H.B. 1095                                               VETOES           

May 23, 1996

The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
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 1095.

This bill alters the impervious surface limitations applicable to the Chesapeake Bay
Critical Area.

Senate Bill 657, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 14,
1996, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 1095.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 1095

AN ACT concerning

Chesapeake Bay Critical Area - Impervious Surface limits

FOR the purpose of altering a provision of law to require that a local jurisdiction amend
its local critical area protection program to meet certain requirements by a certain
date; providing that if a parcel or lot of a certain size existed before a certain date
then man-made impervious surfaces are limited to a certain percentage of the lot;
allowing a local jurisdiction to allow a property owner to exceed the certain
impervious surface limits under certain circumstances; requiring that certain fees
collected by a local jurisdiction be used to fund projects that improve water quality
within the critical area consistent with certain local programs; and generally relating
to impervious surface limits in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Natural Resources
Section 8-1808.3
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1990 Replacement Volume and 1995 Supplement)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
