Passing a law making something legal that is already legal may give the researchers a warm fuzzy about their careers, but that doesn't mean that it will have any effect on future laws concerning the same activity. The legal system is a framework, defining the acceptable limits of social behavior. It does this by codifying what is unacceptable, and defines punishment for failure to comply.

Passing a law that makes legal what is already legal is a waste of legislative time and dilutes the entire process with useless verbiage. If this becomes the norm, they may as well start defining laws that establish illegal acts without criminal repercussions and legal acts with criminal repercussions.
