H.B. 834

VETOES

This bill expands the authority of the courts throughout the State to impose a
sentence of custodial confinement or imprisonment as a condition of probation or
suspension of sentence.

Senate Bill 428, 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 834.

Sincerely,

Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.

Governor
