The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 157.
This bill allows Harford County to impose a hotel rental tax of up to three percent, if the
County creates a Tourism Council. The bill also limits the County to an administrative
charge of five percent of collections, and requires an exemption from the tax for persons
in need sponsored by an eleemosynary organization.
House Bill 635, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 11,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 157.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
