Ind. Law - Bills regulating cold medicine and child care ministries reportedly dead
From the AP, a story headed "Foes stall Indiana bill on child care ministries." The story begins:
A bill that would set state standards for faith-based child care centers in Indiana could be dead for this legislative session after opponents said it would lead to unjustified government regulation of church ministries.Here is the digest of SB 56:
Child care regulation. Makes various statutory changes making certain health and safety requirements applying to child care providers consistent, including criminal history checks, drug testing, caregiver education and supervision, nutrition, immunizations, fire and hazardous materials safety, and administrative procedures for noncompliance. Makes technical changes. (The introduced version of this bill was prepared by the committee on child care.)A story by Lesley Stedman Weidenbener of the Louisville Courier Journal is headed: "Indiana proposal to require prescriptions for some cold medicines appears dead." The story begins:
A proposal at the Indiana General Assembly to require a prescription to obtain some cold medicines won’t move this session because it would inconvenience too many Hoosiers, a key legislator said Wednesday.The bill is HB 1030.
