I am also against such a law for safety reasons. The previous bike I had (Honda 90) had the property that if you had the headlight on, it drained so much power that you couldn't hear the horn! The Honda shop told me there was nothing that could be done to fix it - that was just the way the horn was. That bike had a 3 position key switch: off, on with no headlight, and on with headlight. Although my current bike has no such middle position (but I can leave it off with the headlights on - I wonder what I'm supposed to use that for!) the dimmer switch has three positions: off, low, and high. That solves the starting problem, even if there were no kick starter.
