duplicate actions display on congress.gov #32

I understand that duplicate actions are present in the BillStatus xml. However, there are a couple of bills that have duplicate actions that are displaying on congress.gov and looks like it might be some kind of data anomaly:

For example HR 5937

Date Chamber All Actions 09/29/2016 Became Public Law No: 114-227. 09/29/2016 Became Public Law No: 114-227. 09/29/2016 Signed by President. 09/29/2016 Signed by President. 09/26/2016 House Presented to President. 09/26/2016 House Presented to President.

Also: HR 4721
