Define study. Define mental phenomena. Define behavior. I just don't picture the wording being clear enough that it wouldn't be scrutinized if some company fail

  I am also not a lawyer, but I spend a great deal of time reading about these things and how they're handled in the courts. Ambiguity in law is handled in at least two different ways: in criminal matters, ambiguity is read in the most favorable light for the defendant; in regulatory matters, the interpretation adopted by the regulatory agency responsible for the law's implementation is considered binding so long as it is "permissible construction" of the statute. The latter is commonly known as the "Chevron doctrine"[0] The long and short of it is that this bill, if enacted, will mean whatever the Executive Branch says it means. If it's particularly egregious, then their interpretation will be challenged in court and perhaps eventually trimmed down a bit. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_U.S.A.,_Inc._v._Natural_Resources_Defense_Council,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevron_U.S.A.,_Inc._v._Natura....
