In an interview with The Epoch Times, Caprigilione explains why he pushed the bill and its far-reaching implications...

Epoch Times: What did you do to make the bill pass?

Giovanni Capriglione: I grabbed the banner last session. I was a freshman and it was difficult. Part of the problem was that it has a lot of verbiage that had nothing to do with law. Things like the case of an economic meltdown.

This is a principle part of why the bill was created, but it made it a distraction trying to pass the bill. Because then you get into: Do you think the economy is going to collapse, blaming the president, blaming the banks. What I did in this version of it, I stripped all kinds of stuff out other than the bill itself.
