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 408.

Senate Bill 408 would prohibit the consumption of alcohol in Baltimore City between 2
a.m. and 6 a.m. in any public place at which setups or other alcoholic beverage mixers are
sold. Essentially, the bill intends to illegalize "after hour" clubs in Baltimore City.

Senate Bill 877 incorporates the provisions of Senate Bill 408 in addition to clarifying the
definition of "arena" found in Baltimore City's alcoholic beverage laws. Since Senate Bill
408 duplicates Senate Bill 877, I am vetoing Senate Bill 408.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
