The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1245.

This bill establishes that students who are not residents of the
State or residents of the counties and who enroll in nursing
education at a community college are eligible to pay the same
rate of tuition and fees as county residents under certain
circumstances and are eligible for State aid.

Senate Bill 649, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 17, 1988, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House Bill 1245.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
