(VI) ANY OTHER INFORMATION NECESSARY TO DETERMINE THE

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect July 1, 2004. It shall remain effective for a period of 4 years and, at the end of
June 30, 2008, with no further action required by the General Assembly, this Act shall

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 752 - Security Guards - Certification Renewal - Late Fees.

This bill requires the Secretary of the State Police to assess a $5 per day late fee to
applicants whose application for renewal of a security guard certification is not
received on or before a specified date except if the renewal is late due to specified
hardships; caps the amount of total late fees assessed on an applicant for late
certification renewals at $150; and prohibits the Secretary from certifying an
applicant if the applicant has outstanding late fees.

Senate Bill 335, 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 752.

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

House Bill No. 752

AN ACT concerning

period on or before a certain date; prohibiting the Secretary from charging the

may be assessed against an individual for late certification renewals;
prohibiting the Secretary from certifying an applicant if the applicant has
outstanding late fees; and generally relating to the late fees assessed to security
guards for late certification renewals.
