WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                          S.B. 77

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 77.

This emergency bill would extend the time period in which the Board of Social Work
Examiners can waive the examination requirements for license applicants.

House Bill 133, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 12,
1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 77.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

Social Workers - Waiver of Examination

worker-clinical license; making this Act an emergency measure; and generally
relating to waiver of examinations for social workers.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Health Occupations
