The New Jersey Public Question No. 6 was on the ballot in New Jersey on November 3, 1981, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was approved. The amendment to Article V, Section 1, paragraph 14 of the New Jersey Constitution required the Governor to consider all bills passed by the legislature prior to 10 days before the end of a legislative term. Previously, the Governor would request that passed legislation be presented, allowing for pocket vetoes by requesting them late in a legislative term and declining further action. The amendment also extended the time window for the Governor to consider a bill to 45 days and allowed for a special legislative session at the end of a term to work on bills sent back by the Governor.[1]
