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 464 — State Government - Energy Efficiency Standards.
This bill alters the minimum efficiency standards for specific products and repeals
certain minimum efficiency standards for specified products. It authorizes the
Maryland Energy Administration to limit certain delays and requires the
Administration to adopt procedures for testing the energy efficiency of new products
by rule, after public notice and comment. Finally, Senate Bill 464 authorizes
manufacturers who make specified certifications in other states to use the same
certifications in Maryland under specified circumstances.
House Bill 1030, 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 464.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 464
AN ACT concerning
State Government - Energy Efficiency Standards Technical Corrections
FOR the purpose of altering certain minimum efficiency standards for certain

authorizing the Maryland Energy Administration to limit certain delays for
certain categories of products; requiring the Administration to adopt certain
procedures by rule after notice and comment; authorizing certain
manufacturers who make certifications in other states based on standards that
are equal to or more stringent than the standards in Maryland to use the same
certification in Maryland that was used in other states under certain
circumstances; providing for the application of certain labeling requirements;
requiring certain labels on certain products; setting forth the effective date for
the implementation of certain efficiency standards; providing for a delayed
effective date for certain labeling requirements; defining certain terms; altering
certain terms; and generally relating to energy efficiency standards.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
