MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                        2833

Senate Bill 148, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 17, 1976, accomplishes
the same purpose. In addition, Senate Bill 148 amends
Section 29(d) of Article 81 of the Code to make it
consistent with the language of the new section which
authorizes these alternate hearing dates and times.

Since the purpose of House Bill 1196 is accomplished
by the enactment and signing of Senate Bill 148, and
since Senate Bill 148 makes a further clarifying charge
in the law, I have decided to veto House Bill 1196.

Sincerely,
Marvin Mandel
Governor

provisions relating to structure, reorganization,
management, and exercise of the powers of corporations
and other entities. In doing so, Senate Bill 235 also
imposes requirements for expiration on corporations with
