war der Anlass zur Verabschiedung/zum Erlass neuer Gesetze


Explanation:
"Prompt" = "der Anlass sein für", "anstoßen"

http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=rel...


Hier "fordert" niemand Gesetze, der Erlass neuer Gesetze wird nur durch das Auftreten der Haie angetrieben, vorwärts getrieben bzw. "veranlasst".
