Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution. I have today
vetoed House Bill 415.

This bill would establish the crime of carjacking and armed carjacking and provide that
conviction on the offense of carjacking or armed carjacking is a felony subject to
imprisonment for not more than 30 years. A sentence related to these offenses would be
consecutive to any other sentence imposed. The bill also would establish carjacking or
armed carjacking as a crime of violence.

Senate Bill 339, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 26,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 415.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
