The Honorable Melvin A. Steinberg
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 700.

This bill requires that a subpoena concerning a credit card
account and sent to the card-issuing entity must certify that the
account holder was served the subpoena by the party requesting
the subpoena or that service was waived by the court for good
cause.

House Bill 75, 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 700.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

Senate Bill No. 700
