Per this article in the Atlantic, other states are not allowed to even ask for a waiver.

No other state can ask for a waiver under the existing exemption. Nothing was stopping other states from seeking similar leeway in the bill, only California tried. Also per the article, the reason for that was the unique geography and circumstances of LA.
