Theological note: Scripture commends diligence, stewardship, and fair dealing in commerce, and it expresses concern for the vulnerable and for those hurt by disaster. This measure touches those concerns only indirectly, through administrative outreach and coordination on access to capital. It raises no direct moral question about killing, sexual corruption, coercion, or deception, so its relevance is prudential rather than a clear moral verdict.
