The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate

Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 516.

This bill establishes the civil actions that may be filed by a prisoner, and the
circumstances under which such actions may or may not be filed.

House Bill 926, 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 516.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 516
