SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall

May 29, 1984
The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1093.

This bill authorizes the County Commissioners of Washington
County to adopt a pension plan for volunteer fire and rescue
personnel based on length of service.

House Bill 1093 provides that "this Act shall take effect

July 1, 1984 contingent on the taking effect of Chapter ____ of

the Acts of 1984 (House Bill 590 or Senate Bill 582), and if

Chapter ____ does not become effective, this Act is null and void

without the necessity of further action by the General Assembly."
Since neither of these bills was passed by the General Assembly,
it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1093.

Sincerely,
