In other words, boilerplate.
The advent of the computer age allowed many great things -- and many nefarious things too. Boilerplate is one of those things that can have either effect. In this case, the watermelons have learned that grass-roots opposition will attend any program they try to invoke via the legislative process, so they focus their sights on the bureaucracies that support the legislators, and give them the innocuous seeming boilerplate to flesh out their proposals.
Since federal acts have more visibility, (relatively), than the various state acts, placing the same or similar boilerplate in the states acts eventually accomplishes the same deed with little or no opposition. The bigger the bureaucracy within the governments, the easier it is to get the insertion. Everyone is overworked and on deadline.
It all boils down to lack of oversight and appropriate monitoring by those we charge with upholding and maintaining our way of life -- the US Congress. Congress has repeatedly shirked it's duties; sold out to the fat-cat contributors of all stripes, and usurped the rights of Citizens all in the pursuit of self-aggrandizement, pork-laden self promotion; and totally ignored the fact that their only purpose is to safeguard all of the Citizens of all of the States, and not just the watermelon lobbyists and self-promoters that abound inside the Beltway.
