		The commission was created by the legislature in June, 1994, to determine how best to address the ways in which same- gender couples are affected by not being able to marry.

		Thus, it seems that the purpose of the law is to lessen regulation within the public school system in order to promote more innovative techniques within the current educational framework, specifically within individual schools, as opposed to inspiring system-wide competition.
