The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 406 — Open Meetings Act - Administrative Function - Reporting
Requirement.
This bill renames the executive function exclusion under the Open Meetings Act as an
exclusion for administrative functions; and requires a public body that recesses an
open session to carry out an administrative function in a meeting that is not open to
the public to include specified information in the minutes of its next open session.
House Bill 698, which was passed by the General Assembly and allowed to go into
effect without my signature, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not
necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 406.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
