VETOES

The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1387.

This bill alters the minimum amount of residents' money that
certain health care facilities shall safeguard without depositing
the money in an account.

Senate Bill 708, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 15, 1984, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1387.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1387

AN ACT concerning

Health Care Facilities - Property of Residents

FOR the purpose of altering the minimum amount of residents'
money that certain health care facilities shall safeguard
without depositing the money in an account; and altering the
amount of money the facility shall deposit in certain
circumstances.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,

Article - Health - General
Section 19-346(d)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1982 Volume and 1983 Supplement)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:

Article - Health - General

19-346.

(d) (1) Each facility shall have adequate safeguards for
property of a resident that is entrusted to the facility.
