Dear Mr. Speaker:

[n accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 1051.

This bill repeals current law dealing with special Class C alcoholic beverages licenses for
golf and country clubs in Carroll County. The bill provides instead for a Class C (golf
course) beer, wine, and liquor license for consumption only on the land and in the
buildings which are part of the golf course. This license is only available to a golf course
that, is open to the public, is operated for profit, owns real estate in the county, and has
a nine-hole golf course, at a minimum. The annual license fee is $1,500.

Senate Bill 554, 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 House
Bill 1051.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening

Governor
