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 988 - State Board of Dental Examiners - Restructuring and Licensee
Protection. I have done so because, due to a technical error, the enrolled bill that
actually passed was not the version the General Assembly believed it enacted, and
thus it does not reflect legislative intent.
House Bill 988 as originally filed would have made substantial changes to the
operation of the State Board of Dental Examiners. As it moved through the House and
Senate, numerous amendments to the bill altered its scope significantly. An
inadvertent procedural error on sine die, however, resulted in the enactment of the
wrong set of amendments to the bill. The amendments that passed are not the
amendments that were adopted by the Senate Education, Health, and Environmental
Affairs Committee (EHEA) and described in the EHEA floor report. They are also not
the amendments with which the House Health and Government Operations
Committee believed it concurred, and that were described on the House floor before
the House concurred with the Senate amendments.

While I have vetoed the bill because it does not reflect legislative intent, I believe that
concerns about potential bias and inequities in the way the Board operates should be
