And still I rise, Madam Speaker. And I thank the chairman, Chairman Scott, for the opportunity to be heard. Madam Speaker, I support this legislation because, on any given night or day, in 2020, around 11,000 requests for domestic violence services went unmet, and this was due to a lack of resources. We have the resources; they are just not getting to the people. This is what we can do to make a difference in the lives of 11,000 people. I will do what I can. I support the legislation.
