From the transcript
Yeah, through the chair. So if, say, the commission said yes, they are now advisory, then this long list of plans, I think 20 or 30 or 40 or so, they wouldn't go away. They could still be referenced, but they wouldn't carry that potential regulatory weight. For example, some, you know, if there's a project going through and we're doing a review, we say you have to follow the adopted plans, then we have a little more weight to require that. Or as I think the director pointed out last time, the wetlands management plan is adopted in the conference plan, so it carries that regulatory weight.
