Somehow I suspect that this bill is not unrelated to the results of a survey I heard about recently (sorry, no cite) that the single most consistent indicator of voting preference is church attendance. People who attend church at least once a week are far more likely to vote Republican. So its effect would apparently not benefit both parties equally.
