The Honorable Casper R. Taylor, Jr.
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 173 - Judges' Retirement System - Death Benefits - Multiple
Beneficiaries.
This bill allows a retiree of the Judges' Retirement System who has no spouse or
minor children at the time of retirement and who elects to receive a reduced
allowance, to designate multiple beneficiaries to receive a lump-sum payment of any
remaining pension balance at the time of the retiree's death. The bill also creates a
lump-sum death benefit that would be payable to the member's designated
beneficiary or beneficiaries if the member dies prior to retirement and has no
surviving spouse or minor children at the time of death.
Senate Bill 171, 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 173.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 173
AN ACT concerning
Judges' Retirement System - Death Benefits - Multiple Beneficiaries
FOR the purpose of providing certain members and certain retirees of the Judges'
Retirement System with the option of designating multiple beneficiaries for
certain death benefits; creating a lump-sum death benefit for certain
beneficiaries of certain members of the Judges' Retirement System; and
generally relating to death benefits of certain members and certain retirees of
the Judges' Retirement System.
