I’m writing my lawyer as we speak.

Nah but wouldn’t that be legitimately wild if someone pushed that to the point to where California had to make an exemption for temple OS specifically?

Dude now that I think about this I wonder if this could work.

I know this comment is a joke, but the CA bill requires age bucketing for to be provided by the OS to “covered stores”. Basically, any source of 3rd party programs.

Since TempleOS (at least, the original one written solely by Terry Davis) has no networking stack, no such “covered store” can exist. I think there’s not even support to load external storage drives, so all programs on the machine are either written by the user or provided first-party by the OS. I think TempleOS would be exempt on those grounds.
