Annapolis, MD 21401
Dear Mr. Speaker:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 337 - Criminal Procedure - Pretrial Release - Posting of Bond
Without Appearance of Defendant.
This bill allows a defendant to post bond by means of electronic transmission or hand
delivery of documentation without appearing before the commissioner or judge under
specified circumstances if authorized by the County Administrative Judge or the Chief
Judge of the District Court.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Senate Bill 685, 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 337.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
