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.
