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 985.

This bill authorizes local health departments to use either the state procurement system
or the procurement system of the county in which the local department is located, if
authorized by the principal executive or legislative body in accordance with local
ordinances.

Senate Bill 321, 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 985.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 985

Procurement by - Local Health Departments

FOR the purpose of exempting authorizing a local health department from certain State
procurement laws under certain circumstances; and generally relating to
procurement by a local health department to use either the State procurement
system or a county procurement system under certain circumstances.

BY adding to

Article—Health—General
