ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor H.B. 1059
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 1059 - Criminal Procedure - Search and Seizure Warrants - Sealed
Affidavit.
This bill repeals a limitation on the applicability of provisions authorizing a court to
order that an affidavit presented in support of a search and seizure warrant be
sealed. It also authorizes a court to grant one 30-day extension of the time that an
affidavit presented in support of a search and seizure warrant is to remain sealed
under specified circumstances.
Senate Bill 475, 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 1059.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1059
AN ACT concerning

certain circumstances; increasing the time period for which a certain affidavit
may be sealed under certain circumstances; providing that a court may grant

sealed under certain circumstances; and generally relating to search and seizure
warrants.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
