Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 235.

This bill extends the sunset date for provisions of the Business Occupations and
Professions Article related to the State Board of Barbers from July 1, 2001 to July 1,
2011.

Senate Bill 216, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
13, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
House Bill 235.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

House Bill 235

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,

Article - Business Occupations and Professions
