Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 441.
This bill adds members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary to the list of
qualified volunteer fire, rescue, or emergency medical services members who are
entitled to a $3,500 income tax subtraction modification for volunteer services. The
subtraction modification is allowed only if the volunteers meet specified
qualifications, such as having been an active member for at least 72 months during
the last 10 calender years.
