It is not illegal.
The new law is a bill PROPOSAL.
Even then, it really changes nothing, the original alaw says you cannot change the numbers to avoid the new database. The old law states you cannot change it in order to commit fraud. Not only is the new law pretty pointless as it would be fraud to bypass the new database anyhow, but the original said it was illegal to do so in order to commit fraud, which is illegal anyhow.
An OV on Metro is not committing fraud, you are simply putting a different phone onto their system, which you are paying to access.
