This bill reduces the main reason that employees exercise their options "early" while they're still illiquid. The employee likely wouldn't have paid that money until there was an actual liquidity event.

This is not correct. The main reason that employees exercise options "early" is if they change jobs and have to exercise to keep their options.

  Or because exercising early means you pay some long term capital gains instead of income tax.

    Ya, totally true too.
