This is too much of a wet dream to come true. Too much protections for the plebs.

if it ever gets turned into an actual law it will be so full of holes as to be useless.

I'm going to stay hopeful, but you're both right...

It'll be on the 20th consecutive time they get caught, with each catch having to be in a new time period. And if they go a ~~year~~ month without ~~offending~~ getting caught their counter resets. Also, if they get a lawyer there's an arcane legal process to instead jail the employee.

Yeah, notice how it says "proposed." If it's good for the general public, Republicans are going to shoot it down.
