The escalation from misdemeanor to felony for bathroom use represents a documented pattern of penalty escalation in anti-trans legislation. Law enforcement opposition is notable — the people who would enforce this law don't want it. The private business provision extends government control over private spaces, contradicting the small-government framing. The bill creates a felony for existing in a public space — the same mechanism documented in Germany's Paragraph 175.
