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 1450 - Agriculture - Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund
and Council - Establishment.
This bill establishes a Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund and Maryland
Wine and Grape Promotion Council. It establishes specified eligible activities that can
be paid for by the Fund and gives the Board of Public Works the final approving
authority on grants from the Fund.
Senate Bill 566, 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 1450.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1450
AN ACT concerning
Agriculture - Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund and Council -

FOR the purpose of establishing a Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund for
certain purposes; establishing a Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Council;
providing for the membership of the Council; requiring the Council to make
certain recommendations to the Board of Public Works regarding certain grants;
requiring certain alcohol tax proceeds on wine sold in the State be distributed to
the Fund; establishing the Department of Agriculture as the holder of the Fund
for certain administrative purposes; authorizing certain deductions by the
Department for administering the Fund; establishing certain eligible activities
paid for by the Fund; establishing the Board of Public Works as the final
approving authority on grants from the Fund; and generally relating to the
Maryland Wine and Grape Promotion Fund and the Maryland Wine and Grape
Promotion Council.
BY adding to
