California banning resort fees?

As a Marriott Titanium I loathe resort fees. Every time I engage with them, especially on award stays, my hatred for the bonvoy program grows and grows.

As a Hyatt globalist, I adore resort fees! Others pay more and I pay less. The more resort fees the better. Resort fees everywhere. Resort fees at the Hyatt Place by the interstate please.

Wondering what lawyers think of this new resort fee regulation in CA:

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/california-resort-fees#:~:text=The%20state%20of%20resort%20fees%20in %202024&text=California's%20upcoming%20junk%20fee% 20ban,effect%20on%20July%201%2C%202024.

On the one hand this seems bad as a globalist and multi-Hyatt California hotel user. On the other hand the law seems to be written so weakly as to not matter.

anyone else have a legal take? Please leave your OMNI takes about the merits of California style governmental regulation for another forum, thanks!
