Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 838 - Public Safety Employees Killed in Performance of Duties -
Death Benefits - Heart Attack or Stroke.
This bill provides that a specified individual who dies from a heart attack or stroke
shall be presumed to have died in the performance of duties under specified
circumstances.
House Bill 1276, 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 838.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
Senate Bill No. 838
AN ACT concerning
Public Safety Employees Killed in Performance of Duties - Death Benefits -
Heart Attack or Stroke
FOR the purpose of altering the amount of the death benefit for certain individuals
who are killed or die in the performance of duties; providing that an a certain
individual who dies from a heart attack or stroke shall be presumed to have died
in the performance of duties under certain circumstances; clarifying a certain
term; and generally relating to death benefits for employees killed in the
performance of duties.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Public Safety
Section 1-202
Annotated Code of Maryland
(2003 Volume and 2004 Supplement)
