The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates

Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 354 which attempted
to address the need to redraw and clarify State and local
jurisdictional responsibilities for the housing of prisoners.
While my Administration actively supported the policy direction
contained in House Bill 354, an amendment adopted on the final
day of the 1985 Session seriously flawed the bill by both
significantly increasing State fiscal exposure above that
intended and concurrently reducing local incentives to construct
new detention facilities. The enrolled bill contains serious
interpretative problems as stated by Attorney General Sachs in
the bill review letter to me, dated May 24, 1985 (copy attached),
and can only lead to confusion among sentencing judges.

Under current law, a prisoner may not be assigned to the
State Division of Correction having a sentence of less than 90
days. There is not presently a maximum limitation for a prisoner
