VETOES

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, today I have vetoed Senate Bill 646.

This bill changes the State's method of appropriating
funds to the counties for pupil transportation and provides
for a substantial reduction of State restrictions on local
policy decisions relating to the delivery of this service.

House Bill 1172, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 19, 1981, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign Senate Bill
646.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 666

AN ACT concerning

Washington College Loan Act of 1978 -
Increase in State Debt Authorized

FOR the purpose of amending Section 1 of Chapter 1018 of the
Acts of the General Assembly of 1978 to alter the total
authorization of the State Debt for the purpose of the
renovation and modification of a central heating
distribution system on the campus of Washington
College; providing that no part of the equal and
matching funds provided by Washington College for the
same purpose may be provided from certain sources or
consist of certain property or contributions; and
extending the date by which Washington College must
provide at least an equal and matching fund for the
same purpose.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,

Chapter 1018 of the Acts of the General Assembly of
1978

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That chapter(s) of the Acts of the General
