During the House Floor debate on the bill to enact the Pharmaceutical Redistribution Program, Representative Robert Quattrocchi offered an amendment to help protect recipients of the redistributed drugs, by adding language that informed of the civil and criminal immunity of drug provider provisions that applied upon receipt and use of the repurposed pharmaceuticals. His amendment was voted down by the majority of his colleagues, with the explanation that these types of regulations were micromanaging the Department of Health.
Yet, in subsequent House debates on bills dealing with vehicle license plate design and the disclosure of jacks in cars, this was not deemed micromanaging the Department of Motor Vehicles.
