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 1374 - Baltimore City - Redemption of Ground Rents - Abandoned
or Distressed Property.
This bill establishes that when the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City
condemn specified property that is subject to a redeemable ground rent, the City
becomes the tenant of the ground rent and requires a tenant seeking to redeem a
ground rent on abandoned or distressed property subject to condemnation in
Baltimore City to pay specified back rent and provide an affidavit to the State
Department of Assessments and Taxation.
Senate Bill 322, 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 1374.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1374
AN ACT concerning
Baltimore City - Redemption of Ground Rents - Abandoned or Distressed
Property
FOR the purpose of establishing that when the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore
City condemns certain abandoned or distressed property that is subject to a
redeemable ground rent, the City becomes the tenant of the ground rent;
requiring a tenant seeking to redeem a ground rent on certain abandoned or
distressed property subject to condemnation in Baltimore City to pay certain
back rent and provide a certain affidavit to the State Department of
Assessments and Taxation under certain circumstances; authorizing a landlord
of certain property in Baltimore City whose ground rent has been redeemed to
file a certain claim with a certain the Baltimore City unit of government
Director of Finance to collect certain amounts under certain circumstances;
making stylistic changes; and generally relating to the redemption of certain
ground rents in Baltimore City.
