Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1142.

This bill allows a licensee and the State Board of Physician Quality Assurance to enter
into an agreement for corrective action after determining that deficiencies exist.

Senate Bill 738, 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 1142.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

House Bill No. 1142

AN ACT concerning

State Board of Physician Quality Assurance - Disciplinary Actions

FOR the purpose of allowing the State Board of Physician Quality Assurance to enter
into an agreement for corrective action with a licensee after performing certain
preliminary investigations and determining that deficiencies exist and patient safety
