Opposed
 

I can’t support the proposed mandatory stock EpiPen requirement. I’m uncomfortable with non-medical staff administering such a strong medication to my child without a prescription. I’m also worried about the added childcare costs this could bring for my family. I would really prefer that the state consider alternative options.
