Opposition to Mandatory Stock EpiPen Requirement
 

I am a licensed Virginia child care provider, and I oppose the mandatory stock EpiPen requirement. This creates significant financial burdens I cannot afford, requires me to make medical decisions I am not trained to make, and exposes me to unacceptable liability risks. Please reconsider this mandate and work with providers on practical alternatives
