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 108 - Patient Care Advisory Committees - Consultation and
Evidentiary Use of Advice.
This bill provides that, in the case of a child with a life-threatening illness, each
Patient Care Advisory Committee must consult a medical professional familiar with
pediatric end-of-life care if a medical professional with this expertise is not already a
member of the committee.
Senate Bill 100, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on
April 25, 2000, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me
to sign House Bill 108.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 108
AN ACT concerning
Patient Care Advisory Committees - Consultation and Evidentiary Use of
Advice
FOR the purpose of requiring a patient care advisory committee to consult with a
medical professional familiar with pediatric end-of-life care under certain
circumstances; authorizing the written advice of a patient care advisory
committee to be admitted into evidence in a certain guardianship or juvenile
proceeding; and generally relating to patient care advisory committees.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Health - General
Section 19-372 and 19-374
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1996 Replacement Volume and 1999 Supplement)
