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 39 - Joint Committee on Children, Youth and Families - Extension of Sunset.

This bill extends the termination date for the Joint Committee on Children, Youth and Families from May 31, 2002 to June 30, 2009.

House Bill 45, 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 39.

Sincerely,
Parris N. Glendening
Governor
