I have my doubts.
With regard to the “protecting the public” section, I must admit, when I read this, I said, again, “Why is this in here?” The protection of the public section was further down.
Anything I learned in drafting when I went to law school and all the cases I've read since then tell me it doesn't matter whether it's at the start of the paragraph or at the end of the paragraph, the principle is there. By moving it to the top of the paragraph, what does it accomplish—other than politically? But you don't have to answer the political question. I'm just asking, from a draftsperson's standpoint, what does this accomplish?
