The most obvious assumption that comes to my mind is that if you're a Californian visiting the rest of the US, you're not covered in local businesses. If you're from the rest of the US visiting California, you're covered by this bill as the business you're purchasing from will likely assume you're a Californian. In a situation where the business finds out your real address (as is the case in many online transactions where you input your billing address) you probably won't be covered unless the wording of the bill specifically forces businesses based out of California to apply this rule to all business they conduct. I'm mostly curious about the online transactions, as that seems like a pretty big motivation to exit California if you're a business owner.
