EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

June 1,1973.

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

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Constitution,
I have today vetoed Senate Bill 954.

This bill enacts a new general financial responsibility law relating to the
operation of motor vehicles. It also deletes those parts of Article 66˝, Sec-
tions 6-107 and 6-108, which provide that the negligence of a minor when
driving a motor vehicle shall be imputed to the parent or guardian who
signs the minor's application for a driver's license, unless there is deposited
with the Motor Vehicle Administration, on the minor's behalf, proof of
financial responsibility.

These deletions, as contained in Senate Bill 954, are virtually identical
to those contained in House Bill 691 passed by the 1969 General Assembly,
which I vetoed on May 21, 1969, and Senate Bill 758 passed by the 1970
