26                       JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS                         [Jan. 6

from assessment and taxation in Anne Arundel County. In addition, the draftsman of the bill has erroneously designated January 1, 1969 as the beginning of the taxable year, when under Section 29A(b) of Article 81, the Legislature has specified that beginning July 1, 1966, for every county in the State the taxable year is the period which starts on July 1 in each year.

I, therefore, respectfully recommend that you veto House Bill No. 807.

We call to your attention the fact that legislation in proper legal form, if enacted at the next session of the General Assembly, will still be timely, so as to exempt the stocks in question from taxation for the fiscal year beginning 1970, as is contemplated by the present bill.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Francis B. Burch, Attorney General.
