Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 325 - Procurement - Percentage Price Preference for Recycled
Materials - Chicken Litter.

This bill includes processed and pasteurized chicken litter in the percentage price
preference for recycled materials.

Senate Bill 473, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 325.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor

House Bill No. 325

Chicken Litter

FOR the purpose of establishing a certain percentage price preference for items made
with processed and pasteurized chicken litter; altering the definition of a certain
term; providing for a certain effective date; and generally relating to a
percentage price preference for chicken litter.

BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
