That law is impossible to follow and moronic.
You can't prevent a new unknown designs to be printed, and my guess is those are pretty trivial to make. And there is guaranteed to be workarounds too. This is just enshittification by law.
My guess is that this law will not pass.

    Reread the first 5 words of the headline.

    Sigh....

    Now read a little further:

    The bill must still pass through the California State Senate, and will pass through California governor Gavin Newsom's desk if it clears the Senate. Newsom can then either sign it into law, or veto it.

    But I can see the people upvoting you didn't do that either. Sigh....
    It's not my fault the headline is stupid and misleading. It has only passed 1 step out of 3.
