Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 402.

This bill provides that a county board of education, a
community college and a regional community colleges, with
approval of its county governing body or governing bodies, will
be considered a county or municipality for the purpose of
becoming self-insured for workmen's compensation under the county
or counties' self-insured group.

House Bill 428, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 14, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 402.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 402
