Member Hathaway said she was just curious as to whether it was 1ioing to put any onerous things on any
of the businesses that arc currcnUy existing, because she felt mos1 of them n:alizal the benefits of being
sprinklered or nonsprinklercd as far as their insurance is conccrr.cd. However. she said , she dido 't w.a;1t
10 be a government agency putting anything on them that they ,cally "~re not aware or. Mr. Blumenthal
