Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 367 — Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation -
Tenant Houses - Construction.

This bill makes the construction of specified tenant houses subject to the approval of
the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation that are on farms subject to
an agricultural land preservation easement. It authorizes the Foundation to grant an
exception, based on a showing of compelling need, to a specified construction
requirement.

House Bill 770, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on May
11, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 367.

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