That's a recent law so it shouldn't apply to this timeperiod.

That law isn't in effect until the end of November. It's a new regulation.

It's not a new law.

How so? If the rule was applicable from June 15th, it is surprising that it's being enforced before that date, no?

IIRC it's a law that is just a few months old.

Ah! I didn't realize there was a newer law. It seems dumb :P

Bummer, didn't know about that. Really silly law.

pionar | karma 1872 | avg karma 3.21 · | 2021-04-26 06:17:44+00:00

That rule was only implemented this year, so there is no data on that yet.

Wasn't that law only introduced a few years ago?

dhimes | karma 9548 | avg karma 2.09 · | 2016-08-11 14:58:01

Hey thanks for that- I didn't realize that's been the law.

paulftw | karma 340 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2014-12-18 13:05:26+00:00

I didn't know that. Is that a law, or just the way it's currently done?

This has been law since 2007 and is not new news

mason240 | karma 2247 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2015-02-13 16:46:01+00:00

It is a new law that just passed last year, and I'm not sure if it has taken effect yet.

ZeroGravitas | karma 26196 | avg karma 2.14 · | 2022-11-01 17:44:29

They passed laws 2 years ago to penalize this. Goes into effect next year.

This wasn't a surprise. Laws had been previously passed specifically to allow this to continue.

This only became illegal on January 1, 2019. Before that there was a grace period. So you're going to see a lot less of it.

So it is. I did a cursory search, but didn't come across that law. I edited my comment to reflect this.

scotty79 | karma 14043 | avg karma 1.62 · | 2014-09-06 06:27:23

That's not a new law. Just incosistent application.

trident5000 | karma 753 | avg karma 1.08 · | 2021-08-09 10:09:00

Doesnt go into effect until 2023. Theres going to be time for them to tweak this.

netcan | karma 15606 | avg karma 3.16 · | 2015-05-08 17:08:51+00:00

My bad. I somehow read it as a case last year, not a new law.

NikxDa | karma 406 | avg karma 7.38 · | 2023-07-18 00:44:13

Just to be clear here, the law you are referencing has been stopped and isn't passed yet. Mentioning it as if it were a fact is misleading, in my opinion.
