Potential points of contention

  • Enforcement mechanisms: Questions about whether enforcement relies on government agencies, private lawsuits, or both—affecting litigation costs and business liability exposure
  • Compliance burden: Whether new requirements impose significant costs on small businesses versus large corporations, potentially affecting market competition
