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 474 — Health Occupations - State Board of Examiners in Optometry
- Scope of Practice.
This bill authorizes therapeutically certified optometrists to administer and prescribe
specified pharmaceutical agents. Moreover, Senate Bill 474 authorizes
therapeutically certified optometrists to administer or prescribe topical steroids in
accordance with a specified practice protocol.
House Bill 719, 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 474.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 474
AN ACT concerning

exempting certain optometrists from certain requirements; authorizing certain
optometrists to administer and prescribe certain pharmaceutical agents;
authorizing certain optometrists to remove certain residual particulate matter
with an alger brush; authorizing certain optometrists to order certain laboratory
