The Honorable Thomas V. Mike Miller, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed Senate Bill 303 - Motor Carrier Transportation Contracts - Indemnity
Agreements Void.
This bill provides that specified indemnity agreements in motor carrier transportation
contracts that purport to indemnify the promisee against specified liability resulting
from specified conduct by the promisee are against public policy and are void and
unenforceable.
House Bill 898, 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 303.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
Senate Bill 303
AN ACT concerning
Motor Carrier Transportation Contracts - Indemnity Agreements Void
FOR the purpose of providing that certain indemnity agreements, collateral to, or
affecting certain motor carrier transportation contracts that purport to
indemnify the promisee against certain liability resulting from certain conduct
by the promisee are against public policy and are void and unenforceable;
defining certain terms; and generally relating to certain indemnity agreements
in certain motor carrier transportation contracts.
BY repealing and reenacting, without amendments,
Article - Transportation
Section 11-134.2
Annotated Code of Maryland
