The answer is that once they are assigned, and that is a word I did use in the answer, by the CDF, those forces that are assigned—and they would be a defined unit, a defined group of people or even a defined person or persons—will be the subject of this law and it would not matter where they are.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Bill reported with amendments; report adopted.
