Theological note: The bill concerns the ordinary stewardship of economic life, including fair treatment of small enterprises and honest participation in trade. Scripture supports diligent labor, fair dealing, and just weights in commerce, but this measure is an administrative expansion of an advocacy office and does not itself address a named moral harm or a direct moral good.
