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 625.

This bill authorizes the General Assembly through the State budget bill to reduce the
amount of funds being transferred from the State's Revenue Stabilization Fund to the
State's general fund in the State budget bill.

Senate Bill 333, 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 625.

Sincerely,

Parris N. Glendening
Governor

House Bill 625

transfer from the Revenue Stabilization Fund to the General Fund be reduced
by a certain amount under certain circumstances; making this Act an emergency
measure; and generally relating to transfers from the Revenue Stabilization
Fund.
