S.B. 392

VETOES

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 392 - Young Farmers Advisory Board.

This bill establishes the Young Farmers Advisory Board; specifies the membership,
terms of membership, and duties of the Advisory Board; requires the Governor to
appoint specified members; provides for the election of a chairperson, vice
chairperson, and secretary of the Advisory Board; establishes meeting requirements
for the Advisory Board; and requires the Department of Agriculture to provide
staffing.

House Bill 755, 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 392.

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