At the federal level, I think it's somewhat forgivable. They generally have a fair number of staffers working for them who are the ones that ultimately digest the bills.
State level, though, is unacceptable. It's unusual for a state rep to have any sort of staff which means it is completely on them to read and digest a bill before passing it.
The much bigger issue is that we have corporate and advocacy group sponsored bills at both the state and federal levels. That simply should not be a thing. Several very red or very blue state ultimately work as incubators for these bills and they simply adopt them as is.
