I live in Texas and we have the same laws but, yet, a "business friendly" reputation. There's no way to spin it, these kind of laws are the perfect example of an industry using bought politicians to block competition and protect their profits.
I mean it’s very pro-business to mandate that anyone who wants to buy a car has to give money to a business that’s not doing much of anything to deserve it. As long as you ignore idealistic notions of how markets work anyway.
