This bill, as introduced, intended to limit the
exemptions from the provisions of the High-Voltage Line Act
by requiring that certain contractors working on high
voltage lines be experienced and have a reputation for
expertise in this particular type of work. However, the
bill was amended to add additional exemptions to the
High-Voltage Line Act which, in my view, will increase the
risk of accidental injury or death to Maryland workers from
electrocution because certain safety precautions required by
the High-Voltage Line Act might not be taken.
For these reasons, and with the agreement of the
sponsor, I have decided to veto Senate Bill 150.
