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 1394.

This bill would extend for two years the collection of the five cents per barrel fee on non-
heating oil to be used to fund the Underground Storage Tank Upgrade and Replacement
Fund. The bill would also require that, during the next two fiscal years only, up to $3.5
million in the tank upgrade and replacement fund be transferred to a new fund, the Oil
Contaminated Site Environmental Cleanup Fund.

The purpose of this new fund is to provide for the reimbursement of clean-up costs of
contamination caused by releases from an underground oil storage tank.

Senate Bill 649, 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 1394.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor
