VETOES

Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill
320.

This bill requires a governmental agency, before
undertaking any public or publicly assisted project, and
before granting any approval, funding or license to any
private project, to take into account the effect of that
project on any historic resource and prior to approval to
afford the Maryland Historical Trust sixty days in which
to comment.

The Department of State Planning has established,
through its clearinghouse procedure, an expedited
mechanism whereby all publicly assisted projects are
reviewed by those agencies which may be affected as well
as by the Maryland Historical Trust. In addition, Senate
Bill 810 enacted by the General Assembly and signed by me
on May 15, 1975 creates a consolidated permit procedure
to expedite agency action on certain private as well as
public permit applications.

Senate Bill 320 would create an additional mechanism
which may serve to delay existing project approval
procedures.

Consequently, I have decided to veto Senate Bill
320.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel
