AN ACT concerning

Parole

FOR the purpose of creating the Maryland Parole
Commission and providing for its composition,
functions, and duties; abolishing the Maryland Board
of Parole; transferring certain staff; providing for
appointment of hearing examiners to assist the
Commission; specifying procedures for hearing of
certain cases for parole release by hearing
examiners and for review by the Commission;

May 17, 1976.
Honorable Steny H. Hoyer
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill
895.

This Administration bill creates the Maryland Parole
Commission and restructures certain parole procedures
used in this State.

House Bill 1888, which was the companion
Administration bill and achieves the same purpose as this
bill, was enacted by the General Assembly and signed by
me on May 17, 1976.

Therefore, it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 895.

Sincerely,
Marvin Mandel
Governor
