| Message | We are sympathetic to this bill, however, we do not agree with Article 1. While we do agree that unregulated advertising is risky, we are unsure as to how public awareness of certain medications may be spread if all forms of advertising them are bamned. We will tentatively vote yes, but we may make an alternate proposal addressing that component of this bill should it pass. |
