Speaking Tuesday at CGA's annual strategic conference here, Mason said the proposal "has been directed at our business, but has implications across the industry. It is a solution in search of a problem."
The bill is on the desk of California Gov. Brown, waiting for his approval or veto, "and we all hope good sense prevails," Mason said.
