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 235 - Governor's Emergency Powers.
This emergency Administration bill enables the Governor to immediately assume
emergency powers in the event of a threat or occurrence of any enemy attack, act of
terrorism or public health catastrophe. State and local law enforcement officers and
health officers must execute and enforce orders, rules and regulations made by the
Governor in response to these emergency situations, the Governor's ability to
delegate emergency management powers is expanded. The Secretary of Health and
Mental Hygiene is granted additional authority to take actions to prevent diseases
that endanger public health.
House Bill 303, 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 235.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
