Can the committee clarify how this interacts with existing legislation on the same subject?

I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.

This duplicates a mandate that already exists at state level. Please reconsider.
- Halima I.Nigersupport
This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.
