VETOES

on the basis of a request from the Maryland Racing
Commission and for the same reasons given in this veto
message. Both of these bills deal with the testing of
horses for equine infectious anemia, a disease which has
caused problems in Maryland in prior years. At a time
when the Department of Agriculture has successfully
curtailed the problem by requiring testing for the
disease within a twelve month period prior to a sale
(House Bill 1627) or prior to entry into the State (House
Bill 1626), I do not wish to change that pattern of
success by mandating a six month test period. House
Bills 1626 and 1627 do so. They should be considered
together.

For these reasons, I have decided to veto House Bill
1627.

Sincerely,
Marvin Mandel
