Letter from State Law Department on H. B. 393

April 18, 1968.
Honorable Spiro T. Agnew
Governor of Maryland
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Governor Agnew:

In our opinion, the title to House Bill 393 is defective, and the
Bill is thus unconstitutional.

After its introduction in the House, the Bill was amended so as
to increase the maximum amount payable of unemployment benefits
and allowances for dependents from $50.00 to $56.00 in any one
benefit week. The title to the Bill was not amended to reflect the
additional provision made after its introduction.

We call to your attention that a veto of House Bill 393 will not
defeat the intended amendments to Section 3(c) of Article 95A of
the Annotated Code of Maryland since the provisions of this Bill
are also embodied in House Bill 917 which has been passed by the
Legislature and will be presented to you for your signature.

Very truly yours,

(s) Francis B. Burch,

Attorney General.

House Bill No. 403—Calvert County—Registration

AN ACT to repeal and re-enact, with amendments, Section 3-2
(a) of Article 33 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1967 Replace-
ment Volume and 1967 Supplement), title "Elections," subtitle
"Registration of Voters—General Provisions" to change the days of
voter registration in Calvert County.

May 7, 1968.

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

Dear Mr. Speaker:
