SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall

President of the Senate

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 726.

This bill allows counties with excess monies generated from the
agricultural land transfer to deposit the excess in to the
county's Program Open Space account to acquire woodland.

House Bill 1385, which was passed by the General Assembly and
signed by me on May 25, 1989, accomplishes the same purpose.
Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 726.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Senate Bill No. 726

Agricultural Land Transfer Tax - Revenue Distribution
