Commissioner Levy asked if a reason for the omission was found in the legislative history, draft versions, or drafting notes. Commissioner Love reponded that the omission was researched but there was no legislative history regarding it and there was nothing regarding it in any available drafting notes, it seems that it was just an oversight.
