Ok, you think the state can and should punish them for this.
Can you describe how they enforce this law, how will it work in practice? How do they find out if a priest broke this law? Do you only accept recordings of the actual priest hearing the confession or what?

It will work exactly how it works with husbands and wives when abuse of a minor is involved. Exact legal proceedures may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction just as with everything else, but the way they handle this will parallel the way they handle married couples.
It is not as if there were truly new ground here.
