A prime example of "Fake News." From a long established outlet, no less.
It's not a "new law." It's a proposed bill. The article itself admits such-
In other words.... it's not in effect, nor is there a date in the future that it will be in effect, nor even a date in the future when it will be voted upon, passed, or approved. And even if it does someday get to the floor for a vote, there is no guarantee that it won't have been heavily edited from it's current form.
In the US, there are many bills (hundreds or thousands a year, maybe more) proposed in every legislature, from the local, state and federal level, that never get to the floor for a vote.
Of course, you can't communicate all of this in a tweet, but calling it a "new law" is an obvious lie. "Proposed law" would have been more accurate, though with the sheer number of proposed bills that never even make it to a vote in any legislature, still hardly news in and of itself.
