The reg-flex amendment which we adopted yesterday which was designed to take care of small business includes in its definition of small entity, small governmental jurisdiction, which goes on to mean government, cities, towns, townships, villages, school districts, special districts, with a population of less than 50,000, unless an agency establishes another amount. So we took care really in the reg-flex amendment of yesterday, I believe, of the concerns about small towns and cities. And frankly I had not realized that that definition was in reg-flex. But I believe that covers the Senator's concern for small towns and jurisdictions.
