The legislation you're talking about is part of the "no deal" preparation everyone has been bleating on about.
Every government department has prepared statutory instruments that fix all our laws that rely on provisions from the EU.
They are not required for a no deal to occur. But they are required to prevent the country ceasing to operate pretty much over night.
I think the idea with this legislation is to lay it as late as possible, and then, if a deal or some form of transition / cancelling of brexit occurs, it can be pulled.
There are loads of the these SIs that need to go through on everything you can imagine. Non are needed if we get to a transition period or better.
