Opponents of the measure, including the Ella Baker Center, have said the state already has laws in place to keep traffickers in prison for a significant amount of time. The Assembly Public Safety Committee Chairman, Assemblyman Reggie Jones-Sawyer, D-Los Angeles, said in Tuesday's hearing more prison time would not address the root of the problem.

I guess this is why some people (well, I guess more than "some") opposed it.
Surprised, though, since I thought people generally had "lock them up and throw away the key" attitude towards those types of criminals.

A little update.
Seems like the governor is stepping in, but also this was a very unusual situation that blindsided everyone.

How sure are you that there is nothing wrong with the bill itself? What the government claims a bill is for and what it actually does can be quite different---especially when it comes to terrorism, national security, or protecting children. There is a truck load of shitty bills claiming to protect children floating around at the federal level right now that are wildly unpopular publicly, and are designed to vastly increase police power, reduce privacy, and could be used to severely discriminate against LGBT+ people.

I don't know a thing about this bill since I don't live in California, but it is a mistake to assume that legislation is always written in good faith. Rest assured though, good or bad, this bill will probably rise from the ashes at some point. Almost all legislation like this gets at least a second chance at life, whether it was a good bill or not.

Democrats reversed course and passed the bill.
