52:27B-31. Governor may prohibit or control expenditures
Whenever, in the case of extravagance, waste or mismanagement, it appears to the satisfaction of the Governor that any appropriation by a spending agency is not in the best interest of the State, he may prohibit and enjoin such expenditure or any future expenditure under the appropriation and prescribe the terms upon which the same may be made, if at all, by making and signing an order to that effect and serving it on the request officer of such spending agency, and also serving a certified copy of the order upon the commissioner and upon the director of purchase and property, whereupon the order shall immediately become operative. Upon such service future expenditures under the appropriation shall be limited according to the terms of the executive order. The Governor, in such cases, may make other and further orders as may be necessary or advisable in his discretion which orders shall become operative upon such service.
