BLAIR LEE III, Acting Governor

3125

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 558.

This bill authorizes a subtraction from federal
adjusted gross income for State income tax purposes of
certain household expenses and dependent care services.

Senate Bill 517, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed be me on April 11, 1978, accomplishes
the same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
558.

Sincerely,
Blair Lee III
Acting Governor
