HARRY HUGHES, Governor 2373
Motor Vehicles Administration by the police officer within 72
hours after detention of the individual.
House Bill 830, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 24, 1983, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 506.
Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
