Lawmakers slated to hear bills allowing pharmacist-prescribed birth control, creating sexual assault survivor bill of rights


One week out from the deadline for bills to move out of their first committee, lawmakers face another marathon day of hearings on Friday.

Lawmakers are also slated to pass several bills out of committee, including measures to provide compensation to people who were wrongfully convicted and more tightly regulate the middlemen in the drug pricing process, known as pharmacy benefit managers.
