> Also, why wouldn’t they specify a penalty? Why punt that to California’s already-burdened courts? The current law appears to be about collecting data to help understand the state of the industry and its trends. They’re probably hoping that enough data will come in without a stink that they don’t have to chase down any holdouts at all. Explicitly specifying a penalty means more political negotiating and more analysis about what statutory penalty structure suits the different potential offenders. If you’re hoping you don’t have to actively enforce the law at all, you can skip that.
