Several Health-Related Bills Fail To Pass Senate Panel
On Friday, the Assembly Appropriations Committee failed to move several health-related bills from the suspense file. Among the bills that failed to pass were AB 187, which would have added a 10% tax on ammunition sales to support mental health and public safety programs; AB 299, which would have prohibited health plans or insurers from making mail-order pharmacies mandatory; and AB 332, which would have required condoms in the adult film industry.
