MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                       1811

I was informed by the sponsor of the Bill, Delegate Friedman,
that this provision was intended to be applicable to an employee
having both a full time and part time job who is injured in the course
of the latter employment. However, as drafted, the provision also
encompasses the employee who has a part time job only. For ex-
ample, under it, a student who works in a drugstore on Saturdays
only and has no other employment would, if injured in the course of
his employment, receive workmen's compensation benefits as if he
were a full time employee. His benefits could well exceed his weekly
salary by a substantial amount.

The State Accident Fund has requested that I veto the Bill
because it will require employers to pay insurance premiums on
part time employees as though they were working full time. In the
view of the Fund, this Bill will be quite damaging to small employers
such as drug stores, grocery stores and service stations. The sponsor
of the Bill, Delegate Freidman, has informed me that, because the
Bill goes further than intended, he has no objection to vetoing it. Con-
sequently, I am complying with the State Accident Fund's request
to veto House Bill 1033.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.

House Bill No. 1179—Jurors in Kent County

AN ACT to repeal Section 370 and to repeal and re-enact, with
amendments, Sections 371 and 375 of the Code of Public Local Laws of
Kent County (1968 Edition, being Article 15 of the Code of Public
Local Laws of Maryland), title "Kent County," subtitle "Jurors,"
repealing an obsolete section of the law relating to jurors in Kent
County and deleting references to this section.

May 28, 1969.

Honorable Thomas Hunter Lowe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1179 and am returning
it to you.

This Bill repeals one Section and repeals and re-enacts with
amendments two other Sections of the Code of Public Local Laws
of Kent County relating to the selection of jurors.

Senate Bill 637, which was enacted by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 2, 1969, enacts uniform statewide provisions
relating to the selection of jurors and repeals all inconsistent laws,
including public local laws. Because of the conflict between the two
Bills, and because the enactment of Senate Bill 637 renders House
Bill 1179 unnecessary, I have decided to veto House Bill 1179.

Sincerely,
/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
