PAGA in State of California

Hello searchers and acquisition entrepreneurs,

Anyone has any idea on PAGA in state of California and validity of it,

redacted
It looks like sharks are out there to just file notices against any businesses regardless of their tenure or size etc and hoping to get a pot of cash from somewhere.

Is this a deterrent for any searchers to buy business in this state.?

PAGA is a major problem in California. I know multiple companies that have filed bankruptcy or had settlements costing over $1m from not being able to acceptably document meal and break periods. The employees hate it because they are tracked like prisoners.
