Bills that could kill major new industries need to be reactive, if at all. This was a terrible bill. Thank you, Governor.

If the new industry is inherently unsafe, it is better to be proactive.

Even if I agreed in general I would not be sure about this case.

Yeah, this specific law sounds like not great law.

This link convinced me otherwise. I wasn't too sure before (I'm a little ashamed to admit I hadn't been following the development of SB 1047).

I will also specifically share this talk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ

I think this passing this bill would have probably been a very good idea. Not perfect, but far, very far from broken.

Edit: I'm actually not sure if we as a community gave this topic enough attention leading in the months leading up to the announcement of this decision.
