Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1298.                     

This bill would increase the number of racing days the Racing Commission is allowed to
award and would increase the total number of racing days.

Senate Bill 449, 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 House
Bill 1298.

Sincerely,

William Donald Schaefer

Governor

House Bill No. 1298

AN ACT concerning

Harness Racing - Maximum Racing Days

FOR the purpose of altering the maximum number of racing days the Maryland Racing
Commission may award in a calendar year to each harness racing licensee
