If this passes and is allowed to stand, we'll soon see States/Countries/Cities all over the globe passing whatever laws they want to usurp domain ownership - much like Kentucky's claim that only they can operate globally available websites for gambling.

This would only help large corporations with registered trade marks take domains from other users or domain investors (legally steal). It is a good law, but it needs some mods, this law the way it is could cause a disaster to the Domain/IT industry and it will result in the lost of millions of dollars for companies, small business owners, sole proprietor website/domain owners and other. So if I have had X and Y domain names with a city name in it for many years now, and I'm getting a profit from them the city of X or Y will be able to just take it away from me and not only will I loose my income and would stop paying taxes for it, but I would have to pay a fine that will result in me loosing more money! and on the side the registrar that I have my domain with will also be liable for this practice and they would also loose money. This is totally wrong the way it is proposed.
