not sure if your in the US, but we can't even get net neutrality. Unfortuantely the likelyhood of this is a hell freezing over situation.
I would start with, laws should be logical and informed and go from there... the number of prerequisite changes required to come mildly close to this is unreal. Including but not limited too: copyright law, insurance law, patents, contract law, federal vs state law, an agency competent enough to enforce this, lobby from the most powerful companies in the world, and more.
I agree states can more quickly change laws, but thats a far cry from what's proposed here. Can you imagine enforcement of such a law? Can you imagine a state employee checking for root access? You break at least five California laws an hour there just walking around as the beauracratic machine consumes any reasonable enforcement. This would be considered absolutely niche and no politician would likely care because it wont get them reelected. Call me cynical I guess but our track record of change for the better is pretty poor in this arena.
In my dream we abolish copyright all together but alas we live in a profit oriented society not a knowledge oriented one.
Let's not have more of a single state passing de facto laws for the entire country, please. You're right that this happens, but it's an awful thing that we need to fight, not promote more of.

In dream land I support you though.
