SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
October 1, 1993.

May 27, 1993

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 483.

This bill would authorize the county commissioners of code home rule counties to
establish departments of public facilities and services to be responsible for various public
works projects including water supply projects and wastewater and solid waste collection
and treatment. Sewer or water authorities, or sanitary districts or commissions established
under prior law would be abolished, and the functions of those entities would be
transferred to the department established under new law.

Senate Bill 627, 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 483.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
