Correct, but it still passed a chamber of the legislature headed by the opposition party. Hell, it was sponsored by a legislator that is so convinced the current head of state is a criminal that he led an impeachment investigation against him. It indicates a severe lack of integrity when one sponsors a bill meant to give rather extreme authoritarian powers to someone you have decided is a criminal.
