Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 665.

This bill would extend certain consumer protections that
currently apply to new first mortgage loans to refinancing loans.

House Bill 1559, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 13, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 665.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 665

AN ACT Concerning

Consumer Protection - interest Rates on First
Refinanced Mortgages
