SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect July 1, 1982.

June 1, 1982
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 855.

This bill extends the time from 7 to 15 days in which a
motion may be filed for a rehearing following the date of
the decision of the Workmen's Compensation Commission.

House Bill 1399, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 855.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
