HARRY HUGHES, Governor
3831
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 360.
This bill requires the Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene to set cleanliness and temperature standards for
maintaining shellfish or processed crabs that are transported by,
sold from, or stored in any vehicle for commercial purposes.
House Bill 407, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 28, 1985, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 360.
Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
Senate Bill No. 360
AN ACT concerning
Mobile Seafood Vendors - Health Standards and Location
FOR the purpose of providing that cleanliness standards enforced
by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that are

scope of this Act concerning the authority of a municipal
corporation; exempting charitable or nonprofit seafood
vendors at short-term festivals and events from certain
requirements of this Act; requiring that any vehicle from
which shellfish or processed crabs are sold for certain
purposes be capable of maintaining certain food temperatures
and that the shellfish and processed crabs being transported
or sold for certain purposes be maintained at a certain
temperature; exempting a harvester of shellfish who delivers
the shellfish to certain persons by certain methods from
certain requirements of this Act; prohibiting mobile seafood
vendors from operating in certain locations on, adjacent to,
or within the right-of-way of certain public thoroughfares;

State highways only under certain conditions; providing
