And so I'm excited that the bill, it went to the governor's desk. Governor's office and the governor did not sign it. So it became effective on the day, the last day that he didn't, that he would have had to sign it, which was on Wednesday, June 24th. Section 28 of the bill says this act takes effect immediately. And so it became effective on June 24th, which is also exciting.
