| Message | Mr. Speaker, It is the intention of this bill to prevent malicious code and errors instead of being a reactionary response as is the current law. This law is currently projected to cut costs in the Ministry of Justice and in the corporate and private sectors significantly while only raising the cost of our patent office slightly in comparison. With that, I hereby open this proposal up to debate. Senator Janet Beckman (F-AD) Federalist Senate Leader |
