I admire the Senator's foresight. The aforementioned amendment will allow both complaints to be made and investigations against attorneys registered under the 1996 Act. I thank the Senator for raising the issue. Another vitally important issue that was included in one of the amendments yesterday was the provision that the director can have an investigation even where no complaint was made. As the Senator and I are aware, it sometimes is the most vulnerable who do not have anyone to complain on their behalf or who cannot complain themselves. I believe the Bill covers the issues raised by the Senator and I am glad it does. I thank the Senator for having such foresight.
