Current legislation. For the puc and the mta, they have a whole separate thing they do that doesnt have the same noticing process and appeals process. Public works is no longer overseeing their processes. In the prior legislation, we were issuing permits for all poles, and now theyre currently taking and doing all the review related to their assets. Okay. So i would for one be delighted in you want to continue to agree to hold off on the adoption of the objective standards. I think first and foremost i dont mean to be cranky on deputy City Attorneys debut at the land use committee, but having our deputy City Attorney who is the legal subject matter expert, mr. Sanders, here, im not sure why hes not here, would be very helpful. I do not want to put ms. Pearson in the position of having to delve into a body of legal material that is not her subject matter expertise. So i would like to continue to hold off. I would like to continue the hearing and also like to get legal advice about the p
