Thank you.
It's our view that it's important for all officers of the legislature to have an immunity provision in their enabling statute. Without that immunity, as legal counsel, general counsel, to the commissioner, anytime virtually anything comes up where there's the potential for either an investigation or a prosecution naming a person, or one of those kinds of things, I would have to advise the commissioner that we must be aware that doing anything would have the potential for an action against him personally and against our office. Having that immunity cuts that off right at the pass. You're now able to go ahead and do your job the way you're supposed to do it.
