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 539.

This bill extends the sunset provision for the Subsequent Injury Fund to make an
assessment of 6.5 percent of all awards rendered against an employer, the employer's
insurance carrier or the Injured Workers' Insurance Fund for the permanent disability or
death of an employee, or for certain settlement agreements.

House Bill 862, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 9,
1995, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 539.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
