Drug-price probers push to strip Vermont board of powers
Vermont's Drug Price Study Committee urged stripping the state Board of Pharmacy of authority, making it advisory. In hearings the board and chairman Herbert J. Feinberg faced sharp criticism from Republicans and Democrats for overstepping legal powers by banning mail-order drugs and prohibiting price ads. The panel, which backed extending controls to out-of-state firms and using the secretary of state for service of process, voted unanimously except on allowing price advertising, where one senator dissented seeking less competition.
