From the link:

The ruling does not eliminate the last threat to PAGA, however. Business groups, which have argued that the law harms the economy and serves mainly to enrich lawyers, have qualified an initiative for the November 2024 ballot that would repeal the 2004 law and instead allow individual employees to sue their employers for labor law violations and collect 100% of the penalties, but no attorneys’ fees.

Remove lawyers and remove incentive to win cases.
