Excellent question. They seem to do this kind of thing all the time. I have seen a bunch of instances where very non-related items are bundled together on one bill.
I have a feeling it is because the bill starts out with a few related items on it then a few lawmakers say that in order for them to support it they want to add something to it. After everyone adds their 2 cents it ends up being this crazy bill with 10 completely unrelated things going on.
They need to change that. If a bill is put forth with something you should have to vote yes or no on that item. You shouldn't be able to say, "I'll vote yes if you add this to the bill for me."
