Why would anyone in their right mind even consider starting a business in CA? Taxes, regulations, cost of living... Other than its own self-image, what does CA have going for it?
The environmentalists in California will enact strict “space pollution” laws.
I wouldn’t give CA the time of day.
As long as someone other than California has these laws, how does this even begin to be enough to lure some presumably rational company to Kaliforniastan? Even if Kali were the only one, other states would follow. How can anyone in good conscience subject themselves to the tyranny or become passive enablers of it by paying taxes there?
“cases such as gross negligence”

Pollution regs stop it in the womb.
Perechlorate anyone? Cali LOVES perichlorate.
A debate on whether to offer Protection of business from preditors.
Not gonna happen unless CA comes up with hefty bribes to the companies. Companies that are fiscally savvy will weigh the minuses of locating to CA and chose more business friendly states. I suspect they will go to Texas, Florida, Virginia, or New Mexico.
