WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                      H.B. 1315

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 1315.

This bill would temporarily exempt refueling equipment used to dispense clean fuels into
motor vehicles from property taxation.

Senate Bill 773, 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 1315.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

phasing-in of applicability of the property tax to the refueling equipment or
machinery beginning with a certain taxable year; defining a certain term; providing
for the applicability of this Act; and generally relating to an exemption from
property certain refueling equipment or machinery.
