ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor S.B. 615
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed Senate Bill 615 - Higher Education - Maryland Digital Library - Established.
This bill establishes the Maryland Digital Library in the Maryland Higher Education
Commission. It provides for the purpose of the Maryland Digital Library, and
establishes the composition of the Maryland Digital Library. It authorizes the
Maryland Higher Education Commission to encourage specified institutions to meet
specified goals, and authorizes the Maryland Digital Library, in collaboration with
specified entities, to develop specified programs.
House Bill 1167, 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 615.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
