I just read an article about this. These sort of "laws" infuriate me. I love the phrase the writer used "Nanny-laws" - where the state thinks they have to be responsible for everyone's choices.

I hope it doesn't pass - it's just another way the government is trying to get in our business and make it harder for small-timers.
