Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. President:

I have today vetoed Senate Bill 376 and, in accordance with the
provisions of Article 2, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I
am returning the same to you along with my message concerning
this action.

On April 22 of this year, I received a letter from the Attorney
General, a copy of which is attached and to be considered a part of
this message, advising that in the opinion of that office, the bill was
unconstitutional. In light of this advice, I felt that I could not sign
the same into law.

With kindest regards, I am

Sincerely yours,

(S) J. MILLARD TAWES,

Governor.
