22 VAC 40-72-960 and 22 VAC 40-73-980 Emergency Equipment and Supplies
 

The proposed changes to this regulation add aspirin and antibiotic cream to the first aid kit.  Both of these items require a physician's order to use or administer.  These are useless items for an emergency in AL and do not need to be in the first aid kit.
