This bill has no teeth and is going to be near impossible to enforce.

Good luck with this feel good legislation.

My assumption is that the bill couldn't apply to players since no one is getting donations for votes/support in the game.

I mean, who’s enforcing this? “Direct” lobbying can mean a lot of different things, it also doesn’t remove any sort of PAC funneling or informal agreements.

It’s meaningless, it doesn’t do anything. Also you can’t ban pushing stuff towards executives, that violates the first amendment and I will have my Attorney General team sue if this bill passes and is signed.

This is a joke piece of legislation that will have ZERO impact.

Would you like one drafted next session?

Not sure what practical impact this has in game as structured.
