SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
October 1, 1994.

May 26, 1994

The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.

President of the Senate

State House

Annapolis, Maryland 21401

Dear President Miller:                                                                                             

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 761.

Senate Bill 761 would prohibit a person from knowingly buying, selling, or transporting
for sale or profit any human remains or associated funerary objects, except under
specified circumstances.

House Bill 141, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 26,
1994, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 761.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

circumstances; providing certain exceptions; providing for the construction of this
Act; establishing a certain penalty; specifying that human remains and associated

State; defining a certain term, and generally relating to prohibiting certain persons
from trading in human remains and associated funerary objects under certain
circumstances.
