House Bill No. 1591

AN ACT concerning

Prince George's County - Employees of Sheriff
PG 329-79

FOR the purpose of providing that certain employees provided
for the Sheriff shall be subject to the County Labor
Code for collective bargaining purposes; prohibiting
certain interference into labor practices; immunizing
the County Executive from certain charges or actions;
and clarifying language altering certain training
requirements of certain employees of the Sheriff's
department; and making certain employees of the
Sheriff's department subject to the Personnel Laws of
the County.

May 29, 1979
Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
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 1591.

This bill provides that certain employees of the Prince
George's County Sheriff's office shall be subject to the
County Labor Code for collective bargaining purposes.

Senate Bill 499, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 14, 1979, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
1591.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1685
