Yes, new laws are always the foremost solution for a liberal,
and it’s entirely consistent with their worldview.
Humans act bad because their environment is bad.
Humans will act good when their environment is good.
So, the solution is to have enough power to make a perfect environment.

(1) It keeps the liberal politicians employed.
(2) It generates some form of tax revenue from “the fly-over peons” such that...well...see #1 above.
