Opposed
 

Child care centers operate on very tight budgets.  Please consider asking the legislature to fund the cost of these epipens.

Will employees of centers or will the center be held liable if they administer an epipen after being trained and something goes wrong?

Will parents be able to opt out of this?

 

Thank you for your consideration of these comments/questions.
