I'm surprised that corporations in California haven't already made things abundantly clear to the State legislature. That is, be just as coercive to them.

"Unless the legislature repeals this new law within 72 hours, for one day we will discontinue service for the entire State."

Think of how many corporations could totally shut down California unless they got their way? California can't compel them to provide goods and services.

The utilities, the gasoline companies, the refineries, the groceries, etc., etc.

"Enough of this foolishness. Either you act reasonably, or we are going to fight back."

Some of the California utility companies apparently favor this, presumably because limiting supply results in more demand for their product. Here is a list of supporters/opponents of SB 1368:
