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 227 - Harford County - Alcoholic Beverages Licenses - Transfers.

This bill alters the criteria required for use by the Harford County Liquor Control Board when transferring an alcoholic beverages license for use in a business in Harford County.

House Bill 339, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me on April 27, 2004, accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate Bill 227.

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