State House

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 467.

This bill expands the original jurisdiction of district
courts to include misdemeanor or felony violations of credit
card law.

House Bill 177, 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 467.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 467
