I just went and read the text of the bill itself, to verify the contents of the article you link to.
You'd expect that something this momentous would get more than a sentence in the bill itself, but no. Just a single, almost offhand comment in paragraph 42 of the bill.
Remove the word "forcible" from the bill, and you still have issues to deal with, but at least it doesn't have the potential to redefine the very nature of a heinous crime.
