It's a California state law issue and this is a decision of the California Supreme Court upholding the decision of the Court of Appeals, which had upheld the Superior Court. This has already survived the whole chain of appeals.

So you're saying it can't possibly raise any (US) constitutional questions?

As an example, consider what happens when one of the affected contractors is in another state. That makes it a Commerce Clause issue. You can wave your hands and sputter indignantly all you want, but Wickard and Filburn are going to wave right back at you.
