Maurice Hayes (Independent)

I agree with the purpose of the amendment in that it is helpful to have definitions but it appears this definition is too broad. The amendment refers to a "substance or a combination of substances". We all know the substances the Senator has in mind but to word it like that is wrong. The Senator needs to be more specific or leave it out altogether. In a Bill of this sort we need to leave enough room for accommodation of emerging substances or conditions we know about. If a form of words could be found that would meet that it would be helpful but I am not sure this particular form of words is the one best suited to it.
