Let's pretend I'm a businessman, and I have to decide whether to start a business in sunny California. This law requires that I give each employee 3 months of paid time off for any excuse they come up with, on top of other vacation and benefits.

Hmmmmmm.

Besides the US or Kali business owners agreeing with you, there is another large and well funded group that are agreeing with you.

For the past 6-8 years, large Euro Pharmaceutical Firms have been quietly relocating their research and manufacturing to the US. The reason why is simple. In Euro Trash Countries, the average worker is off about 3+ months a year with vacations, long holidays and gimics like this one being proposed.

I got to talk to an international VP of one these firms which was and is pulling out of Europe to do research and manufacturing here. I asked him why. He said that he could hire well educated, trainded and motivated American workers at full benefits who were were willing to work 10 to 11 months a year after normal time off and increased vacations with seniority. Their Euro counterparts worked less than months per year.

Besides the massive time off per year, his firm was getting hit with paid sabbaticals (another 3 to 6 months off on top of the 3+ months of other time off.)

Actions like this will preempt the Euro gene splitting companies which would like to set up large research and production facilities to be near the other biggies like Genentec. No major pharmaceutical company that I know of has any major production or research going on in Kali with the exception the gene splitters. This is due to the anti business agendas of the Rats in Sacramento.
