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 579 - Children with Disabilities - Voluntary Placement Agreements.
This bill requires the juvenile court, before determining whether a child with a
developmental disability or a mental illness is a child in need of assistance, to make a
finding as to whether the local department of social services made reasonable efforts to
place the child in accordance with a voluntary placement agreement.
House Bill 1226, 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 579.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
