- The law imposes regulatory obligations and potential criminal penalties on intermediaries, sparking industry criticism over its strictness and potential to set a regulatory precedent.
- Concerns include the broad scope of the tax, lack of explicit exemptions, and the possibility of driving business to more favorable states, while Illinois defends it as a fiscal sustainability measure.
