      if it ever gets turned into an actual law it will be so full of holes as to be useless.

        It’ll be on the 20th consecutive time they get caught, with each catch having to be in a new time period. And if they go a year month without offending getting caught their counter resets. Also, if they get a lawyer there’s an arcane legal process to instead jail the employee.

        Yeah, notice how it says “proposed.” If it’s good for the general public, Republicans are going to shoot it down.
