yeah, this feels like a big heckin deal??
hopefully we can get this elsewhere, too
which feels like it might be easier if companies are already complying with this
This is part of the California regulation strategy: California is the largest market in the country for many products. It’s often cheaper to make things to California standards for everyone than to run two different production lines or facilities or give up California altogether, so we get California approved and labeled things all across the US. It’s a nifty feature of the state.
Like the EU, but on a national level
If California were to join the EU, it’d be the fifth largest state in the union, right after Spain.
