Doesn't matter much if people like how California approaches laws, but it is obvious that what happens here tends to create copy versions across the country (the most famous is the vehicle emission rules, but more recent ones like universal school lunch and maybe even the upcoming banned food colors/additives). At least for the emission laws and the banned food coloring, it is not likely that a California only version of the products would be made.

I was thinking one of the new laws which has many effects on travel (resort fees and related) may also impact card surcharges. I haven't seen any notification from the networks, but I can't imagine this will be an exception.
