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 710.   

This bill repeals the requirement that a recipient of a Maryland Science and
Technology Scholarship graduate from a secondary school in Maryland. A recipient
must be a Maryland resident and have been a Maryland resident at the time of
graduating from secondary school.

Senate Bill 83, 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
House Bill 710.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening

Governor 

House Bill 710

AN ACT concerning

Maryland Science and Technology Scholarships - Elimination of Secondary

FOR the purpose of repealing the requirement that a recipient of a Maryland Science
and Technology Scholarship graduate from a secondary school in Maryland;
clarifying the residency requirement for a recipient of a Maryland Science and
Technology Scholarship; and generally relating to Maryland Science and
Technology Scholarships.
