Probably won’t happen too fast in CA. The environmentalists will have concerns over the effect of dumping the salt back into the ocean on marine life (maybe a good point), so committees will be formed and studies will be funded. Years later, each side of the issue will take their lobbying points gathered from the studies to the politicians, where usually money wins out. If it did get approved then they have to go through the judicial process, as the loser will most likely file a suit......
Calif already has that it’s called the Coastal Commission, takes years to get anything built
who’s grandather wpuld believe there would ever need to be endless environmental studies about seawater..but there will continue to be in California...

Brine released in deep ocean waters has a miniscule effect.
