It seems to me that the intent of the bill is great! I am concerned that the council will only be able to "recommend" that the materials be limited or not used or whatever. I am concerned that the council seems to have no power to stop the use of any materials. They can only recommend. The council can be completely ignored. Then what have we (as parents)accomplished? We just state that we disagree and they use the materials anyway? Did I read it wrong?
