EpiPens in Daycare
 

I am concerned that this mandate could force some providers to close or reduce enrollment due to the cost and liability risk. Losing quality child care providers will be devastating for working families in our community. The child care shortage is already a crisis - policies that might reduce availability should be carefully considered.
