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 398.

This bill alters the administrative sanctions for drunk driving
and the provisions relating to the refusal to take an alcohol
test. It also includes numerous procedural requirements for the
Motor Vehicle Administration and the new administrative license
suspension provision.

House Bill 556, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 19, 1989, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 398.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 398
