CALL TO ACTION: Support HB102 and HB306

These two bills will be heard before the full House Committee on Health, Welfare, and Institutions on Tuesday, February 8th at 10:00 AM. There will not be any public testimony taken at the Committee hearing.

Please contact the committee members (see below for contact information) by email or phone and ask them to support these bills. You can send one email to all members.

HB102 prohibits a hospital from terminating a doctor for prescribing off-label use of medications and says a pharmacist may dispense off-label drugs.

HB306 exempts a person, including a parent or guardian on behalf of a child, who objects to administration of a vaccine on religious grounds from mandatory immunization requirements during an epidemic. Currently, exemption from mandatory immunization requirements during an epidemic is available only to those persons to whose health the administration of the vaccine would be detrimental, as certified in writing by a licensed physician.
