The will use this tool to create an app. So when people download this information will they have to opt in to use it . Nobody has to download any of these apps, is not going to come from local governments, its going come from state governments , here in california, the state of california would have to build an app, then citizens would decide whether or not they want to download the app, and downloading it essentially ops u. N. You have to have the very latest software updates, apple and google updated if you have that you can participate in the app. You mentioned california in relation to this as a context, you are given an example. Is covering one of the states that signed on to use the tool .
