I believe the entire purpose of passing that law was for California to say "come at me bro" to the Federal government, and force a showdown on the issue. I doubt the California lawmakers ever expected it to actually go into effect, and not get blocked by lawsuits the moment the ink is dry.

There's another bill that ties net neutrality to state contracts. It would forbid the state from signing contracts with ISPs that don't follow net neutrality. They could also tack on taxes to non-compliance ISPs. The State will ultimately win the fight. It was very short-sighted for ISPs to make this federal issue because it would have just ended up with states.
