Both the Senate and the House of Representatives will hold sessions on Thursday, April 23: the House will vote on two bills that seek to close loopholes that allow companies to market and sell addictive products to youth, and may vote on a bill that restricts school vaccine clinics. Committees will soon vote on legislation that impacts children’s behavioral health coverage, prescription affordability, and immunization access. Meanwhile, two bills related to healthy aging are headed to the Governor’s desk.
