In reading Leonard Levy’s “Origins of the Bill of Rights” he repeatedly pointed out that use of the word “shall” was a key to producing those. Previously too many pronouncements had used the word “may”.
It's standard code language (I enforced the fire code and associated codes for 25 years which are the law for any jurisdiction that formally adopts it). "May" means you have some options. "Shall" means this is the way it's gotta be.

I think the statute is a bit scary, if there is such a wide range for interpretation. I don't want Congress to give an administration and bureaucrats that amount of latitude.
he depended on NannyP for far too long - they were a team you know.
You should have seen them at lunch one day explaining a political tactic called the wrap up smear.... “ and stab them in the back” ( their words) both laughing hysterically
