The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 46 - Statewide Commission on the Crisis in Nursing - Study of the
Use of Technology to Assist Nurses in Caring for Patients.
This bill requires the Statewide Commission on the Crisis in Nursing to develop
recommendations on identifying a technology driven point of care application. This is
done in consultation with an individual with expertise in technology driven point of
care applications, to maximize nursing productivity and increase the quality of
patient care and to improve the work environment infrastructure in health care
facilities.
House Bill 590, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 46.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
Senate Bill No. 46
AN ACT concerning
Task Force to Statewide Commission on the Crisis in Nursing - Study of the
Use of Technology to Assist Nurses in Caring for Patients
FOR the purpose of establishing a Task Force to Study the Use of Technology to Assist
Nurses in Caring for Patients; specifying the membership and duties of the Task
Force; providing for the appointment of a chairperson of the Task Force;
providing for staffing of the Task Force; providing for meetings of the Task
Force; prohibiting a member of the Task Force from receiving certain
compensation; authorizing a member of the Task Force to receive
reimbursement for certain expenses; requiring the Task Force to report to the
Governor and the General Assembly on or before a certain date; providing for
the termination of this Act; and generally relating to the establishment of a Task
Force to Study the Use of Technology to Assist Nurses in Caring for Patients
requiring the Statewide Commission on the Crisis in Nursing to identify a
technology driven point of care application, in consultation with an individual
with expertise in technology driven point of care applications, to accomplish
certain goals; and generally relating to the Statewide Commission on the Crisis
in Nursing and the use of technology in nursing.
BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
