Why it moved the index
The signed law creates enforceable disclosure, incident-reporting, whistleblower, and independent-audit duties for the largest frontier developers. Its magnitude is moderate because the controls are state-level and become effective in 2027, while confidence is high because the official enactment release specifies the completed action and mechanisms.
