Although his reputation would suffer by signing an order and then not taking steps to implement it, the current governor will almost certainly be retired or holding national office by the time it becomes possible (near 2035) to take practical implementation steps, and as far as I know there is no way for proponents of this measure to compel or pressure future California governments to implement this order.
So unless I am missing something, unlike most executive orders, this order is merely symbolic and does not commit the government or anyone else to anything.
