Honorable Harry Hughes
Governor of Maryland
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Re: House Bill 64
Dear Governor Hughes:
This is to advise you that we have reviewed for
constitutionality and legal sufficiency Senate Bill 850 and
House Bill 64, bills which amend Art. 81, § 12F-7 to extend
the local property tax credit for homeowners experiencing
assessment increases exceeding fifteen percent.
Senate Bill 850 extends this program for a seventh and
eighth year, i.e., 1983-1984 and 1984-1985, while House Bill
64 extends this program only for a seventh year, i.e.,
1983-1984. For the reasons we stated in our letter
reviewing House Bill 1049 of 1980, which extended this
program for a sixth year, Ch. 858, Laws of Maryland, 1980,
it is our view that these bills are of increasingly doubtful
constitutionality.
