No action taken at any meeting of the authority shall have force or effect until the governor shall have an opportunity to approve or veto the same. 2. For the purpose of procuring such approval or veto, the authority shall by rule designate an officer of the authority to transmit to the governor at the executive chamber in Albany a certified copy of the minutes of every meeting of the authority as soon after the holding of such meeting as such minutes can be written out. The governor shall, within fifteen days after such minutes shall have been delivered to the executive chamber as aforesaid, cause the same to be returned to the authority either with his approval or with his veto of any action therein recited as having been taken, provided, however, that if the governor shall not return the said minutes within the said period then at the expiration thereof any action therein recited shall have full force and effect according to the wording thereof. 3. If the governor within the said period returns the said minutes with a veto against any action recited therein, then such action shall be null and void. 4. The governor may by order filed with the authority relieve the authority from the duty of procuring his approval of its action upon any particular matter or class of matters, and thereupon the authority shall be relieved from reporting the same to him.
