Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 191.

Senate Bill 191 would require Dorchester County landowners, with certain exceptions, to
give written notice of a land survey to all adjoining landowners. A landowner intending to
perform a land survey would have to send notice by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, or by personal delivery. If the return receipt was not returned within 10
days of its mailing, or the landowner was unable to make personal service, notice could be
made by mail to the address listed in the real property assessment records, and by placing
a notice in a conspicuous place within 25 feet of the adjoining land. In addition, if a plat
is drawn based on the survey, the bill would require the landowner to provide a signed
statement in an "owner's certificate" that the notice requirements have been met.
