Mr. Speaker, as we know, this bill, of course, is applicable to those States that have not addressed this issue. Certainly the State of West Virginia and others who have finally tackled this issue, as they did in California in 1978, I believe, they can set their own caps. This law, H.R. 5, will be applicable to those States who, for one reason or another, have not.
