Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 374.

This bill, excluding reinsurance, workmen's compensation, or
surety, specifies 6 unfair claim settlement practices that are
prohibited by an insurer or nonprofit health service plan. It
further lists 14 actions of an insurer or nonprofit health plan
that are prohibited as unfair claims settlement practices if
committed as a pattern of violations.
