Thank you. Most Items. And in Bill 2497 recommendation is to pass with amendments. We're going to adopt PUC's amendment to establish a threshold for projects as determined by the Commission's rules or orders on page five, lines three to nine and exempt utility cooperatives from this measure. Any discussion?

Yes, I think we need to read some of the testimonies that has been done on this measure. If you understand this Bill, there's a lot of opposition that came in from several entities. None.

I don't think we understand that the Attorney General is being forced to do this measure for the private sector and there's already been sued in different states and has been deferred or lost. But we're providing this to Hawaii.

And if you follow what's been happening, the conversations that has been sent to us, we need to be very careful because the Attorney General is being forced to pay and do an and have private sectors sue the utility providers and they're going to be paying for it.

Why is the Attorney General being forced to pay for entities private sector to sue using our funding? So I think we have to be very careful on this measure. So that's just what I'm saying that I think we need to understand what this Bill does.

Okay. Any further discussion? Not sure what's right.

Excuse me. I mean this Bill is about Bill transparency. I'm not too sure what the previous speaker is speaking about. All of us paid more than two times the national average for our electricity rates.

This Bill simply asks the PUC to divulge what are the metrics, what is the analysis that make us as a local consumers, from a monopoly to how we get to the large number that we see on our monthly bills. I don't know anything about an Attorney General being forced to do any kind of lawsuit on the evidence.

I think you have to understand that this measure, if passes, is going to be charged onto the consumers.

And I think we really need to study this issue and understand where this Bill ended up in our hands because these are controlled by mainland companies who wants to just get away and do what they feel like in regards to energy. And we're, we're not part of the United States where we're island states.

So we have to be careful to understand what this Bill does. I-I'm very sorry, but okay, I have to go find out where we got this many.

I think you're getting confused with a different Bill. This Bill is only about transparency of your electricity race has nothing to do with mainland anything.

Okay, we're going to call for the vote. Okay. Chair votes aye..
