Legislation


May 26, 2005

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 520 - Employees' Retirement and Pension Systems - Reemployment of Retirees.

This bill exempts from a specified offset of a retirement allowance specified retirees of the Employees' Retirement System or the Employees' Pension System who are reemployed as health care practitioners under specified circumstances. The bill also provides that specified retirees of the Employees' Retirement System or the Employees' Pension System may be reemployed for a period of not more than 4 years. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is required to report to the Joint Committee on Pensions by September 1 of each year. House Bill 758, 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 520.

Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
