The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.

Speaker of the House of Delegates

Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1114.

This bill expands the list of offenses for which a judge may order an affidavit supporting
a search and seizure warrant to be sealed to include the various forms of murder.

Senate Bill 618, 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 House Bill 1114.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 1114

AN ACT concerning

Criminal Law - Search Warrants

FOR the purpose of adding the various forms of murder to the list of specified offenses
for which an affidavit in support of a search and seizure warrant may be sealed for
a certain number of days for good cause shown.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article 27 - Crimes and Punishments
Section 551(d)(2)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1992 Replacement Volume and 1994 Supplement)
