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 363 - Electronic Transactions Protection Act.

This bill establishes an Electronic Transaction Education, Advocacy, and Mediation Unit within the Office of the Attorney General.

House Bill 14, 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 363.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
