VETOES

This bill would allow Baltimore City to continue to use its highway user revenues for
public school transportation in FY 1991 and 1992.

Senate Bill 518, 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
House Bill 137.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

House Bill No. 137

highway user revenues distributed to Baltimore City are authorized to be used to
pay or finance students' costs of certain public school transportation; and
generally relating to the use in Baltimore City of highway user revenues for public
school transportation.
