The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 162 - Wicomico County - Alcoholic Beverages - Dispensary Reserve
Fund.
This bill alters the reserve fund established in Wicomico County to provide working
capital and meet any losses in the operation of the county alcoholic beverages
dispensaries and makes the reserve fund subject to the approval of the Wicomico
County Council. This bill also repeals the maximum limit for the reserve fund, repeals
exclusions from the reserve fund, and requires that net profits be paid to Wicomico
County on specified dates.
