The Honorable Michael E. Busch
Speaker of the House
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401

Dear Mr. Speaker:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, I have today
vetoed House Bill 282 - Frederick County - Nursing or Convalescent Homes.

This bill authorizes the Frederick County Commissioners to establish, maintain, and
operate a nursing or convalescent home, and specified other facilities and services.

Senate Bill 608, 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
House Bill 282.

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

House Bill No. 282

AN ACT concerning

Frederick County - Nursing or Convalescent Homes

FOR the purpose of authorizing the Frederick County Commissioners to establish,
maintain, and operate a nursing or convalescent home and certain other
facilities and services; and generally relating to Frederick County and nursing
homes.
