Law enforcement and the criminal justice system would also be affected, as they would be responsible for enforcing the new law.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced in the legislature, but its current status is unclear. The next step would be for the bill to be assigned to a committee for further consideration and potential amendments before it can be voted on by the full legislative body.
