Potential points of contention

  • Scope and specificity: Without detailed bill text available, stakeholders from tech, business, and consumer advocacy groups may have competing interests in how broadly or narrowly the provisions apply

  • Implementation and compliance costs: Businesses may contest requirements they view as burdensome, while consumer advocates may argue protections are insufficient
