> legislative changes tomorrow could inadvertently nuke a bunch of contracts

That sounds like a good thing? Why should abusive illegal contracts be allowed to continue after the law has found them to be unacceptable?

I think you missed "inadvertently".

It's one thing if the legislation is specifically targeting those contracts, quite another if the unintended consequence is much broader than you intend. It's easy enough to imagine legislators unintentionally invalidating basically all of a states employment contracts this way, for example.
