House sustains governor's veto on estate-administration notice bill; override fails 28-89
Summary
The Maryland House sustained the governor's veto of House Bill 1258 concerning estate administration and publication of notice; an override attempt failed with 28 in favor and 89 opposed.
The Maryland House of Delegates sustained the governor's veto of House Bill 1258, a measure on estate administration and publication of notice, after a roll-call vote failed to achieve the votes needed to pass the bill notwithstanding the governor's objections.
The question put to the House was "Shall the bill pass, notwithstanding the objections of the chief executive?" The clerk called the roll and announced 28 votes in the affirmative and 89 in the negative; the clerk then stated, "The veto is sustained." The clerk had earlier explained procedure on the special order and noted that a red vote sustains the veto.
Majority Leader (unnamed) spoke prior to the roll call, saying, "All of my questions have been answered for the special order. So we are ready to roll. And colleagues, just a reminder that a red vote sustains the veto." Those floor remarks framed the procedure before the clerk's roll call.
House Bill 1258 was read on the special order calendar as pertaining to "Estates and Trust — Estate Administration, publication of notice." No further amendments or alternate motions were recorded in the transcript excerpts. The clerk's tally concluded with the veto sustained, meaning the bill did not become law under the House action recorded during this session.
The House returned to routine business after the vote; no additional directions or follow-up actions on HB 1258 were recorded in the provided transcript excerpts.
