VETOES

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 520.

This bill alters the period for waiving the requirements for
certifications as a professional counselor.

House Bill 284, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on April 29, 1987, accomplishes the same purpose,
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 520.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
