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 662 - Local Law Enforcement Agencies - Disposal of Personal
Property.
This bill requires local law enforcement agencies to hold personal property that comes
into their possession until specified determinations are made, subject to a specified
exception and establishes a procedure for local law enforcement agencies to notify the
owner of the property and for the owner of the property to secure the release of the
property in a specified manner within 30 days. It also authorizes a local law
enforcement agency to sell personal property at public auction after 3 months.
House Bill 1067, 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 662.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
