VETOES

The Honorable Melvin A. Steinberg

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 319.

This bill exempts the leased farming implements of a farmer
from State, county, and certain municipal corporation personal
property valuation and taxation.

House Bill 117, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on April 9, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 319.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 319

AN ACT concerning

Personal Property Tax - Exemption -Leased Farming Implements

FOR the purpose of exempting the leased farming implements of a
farmer from State, county, and certain municipal corporation
personal property valuation and taxation; providing for the
retroactive application and effect of this Act; providing
for the effective date of this Act; and generally relating
to the personal property taxation of farming implements.
