Chairman and members of the committee,
Our names are Courtney Joslin and Marc Hyden, and we are with the R Street Institute, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government in many areas, including public health. That is why SB 151 is of special interest to us.
