Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 389 - Natural Resources — Complimentary Hunting Licenses —
Hunting Stamps.

This bill provides that a complimentary hunting license issued by the Department of
Natural Resources must include all applicable hunting stamps, except for migratory
game bird stamps and bonus deer stamps.

Senate Bill 421, 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 389.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor

House Bill No. 389

AN ACT concerning

Natural Resources - Complimentary Hunting Licenses - Hunting Stamps

FOR the purpose of requiring a certain gratis hunting license issued to a Maryland
resident under a certain age to include all applicable hunting stamps, except for

- 3606 -
