I agree - why just ARES folks?

---however---

Look at the language above.  Communities?  Read the bill.  If you're
in an area covered by "community" zoning, the bill does *not* apply
to you.  It only applies to areas outside of communities, (i.e.
"rural" areas) and *appears* to only apply to commercial concerns.
