S.B. 329

VETOES

Administration from sending information about the obligor to the Motor Vehicle
Administration if specified grounds exist.

House Bill 605, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
26, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 329.

Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor

Senate Bill No. 329

AN ACT concerning

Child Support - Driver's License Suspension - Grounds for Contesting

FOR the purpose of establishing certain grounds on which a child support obligor may
contest request an investigation and appeal the proposed action of the Child

Administration that the child support obligor is more than a certain number of
days out of compliance with the most recent court order in making child support
payments; requiring the Child Support Enforcement Administration to send a
copy of the obligor's request for an investigation to the obligee, give the obligee

information about the obligor to the Motor Vehicle Administration if certain
grounds exist; establishing certain grounds on which a child support obligor may

manner; altering a limitation regarding the issues that may be considered at a
certain hearing; making it discretionary, rather than mandatory, for the Child
