SECTION 2 4. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect July 1, 1988.

May 27, 1988

The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 320.

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene to
adopt regulations governing certain medical laboratories, and
requires that the regulations include restrictions and
requirements with respect to practices of cytotechnologists,
cytopathologists, and cytology laboratories.

House Bill 1293, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 27, 1988, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 320.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
