Yeah, when I read the article, my initial thoughts were "Doesn't sound like such an unreasonable law to me." and "This author writes like a complete tool for a guy with a Ph.D. after his name."

Anyone feel differently?

EDIT:

One point I do agree with the author on is that there are far better ways to recover these costs. As Tony pointed out, it adds red tape and seems like it might cost more to implement than it recovers for the State.
