Can they quit? Or are they effectively being forced to perform labor for the government? This seems like an insanely impossible to enforce proposition.

That's something we'll have to wait and see on, see how the legal world interprets it. However, if it is interpreted that you quitting is not complying, it's fines and perhaps jail time.

There is only civil liability for noncompliance, in the form of massive fines. However there is 5-year imprisonment for people who disclose information about these notices though (unless it follows the aggregated statistics requirements).
