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 555.

This bill includes Harford County among the jurisdictions in which the Comptroller may
issue a Class 7 micro-brewery license. A holder may sell at retail beer brewed under this
license to customers for off-premises consumption in refillable containers that are sealed
by the licensee at the time of each refill.

House Bill 384, 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 555.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 555

AN ACT concerning

Harford County - Alcoholic Beverages
(Micro-Brewery Licenses)

FOR the purpose of including Harford County among those jurisdictions in which the
Comptroller of Maryland may issue micro-brewery licenses; and generally relating
to alcoholic beverages in Harford County.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article 2B - Alcoholic Beverages
Section 2-208

- 4516 -
