WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        H.B. 813

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
July 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 813.

This bill would repeal the elimination of direct payment permits for vendors who had
such permits before July 1, 1993.

Senate Bill 501, 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 813.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
