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 1670.

This bill prohibits the State or any agency of the
State from entering certain leases or contracts relating to
facilities financed by certain revenue bonds without the
authorization of the Legislative Policy Committee and the
Board of Public Works.

Senate Bill 215, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982 accomplishes the
same purpose as part of a comprehensive revision of the law
authorizing the subdivisions and industrial development
authorities to issue revenue bonds to construct various
buildings and facilities.

For that reason, I have decided to veto House Bill
1670.
