This bill is so dumb, like seriously, what is it even trying to do? I don't get it at all. It's just a waste of time and money. People need to focus on real issues, not this nonsense. Who even comes up with this stuff? It's ridiculous. Leo's Law is going to affect a lot of people in a negative way.
