SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
take effect July 1, 1987.

June 2, 1987
The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 864.

This bill delays the implementation of the requirement for
active practice in order to maintain a license to practice
nursing until July, 1989.

Senate Bill 693, 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 House Bill 864.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
