H.B. 120

VETOES

provides that a former member of the State Commission who is elected to life
membership in the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws is an
ex officio member of the State Commission.

Senate Bill 132, 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 House
Bill 120.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
