New Jersey Governor Pocket Vetoes One-Room Ambulatory Liposuction Center Bill
EDISON, NEW JERSEY – In early January, the New Jersey Legislature approved a bill that would require licensing for one-room surgery centers.
Later that month, Governor Christie of New Jersey pocket vetoed the bill. A pocket veto is the only type of veto in which the governor does not return the bill to the Legislature for a possible vote to override. As the breast augmentation of NJ expert believes, this veto only applies to bills passed within the last 10 days of a 2-year legislative session.
According to the Department of Health, because the bill exempted the single-room surgeries from a tax levied on ambulatory surgery centers, it conflicted with a federal rule. The rule states that to qualify for federal matching funds from Medicaid, states must have uniform policies for taxing health care providers.
