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 288.

This bill repeals the requirement that any money market funds in which the State
Treasurer invests unexpended or surplus funds must have received the highest possible
rating from at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

House Bill 581, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May 8,
1997, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 288.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 288

AN ACT concerning

State Treasurer - Investment of Public Funds - Money Market Mutual Funds

FOR the purpose of modifying a provision pertaining to the authority of the State
Treasurer to invest or reinvest certain money in qualifying money market mutual
funds by eliminating a statutory requirement that an eligible money market mutual
fund must have received a specified rating.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
