That's the point, they can't. Only California is allowed to do so.

Other states can adopt the California standard or the Federal one, and 14 other states and the District of Columbia has done so.

What they’re not allowed to do is to set their own standard, because 300,000 people in Wyoming is just too small of a market.

[dahdum]

You picked the smallest US state to compare with, but if it's only market size, why not Texas with 29M or Florida with 21M compared to CA's 39M?

[jonathankoren]

Because you can’t have 50 different standards. I mean you can, it just kills the market.

It’s funny that you take exception with me using Wyoming, when your example was Rhode Island, the 7th least populous state.

[dahdum]

I think Rhode Island deserves the same rights enjoyed by California, as does Wyoming.

Either everyone should get the ability, or no one should.
