S.B. 572
|
|
VETOES
|
|
|

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 572 - Arthritis Prevention and Control Act.
This bill establishes the Arthritis Prevention and Control Program within the
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The purpose of the program is to raise
public awareness, educate consumers and educate and train health professionals,
teachers and providers about arthritis. This bill requires the existing Advisory
Council on Arthritis and Related Diseases to advise the Department on developing
and implementing the program.
House Bill 247, 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 572.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
Senate Bill No. 572
AN ACT concerning
Arthritis Prevention and Control Act
FOR the purpose of establishing the Arthritis Prevention and Control Program in the
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; defining certain terms; providing
for certain findings of the General Assembly related to arthritis; providing for
the purposes of the Program; altering the powers and duties of the State
Advisory Council on Arthritis and Related Diseases; providing for the duties of
the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene in administering the Program;
providing for the funding of the Program; and generally relating to the Arthritis
Prevention and Control Program.
