H.B. 1425                                               VETOES

SECTION 2. 4. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect June 1, 2004. It shall remain effective for a period of 1 year and, at the end of
May 31, 2005, with no further action required by the General Assembly, this Act shall
be abrogated and of no further force and effect.

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 1425 - Health - General - Nursing Referral Service Agencies -
Licensing.

This bill authorizes the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to issue, deny,
suspend, or revoke a license for a nursing referral service agency. It requires a
nursing referral service agency to obtain a license from the Department before
operating nursing referral agency services, and requires a nursing referral services
agency to apply for a criminal history records check or request a background check to
screen licensed health professionals or specified care providers, and makes the Act an
emergency measure.

Senate Bill 550, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on
April 13, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me
to sign House Bill 1425.

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

House Bill No. 1425

AN ACT concerning

certain regulations; requiring certain nursing referral services to develop and
implement certain procedures relating to the screening of certain licensed
health professionals or certain care providers; requiring the Department to issue
