The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 863 — Maryland Service Contracts and Consumer Products
Guaranty Act.
The bill changes the name of the "Maryland Consumer Products Guaranty Act" to the
"Maryland Service Contracts and Consumer Product Guaranty Act." It applies to a
provider of a service contract the legal mandates applicable to a guarantor of a
consumer product guaranty.
Senate Bill 543, 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 863.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 863

products applicable to service contracts; requiring service contracts to be in

circumstances; requiring a provider of a service contract to pay or credit the
account of a certain person who has canceled a service contract a certain amount
under certain circumstances; requiring a provider of a service contract to fulfill
obligations under the service contract at a certain time and for a certain
duration; providing that a service contract is extended automatically under
certain circumstances; requiring a provider to provide a certain explanation of

circumstances; providing that certain duties of a provider may not be imposed
