WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

This bill makes unpaid hotel rental tax in Worcester County a lien against the real and
personal property of the person owing the tax.

House Bill 1011, 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 712.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
