(a) Any person who drives or attempts to drive a motor
vehicle on a highway or on any private property that is used
by the public in general in this State is deemed to have
consented, subject to the provisions of §§ 10-302 through
10-309, inclusive, of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings
Article, to take a chemical test to determine the alcohol
content of his blood if he should be detained on suspicion
of driving or attempting to drive while intoxicated or while
under the influence of alcohol OR OF VIOLATING ARTICLE 27, §
388A OF THE CODE.

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

June 1, 1982
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 1305.

This bill amends Sec. 10-309 of the Courts and Judicial
Proceedings Article to provide that evidence a of chemical
analysis is not admissible in a prosecution for driving
while intoxicated or under the influence, "if obtained
contrary to...[the] provisions" of Subtitle 3 of Title 10 of
the Courts Article, but is not inadmissible for other
violations.

Senate Bill 383, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on May 3, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore it is not necessary for me to sign
House Bill 1305.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
