VETOES

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1675.

This bill clarifies State law restrictions on contraband in
correctional facilities and other objects that might be used for
escape.

Senate Bill 353, 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 House Bill 1675.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1675

penal institutions of intoxicating beverages, things of
value, controlled dangerous substances, and objects intended
to effect escape; prohibiting the delivery or procurement
for the purpose of delivery of certain contraband materials
to prisoners or inmates legally detained or confined in a
correctional facility; prohibiting the deposit or concealing
of certain contraband materials in or about a correctional
facility; prohibiting the delivery or possession with intent
to deliver to prisoners of certain contraband; prohibiting
the deposit or concealment in a correctional facility of
certain contraband; prohibiting the receipt of certain
contraband; defining certain terms; providing certain
