State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 340.
This bill increases the maximum penalty for a subsequent
offense of use of a handgun in the commission of a crime.
Senate Bill 175, 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 House Bill 340.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
House Bill No. 340
AN ACT concerning
Handgun Violations - Penalties
FOR the purpose of increasing the maximum penalty for a
subsequent offense of use of a handgun in the commission of
a crime; and clarifying language.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article 27 - Crimes and Punishments
Section 36B(d)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1982 Replacement Volume and 1982 Supplement)
