The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller
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 376.

This bill permits wholesale or retail establishments, other
than automobile dealerships, to conduct business on Sunday in
Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and
Howard Counties.

Senate Bill 322, which was passed by the General Assembly
and signed by me on May 14, 1987, applies to 21 jurisdictions in
the State, including those listed in Senate Bill 376. It has the
same legal effect for those counties named as Senate Bill 376.
However, in addition to losing the near-Statewide uniformity
provided by Senate Bill 322, the fines listed in Senate Bill 376
conflict with the fines listed in Senate Bill 322. For this
reason, Senate Bill 376 will not be signed.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
