HARRY HUGHES, Governor 4047
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 1087.
This bill increases the membership of the Patuxent River
Commission from 10 to 11 by adding the Secretary of Agriculture,
or a designee of the Secretary, and gives it the authority to
establish and abolish nonvoting memberships.
Senate Bill 480, 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 House Bill 1087.
Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
House Bill No. 1087

Patuxent River - Policy Plan and Commission

the development of an initial Plan; restating the effect of
the Plan; establishing procedures for the amendment of the
Plan; providing for the distribution of the Plan; providing
for continuing review of information on the Patuxent River
and its watershed; restating the duty of the Department of
State Planning to make and assist others in making certain
environmental assessments; indicating sources of funds and
staff for the Patuxent River planning program; modifying
provisions concerning annual reviews and reports; clarifying
the authority of principal departments of the State
government and the effect of the Patuxent River Commission
on that authority; adding the Secretary of Agriculture or a
designee of the Secretary as a member of the Patuxent River
Commission; providing for nonvoting members of the Patuxent
