 3 § 1853. Approval power of the governor and legislature. 1. No action
 4 taken at any meeting of the authority shall have force or effect until
 5 the governor, the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the
 6 assembly, the minority leader of the senate, and the minority leader of
 7 the assembly shall have an opportunity to approve or veto the same.
 8 2. For the purpose of procuring such approval or veto, the authority
 9 shall by rule designate an officer of the authority to transmit to the

 11 rary president of the senate at their Albany office, the speaker of the
 12 assembly at their Albany office, the minority leader of the senate at
 13 their Albany office, and the minority leader of the assembly at their
 14 Albany office a certified copy of the minutes of every meeting of the
 15 authority as soon after the holding of such meeting as such minutes can
 16 be written out. The governor, the temporary president of the senate, the
 17 speaker of the assembly, the minority leader of the senate and the
 18 minority leader of the assembly shall, within fifteen days after such

 20 said, cause the same to be returned to the authority either with [his]
 21 their approval or with [his] their veto of any action therein recited as
 22 having been taken, provided, however, that if the governor, the tempo-
 23 rary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, the minority
 24 leader of the senate, or the minority leader of the assembly shall not
 25 return the said minutes within the said period then at the expiration
 26 thereof any action therein recited shall have full force and effect
