Honorable Marvin Mandel
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Section 17 of Article II of the Maryland
Constitution, I have vetoed today House Bill 22 and am returning it
to you.

The State Retirement Systems now provide accidental disability
retirement benefits for an employee disabled during job-related
activities if he is under 60 years of age. If the employee is 60 years
old or older, lie is not entitled to the benefits, but may retire under
standard retirement provisions. This bill would remove the age
limitation on accidental disability retirement.

Almost certainly, the original reasoning behind the age limitation
in the present law involved the view that elderly persons are generally
more accident-prone and subject to total disability. I do not subscribe
