S.B. 297

VETOES

SECTION 2. 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That, subject to the
provisions of Section 2 of this Act, this Act shall take effect October 1, 1995.

May 24, 1995

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 297.

This bill establishes prerequisites which must be met by a lien holder in order for the
Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to issue a free and clear title to a purchaser of a
motor vehicle or mobile home sold by the lien holder at public sale. The holder of the lien
must submit to the MVA a completed application for a certificate of title with copies or
evidence of specified information.

House Bill 606, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 18,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 297.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 297

with the title application; and generally relating to the public sale of a motor vehicle
or mobile home subject to a lien.
