The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 352 - Vehicle Laws - Drunk Driving - Repeat Offenders.
This bill requires the Motor Vehicle Administration to suspend for one year the
driver's license of a person convicted of driving or attempting to drive while under the
influence of alcohol or under the influence of alcohol per se more than once within a
five-year period. The bill also requires such repeat offenders to participate in the
ignition interlock program for three months to one year after the mandatory one-year
suspension as a condition of license restoration or reinstatement, and increases other
penalties applicable to such repeat offenses.
House Bill 4, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 352.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
Senate Bill No. 352

person convicted of repeated offenses of driving while under the influence or

of certain license suspensions imposed under certain circumstances; altering the
