ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                            S.B. 224

This bill grants the Circuit Court for Harford County the authority to remand to the
Harford County Liquor Control Board proceedings before the court that relate to the
appeals of decisions of the board.

House Bill 337, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April
27, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 224.

Very truly yours,

Governor
