    “Acquire”: I would have said “Require”. “Acquire” implies state agency tried and thought they had approval. “Require” is a bit more authoritative for a jury, in my opinion. “Require” is the proper verb in my opinion.

    Mr. Bradford,

    Thank you for your thoughts.

    “Acquire”, as defined, means “to get (something)”.

    Requiring (Making) state agencies to acquire consent is what this proposal does.

    One cannot substitute the two words, require & acquire, because they have two different meanings.

    Do you see any other ways to strengthen this proposal?

    Best,
