In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 165 - Baltimore City - Local Government Tort Claims Act - Baltimore
Public Markets Corporation and Lexington Market, Inc.
This bill provides that the Baltimore Public Markets Corporation, in Baltimore City,
meets the definition of "local government" for the purposes of the Local Government
Tort Claims Act. With the passage of this law, the Baltimore Public Markets
Corporation and its employees may not raise as a defense a limitation on liability;
providing that the notice requirement does not apply to actions for unliquidated
damages.
Senate Bill 16, 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 165.
Sincerely,
Martin O'Malley
Governor
House Bill 165
AN ACT concerning

requirement does not apply to a certain action for unliquidated damages; and
