SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect July 1, 1981.

May 19, 1981
The 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 9.

This bill alters the method by which the names of
candidates for President of the United States are placed on
the primary election ballot.

Senate Bill 9 and House Bill 149 include provisions to
change, although in a different manner, the time period
within which candidates for the Office of President of the
United States may withdraw their names as candidates for
nomination.

House Bill 149, which was signed by me today, makes
additional changes in the Election Code that will be
applicable to the 1982 primary election. Since these
provisions of House Bill 149 are needed at this time and
because sufficient time remains to resolve the discrepancies
between Senate Bill 9 and House Bill 149 before the 1984
election when the provisions pertaining to the Presidential
election would be applicable, I have decided to veto Senate
Bill 9, with the consent of the sponsor.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
