I hear a lot about that but I haven't seen the actual law passed by Congress, as opposed to some agency's rule.
Yup, that is what I have been googling to no avail myself.

Re: Parking lot Bill question

In regards to the parking lot bill... I was told the parking lot bill excludes "critical infrastructure" such as power plants, nuke sites, refineries, etc as this is by federal law. I have tried googling this and cannot find it. Since I know there are so many "facts" that people tell about CHL that just isn't so, is this one of them or does anyone know about these exceptions?

Not only wrong, but if he is receiving updates from the DPS, I'd like to know about it. I have heard many CHL instructors complain that they don't receive any.
