The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 1217 - Criminal Law - Credit Card Crimes - Use of Affidavit by
Credit Cardholder in Criminal Case or Juvenile Proceeding.
This bill authorizes in a criminal case or juvenile proceeding involving a violation of a
credit card crime the introduction of the affidavit of a lawful credit cardholder as
substantive evidence that the credit card or credit card number was taken, used, or
possessed without the authorization of the credit cardholder; and requires the State
to provide a specified notice to the defendant within a specified time period before a
specified proceeding.
Senate Bill 468, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1217.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1217
AN ACT concerning
Criminal Law - Credit Card Crimes - Use of Affidavit by Credit Cardholder
in Criminal Case or Juvenile Proceeding
FOR the purpose of authorizing in a criminal case or juvenile proceeding involving a
violation of certain credit card crimes the introduction of the affidavit of a lawful
credit cardholder as substantive evidence that the credit card or credit card
number was taken, used, or possessed without the authorization of the credit
cardholder; requiring the State to provide a certain notice to the defendant
within a certain time period before a proceeding in which the State intends to
introduce certain evidence; requiring the State to require the presence at the
proceeding of a certain affiant as a prosecution witness under certain
circumstances; and generally relating to the use of affidavits in criminal cases
and juvenile proceedings involving credit card crimes.
