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 386.

This bill provides residents of related institutions (nursing homes) with additional
protections for the resident's assets and the involuntary discharge of a resident. A related
institution must comply with specified requirements before involuntarily discharging a
resident. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is required to provide each
facility with a standardized form to notify a resident of any proposed discharge and to
adopt regulations specifying that the facility must provide the resident with an
opportunity for a hearing on the proposed discharge.

House Bill 343, which was passed by the General Assembly and will be signed by me on
May 25, 1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to
sign Senate Bill 386.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
