The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 604.

This bill provides that the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) cannot issue a
certificate of title if the applicant fails to furnish information or documents required by
statute or regulations adopted by the MVA.

Senate Bill 296, 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 House
Bill 604.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 604
