BLAIR LEE III, Acting Governor                        3181

Senate Bill 731 nor House Bill 1168 is signed, it is our
opinion that each of the other bills is constitutional and
legally sufficient.

Very truly yours,
Francis Bill Burch
Attorney General

House Bill No. 865 - Circuit Breaker — Filing of Late

Applications

AN ACT concerning

FOR the purpose of permitting late applications for the

under certain circumstances; requiring a statement to
accompany a late application; providing for review of
late applications; requiring written notice of the
acceptance or rejection of late applications; providing
for appeals from rejections of late applications;

renumbering; clarifying language; and generally

May 29, 1978
Honorable John Hanson Briscoe
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 865.

This bill permits certain late applications for elderly
and disabled real property tax credits.

House Bill 1168, which was      enacted by the General

Assembly and signed by me on May 2,      1978, creates a new

property tax credit program and      accomplishes the same
purpose of this bill.

In addition, the Attorney General has advised me that
House Bill 865 should not be signed if House Bill 1168 is
signed into law. A copy of the Opinion of the Attorney
General is attached and should be considered a part of this
veto message.
