The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 232 - Task Force on Assistance to Disabled Veterans Establishing
Small Businesses.
This bill establishes a Task Force on Assistance to Disabled Veterans Establishing
Small Businesses that will be staffed by the Board of Public Works. The bill specifies
the membership and duties of the Task Force, requires the Governor to appoint a
chair of the Task Force, and prohibits the members of the Task Force from receiving
compensation but authorizes specified reimbursement. The bill also requires the Task
Force to report to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 2005.
Senate Bill 319, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 232.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 232
