S.B. 849 VETOES
May 26, 2006
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 849 - Workers' Compensation - Civil Defense Volunteers -
Emergencies.
This bill provides that specified civil defense volunteers are covered employees under
specified circumstances; designates the State as the employer for these covered
employees; repeals specified provisions under workers' compensation law that
exclude workers' compensation coverage for specified volunteers from specified
counties; requires volunteers who are covered employees to meet specified
qualifications; establishes a specified formula for calculating specified benefits; and
defines specified terms.
House Bill 1005, 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 849.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 849

employees to meet certain qualifications; providing for certain administrative
requirements as a condition of receiving workers' compensation benefits;
establishing a certain formula for calculating certain benefits; defining certain
terms; providing for the application of this Act; and generally relating to covered
employment under workers' compensation law.
