So I'm curious why this bill was being pushed if that discrimination is already banned then?

You'd have to ask the bill's authors to know for sure.

If I had to bet though it was a security thing. They want caste named explicitly because a good deal of Indian immigrants are dealing with it despite it supposedly being illegal.

It was primarily Hinduphobic agenda-driven by vested interests.
