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 744 - Former Governors - Death Benefits - Surviving Spouses.
This bill corrects an oversight in the pension law by providing that regardless of a
former Governor's age at the time of death, the surviving spouse shall receive a
monthly retirement allowance equal to a specified percent of the benefit due to the
former Governor.
House Bill 1013, 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 744.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
Senate Bill 744
AN ACT concerning
Former Governors - Death Benefits - Surviving Spouses
FOR the purpose of providing certain death benefits to surviving spouses of former
Governors; and generally relating to death benefits for surviving spouses of
former Governors.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
Article — State Personnel and Pensions
Section 22-405
Annotated Code of Maryland
(2004 Replacement Volume and 2006 Supplement)
