H.B. 529
VETOES
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 529 - State Board of Nursing - Skilled Nursing Assistants -
Establishment and Certification.
This bill requires the State Board of Nursing to adopt regulations establishing
categories of skilled nursing assistants in specified settings. It requires the Board to
adopt regulations establishing qualifications for each category of skilled nursing
assistant. It also requires skilled nursing assistants, within a category of nursing
assistant, to meet requirements set by the Board to qualify for certification, and
requires skilled nursing assistants to meet specified additional requirements to
renew a certification.
Senate Bill 406, 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 529.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 529
AN ACT concerning
