President of the Senate

Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 530.
This bill prohibits political subdivisions or the
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene from taking
regulatory measures to prohibit trapshooting, skeetshooting
or other target shooting between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and
midnight on any range or other property of a shooting sports
club that is chartered and in operation as of July 1, 1982.
The prohibition against regulatory action does not apply if
such a shooting club moves to a parcel of land that is not
contiguous to the location of the club on July 1, 1982.
Current regulations of the Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene provide an exemption from its general noise
standards for sporting events occurring between 7:00 a.m.
and midnight provided that all requirements of the local
jurisdiction are met. These regulations, in my view,
properly reflect deference to local community concerns
related to noise control. As communities expand and houses
are developed closer to these shooting ranges, it is
important that a local jurisdiction have the authority to
impose noise controls, as the circumstances require, so as
to protect the public's health and welfare.
