Currently, SB1164 has been sent to the House from the Senate, and it now needs to be read officially to the House, assigned to committee, and the committe must either give it a favorable or unfavorable report. If it's a favorable report, which it should be since it has strong support in the House, it then has to go to the Calendars Committee, and hopefully set on the House Major Calendar.
