Wasn't that law implemented to create more jobs, rather than for safety?

IIRC correctly its actually has to do with insurance premiums rather than blanket "safety" reasons.

Same for New Jersey. I was informed somewhere along the line that it was originally for safety and never got repealed. Now it seems to have morphed into a jobs "plan".
