My last question, commissioner, the illegal car washes.
1:40:21
With the new weather approaching, driving up and down my district, I've seen an increase of car washes of these vans.
1:40:30
I know that we we we passed a law not so long ago.
1:40:33
There was supposed to be a period with the Department of Consumer Affairs on an educational component to educate them on how to properly get a license.
1:40:42
And then there was gonna be enforcement.
1:40:44
Can you just give us a a timeline of where are we now with with that law?

Happy to take the 1 commissioner council member.

Thank you for the question.

My understanding is that the Department of Consumer And Worker Protection is well underway with their 6 month outreach and education campaign and that enforcement based on the effective date in the campaign ending should be ripe for this summer starting in July.

And I will confirm the exact date with you after this.
