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, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 548.

This bill replaces gender specific language in Title 8 of the Real Property Article with gender neutral language.

House Bill 260, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 27, 1999, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 548.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
