The article says it's a state law that applies to everyone. States can pass laws. They have that right. For example, there is a federal minimum wage. Some states have passed laws to raise their own minimum wage above the federal level. This is similar. I don't see any problem, in theory, in passing a law requiring certain benefits be provided to employees in a particular state. In practice, there may be a problem when all the businesses leave your state.
