Passing a law to prevent something will fix/prevent any problems. just like Gun Laws, Murder Laws, Breaking and Entering laws, etc. Passing another law is just another way they wash their hands of the problem and pushing off to someone else as their problem.

If you have a problem elevate it. Bad news does not get better with age. The sooner you let your supervisor or management know there are problems the better. Like dropping your car off at the service station. When would you like to know the car won't be fixed on time? 5 Minutes before it is due or as soon as they know. My answer is "As soon as possible".
