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 714 - Education - Residential Boarding Education Programs -
At-Risk Youth.
This bill authorizes the establishment of residential boarding education programs to
be operated under the supervision of the State Department of Education. It requires
the program operator to conduct outreach programs; and requires the Board of
Trustees to submit to the Department on or before July 1 each year information
regarding the program, including the students who participate and budget
information.
House Bill 1432, 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 714.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
