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 197.

This bill allows a county or municipal corporation to designate an area on a county or
municipal highway or a highway on which the county or municipality is authorized to
do work, as a highway work zone. A county or municipal corporation may reduce the
established speed limits in such designated zones if necessary to ensure the public
safety.

House Bill 351, 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 197.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

Senate Bill 197

AN ACT concerning

Highway Work Zones - Reducing Speed Limits - Counties County and

Municipal Authority

FOR the purpose of authorizing a county, municipal corporation, or Baltimore City to
designate an area as a highway work zone and reduce the established speed
limits in a highway work zone under certain circumstances; and generally
relating to reducing the authority of local governments to reduce speed limits in
highway work zones on certain highways.

BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
