I don't know that they will be able to actively.  It would be a regulation
that would guide law-abiding companies not to do business with data
companies in hostile nations.  In the event of a breach caused by
disobeying the law, that company would be open to addition charges.

To be honest, I am surprised (and also concerned) that this had to be said
to begin with.  Most government agencies (state and federal) were already
barred from sending PII data overseas.  At least, KY was.  I don't know why
any other company, in their right mind, would be doing so beyond saving a
buck... which would quickly be lost when it comes time to clean up any
trouble that might be caused by doing so.
