Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 1082 - Homeland Security - Protection of Building Records.

This bill expands the circumstances under which a custodian may deny inspection of
public records relating to public security to include records of public facilities and
privately owned or operated buildings, structures, or facilities.

- 3864 -
