Still has to have the OK from the PGC. Everyone who runs out to get a electronic decoy and gets caught using it is subject making a donation to the PGC and prob. surrendering the decoy so some words of advice, until you see the stamp of approvial from the PGC, I would not jump the gun .

never thought about it that way, i figured that the bill got approval from the PGC to even get a vote in the senate then to the Gov.
oops
