Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis. Maryland 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 421.

This bill would establish Maryland's Building Performance Standards based on the
Building Officials and Code Administrators National Code.

Senate Bill 337, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 11,
1993, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 421.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
