Representative Mindy McElhinden, House District 10. I'm bringing Senate Bill 596. We talked about this yesterday. I just want to clarify that in the interim, we have worked with Intergy to come up with an amendment that is acceptable. SWEPCO has said that they are pulling their objection and the co-ops are also neutral. So with that, I think everybody is on board. We've all agreed to work in the interim to make sure that we are creating the best bill and doing what's best for the right payers. And so with that, I close and ask or I'll take any questions.
