The Honorable James Clark, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 926.
Two bills presented to me for signature - Senate Bill
926 and House Bill 1596 - provide public assistance benefits
to pregnant women. Both bills have the commendable goal of
seeking to ensure that low-income pregnant women have the
resources to meet basic nutritional, health and subsistence
needs. These bills originated in an effort to offset
through State funding those provisions of the Federal
Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981 which eliminated certain
benefits to pregnant women under the Federal Aid to Families
with Dependent Children (AFDC) Program.
Prior to the enactment of the Omnibus Reconciliation
Act, states had the option of providing federally-matched
AFDC benefits to a pregnant woman and her anticipated child
upon medical verification of pregnancy. Maryland exercised
this option and provided such coverage. However, under the
Omnibus Reconciliation Act, states no longer may provide any
pregnancy-related AFDC benefits during the first 5 months of
pregnancy; additionally, benefits previously available to
the mother and the anticipated child during the last four
months are available only to the pregnant woman who is not
already receiving AFDC.
Senate Bill 926 seeks to provide State-only funded
benefits in the place of federally-funded benefits during
both the first 5 months and the last 4 months of pregnancy.
