e

. Why the policy might make sense;

. Who would be affected;

. How the policy change would be made; and

. Other considerations relevant to the potential policy.

Note that the "low" option is not strictly status quo. Continuation of existing state policies
without change is an option, but does not require description and is not recommended. Also note
that policy components could be "mixed and matched" across levels; for example. a "low"
threshold policy could be combined with a "medium" or "high" application policy.

The intent of the matrix is to engender discussion of how much change is desirable. It outlines
potential policy changes in general terms. Specific policies would need to be articulated once the
State determines the appropriate level of change for each policy component.
