State Board of Health to Have Czar Like Power under Law
Senator Ogborn's bill to set up three state laboratories of hygiene faced heated debate in the senate on Thursday. Proponents led by Ogborn and Wool argued for swift passage while Chey and Parks opposed overreach and cost. The measure passed 4 to 7 amid questions of constitutionality and allocation of powers, with many senators admitting they had not fully read the bill. It would place state health board rules on par with laws, enabling broad appointment and pay powers and enforcing fines, triggering concerns over legislative delegation.
