And many devices are continue to be in New York City that will be subject to the proposed ordinance that we have right now.

Think about it.

What will it cost the department to set up and operate the registration program annually?

I think the fee would be actually up for further regulation and further analysis on the costs of implementing the bill.

I believe in our fiscal impact statement, we said the total would be in the neighborhood of about $19,000,000.
