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 259 - Morticians - State Board of Morticians - Membership.
This bill prohibits the State Board of Morticians from having more than one member
who is employed by or affiliated with, directly or indirectly, the same corporation,
professional association or other entity that owns one or more funeral homes. The bill
allows the Governor to remove an appointed member who causes the board to be in
violation of this provision.
Senate Bill 251, 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 259.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 259
AN ACT concerning
Morticians - State Board of Morticians - Membership
FOR the purpose of prohibiting the State Board of Morticians from consisting of two
or more members who are having more than one member who is employed by or
affiliated with the same corporation, professional association, or other entity,
that owns, directly or through a subsidiary, one or more funeral homes; and
generally relating to the membership of the State Board of Morticians.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article - Health Occupations
Section 7-202
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:
Article - Health Occupations
7-202.
(a) (1) The Board consists of 12 members.
