Council President Verna

Councilwoman Brown, do you want to be 9/27/07 - STATED - 2ND READING recognized at this time?

Councilwoman Brown

Yes, Madam President. Again, to update my colleagues on why the amendment, this amendment does two things. First, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Dental Association, I have decided to eliminate for now the language around amalgam separators and deal with that as a separate issue, an environmental issue, at another time. Today's amendment also helps patients understand that they should be offered a choice when it comes to restorative dental materials and they should be given an informed consent, nothing more than disclosure, on what type of restorative dental materials dentists are putting in their mouth. Thank you, Madam President.

Council President Verna

Do you want to make a motion to move the adoption of the amendment.

Councilwoman Brown

Yes. So 9/27/07 - STATED - 2ND READING moved, Madam President. (Duly seconded.)

Council President Verna

It has been moved and seconded that the amendment be adopted. All in favor will say aye. (Aye.)
