This IS exactly the kind of regulations and laws decried by conservative, free market politicians. You can therefore conclude that the person proposing the bill is not a conservative, free market politician. He is probably merely a conservative politician. If it is a bill that is actually of any import you will sooner or later certainly see opinion columns from conservative, free-market columns decrying it, though they're a little bit in short supply relative to liberal, environmentally-conscious columnists, so you'll have to look harder. Political parties are made of multiple people and these people are wildly inconsistent in applying what ought to ostensibly be their party's principles, especially once you get down to state-legislature local-politics matters.
