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 159.

This bill provides that a continuing care community does not lose its exemption from
Certificate of Need requirements when it admits an individual directly to a nursing
facility within the community if the admittee's spouse, relative or significant other is
admitted at the same time to an independent living or assisted living unit within the
community.

House Bill 360, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
27, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 159.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

Senate Bill 159

AN ACT concerning

Continuing Care Communities - Certificate of Need Exemption -

Concurrent Direct Admissions

FOR the purpose of providing that a continuing care community does not lose its
exemption from certificate of need requirements if the community admits to a
nursing facility within the community certain individuals under certain
circumstances; making technical corrections; and generally relating to
continuing care communities.
