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 264 — Workers' Compensation - Evaluation of Permanent
Impairments.
This bill requires that a licensed psychologist or a qualified physician perform an
evaluation of only the mental or behavioral portion of a permanent impairment in a
workers' compensation case and report the results to the Workers' Compensation
Commission in accordance with the regulations of the Commission.
House Bill 384, 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 264.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 264
AN ACT concerning
Workers' Compensation - Evaluation of Permanent Impairments
FOR the purpose of requiring that a licensed psychologist or a qualified physician
perform an evaluation of only the mental or behavioral portion of a permanent
impairment in a workers' compensation case under certain circumstances;
requiring that the report of an evaluation in a case that involves a behavioral or
mental disorder be submitted to the Workers' Compensation Commission in
accordance with the regulations of the Commission; and generally relating to
the evaluation of a permanent impairment under workers' compensation law.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
- 3549 -
