Hi, Alanna. I was able to replicate this issue here by adding a label to a layout using the dynamic text "Layer Credits", which creates a label using this expression: [%array_to_string(map_credits())%]
It seems that that expression will include any credits specified in the QGIS metadata for each layer that appears on the layout. To adjust (or remove) the credit text for a layer, open the Layer Properties > Metadata > Access and edit the value shown for the "Rights (attribution or copyright)" section. I'm guessing that the text string "REQUIRED: Restrictions and legal prerequisites for using the data set after access is granted" was in the rights metadata of one of the datasets you are including on your map. I've occasionally seen such values in cases where the data creator (even an otherwise authoritative government entity) started their metadata from a template and never finished editing it properly. There are some more details about the map_credits() function and its options (like saying which data layer the credit applies to) here: https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/expressions/functions_list.html#map-credits Hope this helps!
