HARRY HUGHES, Governor                                     3947

This bill alters the number of individuals permitted in
certain apartments or sheltered housing for the elderly that is
certified by the Office on Aging.

House Bill 788, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 8, 1984, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 699.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Elderly Persons - Sheltered Housing
