Thank you for your testimony.

3:16:47

And just so we're all clear, I do support those bills in addition to this bill.

3:16:50

I don't think it would have to be 1 or the other.

3:16:52

But I do hear your concerns, and I will work with the bill sponsor to make sure those are addressed in that bill and supporting the other 2 bills that will be introduced.

3:16:59

So thank you so much.
