The Honorable R. Clayton Mitchell, Jr.
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 422.

This bill would enact the NAIC Model Law governing reinsurance intermediaries, would
strengthen the law regarding acquisition of subsidiaries by insurers and the regulation of
extraordinary dividends, and would clarify the regulation of managing general agents.
This bill would also extend the existence of the Insurance Division until July 1, 2003.

Senate Bill 335, 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 House
Bill 422.
