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 683 - Courts - Parent-Child Immunity - Motor Vehicle Torts.
This bill expands the abrogation of the doctrine of parent-child immunity in motor
vehicle torts up to the limits of motor vehicle liability coverage or uninsured motor
vehicle coverage.
House Bill 1081, 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 683.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 683
AN ACT concerning
Courts - Parent-Child Immunity - Motor Vehicle Torts
FOR the purpose of expanding the abrogation of the doctrine of parent-child
immunity in motor vehicle torts up to the limits of motor vehicle liability
coverage or uninsured motor vehicle coverage; providing for the application of
this Act; and generally relating to abrogation of the doctrine of parent-child
immunity in motor vehicle torts.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article — Courts and Judicial Proceedings
Section 5-806
Annotated Code of Maryland
(2002 Replacement Volume and 2004 Supplement)
