- Has the problem been addressed in the past, and if so, how?
- At what level of government has it been addressed?
- By which branch of government has it been addressed?
- If by the legislative branch, identify specific laws related to the issue and date (year) of enactment; if by the executive branch, identify rules or orders related to the issue and date (year) made.
- What is the status of existing laws?
