WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

S.B. 291

May 27, 1993

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 291.

This bill would alter the funding mechanism for the Maryland Egg Inspection Program.
The bill would also increase and impose certain fees for the Egg Inspection Program.

House Bill 627, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 27,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 291.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
