When WA secedes along with oregon and cali to get away from the insanity, it'll be real convenient to have a law like this on the books so we can just copy it over. I guess.
The carve outs were so enormous due to industry lobby it's an embarrassment and crosses the "locks in more future harm than good it releases" threshold:
...Game consoles, Smart home devices, biometric security, Farm equipment, off-road gear, EV chargers, routers, modems, medical devices, set-top boxes, and a ton of industrial stuff...
I was curious about a source on this. I believe I found the final bill here. Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong. But section 5 indeed has a slew of carveouts for basically everything you would want this bill to cover:
emergency communications equipment
medical devices
motor vehicles or equipment
life safety systems
farm or agricultural equipment
video game consoles
solar panels or batteries (in hilariously generic yet vague wording: "power generation or storage equipment and certain products that
store electrical energy and transmit the energy after storage; products that generate or store electrical energy from solar radiation;")
