EpiPen
 

The cost it would be for a childcare to purchase an epipen for each child would be costly and hard on the directors at each center.  And to have to purchase one each year. It will hurt childcare centers everywhere,  especially in our area. Please rethink this bill on behalf of all childcare center. Parents depend on our childcare centers each and every day.
