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 577.

This bill requires the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to establish in
regulations as a prospective rate the reasonable cost to a federally qualified health
center of providing services to Medicaid enrollees.

House. Bill 660, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April
27, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 577.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor
