I don’t see an obvious reason why passing SB 53 makes it less likely that such a law passes in a jurisdiction other than CA.
I was thinking policy-makers might see that there’s already an auditing requirement and decide not to impose another auditing requirement because it doesn’t seem important anymore. (Even though on my view it would still be important to get a requirement that comes into effect sooner.) I don’t know whether policy-makers are likely to think that way, it just seems like a possibility that’s worthy of concern.
