Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1386.
This bill increases from 15 to 25 years the minimum period
of confinement which must be served before an individual
sentenced to life imprisonment for conviction for first degree
murder may be eligible for parole consideration.
Senate Bill 41, 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 1386.

|

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
House Bill No. 1386
AN ACT concerning
Parole Eligibility - Life Imprisonment Sentence
FOR the purpose of increasing providing the period of time a
person who has been sentenced to life imprisonment as a
result of a proceeding under Article 27, § 413 must serve in
jail before becoming eligible for parole; and making a
stylistic change.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article 41 - Governor - Executive and Administrative
Departments
Section 122(b)(1)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1978 Replacement Volume and 1982 Supplement)
|
