Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 161 - Governors Appointments Office and Appointing Authorities -
Duties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bill prohibits the Governors Appointments Office from directing or overruling
specified decisions of specified appointing authorities in the Executive Branch of State
government, the Secretary of Budget and Management, or a unit of the Department of
Budget and Management.
Senate Bill 50, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign House
Bill 161.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Martin O'Malley
Governor
