SEC. 2.106. VETO OVERRIDE.
§ 2.106
The Board of Supervisors can override a mayoral veto by a two-thirds vote within 30 days, unless a different threshold is specified elsewhere in the Charter or unless Section 9.104 provides an exception.
If the Mayor vetoes something the Board of Supervisors passed, the Board can still make it happen anyway. They need to vote again within 30 days, and at least two-thirds of the Board members have to vote yes. If the rule that was vetoed normally requires more than two-thirds of the Board to pass in the first place, then you need that higher number to override the veto instead.
- Complex:The section contains multiple conditional clauses and cross-references (Sections 3.103 and 9.104) that require readers to consult other parts of the Charter to understand the full scope and exceptions.
