Objection to new regulation
 

I am the owner of a licensed child day center that serves 57 children. My main concern here is cost. We have ages birth through 5 so that is a lot of EpiPens that expire yearly. My second concern is guessing a child’s weight in an emergency situation would be risky to say the least. Please do not put more expense on child care providers who are already struggling to stay afloat.
