Yes, passed early last year and it goes into effect at the start of 2023.

I’m not a big fan of your implication that there’s something wrong with discussing legislation while it’s still pending, though. That’s honestly the best and most useful time for people to be discussing it.

There is something wrong with it. Lots of bills get proposed all the time. Many die in committees or they have no hope of being passed, or they might be passed in one house but have no chance of getting passed in the other, making them little more than a symbolic gesture. It's important to understand the context before demanding everyone get all freaked out and outraged about something that might not have ever been even remotely possible.

Thanks for clarifying that it was passed, that's important and relevant information.

I don't think parent implied that at all. This is a global forum, there is no need for this forum to debate bills in a small corner of one country with little technology presence.
