Yes, but it is surprise fees. It is hidden fees. Many of the residents outside this Chamber would disagree. I think it is really important to understand the underlying bill amends the security laws, and the security laws are administered by the SEC. Be that as it may, it is incredibly important to understand that, of course, there are fees, but hidden fees. We are talking about hidden, surprise fees that our residents know nothing about. That is the essence of why we need this amendment. Again, we cannot continue to allow our residents to be impacted negatively by the fact that they don't want to be transparent. They want to hide these fees. They don't want us to know exactly what they are charging us. So, again, I think it is incredibly important. Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
