VETOES

May 19, 1981
The 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 654.

This bill establishes an Energy Saving Device Loan
Program in the Department of Economic and Community
Development for the purpose of making loans to property
owners to purchase energy saving devices.

Senate Bill 832, which was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 12, 1981, accomplishes the
same purpose.

Therefore it is unnecessary for me to sign House Bill
654.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 685

and the case is compromised pursuant to Section 37 of
Article 27 a certain provision of the Annotated Code.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,

Article 27 - Crimes and Punishments

Section 737

Annotated Code of Maryland

(1976 Replacement Volume and 1980 Supplement)

BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
