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 709 - Libraries - County Library Capital Project Grants.
This bill establishes a grant program in the State Department of Education to assist
in the funding of county library capital projects; requires the Division of Library
Development and Services in the Department to develop and administer the program;
requires a grant application to contain specified information; requires the State
Board of Education to approve specified projects by a specified date; and requires the
Governor to fund the program.
House Bill 1380, 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 709.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 709
AN ACT concerning

contain certain information and meet certain conditions; requiring that certain
grants meet certain conditions; requiring the Division to review grant
applications and make certain recommendations by a certain date; requiring the
Division to consider certain information; requiring the State Board of Education
to approve certain projects by a certain date; requiring certain projects to be
forwarded to the Department of Budget and Management; requiring the
Governor to include certain funding for the program; requiring the State Board
to submit certain reports; requiring the State Board to adopt certain
regulations; defining certain terms; and generally relating to a State grant
