Section 17A of this article, each licensee shall allocate
during these years only an amount equal to .50 percent of
all money wagered to repayment of debt incurred for
construction of new grandstand facilities at the track.

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

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 1180.

This bill delays a scheduled tax increase on racetrack
wagering and extends the requirement that certain racetracks
allocate funds for track maintenance and improvement through
a certain year.

Senate Bill 683, 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 House Bill
1180.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
