President of the Senate

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 582.

This bill requires the Department of Budget and Management to forward each request
tor financial assistance from a volunteer fire company or rescue squad to the Department
of Fiscal Services for review.

House Bill 848, 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 582.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor

Senate Bill No. 582
