The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 554 - Disease Prevention - Reporting Hepatitis C.
This bill adds viral hepatitis type C to the list of reportable diseases which must be
reported to the county health officer by the director of a medical laboratory within 48
hours after the examination of a specimen from a human body shows evidence of the
disease.
House Bill 845, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
11, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 554.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
Senate Bill No. 554
AN ACT concerning
Disease Prevention - Reporting Hepatitis C
FOR the purpose of requiring the director of a medical laboratory to submit a report
to a local health officer if certain evidence indicates the presence of viral
hepatitis type C in an individual; providing for a delayed effective date; and
generally relating to reports on diseases.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Health - General
Section 18-205(a)(1)
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1994 Replacement Volume and 1999 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
