The CA Bill

I included the California bill link because this is already passed and sets the template other states are copying. Reading the bill helps you understand how broad the “OS provider” definition is and why it can sweep up Linux and open source.

Pros

+Primary source for the enacted California framework
+Shows the exact scope and requirements being proposed

Cons

-Not easy to parse without patience and context
