President of the Senate
State House

Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 802 - Governor's Wellmobile Program.
This bill establishes the Governor's Wellmobile Program within the University of
Maryland School of Nursing.
House Bill 433, 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 802.
Sincerely,
|
