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 740.
This bill prescribes cases in which attorney's fees,
recoverable by law or contract, are not to be included when
determining the exclusive original civil jurisdiction of the
District Court.
Senate Bill 322, 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
House Bill 740.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Annotated Code of Maryland
