Yes I do know that, but the problem it is attempting to fix is:

I'm not exactly sure there have been proper discussions as to why we shouldn't have a law such as this. If there are a ton of edits, that is fine. All you are required to do is make sure the revised copy has been posted.
In typical legislatures, a bill cannot simply be edited quietly, the entire bill and all changes are ALWAYS given to all legislators before it goes to a vote.
