It would be even more bonkers if government could regulate without any restrictions.
Can California demand that a restaurant provides daily report on how often each employee washes their hands and fine them $15k per day if they don't or provide incorrect information?
Per your simplistic argument it would be bonkers if California could create such law. It's a mere reporting of its relevant business activity.
To me it would be bonkers if California could create such onerous regulation.
In law analogies only get you so far. I'm pretty sure that things like food labeling were challenged in courts and were found to not violate 1st amendment but the onerous requirements California tries to impose here are not even close to use them as some kind of precedent.

- fluidcruft 3y agoThere are always consequences to regulations and practical restrictions seen at the ballot box. If the reporting is justifiable and required of all restaurants, then... so be it? If the People are unconvinced that it's necessary or they don't like it and think the government is out of touch, we throw the bums out. The very real risk of losing of power is what keeps them from passing the sorts of "ridiculous" regulations you are proposing.
- plorkyeran 3y agoI don't see why California should not be able to pass such a law? It'd be a really dumb law but the constitution does not try to forbid bad overly onerous laws as long as they aren't specifically targeted at one person.
