It’s two different people. Hawley and smoot. We’re both right albeit my spelling is dog shit. Happy Friday!

Obviously it’s two different lawmakers who introduced the bill. Jesus don’t they teach anything other than clip of a movie with Ben Stein. Most bills are named after lawmakers.

Edit: Another famous example of this is Sarbox - Sen. Paul Sarbanes (D–MD) and Rep. Michael G. Oxley (R–OH-4), the co-sponsors of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act

There are almost no modern examples of naming a bill after its sponsors but I understand the historical significance of your point.
