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 1116.

This bill would amend the law which governs the Community
Development Administration (CDA), and would authorize the
Administration to assist and work with nonprofit organizations.
It adds a new definition of "nonprofit organization" to Article
41, § 11-303(c-1) of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

I have today signed into law Senate Bill 665, a Departmental
bill which also amends the CDA law and adds a new definition of
"nonprofit organization." The definition in Senate Bill 665,
however, is placed at Article 41, § ll-303(r) of the Code and is
substantively broader from the definition added by House Bill
1116.

It is my understanding that House Bill 1116 was introduced
as a contingency in the event that Senate Bill 665 did not pass.
In addition, Senate Bill 665 is a far more comprehensive piece of
legislation, as it addresses numerous other subjects relating to
and under the jurisdiction of the CDA.

For these reasons, I have today vetoed House Bill 1116.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer
