The bill's provisions on radon and lead testing, floodplain management, wetlands compliance, address conditions in remote communities where there's limited access to specialized testing contractors and laboratories.

Just let me help you out here because it sounds like these are not redundant, that this actually, as you say, it broadens it and effectively it is allowing for a more efficient process, which I think we're all looking at, but it would also seem to me that you are— you're strengthening tribal self-determination. You still have appropriate environmental protections in there, but you're allowing for a process that— maybe we should replicate this beyond just Native housing here, because it sounds to me like it's common sense.
