Opposed to Epipen mandate
 

As a Virginia parent with a child in child care, I am concerned about the proposed mandatory stock EpiPen requirement. This mandate will increase the cost of child care for my family.   Please reconsider this proposal.

As a suggestion, to have more daycares offer this service of their own free will the state could fund free training classes regarding allergic reactions and Epipen administration to all daycare providers.
