I'm glad to see that politicians recognize that working from home is beneficial, and hope that they work to incentivize it, or at least not disincentivize it.
Unfortunately, as described, this regulation could backfire and disincentivize it. By setting minimum standards for working from home, and allowing exemptions for when it isn't possible, any business that otherwise could allow working from home, but couldn't do so in a way that meets the regulations standards, will be better off exempting itself and completely prohibiting working from home.
