pThe article stated "The bill was written by Rep. Randall Gardner, R-Bowling Green,"/p
pSomeone please contact his office and see if we can get a copy of the law. When you talk to his office please post here on this thread what you find out etc. So others will not be bothering his office for the same thing. Post his contact info (address, phone, fax, e mail address etc.) on this thread also for future use when we need to contact him./p
pPlease see if you can get a few copies. If the law is available to view on the web please post its address or a link to it./p
pIf you can find newspaper articles or any other info about how this law came about etc. post it here/p
pIf you need help or want to discuss this issue contact me./p

pI would like to thank the person who immediately worked on this and sent in an e mail with the info the next morning. I don't know if she wants her name mentioned so I will leave it off. This was to get an example of a laws which allows medications. Please work to find other other amendments and laws which allow our children to have their life saving medications. Of great importance is that they are not "locked up" and that they can be where the child is at all times. /p
pWork to find the law that New York supposedly changed last year allowing asthma medicine also. Any other laws you have heard about please let us know!/p
pHere is her e mail message/p
pChris-I just talked to Rep. Randall Gardner's office and I am being sentbr /
an analysis of House Bill 121 (new law lets asthmatic kids breathe abr /
little easier) which explains the bill in plain language. I can fax itbr /
to you when I get it (she is mailing it to me-said that was easier forbr /
her than faxing it) if you would like. You can look up the bill on thebr /
internet but it is in very confusing format-I thought I'd let you take abr /
look before it gets posted on the boards./p
pHere is the link she sent:/p

pThe Rhode Island link has expired. Please search and find a new link (or contact the site which it links to to see if they will put it back up permanently. Also a link to the actual legislation may be found, try searching for this on the government sites etc./p
pThis info below was part of an e mail we received from one of us in Rhode Island./p
pFrom what I read, the RI state officials who are revamping thebr /
rules/regulations are The Department of Education and the Health Department.br /
The person quoted in the article is John Fulton, Associate Director of thebr /
Health Department. Another agency that is quoted in the article forbr /
fighting to get the regulations changed is The Rhode Island Affiliate of thebr /
American Civil Liberties Union (Executive Director Steven Brown is quoted inbr /
the article). Another person in the article is a mother, Leah Paterson-Smithbr /
of Smithfield, RI, who had been battling for years local, state and federalbr /
officials for her 2 children to receive permission to carry epi-pens onbr /
them./p
pThis might also help to locate the info. Any work you do on this please post it or e mail it to me. /p
pThanks./p
