The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 226.

This bill requires the State Board for Professional Land Surveyors to adopt
regulations that require a demonstration of continuing professional competency for a
license as a condition of license renewal.

Senate Bill 450, 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
House Bill 226.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

House Bill 226

AN ACT concerning

State Board for Professional Land Surveyors - License Renewals -
Continuing Competency Demonstration

FOR the purpose of requiring the State Board for Professional Land Surveyors to
adopt regulations to require a demonstration of continuing professional
competency for a licensed land surveyor or a licensed property line surveyor to
renew a certain license; providing for the termination of this Act; and generally
relating to the renewal of certain licenses by the State Board for Professional
Land Surveyors.

BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
