ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor S.B. 385
vetoed Senate Bill 385 - Assisted Living Program Facilities - Emergency Electrical
Power Generator.
This bill requires the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to require facilities
offering assisted living program services to have an emergency electrical power
generator on the premises; provides for the power and system requirements of the
emergency power generator; requires a facility to conduct a monthly test of the
emergency power generator; requires an emergency power system to provide lighting
to specified areas in a facility; and requires emergency electrical power to be provided
to specified areas and equipment.
House Bill 204, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 385.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
