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 1250 - Natural Resources - Normative Oysters - Introduction.
This bill prohibits a person from introducing a nonnative oyster into State waters
without a permit from the Department of Natural Resources. It requires the
Department to satisfy specified conditions before introducing or before issuing a
permit to another person for an introduction and provides criminal and civil penalties
for those who violate the Act.
Senate Bill 405, 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 1250.
