In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 232 - Correctional Services - Inmates - Indecent Exposure.
This bill prohibits an inmate from lewdly, lasciviously and indecently exposing
private parts of the inmate's body in the presence of a correctional officer or
authorized personnel with the intent to annoy, abuse, torment, harass or embarrass
that person. Violators are guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to maximum penalties
of a fine of $1,000 and/or imprisonment for three years. The bill also provides that
words and phrases that describe the common-law crime of indecent exposure retain
their judicially determined meaning unless otherwise indicated.
Senate Bill 429, 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 232.
Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
House Bill No. 232
AN ACT concerning

lasciviously, and indecently exposing certain parts of the inmate's body to
