obligations existing between the insured and insurer.
Moreover, we notice that the Bill is described as limiting
"payment" of uninsured motorist coverage, while the
substance of the Bill transfers "coverage" for claims made
against insolvent insurers from the claimant's insurer to
MIGA. Maryland Constitution Article III, Section 29,
requires that all laws enacted in this state "shall embrace
but one subject, and that shall be described in its title" -
Senate Bill No. 653 appears to violate this constitutional
requirement.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions
you may have in regards to this Bill. Thank you for your
time and consideration of this matter.

Very truly yours,

Senate Bill No. 688

AN ACT concerning

Sales Tax - Residential Utilities -
Automatic Termination

FOR the purpose of repealing the automatic termination
provision of the retail sales tax exemption for sales
of certain residential utilities.

May 27, 1980
Honorable James Clark, Jr.
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 688.

This bill repeals the automatic termination provision
of the retail sales tax exemption for sales of certain
residential utilities.

House Bill 620, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 20, 1980 accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill
688.
