S.B. 739

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 739.

This amended bill provides that an individual who voluntarily quits a part-time or
temporary job before losing a full-time job may not be disqualified from unemployment
insurance benefits the individual is eligible to receive relating to the individual's full-time
or primary employment.

House Bill 975, 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 739.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

employer certain claimants who voluntarily quit part-time employment and
subsequently become unemployed from full-time employment are not disqualified
for certain benefits relating to the full-time employment; and generally relating to
the effects of voluntarily quitting part-time employment under the Maryland
