Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 433.

This bill specifies that an individual covered under a Point-of-Service (POS) option
through an HMO may receive coverage for any health care service obtained outside the
provider panel if the health care service is covered under the enrollee's contract with the
HMO.

House Bill 831, 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

433.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 433
