for our pharmacy friends in Alabama: PLEASE CALL SENATOR Shelby AT (202) 224-5744 AND SENATOR Sessions AT (202) 224-4124 IMMEDIATELY AND URGE THEM TO OPPOSE UNANIMOUS CONSENT FOR S 959, BECAUSE IT EXPANDS FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OVER SMALL BUSINESSES, AND THEREFORE DESERVES TO BE FULLY DEBATED AND OPEN TO AMENDMENT. To further regulate pharmacy compounding, the US Senate is attempting to pass legislation through a process known as “Unanimous Consent” before they adjourn for August recess next week, AND IT COULD HAPPEN AS SOON AS TODAY! The final bill S. 959, the Pharmaceutical Compounding Quality and Accountability Act, was produced behind closed doors, yet this procedure prevents any debate on the bill, prohibits amendments, and no Senator is forced to go on the record and affirmatively support the bill. However, it takes only ONE SENATOR to SAY NO to force regular order.
