The original version that for sent to me for translation says "requested". Although I think it should be "required". You see, the chain of this translation goes like this: my sister-in-law is a doctor took the official version of the new law and "condensed" it to a brief note to be posted in their office. So she sent me a "condensed" version. And I think she probably made a mistake there, although who am I to correct a doctor? <g>

>Don't you mean 'required' not 'requested?' There is quite a difference.
