Common complaint is that government enforcement of laws is insufficient, i.e. fines are only x% of their worldwide revenue. Sounds like this way has teeth and might force companies to actually obey the law?

it doesnt have teeth if its unconstitutional

"Unconstitutional" is whatever the Supreme Court says it is.
