The Latest News and Media From the
Rhode Island House of Representatives Republican Caucus

Rep. Quattrocchi: H7133 Amendment (LC003452/2)

5/4/2022

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.

The lack of consistency is concerning, and alarming. We can’t guide a department that deals with your health, but we can over legislate directives where wording is located on your license plate.

About rhode island house republicans


​In 1636, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, established the first working model of Democracy after being banished from Massachusetts for his “extreme views” concerning freedom of speech and religion. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams publicly acknowledged Williams as the originator of these concepts, along with the freedom of public assembly, in the First Amendment in the United States Constitution. Today, Rhode Island House Republicans uphold the liberties designed by our Founders and preserved in our Constitution, and are the primary legislative body promoting lean government, fighting for lower taxes, and advocating for initiatives and policies that improve the economy and in turn, the lives of Rhode Islanders.  As members of a part-time assembly, we are small business owners, retired educators, community activists, lawyers, farmers, military service veterans, volunteers, former local officials, retired social workers, coaches, musicians, churchgoers and board directors -- bringing these community engagement and professional experiences to our work, on your behalf, at the Rhode Island State House.
