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 541 - Frederick County - Collective Bargaining - Representatives
for Deputy Sheriffs.
This bill authorizes the representatives of specified full-time deputy sheriffs in the
Frederick County Sheriffs Office to collectively bargain with the Sheriff of Frederick
County concerning wages and benefits, requires that any additional funding required
as a result of a negotiated agreement be subject to the approval of the County
Commissioners for Frederick County, and provides for the procedures for certifying a
labor organization as an exclusive representative and for collective bargaining
negotiations.
Senate Bill 352, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 541.
