VETOES

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1792.

This bill reduces the period within which a report on
competency to stand trial must be completed when no plea of
insanity has been entered by a criminal defendant.

Senate Bill 873, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 27, 1980 accomplished the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
1792.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1813

AN ACT concerning

Gasoline Marketing Agreement - Termination
on Death of Dealer

FOR the purpose of providing that a distributor may

terminate a gasoline marketing agreement upon the death
of the dealer only if the distributor accords the
spouse certain rights on the death of a retail service
station dealer, the dealer's rights and duties under a
marketing agreement pass to the personal

representative.
