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 556 — State Budget - Funding for Circuit Court Law Clerks.
This bill repeals a requirement that counties reimburse the Administrative Office of
the Courts a specified percentage of the salary and other expenses relating to
employing law clerks for circuit court judges.
House Bill 985, 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 556.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 556
AN ACT concerning
State Budget - Funding for Crime Laboratory and for Circuit Court Law
Clerks
FOR the purpose of repealing a requirement that certain payments to subdivisions
and municipalities related to law enforcement be reduced by a certain amount;
repealing certain definitions relating to the calculation of the amount by which
a certain payment to subdivisions and municipalities related to law enforcement
be reduced; repealing a requirement that counties reimburse the Administrative
Office of the Courts a certain percentage of the salary and other expenses
relating to employing law clerks for circuit court judges; repealing a
requirement that certain payments from counties be placed in a special fund
and used to provide funds to employ law clerks for circuit court judges; repealing
a requirement that the Comptroller withhold certain amounts from certain
county income tax and make certain payments to the Administrative Office of
the Courts under certain circumstances; requiring that money in a certain fund
on a certain date may only be used to provide funds to employ law clerks for
circuit court judges; requiring the Comptroller to withhold a certain tax from a
county or Baltimore City if the Administrative Office of the Courts certifies that
the county or Baltimore City is in arrears in paying the amounts due under
certain provisions of law and to distribute the money to the Administrative
Office of the Courts in a certain amount; and generally relating to the funding
for the Crime Laboratory for the State Police and funding for circuit court law
