ATTITUDE TO VERIFY IN STATE
MANUFACTURING YEP. ARE THERE
COMPLIANCE IS THEIR APARTMENT
ARE THERE PENALTIES AFTER GETS
PICKED UP THAT WOULD BE. YUSOF
IT DEPENDS ON THE STATE SOME
STATES FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY FIND
THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH
THE- THEY HAVE A CERTIFICATION
WITH THE PROBLEM OF THE SELF
CERTIFICATION THEY SIMPLY A
PRIVATE THE COMPANY FROM
PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM
OTHER STATES- TREATED AS A
MISDEMEANOR IT DEPENDS ON THE
STATE AND FRANKLY- YOU KNOW THE
PROGRAM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE IS
INTENDED TO BE A POSITIVE
PROGRAM A RATHER THAN A
NEGATIVE ONE AND SO WE HAVE TO
SORT OF THREAD THE NEEDLE WHEN

REFINE THE ENFORCEMENT PIECE SO
WE GET THAT RIGHT THE RIGHT
BALANCE OF WEEK CONTINUE TO GO
FORWARD WITH A POSITIVE PROGRAM
NOT A NEGATIVE ONE BUT AT THE
