, and
the Clerk shall present the same with such objections to the County Legislature at its next
regular or special meeting called for that purpose, and such objections shall be entered in its

any of such legislation shall not be returned by the County Executive within 10 days after it

County Executive's approval or veto, it shall be deemed to be adopted with like effect as if he
had approved and signed it.
The procedures to be followed and the powers of the County Executive and County
Legislature relative to the passage and veto of local laws shall be governed by and in
accordance with Article 3 of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York.
