        The California law does not require age verification. Only attestation. From what I have heard the Colorado one is basically identical.

        The NY one I have heard is more stringent. But I have not read that or the Colorado one.

      it’s a checkmark on a politicians career without them having to do anything real

      there’s many issues politicians will rally under if they see that it’s minimal work + huge virtue signaling potential (think of the children ! )
