    You Mr. Speaker representatives. This is a follow on to our child abuse torture legislation last year. And, uh, it really is just a small technical change. All that we're doing is, is, uh, clarifying in the code where it should be housed. So rather than, uh, the statute section that we put it in last year, uh, child torture's already included in the murder section. And so we're correcting that, uh, oversight and drafting.
