My local Congressman has just E-mailed last week. He said it is Dead for the 109th congress. Which is the current one. It never got out of Committee. And with more Dems winning this Fall, most likely, the Bill will be dead for a long time.
About two years ago, the Dems were like 5-1 against it, and the Rep. were 5-1 for the change.
I say in about 5 years in may change.
