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 466.

This bill would allow the holders of Chesapeake Bay sport fishing special boat licenses to
fish anywhere in the tidewaters of the State, regardless of whether the boat owner is
fishing in the owner's boat. The Department of Natural Resources would be required to
issue a complementary Chesapeake Bay sport fishing license to such boat owners. If a
boat has more than one owner, only the person signing the special license application
would be entitled to the complementary license.

House Bill 520, 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 466.                                                                                           

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
