H.B. 478

VETOES

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect July 1, 2004.

May 26, 2004

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 478 - Frederick County - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Bed and
Breakfast and Country Inn Establishments.

This bill establishes in Frederick County separate alcoholic beverages licenses for bed
and breakfast, and country inn establishments. It establishes license requirements
and restrictions on the use of the licenses and specifies license fees.

Senate Bill 446, 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 478.

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

House Bill No. 478

certain license requirements and restrictions on the use of the licenses;
specifying certain license fees; requiring that the licenses be voided and
returned to the Board of License Commissioners under certain circumstances;
authorizing the Board to adopt certain regulations; and generally relating to
alcoholic beverages licenses in Frederick County.
