I'm just trying to kinda piece together the, like, enthusiasm behind being 1st of its kind, 1st of its nation, across the nation, excuse me, if there's no it has like, there's not significant enough teeth.
0:26:26
I get that it's framework.
0:26:27
I get that it's language.
0:26:29
I get that it's intended to, you know, provide kind of guiding principles.
0:26:32
But where what role does OTI play in ensuring that these agencies are utilizing all this work that you've been putting together.
0:26:43
You've you've you've got a steering committee.
0:26:44
You've got a committee of experts on this.
0:26:47
So just curious, like, what's what is the lifespan of this action plan.
0:26:53
If no agency if you cannot point to me that no agency is utilizing this or or, you know, maximizing on what you've all put together and work so diligently on, like, what where does it leave us?
0:27:05
Is it just like a PDF that exists in the ether or like, what needs to happen, which is which is why we're trying to legislate.
