SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1986.

May 27, 1986
The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
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 331.

This bill provides that the Administrator of State Documents
shall refuse to publish a notice of adoption of a regulation, if
the regulation differs from the text previously published, unless
the Attorney General certifies there is no substantive change or
that it is not a new regulation.

Senate Bill 165, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 27, 1986, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 331.
