The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 338.

This bill prevents the clerk of the court from charging a municipality real property
recording fees unless the municipality first gives its consent to be charged.

House Bill 976, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
29, 1990, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 338.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 338

AN ACT concerning

Real Property - Recording Costs

FOR the purpose of providing that a clerk of court may not charge any municipality
certain recording fees relating to real property unless the municipality first gives
its consent to be charged.
