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 699.

This bill establishes procedures for notifying certain victims of their rights by requiring
law enforcement, court and juvenile justice personnel to provide a form that is provided
by the State Board Of Victims' Services. Clerks of the circuit and juvenile courts are
required to process forms regarding the victims' notification and the State's Attorneys are
required to notify crime victims of the status of their case.

House Bill 975, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on this date,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill
699.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
