This bill provides that criteria for awarding
alimony, alimony pendente lite, and counsel fees are
applicable to both spouses.

House Bill 829, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 4, 1976, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore, it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 180.

Sincerely,
Marvin Mandel
Governor
