Senate Bill No. 699 - Sexual Offenses — Evidence
AN ACT concerning
Rape and Sexual Offenses — Admissibility
of Evidence
FOR the purpose of limiting and in certain instances
excluding, in a trial for a rape or sexual offense
in any degree offenses in certain degrees, certain
evidence concerning a victim's chastity and evidence
of prior sexual conduct; establishing procedures to
determine the admissibility of this evidence; and
generally relating to the admissibility of evidence.
May 26, 1977
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
699.
This bill proscribes, in trials for rape or certain
sexual offenses, use of evidence about the chastity or
prior sexual conduct of the victim.
House Bill 1445, which was enacted by the General
Assembly, accomplishes the same purpose. At your
request, as a sponsor of the Senate Bill, House Bill 1445
was signed by Lieutenant Governor Blair Lee III in his
capacity as Acting Governor on May 17, 1977.
Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 699.
