This bill is so dumb, like seriously? Who comes up with this stuff? It's like they want kids to be on their own from birth or something. I mean, I get it, we want kids to be independent and resilient, but this is just too much. Can't they just let kids be kids? Ugh, whatever. I guess some people will benefit from this bill, but definitely not me.
