Ok, so I listened to the whole thing. The bill ultimately passed unanimously and will be moved to the Committee of Appropriations. There was a representative from MedPharm in attendance. He obviously voiced his opinion in favor of the bill for economic reasons...and expressed that shareholder dollars would allow more money to be used for research and development while at the same time lessen current funding through taxation. There were also some concerns that were brought up. One was in regards to the November 1st implementation statue being too soon. ***The original bill had a July 1st implementation*** The other concern, which seemed to be more important than the implementation date...and voiced by 'Madam Chair'...was she didn't feel like the bill was necessarily worded in a way to favor minorities, and especially female minorities. She ultimately voted yes but made sure she doubled down on her displeasure that it appeared to exclude females and female minorities.
