In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland Constitution, today I have
vetoed House Bill 610 - State Department of Education and Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene - Student Surveys - Workgroup.
This bill requires the Maryland State Department of Education and the Department of
Health and Mental Hygiene to establish a workgroup to evaluate and reduce the
impact on schools and students of administering and taking various health-related
surveys while collecting valid data that meet the legal data collection responsibilities
of the departments. The workgroup may consult with various stakeholders and must
study the feasibility of administering a single survey or coordinating the
administration of multiple health-related surveys.
Senate Bill 9, 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 610.
