State Police. The Department will compile the written policies and allow public
inspection of each policy compiled.
House Bill 103, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 157.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
