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 579 — Pilot Program to Study and Improve Screening Practices for
Autism Spectrum Disorders.
This bill establishes a Pilot Program to Study and Improve Screening Practices for
Autism Spectrum Disorders in the Department of Education. House Bill 579 also
requires the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene, to select and establish relationships with specified
providers to participate in the Pilot Program, assess and identify autism spectrum
disorders screening instruments, and develop training materials and distribute
written information on early detection of autism spectrum disorders.
Senate Bill 834, 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 579.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
